Guy Halsall has been one of most progressive voices on the question of Late Antique & Early Medieval ethnicity. He has also been a great influence on my work, and he's a downright good man. The sheer level of abuse he has faced here online by certain academics is a disgrace. https://t.co/R1ukkDQtMv

Guy addresses these structures as if he has the privilege & wherewithal to punch back b/c he is being critiqued for doing/saying something that shows his racism, sexism etc. So do tell us how "twat, stupid, imperialist" is "progressive." Waiting.

Or that's fine b/c it's directed at non-white medievalists, even when we are not talking @ him. Explain how not sexist, racist he is, let alone how white scholars wants to condone such sexist, racist behavior. You are supporting racism, sexism, punching down

Despite claims grounded in white fragility that there is an active twitter mob unfairly targeting these esteemed progressive white male progressive scholars, all I've seen are critiques of their abuses that ask them to reflect and do better.
