Isn't it true that the original 13 colonies which achieved their freedom from Great Britain were predominantly Anglo-Saxon, or people of British origin and not Irish, German, Italian or African?
Honorable Presidents, Generals and Patriots, Messrs Washington, Jefferson, Grant, Adams, Franklin and others - many were indeed, Anglo-Saxon by descent. 230 years since, while it is certainly a highly honourable thing to appreciate one's nation's struggle for independence, I think one needs to be relevant to the present context. Right from the American media kings to the cheery taxistas, they never let down their ridicule of the British.
FYI, I'm neither Brit nor American. I'm just looking for explanations with factual bases, even if they go to prove that I've got my facts wrong. It would be most appreciated. But if you're planning to reply rudely - Its none of your ***** business, request you to please excuse yourself and not respond.
