I would like more Australians to be less judgmental and accept all Australians as worthy of respect. I am 5th generation Australian with British heritage. I have always thought of myself and family as Australian. Where did the term 'Anglo' come from? I find this disrespectful.I do not put labels on any of my community.

I am pleased that you like this term. and find it positive. Unfortunately some members of my family have had 'put downs' and criticisms due to our heritage. May it be a positive term in future,Good luck and best wishes.

I like being called Anglo Australian. It is to me recognition of my heritage and cultural background as well as my Australian birthplace. It thus allows me to acknowledge all aspects of my heritage and other peoples.
