    “South Africa's AngloGold Ashanti.”

    “AngloGold Ashanti... does not operate there directly.”

    “Other companies named in the ruling include local Exploraciones Choco Colombia, Gongora and El Molino.”

    Those names don't sound very English.

    English is not Anglo.

    English is a country. Anglo is a race. English fall within the Anglo ethnicity.

    Just like Spanish is a country, but Hispanic a race.

    And as I have ALWAYS said, South Africans are ANGLO, and the name makes it clear they see it so too. Mandela was Anglo, any South African is Anglo. As is Bono from U2, Andy Murray, Queen Elizabeth, Barack Obama, Usain Bolt, Ghandi, and someone born in Guyana, or any territory where the language is English as Canada, Australia, Zimbabwe, or Gibraltar/Falklands. All of them are Anglos.

    It is how it is defined in Argentina: Anglos, Whites, Bolivians / Latin Americans, Blacks, Japanese / Asian.

    Anglo isn't a race.

    It's an ethnic construct. Just like Hispanic is an ethnic construct.

    Nostrils you've tried this before and lost the argument. And you will lose it again.

    As per usual you try to sound like you know what you at talking about but come up short.
