Okay, you're a Slav. I never said you were an Anglo. I would hate to make anyone sick to death.
Feel better now?

Because typically speaking, white people are from the European nations. Thus they are called Anglos, which is short for Anglo saxon. You should be proud of your slavic heritage but you should stop taking yourself so seriously. Most of us in the US are mixed breeds and therefore of many different nationalities.

Those who use the term "Anglo" are, clearly, uneducated: they have no concept of the origin of Caucasian people, or what modern-day countries they settled.
Don't bother to try to enlighten them, though. Such people are often too busy lobbying to have bi-lingual cereal boxes required in all stores to pay attention to anything deeper.
Sorry if that sounds blunt, but I've HAD it with Be Nice to Illegal Aliens Day.

When you say, 'Why do you call Whites anglos?' I am not sure who you are referring to. What have I or anyone else done to make you sick to death? Move to Russia if you don't want to be associated with Britain and France. From what I know, Anglo, just means English.

The same reason people think all Africans look like West Africans. Or that Chinese and Japenese is the same or Arab and Persian is the same. Ignorance.
I just learned German was an ethnicity.

well then just correct the ppl who call u anglo, jeez... thats just like cubans who look "black" and "mixed" ppl who look "spanish"... everyone is used to what certain races look like so sum ppl make wrong assumptions from time to time ;)
for instance my daughter is mixed(black and white) and many people ask me if she is hispanic, but, i dont get all amped up and cuss them out or anything, i just simply correct them and say no, shes mixed
its that simple ;) ;)

Because white people pretty much look the same to Mexicans?
