The term "Anglo" when used as an ethic identifier in this context instead, in its predominant usage, it implies a white person who speaks English as a native language. This reflects the reality that some Hispanics are racially identified as white and may be predominantly Iberian rather than Mestizo or Mulatto by descent.<br /><br />There may be an English descent sense in other parts of the English colonial empire, but even in Medieval England and Northeastern Ethnic reference, "Anglo-Saxon" would typically be used to convey the sense you refer to.Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-58210834861889720392012-06-30T01:48:26.728-06:002012-06-30T01:48:26.728-06:00Please, just say "white" instead of &quo...Please, just say "white" instead of "Anglo"--as Anglo implies someone of English descent which is not necessarily the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
