Fair enough. Don't have much if any experience with folks from outside of North America (getting taught new slurs by Slavs on CSGO aside) but I feel like the term Saxon would ironically be more applicable since the Saxons were instrumental in the formation of damned near every modern Germanic nation. Mostly because they were trader but they were spread out everywhere from Britain to Wallachia to at least one enclave in Uppsala in Sweden. Doesn't quite work well for the Nordic nations but it's probably the best term.
Like I said the term Anglo is just kinda weird since the continental Angles were more or less wiped out of assimilated before even Charlemagne was born. The Saxons on the other hand still arguably exist in both Germany, Britain, and in their expat cultures such as the Volga Germans or the Amero-Deutsch populations.
