The magazine is using the term ‘anglo-saxonne’ on their IG, and AOC doesn’t know if it’s deliberate, tongue-in-cheek or ignorant.

Specifically, it reads: “Deuxième partie de notre série mode, qui met à l’honneur le sport au grand air, à la sauce anglo-saxonne.⁣”

The term Anglo-Saxon heritage has a strong association with European white pureness and is rarely used today. That’s a vote for ‘clueless’.

Palmer grew up in Birmingham, England, where Prime Minister Winston Churchill said in 1943: “Why be apologetic about Anglo-Saxon superiority, that we were superior, that we had the common heritage which had been worked out over the centuries in England and had been perfected by our constitution?”

Whoa! We never heard this comment before. As usual, AOC plunges into the deep waters of meaning, educating ourselves with this article from Smithsonian Magazine: The Many Myths of the Term ‘Anglo-Saxon’

Celebrating Anglo-Saxons in America

Disgraced US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene launched the ‘America First’ caucus in April 2021. Rep. Paul A. Gosar [R-Ariz] was involved, along with Rep. Matt Gaetz [R-Fla.] and Rep. Barry Moore [R-Ala.] who disputed that he had signed on as an early member.

According to the seven-page document, the group says it seeks to advance Trump’s legacy, which means stepping “on some toes” and sacrificing “sacred cows for the good of the American nation.” The document also describes the United States as a place with “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”

Right on. Our “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” denied all women and people of color the right to vote.” I — for one — am not proud of those traditions and put them in a historical reality that no longer exists.

I have zero pride in an America where only white men landowners ruled, but I’m very proud of the totality of the American experiment and what we SAY we stand for as a country. It’s this vision that has always motivated me.

However, I’ve argued since 2008, that America is headed back to this place. I better get cracking. If the French are sending a SOS in a fashion story, it’s time to rally, people. ~ Anne
