Michelle Malkin..AngloPhile or AmericanPhile



About a year ago on c-span,I saw an interview, with Asian American Columnist Michelle Malkin. An caller angrily called her an AngloPhile.This word is more of an attractive academic term of slur, then say "uncle tom". The word is used to attack people of color who love there new adopted homes. This would include any minority who supports democracy, american military strength, and capitalism. And God forbid closing the borders. I found this definition of AngloPhile on wikpedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglophile. I think Michelle and many others would not fit into the category. I would however put Madonna and Tina Tuner and some other notable libs in. The ones who leave America for a day and began speaking with British or french accents. These are things which red America shudders at.
An anglophile is considered to be a non-English person who is extremely fond of all things English. American Anglophiles will often spell words with a British distinction, such as writing the word color as colour, or flavor as flavour.
The term is also used as a slur for people (especially in New England, New York, and elsewhere) who base their modes of business and/or political inclinations on a cultural sphere that is tied to its social equivalent in England. Although, this has been associated with anti-semitism, it is slightly more true to say that they are ethnocentrically inclined against anyone who is not English, German, or Dutch. The actual truth of it all, however, is they are simply more inclined to favor certain people for their surnames, family relations, and other ties (which are usually but not exclusively either English, German, or Dutch).
