Anglos probably have the worst taste in Europe. Everything about them is awkward, forced, self-conscious, "efficient." And the way they approach art is no different. Everything is balanced, everything is restrained, nothing is "too much." England is Protestantism exemplified. No where in the West is every aspect of life held to be so reprehensible, so in need for restraining and drying, so unruly that mankind's supposed great force of efficiency ought to keep desire and excess in order. They may be the most unmusical race in existence. And likewise some of the worst philosophical ideas have been birthed from this excess-chastisement: the utilitarians, Hume, Locke, and Hobbes. The only thing England has is literature, but Shakespeare, with the exception of Lear, Hamlet, and Macbeth, is a child's toy when compared to Dante.

Not as mean as those poor Indians, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Native Americans, the Africans, Polynesians, et al. Everyone, of course, except the Jews.
All of those were probably necessary exterminations, but let's not get into who is mean and who is nice :~)

That might just be my taste. It's easily confused.
