I vaguely recall a BBC(?) Radio Feature that spoke of historical rhythms of how the British framed their past. Was there a Celtic phase some time in the 1800s?

As far as I recall, the dichotomy between the “Germanic” and “Celtic” was common even in the 19thc. Much of it was caught up in nationalism between Britain and Ireland in particular.

The other thing this reminds me of is a little detail in the movie Traitor/King. You remember when they go to pay taxes to the English? They ride by a group of perhaps entertainers or traders of color.

What an interesting subject, I'd never heard critique of the term before now. What words/contexts would be more appropriate? I read the article but I feel I need a bit more direction before I can confidently use the better terms myself.

Using the term in a historical context to relate to previous scholarship and such is fine. "Early English" is a more suitable term to use now.

I’ve always bristled at the designation of “Anglo,” especially in the southwestern US, where I live and where it’s used to distinguish non-Hispanic whites. There’s nary a drop of Anglo (or Saxon) blood in me!

Niemeyer is pretty Saxon no?!

I rather be led by correctness than by white supremacy disguised as non-pcness.
