Are you saying he would be viewed as an equal and not an inferior specimen?

Im not saying its right, but what im saying is that greeks are closer to Egypt than they are anything else.

These people dined out on racism.  Anglo-Saxon is not a racist term, it is the holy Roman empire embodied.

Thats not to say they were English solely.  They are the origin. Of white Britain and northern Europe.

I reject the premise of a United European vs everyone else mentality.

There is a reason Yugoslavia and the Slavs earn that name, and slavery didn't begin with black people

Phil must have been viewed as acceptable if George IV agreed that he could marry his daughter and heir to the throne.

Of course the Greeks are closer to Egypt, Egypt was part of the Greek empire and many of the pharaohs were Greek.  My Greek friends from Egypt call themselves “Greek Greeks”.

Anglo-Saxon has nothing to do with the Holy Roman Empire, although there is a connection between the HRE Hapsburgs and the British Royal family.  The term comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, a compilation of Old English “historical” accounts by clerics who wanted to promote the primacy of English folk from Angle and Saxon stock.  They believed that the original Britons were from Troy.

Anglo-Saxon, in the context that you are using it, is both racist and belies an ignorance of European history.

Slavery was a fundamental part of the Roman empire, and Greek society before that.  It’s estimated that Athens alone was home to 60,000–80,000 slaves during the fifth and fourth centuries BCE.  Aristotle said that slavery was natural and necessary.

The Norse economy was founded on providing Britons, Irish, Franks, Slavs and others for the middle eastern slave markets and, yes, Slav = slave.

In the 17th century, at least 7,000 Britons were enslaved by Moorish slavers in what are known as the Turkish abductions.  The Moorish slavers also raided as far away as Iceland.  Of course, that doesn’t excuse the industrial scale slavery of African folk perpetrated by Western European countries and from which the British Royal Family benefited.  It also doesn’t excuse the indentured labour of Melanesian Kanakas in Queensland.

You might reject the notion of Europe and the rest, but that’s not how many Asians, Africans, Melanesians, Polynesians, Arabs, Persians, Armenians, Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians see it. 

Like it or not, you’re lumped in with the white folk Thry. Your family wouldn’t have been allowed into Australia if you weren’t.
