Most important civilization in Ireland are the Celts.

Most important civilization in Mexico were the Aztecs.

Ireland and Scotland were divided by a wall from the Roman Empire.

Mexico can't be divided by a wall, But Mr. Bush pretended to make believe to the public opinion that he is building a wall to divide Anglo-Mexico fron Hispanic-Mexico.

well.

Anglo is a linguistic term that refers to English speaking people, like the Irish or the Newyorkers.

Hispanic is a linguistic term that refers to Spanish speaking people, like Mexicans ot like Tejanos.

Celts were in UK, and Spain mainly.

Aztecs were in Mexico the most powerful civilization in times of the invasion( I mean conquest ).

Celts in Spain speak Spanish, so they are Hispanics.

Aztecs in USA speak English, so they are Anglos.

Are U an Anglo or an Hispanic American ?

  1. - "Any analogies with Mexico(Hispanic), and Ireland-Scotland (Anglo) countries?"

    Ireland and Scotland are not Anglo countries! Where do you get this from? They are Celtic countries. Anglo relates to England. Do not get them confused. The Celts were inhabitants long before the Anglos.

    - They aren't even bordered, so how can they be divided by a wall? Hadrian's Wall was built below the current Scottish border to keep the Pict tribes out (inhabitants of old Scotland). There's another Roman wall built in central Scotland called Antonine Wall. I'm unsure of any Roman walls built in Ireland.

    "Anglo is a linguistic term that refers to English speaking people, like the Irish or the Newyorkers."

    Anglo should never refer to Irish (or Scottish). That will cause offence! Anglo comes from the name Anglia, a word that means England. You've went from saying Celtic at the start to then Anglo at the end. If they are Irish then use Irish or Celtic and not Anglo!


  2. Anglo is slang that means white person as it is used.  If that weren't true than all Mexicans that spoke English would also be Anglos.  It has the same meaning as Gringo and why someone who calls me either will not get a pleasant response.

  3. I'm an Anglo, my son is Tejano. But I'm smart enough to know that illegal Mexican labor is being used to depress the wages of Americans, be they Hispanic, Black or Anglo.  Real Tejanos speak English, Mexicans speak Spanish. I think Mexico should take care of her own people & stop exporting the poor native American (Aztec, Mayan et al)  population.
