Yes, I'm fairly certain that's how things played out but both words were common in the 19th century.
Thanks again for jumping in and saving my mentions, @AdmiralHip.

Yeah, both were used for nationalistic purposes, but afaik Celtic wasn’t used for the English although certainly in wider discussions of Britain it was but in ref to the “Celtic” speaking peoples.

The invasion narrative was a common one in the 19th c. as well. That sort of narrative about mystical celts and druids is very much an antiquarian thing.

So the “Anglo-Saxons” vs the “Celts” is a pretty old narrative.

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.

And yet, you failed to pick up on the salient points of the article which run contrary to your comments. If you have no interest in learning then that’s your problem but don’t just come in here with the same nonsense that
@ISASaxonists has been debunking.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I just asked what views exactly I'm supposed to have regurgitated? I happen to think the article overeggs it. And hey, I might be wrong, but It think it's worth questioning.

Every thing you said. Literally all of it. And you haven’t responded in good faith in any event. If you don’t agree, that’s your problem. But why you felt it was worth stating and then playing ignorant wrt your response and how it read is frustrating.

You might think your response here is novel but you are just another rando on the internet who thinks they know better than the people with the sources and evidence. There have been countless others like you with responses like this. I’d ask you to reflect but I doubt you will.

No you told me I'd regurgited the views the article had debunked, which I did not. You now tell me it's everything I said, which I did not. Your tone is now personal and patronizing. That's fine. But just to say I have not done what you say
