Well, for what it's worth, I had some friends of various Carribean/Central
American backgrounds while I was in school in Miami who called all
non-black, non-Carribean/Central American, non-Asian people "Anglos." I
took to referring to them all as "Mexican" and they got the point and at
least stopped calling _me_ an Anglo. Of course, they'd still call my 2nd
generation Irish-American roomate an Anglo, which ****ed him off much more
than it had ever bothered me, and tended to prompt long speeches about the
Sassenach history of oppressing his people, etc...

Just my $0.02,
