To me this is very simple to reconcile. "White" is a racial grouping roughly corresponding to people with overwhelmingly or solely European ancestors. Then there are White subraces, IE Germanics, Nordics, Celts, Slavs, and Mediterraneans. Then there are specific ethnicities within those subraces, so for the Germanics it would be Germans, Belgians, certain Frenchmen, Dutch, English, Americans, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, Boers. True Americans are Germanic, they are White, and they are of European descent but are not Europeans.

I enjoy your writings though disagree with you in major areas, one of which is your idea of Americanism which in reality died about 1920 in this country. Most Americans of European ancestry are of mixed ancestry. Very few are derived from one ethnic source outside of certain geographic regions. There are few ‘pure’ Anglo-Saxons,’ in the United States let alone in Britain, Canada, or Australia.

I am largely with you here; I too have given long thought to the question and think that the matter of race is better pursued in your terms. In a sense I see the opposite problem where I am. America is a clan or type that remains viable and might be spun into something more remarkable yet. The peoples of Britain, to my mind, have lost what made them worth reckoning, and only by abandoning the old bonds can a new people redeem themselves from the winnowing; there are yet good men and good families alive here, but they are not the product of the old nations, only promising molecules cast adrift on their last tired waves which must be collected into something purposeful.
