Will America remain American--with roots, culture, and language reaching back to Anglo Saxon Europe?

Question

When millions of legal Mexican Americans and illegal Mexican immigrants want to be and remain Mexican? As millions of Mexican Americans straddle and easily transit two countries joined by contiguous borders, there is simply no overarching necessity to become American when they can remain Mexican. The Mexican government itself, long engaged in irredentism, has leveraged its hold on Mexicans in undermining their allegiance to the United States by granting dual citizenship to all Mexican Americans, whether naturalized or American born citizens of Mexican ancestry. Many Mexicans may like America, work in it, pay taxes, and serve in its armed forces, but they will just as stubbornly adhere to their native language and culture. Mexican Americans typically don’t think of themselves as denying allegiance to America because they don’t think of themselves as an American in its cultural sense but as American in its Latin American sense. Mexicans are Mexicanos, Chicanos, Latinos, Hispanics or, finally, Mexican-American, but seldom simply American. To be an American is to be White, a Gringo--a derogation no self-respecting Mexican will abide.

Answer 1

if you was born in this country or become a legal citizen you are an american. my niece is half black, when people ask her what she is she says she is an AMERICAN!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I grew up in towns where all the "hard-core Americans" still talked about their Italian or Irish backgrounds. America is America because of all the different people that made it what it is. If culture refuses to change and adapt with time it becomes stagnant and dies.

Besides you ignore the very history of what Anglo-Saxon is and what it evolved from itself which leads to...."In popular usage in Canada and the United States, the term "Anglo-Saxon" (as in "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" or "WASP") has evolved into a politicised term with little connection to its academic definition. Until about 1960 the term was mostly used and popularized by Irish Catholics and French-Canadians."

So basically- by disregarding the essence of how culture and language evolves over time by just the nature of the question, your use of the word Anglo-Saxon and the need to maintain it is no different than you calling yourself a Gringo from the get-go. You just placed yourself in a box and did injustice to the very roots your supposably trying to defend!

properly relatively you'vee have been given a component, clues interior the call-Anglo Saxon.call comes from 2 of the three Germanic tribes that got here to Britain, Angles and Saxons. So therefor can purely relatively be utilized to those that're from the lands those tribes settled.If that's what individuals thought of the term Anglo Saxon is, what do they think of it skill whilst it comprises the Anglican Church?? And Laurence, the seax (no longer sax), or scramaseax replaced right into a quick knife particularly such as a well known-day penknife, it relatively is the place the call Saxon got here from, given with tips from the Romans to maximum Germans who used one among these knife, interior a similar way as Scots nonetheless call us sasenachts (that's Saxon yet to their ears and language).A scramaseax replaced into used for commonly used chores yet could additionally help in tight areas or a safeguard wall, everywhere a sword ought to no longer be swung.in addition they used yet another blade called the langseax (longseax) which replaced into returned a single edged weapon, larger than a scramaseax yet smaller than a sword, with regard to a similar length as a machette on the instant.this could have been used with tips from warriors that ought to no longer arise with the money for a sword. particular the Jutes did settle Kent and the isle of wight (there is conjecture that it relatively is how the call "wight" comes from, a corruption of isle of jute) yet the two one among those kingdoms have been ultimately invaded and absorbed into different kingdoms, Mercia invaded the isle of wight and and compelled the Jutes to transform to christianity, then a pair of hundred years later the two have been annexed to the dominion of Wessex. might if obtainable opt to appreciate a sprint greater approximately the two villages that teach how severe deformity costs as a results of inter breeding even with the indisputable fact that, i had no longer heard of this. relatively the English are called Anglo Saxons because of the fact they have been the two best tribes area with tips from area in England (the call England stems from Anglalond,or land of the Angles) so except there is yet another usa someplace the place the two best communities of folk are the Angles and the Saxons then relatively the term ought to easily be used for England. i think from that folk will now say "oh particular, in Germany the Anglo Saxons have been area with tips from area" yet one factor.....the Angles do no longer exist there as a tribe anymore! The term is English and English purely.individuals ought to verify greater books and watch much less videos for their guidance!

Answer 4

Umm...have you ever heard of Native Americans? They are the "original" Americans when you get right down to it. And they're not white, my friend. But anyway, who cares? To be American is many things--it is to be black, Chinese, Italian, Polish, Irish, Pakistani, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, or atheist. And anyway, what exactly is so threatening about Mexican people? If you are so proud of your Anglo Saxon roots and speak the language that your ancestors spoke, why can't new immigrants to this country retain their mother tongue and pride in their heritage? GET A LIFE.

Answer 5

This question is amusing to me because America is best known as a "melting pot" since the Ellis Island days. I think many who post here don't have any idea of the history of the country in which they live. Ignorance is not bliss.

Isn't this the same poster who was denigrating another poster for spelling errors?

Answer 6

Man you hate mexicans lol

dude the mexicans will help build America like the germans french english russian chinese japanese ect that live(d) there are doing and did.

Answer 7

The real Americans did not immigrate from Europe as you did obviously. There were many native indigenous languages, around 300 plus and still being used. Get over your self.

Answer 8

I hate to burst your bubble but we Anglo Americans are rapidly becoming a minority in our own country! Within the next twenty or so years, you are going to see some very gradual changes in this country. You will hardly notice them but they are coming! In less than a century this will not be the America we know today! If you want to keep this country as we now know it; we had all better get busy. We have now reached the three billion mark due to immigration. White Americans have fewer children so we are becoming the minority. Clamp down on immigration & send the illegals home, now!

Answer 9

I think that all illegal aliens should go back into outer space. They come here to take my job of cleaning other people's toilets which I've been dreaming about ever since I was a little gal.

Answer 10

I disagree. There are a lot of Americans whose heritage is non-white, many of them Mexican, others black or of asian or Indian descent.

I think you are thinking of a specific subset, but your brush is too broad.
