Talk:Anglo-Celtic Australians

message: Since when have the two terms ever been mixed, Celtic sentiments have always geared towards less colonial Anglo-Saxon kinda thing, this article is inaccurate, strongly.
Not really, it's only inaccurate in the political sense.
Most people, myself included, are anglo-celtic simply because we all realise that we are one ethnic group. My family for instance originated in Kent, England, but lived in 3 groups, England, Wales-853yrs, and Munster, Ireland 642yrs.
It had been commonly accepted that we were Saxon in origin, but DNA testing 12 years ago actually showed we are Celtic.
To prove the point, the researches opened 4 tombs dating back to AD1482 to test previous males, and found we are celtic family, DNA wise, of south England celtics.
A similar thing was done with another family, the Hardings. They where found to be anglised celtics as well. As opposed to the perception that they were an angle family.
DNA testing in 5 groupings has actually showen that Saxon DNA is very small in the British iles DNA make up, though Angles make up a larger position. Also possibly because of the viking era.
The largest DNA grouping of England is actually Celtic. So proves the original research that was shunned in favour of individual idenities of Anglo-Saxon-ness. Which historical research has proven to be a misnomer.
Of note on the website Anglo-celtic, Dutch and Germans are most certainly not included in the concept of Anglo-celtic. They are called Saxons. Righly or Wrongly.
To be an anglo-celtic, your family must have originated from the british Iles on your patriarchial line.

message: i'm going to change this paragraph:
"Unlike the American term Scots-Irish, "Anglo-Celtic Australian" does not carry any specific religious connotations. Sectarian divisions played much less of a role in Australia than the USA, perhaps due to the convict, as opposed to pilgrim roots of early settlement. An "Anglo-Celtic Australian" is equally likely to be Catholic, Protestant or Atheist."
While the first and last sentences are correct, the middle part plays down alot of important history without a source. Sectarian divisions were EXTREMELY important in Australian history, as many of the convicts were Irish. Many of these were convicted for rebelling against the English. There is no source for the article. Instead I've changed it to:
"Unlike the American term Scots-Irish, "Anglo-Celtic Australian" does not carry any specific religious connotations. An "Anglo-Celtic Australian" is equally likely to be Catholic, Protestant or Atheist." This is because the term "is of recent coinage and only started to have meaning after the sectarian conflicts between Irish Catholics and British Protestants lost salience - perhaps partly in the face of large scale non-British immigration, which produced another outgroup of “New Australians”."
With a source for the quote. IMO the "Anglo-Saxon" page should be deleted.

message: I am aware of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, but I could swear the use of "skip" as a term for Anglo-Celtic Australians originated with Skip the cook on Acropolis Now.  Am I completely wrong? Thor Rudebeck (talk) 22:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does this article reference Saxony in Germany? The Saxon in Anglo Saxon doesn't mean the modern German regions which include that name. Ozdaren (talk) 14:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Not all white Australians are British-Irish. I also fail to see why when we look up in other countries is says white American, white British etc, but for Australia its always Aglo celtic or European Australians. Australians have as much right not to think of themselves as British as the Americans do  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.224.3.243 (talk) 20:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

message: "Anglo Australian" redirects to this article, but "Anglo-Australians" redirects to English Australians. Do we even need both articles? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I do realise that,  - but the problem with the redirects remains, and as the English Australians article is not extensive, it could perhaps be accommodated as a section of the other. Either way, the redirects problem needs fixing. Another solution would be to create a DAB for Anglo(-)Australian(s). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that Anglo Australian should redirect and Anglo-Australians should probably both redirect to this article as 'Anglo' is often used as a shorthand for 'Anglo-Celtic' - that is, British Isles origin. I would not be in favour or merging the English Australians article into this article as it relates to a distinct subject. That would be akin to deleting the article for Chinese Australians and merging it into Asian Australians. I have it on my list to expand the English Australians article so that it will become more extensive.--StormcrowMithrandir 23:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  - okay, fine with me. It might be an idea to to add the other related (subtopic) articles to the lead, rather than just as See alsos, something like "The term includes English Australians, Cornish Australians...[etc.]"? (To nitpick - Asian peoples and cultures are somewhat more diverse than those of the British Isles, but I get your point, and know that there are some fierce nationalists in each group!)
