MOBIUS,
If the French don't get their panties in a bunch about it then why must you?
If I were to make a hideously racist comment where no one else could hear it - would it make it any less racist?
NO!
Personally, I think anyone attacking the French here is a coward because they know no one will flame them for it...:rolleyes
More like calling the Welsh "English". It ain't true despite their Anglicization. The Normans were a seperate group of peoples to the French.

Most Americans never felt like Europeans, even thru history, even Americans of European decent. We've always been very different.
Sorry, but as far as I can tell most Americans are very proud of their roots...

The Normans were essentially Vikings who were allowed by the French to settle in Normandy. Normans = not French. Around 900 years later, Normandy could have been considered totally French. Any questions?

OK, as the overwhelming majority of people living in america during the war of independence were from Britain - we effectively lost a civil war and the war was won not by americans, but by breakaway british...
