No. For one thing, Russia includes more than just Slavic peoples. For another, the majority of the USA is not anglo-saxon, and I'm not sure it ever was. There were many Germans, Dutch, French, etc. here from the beginning of the colonies. Actually, so were people from Africa, not to mention of course Native Americans, though most of them unfortunately were quickly murdered by smallpox originating in purposefully infested blankets. I'd look up the current breakdown of country of ancestral origin if my connection wasn't being so crappy. I'd guess "Anglo-Saxons" wouldn't even be a plurality, let alone a majority.deo said:
To a previous poster: who would think Van Der Something was Norweigan?
That's Dutch. I'm Norweigan, Swedish, German, French, Dutch, Welsh, and who knows what else, probably some Native American in there somewhere. My mother's family, the German and Dutch parts, have been in North America since the early 1600s, so I'm a mutt. Anyone who tries to define America by ethnicity is looking at a complete dead-end.
While the rulers of Egypt were Macedonian for quite a long time (Cleopatra's line), most of the citizens of the country, and most of its rulers, were not. But being the crossroads of the world as it was for so long, trying to pin it down to one specific ethnic group isn't really possible, imo. It's only in modern times that we've tried to do that anyway, people used to be much more cosmopolitan. It was Egypt, that's what mattered; being Egyptian was what mattered, not one's skin color.
