Why does it seem like Australia is more British influenced

Because it's a totally british colony, perhaps

>>77278281
Because America is more influenced by Africa and Mexico these days.

Because we have nothing to do with you and disavowed responsibility well over two and a half centuries ago

>>77278281
The US is barely Anglo. We've always been more influenced by Germany, Italy and Ireland. Some influence from Spain and France

>>77278281
Maybe because one of those countries revolted against England and the other has a fucking cuckstamp.

>>77278367

>>77278367
Yeah I don't get when people say the US is Anglo.

Aside from the English language, we aren't some liberal pieces of shit who allow non-whites to take over our country

>>77278281
Because Australia, like us, was colony that kept its British control for much longer and eventually broke away to independence in a peaceful manner and remains closely tied to the UK?

Obviously a country which rebelled and fought the British for independence would be a lot less British itself afterwards.

The rise of non-whites in America and the belief among modern Americans that things like pop music, rap and McDonald's is culture tells its own story. Actual culture is what makes up the very fabric of a country, things like law, education and social values and in that regard the USA historically is very much English and still is, just about. In fact you should count yourself lucky because if it weren't the USA would be a third world shithole like most of South America.

Are you retarded OP?

I am seriously asking this, are you in fact mentally disabled?

>>77279425

>when you dock the cruft (because "white" is insane in the US census) it's below 50

Our Spanish descendants still speak the language and are heavily steeped into Spanish culture

And unlike Canada and Australia, the US had massive European immigration, where most people kept their cultures and traditions.

There's a huge culture shock whenever Canadians and Australians visit the US. We're nothing alike. I went to Quebec once and felt so out of place

>>77279903
Culture isn't just things you approve of. Culture is also speech patterns, music, art, and social behavior, and in this respect the UK is completely and totally Americanized. McDonald's is culture in that it is American food prepared in an American fashion which millions upon millions upon millions of British people purchase day after day after day. Rap music and rock music are American musics which British teenagers prefer to listen to rather than that of their own country. British people don't give a flying shit about religion and law, they care about Kanye West and Game of Thrones

You are an American, you just don't realize it yet

You massively overstate the influence of American culture. Yet even if what you say is true, American influence on the world is NOTHING compared to the fact that your entire country is English down to its very foundations. You can slap burgers and rock music and nigger rap over the top of it, but you are English down to the very core. You can never get away from it. I might be slightly American once a week when I go into Burger King for 30 minutes. You are English every second of your life.

The top selling band of all time is British, the top grossing film franchise is British, the 2 top grossing films Canadian, the best selling novel series is British, 7 out of the top 10 best selling novels are British, (2 of the remaining 3 are American but set entirely in Europe), all of the sports played in the commonwealth and America are native to Canada, Canadians, or Britain, (except Aussie rules football).

Americans are so immersed in Anglo-Saxon culture that they don't even notice it but to an outside observer it's really apparent. Legal system/language/economic model/social institutions/etc. pick anything of relevance.

It's true that the US USED to have a strong German influence, 'USED to' is the important part.

The large numbers of German-speaking towns, schools, newspapers communities, associations and perishes were all shut down. German was virtually banished from public life and the people were assimilated into mainstream Anglophone culture.

This is whitewashing of history.

The Federal Government frequently used oppressive means to assimilate large immigrant groups, especially in case of the Japanese and the German Americans. There are even documented public lynchings.

Stepping in and forcibly shutting down newspapers and schools does not in any way constitute 'voluntary'. Forced assimilation was a real thing. The school ban for example only got reversed after a surpreme decision in the 1950s or something.

>>77280879
Bullcrap. Most of this was done by local communities, the Federal government pre-WWII was tiny and had very little power and reach.

>>77280940

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American republic. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

>>77281150
Yes but it's wrong to imply that the entire German culture and identity in America was essentially wiped out simply by a few years of anti-German policies and sentiment during WW1. It's natural for immigrants to assimilate over time and you can't just make a culture or identity "disappear" within a few years, it has to happen gradually.

Why didn't meat pies take off in America like they did in the UK/AUSNZ? You'd think Americans wouldn't miss a chance to get meat and pastry down their holes in one snack.

>>77281121
You threw out your original Articles of Confederation and replaced them with a Constitution in the late 18th century. Specifically because you needed a stronger feferal government. Which continued to grow in power and influence until a few states got fed up with all the federal power and started a civil war for 4 years. After which as part of reconstruction and entering the 20th century your government continued to grow in power. The New Deal made the federal government the official power for all private banking and the largest US employer.

After the War of 1812, there was a push to establish a distinctly American identity and move away from British cultural influences. Webster's Dictionary was significant in codifying American English as distinct from British English.

>>77281076
One-half million children were attending school with a curriculum partly or all in German, as counted by the German American Teachers Association still in 1900.

This is a huge number. This is not the number of pupils having German in school but those learning the normal school curriculum in German.

None of the Anglosphere "looks" very different. Wgat you see is all surface culture, accents, clothes, etc.
Can, Aus, UK, NZ, and US are all very similiar. You notice the differences when you start to look deeper.

Forced state-sponsored assimilation happened in the US. This is a fact and I don't care whether you are some raging nationalist or liberal fag who believes in a multicultural utopia.

Canada has a parliamentary government unlike us, otherwise they're more like Americans in several ways (for example their cars and sports). Canadian English uses British spelling, although the vernacular is mostly American.

Australia plays British sports, the language is closer to British English with lots of unique vernacular/slang, and spelling can be either British or American (colour vs color, realise vs realize, etc). Their cars are more like British makes.

