Calls for scholars to use a term other than “Anglo-Saxon” aren’t “bans”or attempts to “outlaw” words or “erase history.” They’re calls for scholars to not use racist terms. There are many sexist/homophobic/racist terms scholara stopped using bc they caused harm. #medievaltwitter

Replying to @erik_kaars
Spot on. There are 50+ books on my shelf with A-S in the title. Many works in preparation use it. The textbooks I use include it, although publishers are changing that going forward. Many of us are simply phasing out A-S and contextualizing its use in works we cite.

I am pretty sure that Kolve would be find with people changing that title and only citing his book when necessary. So again, some serious fake news BS.
