Anglo-Saxonism has historically justified excluding non-white immigrant groups from American citizenship.
Evidence
Racial Anglo-Saxonism is seen in many other spaces not elaborated upon here.

- XREF: Shows the same exclusionary mechanism the reader traces in medieval Muslims now applied to modern immigrants — the manufacturing of the outsider is continuous.
- ADDENDUM: Extends the ‘Complaints About Immodesty’ and immigrant-exclusion themes into a specifically American Anglo-Saxonist frame.