There were never a lot of English immigrants and almost all of them came here in colonial times. Scottish and Irish immigration was far more common, and Germans have also been here since the colonial era. Most Americans of English extraction are old WASP families from the Northeast.

I'm not disagreeing here. I'm just saying it used a bit different before the wars when there used to be a significant minority that had their own parallel, social institutions set-up, much like the French Canadians in Canada.

>>77282398
You're right, I should have said British Islanders and not specifically Anglos.

Do people in other English speaking countries know what they sound like to the rest of the world? Because your accents are wild

>>77282444
Fair enough then m8, I guess I can agree

I notice in the USA - people are much more aware of their Irish heritage than they are in other Commonwealth countries where they're seen more as Catholic Anglo people

Why is that?

>>77282311
Much of the US was founded on French enlightenment ideas. Just take the separation of church and state for example.

Jefferson used to say that the American and the French revolution were one and the same.

>>77282540
Because Americans enormously overestimate how "Irish" they are.

>>77282398
Southern whites are primarily of Irish and Scottish ancestry, it was said that the Confederate battle yell was descended from Scotch Highlander hunting calls.

America is only 25% ethnically Anglo

>>77282540
Well Australians used to pretty much consider themselves as British until the First World War, so the idea of being "Anglo" is more important to us than Americans I guess.

You misread my post. I said the population of Canada was mostly Quebecois prior to the American Revolution, there wasn't a significant Anglo population until the flood of Loyalists into what's now Ontario.

>>77282892
Ah yes, the great Spanish city of La Nouvelle-Orléansfounded byfamous Spanish explorer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville

>>77282929
New York City of course has that group of old Dutch families as well, which included the Roosevelts, a rudiment of the city's beginnings as a fur trading post for the Netherlands.

It's like you don't even know history

>>77282987
Nope, upper Canada (Ontario) and the Maritimes were all full of Anglos.

Louisiana Creoles were a distinct subculture that mostly spoke French and practiced Catholicism, making them distinct from the surrounding WASP population. They were a bit less puritan than the Protestant whites, gambling was not seen as a sin and it was acceptable for married men to take black mistresses. Creole culture declined after the Civil War.

>>77283104
I'm aware of Spanish Louisiana, I was making a joke

>>77283134
I think his meaning is that the population of those regions was significantly lower than the population of Quebec, so when the loyalists came it shifted what is today Canada from being majority French speaking to majority English speaking as a whole.

There were Jewish communities in the South as well, particularly in Charleston and Richmond.

yes, like when your representative made a joke when signing the document of Japan's surrender

This was one of the Insufferable Acts that led to your Revolution

The South in general didn't attract a lot of immigration since European immigrants were often appalled with slavery and also few of them knew how to farm cotton.

>>77282987
After Britain's acquisition of Quebec in 1763, Parliament pondered what to do with the alien population and after several years of debate, the Quebec Act was passed, which granted toleration to the Quebecois and the Catholic faith (it should be noted that Catholicism was illegal in England itself and would remain so until 1828). It was if nothing else a very enlightened bill for the time, but it did not go over well with American colonists who began fearing incursions by dirty Papists.

The German was saying New Orleans was influenced by the French

To which someone said that is was Spanish

To which I pointed out it was very much French

Try to follow along

>>77282398
German immigration came in a few waves, the first ones here were Amish/Mennonites in colonial times, then more Germans immigrated after the revolutions in 1848. They were mostly middle class political refugees and worked in skilled labor, ran small businesses, or farmed. Most settled in the Upper Midwest, some in Texas, and they also introduced beer drinking to the US.

Trump is president, right?

I don't see where you figured there was a break in the chain?

and actually, no, the poster decried french influence, to which new orleans was prompted, however it was a Spanish possession when America came into full being, and was not an example of french influence in America's culture, form, and soul.

there was no claim that new orleans was not influenced by france

honestly, you're dumb m8

For comparison, Irish were absolutely dirt-ass poor. The potato famine caused a vast horde of them to descend on the US (some also went to Canada and Australia) and they were grunt labor who did all the dirtiest jobs, although Irish-Americans could be found in all socioeconomic brackets from millionaires to ditch diggers. They were organized and became politically active in a hurry; Irish came to dominate the political machines of big cities.

The war was not winnable at all for Britain for a variety of factors.

How come soccer isn't popular in the ex-British colonies but is in the UK?

>>77284251

maybe it's just so popular in the UK because of the competition all around them. I actually don't know it it was already so loved when they still got the colonies.

>>77284251
Australians generally like contact sports like rugby over soccer, also the British colonial authorities promoted rugby as a sport in the colonies. Soccer thus never got established there.

As for Canada, hockey is #1 and so thoroughly ingrained in the national culture that it would be almost impossible for any other sport to come close to it there.

Don't worry, the amount of non-whites pouring in here is already putting the future of the sport in jeopardy.

It may have something to do with Australians not wanting to be like Americans. Big, loud and obnoxious. They're fun to watch but nobody wants to be them.

that's funny, my impression of austrailians is that you're loud and obnoxious

Because only 4% of the white American population is of English descent.

>>77278281
USA is older and has mixed origins.

>>77279380
this, it's more like 20%. Americans have a broad definition of "white" and most are heavily mixed. That's not to say it's a bad thing but it's fucking ridiculous to parade "whiteness" and other nonsense if you're literally, resoundingly nonwhite.

>>77287216
only 4% of the white American population is white

>>77287216
if we lived in a world where you're only able to be descended from one nationality, maybe
