Dudes claiming they are "old stock" or "heritage" Americans. They'll even call other white people who's ancestors weren't here before the Civil War "ellis islanders" and invaders.

As someone who's ancestry has partially been here since the 1690s.. it's a crock of shit and silly as fuck.

    I also love the use of æ but then th instead of ð/þ. I don't know the word they're going for to know which letter is correct, but I figure it's meant to be Old English as that's a popular choice for Anglocentric white supremacists who don't understand either history or linguistics.

      It's stupid but that's how saxon names are written now, for reference Æthelred II (Old English: Æþelræd,[n 1] pronounced [ˈæðelræːd]; Old Norse: Aðalráðr) or Æthelwulf (Old English: [ˈæðelwuɫf])
