Did you know the term "Anglo-American" is racist?


Feb 13, 2018, 2:03 PM

Me neither. But, apparently, if somebody you don't like says it, you can just decide that it is.

It's definitely a term used in racist contexts. It's a stretch to say Sessions was being racist here, though. His statement is factually correct.

But one side won't admit it's a term used by racists. The other side won't admit that he likely meant nothing by his use of it. Round and round we go.

Racists use "Anglo-American legal heritage"?


Feb 13, 2018, 2:33 PM

Obviously, I can see how somebody might use "Anglo-American" to mean "white [anglo] Americans." But it's a minority usage, and very clearly not how Sessions was using it here.

Generally, a suspicious attitude toward one race and preference toward another.

So the NCAAP is racist? That's bold.***

In the headline it says, "and an actress says he has to quit".

That should do it, he's a goner.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

If you google Sessions's name, it's the story that comes up. Will probably be forgotten by next week.
