To be honest, I don't appreciate what a lot of this says, for many reasons. Yes, he acknowledges the horrible history of A-S. But when I said that when white academics say we should ignore the bigots, that enables this behaviour. I was right.
On a different note, this blog post that I've seen floating around makes some points against people (possibly myself) for our reactions/behaviour during the ISXX stuff. https://howardwilliamsblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/05/anglo-saxon-attitudes/ …

The ignoring of white supremacy and racism in the field (and btw, maybe a lot of the academics weren't actual white supremacists but they were engaging in racist microaggressions and shit like that) is what enables it to fester. It's why it's a problem.
