Anti-China writers are not Anglo-Saxons

[Martian2]

There is an interesting comment on The National Interest. People like Gordon Chang and Peter Navarro (who is Mexican) are not Anglo-Saxons. Perhaps we should ignore these non-mainstream writers. They don't represent the viewpoint of majority-white America.

We have a group of "minority" writers that incessantly attack China in the hope of gaining acceptance by mainstream America. It's pathetic.

I had a good laugh when CNN fired Peter Navarro. The guy was incredibly annoying. He kept using the word "we." Peter represents the Mexican point of view. He doesn't represent the American point of view. His use of the words "we Americans" was irritating. His views were not those of mainstream America.

Wow, that's really a strong, original case. I agree that personal stories and interests are playing a huge role in anti-China fascist theorizing. Most of these people are in need of approval, hence they need to prove their worth and agility.

There is also truth in the statement that the low rate of violent (or even mild) rebuttal by the Chinese communities (Mainland China, Taiwan China and Hong Kong China as well as overseas China) allows these people to (figuratively speaking) bark with no fear of being persecuted. The same cannot be the case with other minority groups, because they will, in one way or another, make them pay their hatred back.

But, even if these people are not the typical Western whites, they still do function in the institutional settings and contexts of the White-dominated industries/organizations. In this case, these people can only be the pawns. We should also not forget that there is a sizable anti-China fascist rhetoric produced and disseminated by the Anglo-Saxons.

When coming to China topic, western elites totally forget their critical thinking skill and grab any opportunity to promote their overwhelmingly one-sided China-bashing view. The fact that this Mexican has a PHD tells you that either he is a fool for not able to apply pros and cons analysis, or he is driven by economic/CIA agenda. Apart from the reasons outlined above, I think most likely he has a cognitive dissonance problem, therefore He needs to demonize China to justify what he is doing which he knows not right.

Yankeeism is more an ideal rather than a race.
If you have a passport in the u.s and speak fluent English, you are considered american.
But if you need white Anglo Saxons hating on China.. You can find no shortage of them in the u.s.a. I live here, I know.
Even though I'm not an Anglo saxon.

Not sure why he has some particular fetish with Anglo-Saxons when they are a minority even in the "white" community. Maybe they are 25% tops. Even just Germans approach 20%.

Those haters you see are just as likely to be Germans.
(Yes, during WW2 it was German against German...including General Eisenhower)

You are very right with the second comment.. Sad also. But true.(but you got the percentage backwards Germans make up 25%, english people about 10-15% of the total u.s population)
I think however martin 2 meant anglo-saxon in a cultural perspective. Because few ethnic Germans have german culture, most adopted anglo-saxon/american culture as standard.
The thing about that is most of the non white u.s minority has also adopted anglo-saxon culture.

Well I guess you'll have to explain the definition of that.

I always pictured the plaid shirted farmer/wilderness lover with a rifle glued to his hand and a distrust of the government as the quintessential non-Anglo-Saxon.

That part may be Irish.. Judging from the IRA

Anglo-Saxons are the biggest haters of China.

They hate China because China doesn't do what the West tells China to do.

They can't control China or Russia like they can their puppets. This infuriates the Anglo-Saxon propagandists.

Definitely not. Only 4% of the Irish population own guns...30% of Germans do.

Still not sure what you mean by Anglo-Saxon culture...you mean cramped working 9-5 city life?

No one in the US identifies as "Anglo-Saxon". The distinctions OP is trying to draw are not distinctions most (nearly all) Americans would recognize or think of.

Disapproval of China centers on repressive tactics used by the government of China and for some people economic competition. There are also people that feel that China is stealing intellectual property as well - copying stuff without paying the inventors. Additionally, some people have concerns that trade with China is unfair - US products and services are not allowed the same access that Chinese products are in the American market.

Care to comment on what you think is supposedly the "Anglo-Saxon" culture that everybody is supposedly following.
I can't get a one bit out of our German colleague. Maybe we can ping some of the French members.

The Protestant work ethic you are referring to? That's usually in reference to Anglo Saxon and Northern European (sans catholic).
