To my understanding, an Anglo is a perrson of British or partially English or British ancestry. As my mother used to say, there is good and bad in all kinds.

I understand that in areas bordering Mexico, those of Mexican ancestry refer to Caucasians of non-Spanish ancestry as Anglos but I regard that as a misuse of the term and far too broadly applied.

Serious question deserving a serious answer which I hope I have provided.

An "Anglo" is a native English language speaker ~ it has nothing to do with ancestry or color.

If your name is Romero or Cruz and your momma and poppa don't want you to learn Spanish, then you will grow up to be an Anglo.
