The Anglosphere is a term to describe English-speaking countries. That article makes no mention of Anglo-Saxon being a term to describe British, Americans, or Australians.

There is this on the Anglo-Saxon wikipedia page:



No one inside of the Anglosphere would describe an Irish person for example as Anglo-Saxon. It would be like me calling Argentinians Aztecs.



It really isn't, unless you come from a country where everyone is stupid.

Have you never heard of people describing the anglo saxon model etc?

Are all world leaders stupid?


Edit: Even though it doesn't say white people, when you say britain and so a part of the anglosphere people think white people

Just got in from a steaming night on the Thames to find that we've bid for the ultimate top-cunt in Diego Costa. Throwing spit in Sergio Ramos' eyes is a heroic deed, in my opinion.

ffs I'm due at work in 8 hours.

That refers to the language, much like Anglosphere.

It's a bit different to calling a Welsh or Irish person Anglo-Saxon. You'd probably get knocked out if you told an Irishman that he was Anglo-Saxon.

That is irrelevant, it is an accepted generalization. It doesn't matter if someone believes it is wrong or unfair.

It's not Arsenal's place to be laughing at anyone this summer.

Especially Liverpool.

You've been our comic relief over the last few weeks, your every fibre existing to tickle us silly.
 
Liverpool can finish 4th.

We were laughing at Fry thinking that Liverpool can finish fourth.

That is laughable.

It's an accepted generalisation outside of the Anglosphere. The place that actually matters is the British Isles.

Referring to South Asian looking people as Indians or P***s is an accepted generalisation in the UK. It doesn't make it right or all right.

Come September 2nd we'll see where you're at in terms of laughter.

Just seen that CSKA Moscow fell to the mighty Co. Tyrone in the Milk Cup.

Be proud Yenrot. It's your county against Manchester United in the final.
