MessengerX said:There is no such thing as an Anglo-Saxon race. You said so yourself that:
"My family claims I have 'Norman' blood in me which I absolutely refuse to accept. NO way do I have froggy blood in me."
Yet by the logic I have seen, a person of English nationality could have 'Norman' blood in him and still be considered Anglo-Saxon. But of course, he would be of the same 'race' as you. :roll:
I don't think you know much about the way people are classified.
While ethnicity and race are related concepts (Abizadeh 2001), the concept of ethnicity is rooted in the idea of social groups, marked especially by shared nationality, tribal affiliation, religious faith, shared language, or cultural and traditional origins and backgrounds, whereas race is rooted in the idea of a biological classification of Homo sapiens according to chosen genotypic and/or phenotypic traits.

This modern-day perception also emphasizes that race does not exist as white or black but only what humans of varying races, ethnicities, nationalities, etc have in common. It is also quick to point out and inflate that differences in genes occur most frequently in the same of the aforementioned groupings.
Wikipedia is a very leftist source, dude. Ethnicity is the best word to describe what you are talking about.
