An Anglo-Latino Working Class?
Reihan Salam, formerly Ross Douthat's partner on the late theamericanscene.com, takes off from the Democratic primary results and posits the existence (or emergence) of an Anglo-Latino working class. For nearly four decades, enlightened opinion has seen Latinos as "people of color," who will respond to American politics much as blacks have done. All recent experience (and my own The New Americans: How the Melting Pot Can Work Again) suggest this is not so.

I am not Anglo
Nor are most English speaking Americans. Referring to all English speakers as Anglo makes as much sense as me calling all Latinos "Spanish". Most don't trace their roots to Spain, just as I, a Celt, do not trace my roots to England. It's offensive. The word you're all attempting to use is "ANGLOPHONE". Would you call a Francophone Haitian "French"? Probably not.
