All these words have been used for nationalist purposes (this isn't always negative, presumably), but they are valid words with a long history. At minimum they can refer to linguistic groupings. (Norse myth is used by racists, but in itself is not particularly racist.)

I just think we should continue to interrogate and attack racist uses of these things, these words, not in every case the words themselves. We can know what "Anglo-Saxon" means without racism. It was used in the period itself.

Your tweet only serves to prove you didn’t read the article. I suggest you do, before you engage on the topic.
