If you took a poll on this site asking if white means broadly European or only specifically Anglo Saxon I doubt many would agree with you.

How about a Dutchman? The Netherlands is situated right between Saxonia and England. Are they white? Or I guess not even the Scottish/Irish/German mix which makes up 60% of American white people count for "white"?

It's absurd, if you live in America you are probably not Anglo or Saxon.

the dutch are a connected off branching of anglo saxon, plus i'm just being technical about the term and where it came from, it just bothers me that the entire game seems to be "mongrelize anglosaxons(EDIT: I'm not trying to pretend to be a scholar on the issue either, I think germanics are an older group of "whites" then anglo saxons and is probably a root ethnic group for whites at large, but not entirely sure, if it is the case I would naturally assume people of "german" ethnicity are white, german "nationality" however isn't a biology issue so that's where it gets wierd) and all other "white" people, and that definition isn't up to "white people" to decide who is in their group but apparently a group of tiny hat wearing people, in reality if you wanted to say nordics are white i would agree with you, as well as dutch people, in canada the vast majority of settlers were irish/scottish/dutch/french/english(british), with smaller numbers of other "nordic" groups. I would probably say most white canadians are considered "white" but arabs are not "white". Neither are hispanics, they have their own ethnic differences from whites in genetics and are numerous enough to be considered their own group. The idea that "white" is a term that does 3 things simultaneously is a paradox, they are

1: label a person by their physical skin colour 2: place them into a specific ethnic group 3: constantly allows redefining of the term "white" to include other ethnic groups that have their identifier outside of "white", constantly allowing for the creeping goalpost move. Irish and Scottish are their own groups for example, didn't used to be considered "white" but now are...at some point the "definition" has to be locked in, or else the identity itself loses meaning.

To be perfectly honest I really don't care who calls themselves "white" so long as they are not actively trying to subvert the efforts or birth rates of white people

and jews are obviously not white people, regardless of any other consideration, that's who is playing the whole renaming of groups of people to confuse normies game, and most jews who call themselves white only do so to deflect whatever "negative opinions" observers of their actions have towards "ethnically white people" and not "ethnically jewish people"
