anglo

[Baker, John]

        I take "Anglo" to mean an English-speaking person of Northern European descent, without regard to religion.  I'm hazy on whether an Italian-American would be an Anglo.

it seems to me that the term 'Anglo' has acquired a meaning parallel to 'Hispanic'.   That is, Anglo refers to a native speaker of English in the same way people use Hispanic to refer to someone who is a native speaker of Spanish.  both regardless of national origin.  do y'all concur?
