The team, made up of American Indian, Anglo and Hispanic players

Does anyone else think it is stupid to use the term "Anglo" to describe all white people? Many white people have Celtic, Slavic, Latin, or Germanic roots, and little or no Anglo-Saxon ancestry. To me, using "Anglo" this way is like calling all indigenous Americans "Commanches," even if he is actually a Mayan, Incan, or Apache.
