I honestly don’t know your point anymore. Whether “German” or “Anglo” are equivalent terms makes no difference to the question of whether “Anglo” is a supposedly a slur. As an Anglo, I don’t find it to be a slur and I’m bothered by the fact that people are making such a mountain out of a molehill. The original usage didn’t offend anyone except those seeking out to be offended. Get off your high horse.
Edit: The original poster was obviously criticizing American and British intelligence services. Derailing that criticism with such unimportant linguistic complaints does a disservice to those discussing things that actually matter. Using the term “Anglos” simply isn’t a big deal.
- watwut 3y agoYou argue that Anglo is as much slur as Germans and then you claim it does not matter whether they are equivalent? I was not the one who brought up these words. Original poster had zero actual criticism, just attempted to insinuate that Germans could not possibly be against Russia if they are not paid by CIA. That comment was meant to make you feel certain way without putting in argument. As such, the specific word choices absolutely deserve being picked apart.
