I’m German on both sides of my family, and quite familiar with “Perfidious Albion”. You might have noticed, but we Americans had to wage two separate wars to kick your confiscatory, monarchical and inbred asses out of North America.
“God save the Queen”? Really? I loathe everything she represents (Divine Right, anyone?) and boasting about 700 years of oppression isn’t something I’d crow about.[/quote]
You’re twisting yourself into a pretzel..now you’re of German heritage, but a day ago, as per your own words:
“Also, spare me the racism directed at my Anglo heritage, please. It doesn’t have a place on this forum.”
Again, a low blow and spurious argument because all I did, as documented by my post, is criticize an Anglo ECONOMIC theory.
Memo: German heritage/ethnicity is NOT Anglo…It’s something else, I know what it is, you figure it out…maybe by your “we Americans”, you’re now a Native-American “Indian”.
Obviously very ethnically sensitive and confused you are, indicated by your use of the term “inbred”….a word uttered by millions of… “pure” Germans.[/quote]
Ravinos: Nope, you had it right the first time, regarding my reaction to the term “Anglos”. I reacted due to the use of that term by Hispanics, and often in a pejorative sense.
“Pure” Germans? Ah, now you’re playing the Nazi card, is that it? No joy there, either, Kitchener. My Grandma left Germany in 1935 to escape exactly that kind of nonsense. Not a “pure” German anyway, since that doesn’t exist, except to idiots like Hitler, who wasn’t even German.
As far as racial purity goes, you “Anglos” have us Teutons beat, hands down. I don’t know if you hail from either the Stuarts or the Tudors (you mention both English and Scotch heritage), but the Royals in England have had a going concern as far as making money from racial warfare, oppression and tribal hatreds.
Interesting you didn’t mention the “Saxon” part of Anglo-Saxon. We could open the door up to Queen Victoria’s dirty little secret (and, no, I’m not talking about her relationship with Mr. Brown). Speaking of Queen Victoria: She definitely put the wood to the brown folks of the world during her tenure, didn’t she? Perhaps her “dirty little secret” (from her mother’s side) at work, eh?
While there is certainly plenty to be horrified at coming from a German heritage, you “pure” Anglos have done far more damage, and claimed far more lives, and for a far greater period than my folks have. It continues to this day and in places like the Balkans, and Palestine and Afghanistan and all over the continent of Africa. That British “Civilizing Mission” was truly something to behold, huh? Of course, I’m sure you’re thinking “Where is Richard the Lion-Hearted when we need him most to deal with these fuzzy-wuzzies”?
Hey, do you want to tell the various readers about how the British invented the concentration camp?
