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.

Vel is often used synonymously with et in eighth century sources, especially in ethnic discourse. Cf. Continuation of Fredegar c.33, Annales Mosellani/Laureshamenses 780. Either way, Anglo-Saxon is a modern appellation applied to this situation.

not to mention that all translations of Bede have translated it as "and" and in this case "or". Angles OR Saxons doesn't mean that Bede can't distinguish, he's talking about the Old Saxons on the Continent and that the peoples who live in Britain came from either.

But Bede always distinguishes, but he puts Saxons under the English umbrella based on language, as that is largely how he defines the peoples in Britain.
