      #MedievalTwitter #Linguistics can we discuss the utter racist erasure of literally erasing all the work of @ISASaxonists as well as @erik_kaars but you cite white men who barely are connected or have written about this? Who did your peer review.https://twitter.com/wordorigins/status/1360334645104152580 …

      I had nothing to do with the production of this article; I just tweeted about it

      Had you read it though? Cause it's not doing what it should be doing and tagging two scholars who take a public beating regularly for this seemed like a weird flex.

      I don't know what it "should" be doing, unless you mean it needs to do a better job at citing BIPOC scholars in the intro--the erasure is a major flaw. But the core analysis is solid, new, and valuable 1/3

      The data in how different discourse communities use the term is particularly valuable in understanding how to effectively communicate with those communities 2/3

      As for tagging you and Erik, I just thought you'd want to be aware of it in case you hadn't seen it. If that was weird or insulting, I'm sorry.

      Replying to @wordorigins @ISASaxonists @dorothyk98

      But this isn't just an issue of some sort of ethical erasure of a scholar who should be mentioned in the intro. It's a question of the scholarly validity of an article on a racial issue by white academics that only cites white academics.

          Treating it as still objective and "solid" continues the narrative that white scholars are objective and neutral observers whose analysis of whiteness can be trusted, even while they ignore one of the central scholars of color who has analyzed & spoken about that subject.

          What is particularly astonishing is that *their own analysis* identifies Dr. MRO as a central figure in the discussion, but she is never given the space to be an authority, only the object of study. Which is how scholars of color are treated over & over again in their own fields.
