I don't give ground to white supremacists. Period. Partially because no matter what new word we pick, they'll try to poison that one too and laugh as we struggle to find a new word again. I mean, the dickbags are even making the ok sign racist. You can't give ground to them.

Axel Folio, PhD, BFF of Mr. Bloodaxe @ISASaxonistsInteresting that John Hines continues to advocate for use of a term that is not only historically inaccurate but has been rooted in racist colonialism/imperialism for 100s of years.

Wait are we talking about modern use of the word? Because I'm talking about 6th century. And if I'm not allowed to call the broad culture of the Germanic communities on the east coast of England in the 6th century "Anglo Saxon" what am I supposed to call it?

Go ahead and give an example of a 6th century use of the term Anglo-Saxon

[Points to Bede in the 7th century] But beyond that, go ahead and give me an example of how woke scolding people for using a common term (without providing a replacement) helps a movement and fights white supremacy.

That means "Angles or Saxons" not "Anglo-Saxon". No one has said that Angles and Saxons weren't contemporary terms, random person on the internet.
