On the contrary, there are still lots of Anglo-Saxons around, with
distinctive elements to their culture.

One of those odd elements is their attitude to sex and violence. They
think nothing of portraying horrific violence on movies and TV, yet
they get squeamish over the least little sexually-related thing --
witness the furore over the infamous Janet Jackson “wardrobe
malfunction” incident.

There are many non-Anglo-Saxon cultures who find this sort of thing
completely backward.
