"geographically, the densest nodes of the Anglosphere are found in the United States and the United Kingdom, while Anglophone regions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa are powerful and populous outliers. The educated English-speaking populations of the Caribbean, Oceania, Africa and India pertain to the Anglosphere to various degrees.[3] Bennett says the concept is not "racialist" and that "Anglospherism is based on the intellectual understanding of the roots of both successful market economies and constitutional democracies in strong civil society."
The idea that is not "racialist" is negated by the conclusion of Ireland as being more closer to the Anglosphere than non-white nations like Jamaica or Singapore. Those nations were founded and based on British culture, while Ireland was its own, seperate culture that now speaks English and just happens to be white. --173.59.59.164 (talk) 17:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
