Anglo-Celtic Australian Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Anglo-Celtic Australians are Australians of either
Celtic (Cornish, Irish Gael, Manx Gael, Scots Gael, Welsh) or
Anglo-Saxon (English) ancestry. As many people of Celtic ancestry find it offensive to be called Anglo-Saxons, the term is now the preferred one to describe Australian citizens whose ancestors emigrated from any part of the
British Isles. Until
World War II, Anglo-Celtics made up the overwhelming majority of the population, but sustained levels of migration from southern
Europe,
Southeast Asia and more recently the
Middle East have somewhat reduced this dominance; at the most recent national
census, 71% of respondents who reported a specific ancestry reported an Anglo-Celtic ancestry.
