"Amerimutts" are not Mutts, unless they are Mixed race

[Westbrook]

NW European Phenotype:

MFW that female average white American looks just like a friend of the family that I've had a crush on since I was a teenager

[Westbrook]

I am an Euromutt living in Europe, should I be deported to America now?

Irish are not WASPs and neither are Germans. You can't always go by names alone though as there anglo-Irish (English ) protestants and Scots from Ireland. The real Irish are Catholic and so are some Germans. For instance, Edmund Burke (Irish last name) was a anglo-Irish British Philosopher whose last name was not Lumley or Smith.

WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS

Yes, Germans are definitely wasps because they are Saxons . Irish can have Anglo in them. Wasp really means NW European.

[Richmondbread]

You are a mutt if you're of mixed ancestry.

That would be everyone then. Everyone has mixed ancestry if you back far enough.

WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS

Yes, Germans are definitely wasps because they are Saxons . Irish can have Anglo in them. Wasp really means NW European.

Anglo Saxon refers to England, not the area of Saxony in Germany.

No, WASP= British.

[Richmondbread]

No, WASP= British.

But Brits were influenced by Normandy (French) and Germans (Saxons). WASP really means NW European. It excludes the Greeks and the I-talians pretty much.

It's a anglo-saxon term, i don't use it...

But :

if you put aside a part of Bretons who have the most "british-like" contribution (I say "a part", because it is a gradient: the more you go to the east of Brittany, the more people have an increasing "French-like" contribution) and perhaps some Normans from the coast (it is debatable, in terms of number), no... a French is not the same as an Irishman, an Englishman, etc.

Regarding the "Italians": in America, you have mainly "southern Italians" (especially Sicilians; "Italian" in USA means "Sicilian" especially, it's a synonym), people who have a "Anatolian neolithic", but a more "Neolithic Levant shifted" ( that is to say a type of population "'Anatolian of the Neolithic" which is closer to the Levantines of the Neolithic; it is a contribution which one finds among many Greeks, all the Ashkenazi, Sephardic and others), that is to say a contribution which is not the same as that obtained from Piedmontese, Basques, French, English, etc. They also have other contributions, including Iran farmer, "Kura-araxes" (kind of Caucasus-like), etc.

All this means that we can discuss the term "hybrid" and "interbreeding" for them.

For the rest, yeah they are pretty close (irish are very, very close to english).

WASP is a term non-'WASP's in the US use for founding stock Americans, who were predominantly British/English and Protestant.

It isn't used outside the US.

Anglo Saxon refers to England, not the area of Saxony in Germany.

But the Anglo-Saxons came to England from the Germanic areas of continental Europe.
