The Anglo-Saxons inhabited England, not the rest of the British isles. The term more-or-less corresponds to racially English, or culturally English.
The people in Wales, Scotland and Ireland were the Celts, with some subdivisions (Picts etc).
But it looks like both terms are more loaded in the USA [1], so I don't want to speculate on the intent of the comment.

- barry-cotter 6y ago> The Anglo-Saxons inhabited England, not the rest of the British isles. The term more-or-less corresponds to racially English, or culturally English. This isn’t true. The Lowland Scots are no less culturally Anglo-Saxon than the English. They were slightly less successful than the English at extirpating all traces of Celtic culture from their homeland but it wasn’t for want of trying.
