Question To All British Members: Do you consider "WASP" Americans to be British?

[Widukind91]

It seems that many Americans of a "WASP" background (usually only partially, most are mixed with non-British ancestries) like to consider themselves British, or rather, part of "Anglo-Saxon civilization". They often cite their "Anglo-Saxon blood" as "proof" of their claims. Obviously America is historically linked to Britain in many ways, including language, culture (partially), ancestry (only partially), and political ideals (partially, because of British philosophers like John Locke that influenced the USA's foundation).

But anyway, the real question: is this connection that "WASP" Americans attempt to forge between themselves and Britain simply a one-way thing, or are these feelings of fraternity reciprocated in Britain? Brits, do you consider "WASP" Americans to be your brothers?

There should be a poll along with this thread.

EDIT: This poll was addressed to British citizens only! Non-Brits should not vote.

They are of British descent, but they have been a separate ethno-cultural group for some centuries now.

Is there even a single pure-bred colonial stock WASP left in the US?

Poll should have been public.

Poll should have been public.

Is there a way for a moderator to change it to public? I think this is an important issue that deserves some good discussion.

Unlikely, even though you will be flooded with responses saying otherwise.

Most people married in the same faith until recently, so you figure it out.

Ofcourse what a ridiculous question.

well in my case maybe but in reality no. 40% of my region is still WASP but not for long as birthrates for them are falling. It will be mostly Caribbean in afew decades.
