That's hilarious and sad. But funny. I would argue they are'nt white, atleast not of the pansyoid/honkeyoid variety. They are much more stern-looking types. Like no one would ever call a native american a pansyoid, because they usually have stern and well-defined physical features. What were really talking about here is anglo-whites. Other europeans (southern europeans) are not really "white" they are darker featured usually. They are more aptly named mediteranean caucasoid for their features. But all this racial terminology is divisive and counter-productive to human unification and progress. Hitleresk, xenophobic, nationalistic, classifying has never gotten the human race anywhere. Collective interests are more powerful.

Collective interests are more powerful. The problem is assuming northern Europe makes up a fictional Anglo-Saxon community of its own, which is ridiculous. I remember that Facial Analyzer thing making Anglo-Saxon synonymous with Northern European. If I were German, I would frankly be offended. It's even wrong to consider Britain Anglo-Saxon country when the Anglos are in fact relative newcomers to those isles.

Pansies in Australia is a euphenism for a male homosexual. So if you refer to an Australian man as a pansyoid expect to walk around with his fist impressed permanently into your face, and a hefty dentist bill. Listen my American friends, I don't care what is White in America or Black or Hispanic. All you are doing is making foreigners think all Americans are a bunch of racists and morons. It is no wonder that the Stirpes crowd are so hostile to Americans, and even to the Brits, who they associate with Americans.

I'm not prejudice against anyone. Even if the color of their skin is white or wrong.

mmmkay must endeavour to correct his or her spelling - it's atrocious. 'Philosophisers' would do well to study their grade 8 English textbook before inventing worlds such as 'honkeyoid' or 'pansyoid.' By the way, it's Hitler'esque'. Interesting that you use racial and homosexual slurs to describe Whites esp. Northern Europeans, considering that the foundations of liberal democracy are generally derived from Teutonic origins e.g. innocent before proven guilty, constitutional monarchy, 'free' men, etc. Teutonic democracy was of the basic and primitive type found also amongst the early Western Slavs, and survived and evolved in England - far more stable than Germania or Francia. Note however, that democracy remains core to not only Poland (Slavic-derived) but to present-day Germany, France, and of course, the United Kingdom.
Essentially, mmmkay, Northern Europeans whether intentionally or not, conceived of your right and ability to talk of of your ass. Elsewhere, even in the ancient Mediterranean, individual freedoms were not seen as so paramount.

Also, keep in mind that the NW Europeans aren't all pink skinned either. The whole concept of identifying race-subrace by color is stupid. There will always be English that are darker than Lebanese and Spaniards that are lighter than Irish.

I had no idea this was a spelling bee: Seriously who cares? Anyways, whether or not they are real words, everyone know what they mean and thats all thats important. Languages change and adapt everyday, you'd actually be surprised how many words in english are borrowed from west african languages (guess where "ok" comes from). Lol they put homers "dou!" in the dictionary, wake up dude, people make up sh!t everyday. Join the revolution. ;D auctoritas English correction service : content: "hitleresk": modified: "hitler'esque". Lol I could just as easily say africans invented constitutional monarchies lol. England, by extension owes its current government to sub-saharan africans? See your faulty logic? You can't "invent" democracy. How do do you "invent" democracy"? It's just an idea that became formulated in action in its earliests forms in the culture you are refering to, but its not like without them it would have never been "invented"

You would be offended if you were German if you were called a type of German?

Yep. Not all Northern Europeans are Anglo-Saxon. Anglo-Saxon is not a meta-ethnicity. Hell, most British people aren't even primarily descended of Anglo-Saxons.
The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes were just a band of a branch of Low Germanic people. Their true legacy is the English language. The racial type Anglo-Saxon (a combination of Hallstatt and Brunn) named after them isn't representative of Northern Europe, either.
So, I think it's silly to turn it into a racial or ethnic label meaning "Northern European" when they should just say "Northern European." They might as well just come out and say "English" if they're going to say Anglo-Saxon.

Also the term Teutonic was used for anyone with so-called Northern European phenotype(Blondism)aswel as anglo-Saxon. Terms like Nordic,Germanic,Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon have been used interchangeably since anthropology first started and of course by Politicians and nationalist (which modern anthropology first derived outve all of them ).
Even the Language,term and theory of "Indo-European first started as indo-Germanic,but then they found that could never work and wasnt the case at all,and quickly called it Indo-European afterwoods.
