I disagree. All countries are melting pots- including England, Ireland, etc. You’re correct- we aren’t majority Anglo-Saxon, but neither is England itself. We are of majority Anglo-Celtic heritage. Sometimes it shocks me how little people in the western, ‘new world’ know about our heritage. Too often people in the west talk about being mutts from a melting pot, as though our ancestors left behind nations of pure lineage. Every nation is a melting pot from various sources. Culture depends on what predominates. There’s a reason most of us don’t speak German or Danish & don’t feel a loyalty to France- because the nation wasn’t founded by them. It was founded by England & her family of nations. We speak her language, many of our founding fathers felt a loyalty to her & though we talk ad nauseum about our diversity- that culture is overwhelmingly our main heritage. That’s why the the U.S. & U.K. have the ‘special relationship’- because she’s the motherland :)
My post was purely satirical - a dig at that bloviating officer.
