All very much on point. The idea of an Anglo-Saxon caucus in Congress is just … jaw dropping.

Not only is it shockingly racist, it’s all about cultural elitism as well.

I’m white, for example, but I don’t count as Anglo-Saxon. My ancestry is almost completely Irish. Italian Americans don’t count as Anglo-Saxon either, nor do Jewish Americans.

For many decades, Anglo-Saxon supremacy was an ideology used to keep some white Americans from enjoying the same privilege as other elite white Americans.

While this phenomenon was nowhere near as harmful and horrifying as racism, and while its effects largely died out after the election of John F Kennedy as president, the idea that people would openly espouse Anglo-Saxon elitism is absurd.

How have we gotten to this place where we’re bringing back toxic ideas? Frankly, I don’t suppose many of these jerks even realize what they mean when they talk about Anglo-Saxon supremacy. Many of them wouldn’t even be counted as Anglo-Saxons by the kinds of nationalists who promote that filth.

They’re just directing racism against Black people and Brown people any way they can.

But I’ll tell you what, to see it normalized, to see elected officials talking about it as if it were some ordinary philosophy … that shows you exactly how morally depraved much of our leadership is.
