Mexican Americans are often classed as 'Latino' - this is not a reference to genetic heritage, but to language. Latin languages include Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and even Romanian. Generally, though, the term is aplied to Latin Americans - spanish and portuguese speaking peoples of the western hemisphere.

While it'd be easy to take Anglo as meaning English, it could be meant more in the sense of Anglophone: english-speaking peoples. Thus, Americans, non-Quebecois Canadians, Brits, Australians, etc would all be 'Anglos.'

Of course, there are lots of non-white native english speakers, so I suppose it could just be that they really do think all white people come from England. Afterall, people like toclaim that 'Anglos' think all 'Latinos' are Mexcian, so why not turn it around?
