You can only truly be English genetically if your YDNA is Anglo-Saxon

You can only truly be English genetically if your YDNA is of collective Anglo-Saxon origin (Angles, Saxons and Jutes). Is this a fair statement?

I mean Y dna doesn't say much about someones autosomal picture. Someone could be 100% English but have a celtic branch of R1B, where as I'm sure there's plenty of African Americans with Anglo Saxon Y dna's through slavery.

but technically those African Americans cannot be Anglo-Saxon even though they have YDNA (I know this contradicts what I said). There was no English before Anglo-Saxons arrived

So no women can be English then

the mtDNA for most male invaders was H1, basically any YDNA that is not from Anglo-Saxons is not truly English, how can someone with a Roman YDNA lineage be called English?

Haplotardism at its worst.

In terms of autosomal DNA, Anglo-Saxons are extinct.

There is nobody alive today who is 100% Anglo-Saxon autosomally.

I doubt if there are many people who are over 50%, even.

No,
At least not imo , as I think a person can be autosomaly English, actually autosomal DNA is more relevant imo.

Interesting how Scandinavian like Anglo Saxon admixture peaks in eastern English from Kent/East Anglia yet these regions are the most ‘southern’ shifted in all of Britain?
Thoughts?
