I have no particular emotion toward the Saxons. This probably stems from the fact that I know next to nothing about them.

In any event, if my screen name had come from the Saxon tribe, what difference would that make? Would it make me a racist? Would it be offensive?

Racist? Offensive? I honestly don't know how it would be. The Saxons were merely a tribe in northern Germany that began invading Great Britain shortly after the Romans pulled out. Modern English derives from Saxon dialects, and pretty much everyone in England (meaning everyone in the U.S. with English heritage) has Saxon blood.
And anyway, my question was merely a lame attempt to be funny. I was just contributing to the thread derailment and general confusion.
