anglo saxon?

Question

what is this term i heard some white guy talk about this ? please let me know

Answer 1

It often refers to Northern European descended people, but in the most strict sense it refers to people descended from England. In short, people like me.

Answer 2

Anglos and the saxons (also known as warrior kings) are barbaric people who lived in the England area around the times of the Roman Empire. Anglos and the Saxons was enemies and one day a queen of one of their races got boned by a commoner of the other then the Anglos and Saxons became one, thus the term Anglo saxon. The english language evolved from these people.

Answer 3

This is a weird one....

OK, it actually means someone from England, descended from the Anglo or Saxon conquerors that came and kicked some *** in the period 400-500AD. The native people of the british isles are Celtic (Ireland is the only place where there is still a large Celtic population, the Irish speak Irish Gaelic--the people of Scotland speak Gaelic too, but they are more Anglo-Saxon physically i.e. they have red hair). So the Anglo-Saxon people came in and pillaged, raped, plundered, etc. and mixed w/the native population. That is why some English people are blonde and have red hair, which is usually more characteristic of Northern European mainlanders (like the Dutch, Danish, and German people). I don't know why English people chose to identify this way, and a lot of white Americans identify this way as well, although they aren't "anglo-saxon." I think white people in the U.S. identify this way because the original 13 colonies were mostly populated by English people, and were "white-anglo-saxon-protestants" (or WASP's, another politically correct term some white people identify by).

Answer 4

At the time of the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD the inhabitants were Celtic, speaking a Celtic language - the same people as the Gauls of France.

After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, the people of this country are labelled "Romano-British" indicating a fusion of the two cultures.

It was at this time that many migrating peoples from North Germany and South Denmark (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians and others) began to arrive in Britain - for convenience they are all termed "Anglo-Saxons". They spoke a German dialect called "English", which is today called Old English. It is the origin of the language we speak today.

Calling modern people "Anglo-Saxons" is extremely anachronistic (out of its proper time).
