Anglo Culture = Superior Culture?

If you could only listen to Anglo American music or African American music for the rest of your life what would you pick? If you had the choice between spending the rest of your life in Florence or London which would you pick?
As a kid, a friend and I in Palm Springs would switch off on News Years between the Jewish country club's New Years Eve party (Tamarisk) and the WASP country club New Years Eve Party (Thunderbird). Take a wild guess at which one was more fun.
Anglo society is always very stratified based on blood and ancestry (in both England and New England and in the South). What is more unAmerican than that? Anglo culture tries to base everthing on ancestry and not merit. America has been successful because our political philosophy has to a great extent overcome that heinous tradition. If our founding fathers had followed their culture instead of their enlightened political philosophy you would need to prove your heritage before you could run for the Senate.
The USA is more successful than most other countrys because we have more of a meritocracy than most countrys. However, our Anglo culture has been fighting the whole idea of meritocracy from day one. That is why I believe that America is great because we have overcome a great many of our anglo traditions instead of embracing them.
Buchanan simply has it wrong. Our political philosophy derived from the enlightenment is what made us great, not our Anglo culture.

When trying to understand a bigot, it is best not to analyze too deeply. Buchanan would probably call me "Anglo," despite my pure Italian blood. I've been referred to as such in the past.
That said, I otherwise agree with you. What makes America great is the devotion to meritocracy. We all learn in grade school that "anyone can be President" -- and we are inculcated with the knowledge that the person who ultimately is president will be he or she who is smartest and works the hardest, and that race, religion, sex, patronage, family connections, and inherited wealth will not be factors. |

What's America Without Greed And Glamour?

Assuming I'm correct, I see some wisdom to Buchanan's view. Which is, in and of itself, quite scary.
(Arguably posted on the wrong board, but hey.)

Shaved pussies - truly a uniter, not a divider.

Down in Southern California, the rough categorization shows that Anglo appears to include anyone who isn't Latino. So yes, Sidd, you're now an Anglo, though we know you're-a one spic-y meatball!

Jews like the fact of rules mostly. It helps them with developing thier guilt.
