Anglo-Saxons didn’t exist – Cambridge University
Anglo-Saxons didn’t exist – Cambridge University

Studying the direct predecessors of the modern English is not “anti-racist” enough for the university, the Telegraph reported
Cambridge University is teaching students that the Anglo-Saxons never existed as a distinct ethnic group, in an effort to “dismantle the… myths” of English nationalism, the Telegraph reported on Saturday. Liberal academics have long decried the term for its association with “whiteness.”Cambridge’s Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) will seek “to dismantle the basis of myths of nationalism – that there ever was a ‘British’, ‘English’, ‘Scottish’, ‘Welsh’ or ‘Irish’ people with a coherent and ancient ethnic identity – by showing students just how constructed and contingent these identities are and always have been,” the British newspaper reported, citing information from the university.By denigrating the idea of a distinct Anglo-Saxon identity, the university said that it aims to make its teaching more “anti-racist.”The controversy over the term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ began in 2019, when Canadian academic Dr Mary Rambaran-Olm resigned from the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists over the “inherent whiteness” of the field. Rambaran-Olm, who is not white, went on to write that “the Anglo-Saxon myth perpetuates a false idea of what it means to be ‘native’ to Britain,” and that the term is “historically inaccurate.”
The society changed its name to the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England, but some academics were furious, describing the controversy as an attempt to impose American racial identity politics onto a British field of study. “The conditions in which the term is encountered, and how it is perceived, are very different in the USA from elsewhere,” 70 historians wrote in an open letter in 2020.“It’s a continuation of what’s been going on for some years, where pride in national identity is being attacked,” political commentator Anthony Webber told RT. Pointing out that the modern-day English owe a third of their ancestry to the Anglo-Saxons, he added: “I don't think it serves the cause of anti-racism to suddenly make sections of the population feel that they shouldn’t be proud of their background.”Historically, the Anglo-Saxon period denotes the time between around 450 and 1066 AD. During this period, Germanic peoples – Angles, Saxons, and Jutes – arrived in Britain and established kingdoms that were consolidated into the Kingdom of England by Athelstan of Wessex in 927. This period saw the development of the first iteration of the English language and the creation of epic poems like Beowulf and Waldere.So influential were the Anglo-Saxons on modern British and American culture that the French and Russians use the term as shorthand for English-speaking elites on both sides of the Atlantic.

Anglo Saxons did exist of course. What they are saying is that the Angles, Saxons and Jutes culture was similar to that which already existed in England and integrated themselves into it. They were already Christians, and shared a culture similar to that of the Danes.

I took several courses in European History in college and all the principal historic figures mentioned were White. The only non-White people mentioned were those conquered by the European powers. Europe was almost completely populated by White people, so European history that took place in Europe was White history. Because only a total moron would not have been aware of this.Warcok » 05 Jun 2023, 8:50 am » wrote: ↑ I never heard of a white history course being caught in college or high school for that matter.

I don't see the controversy here. Anglo-Saxons never existed as a distinct ethnic group. It is a linguistic group. While there is only minor genetic variations between White Europeans, there are significant linguistic differences.Majik » 04 Jun 2023, 4:49 pm » wrote: ↑ Studying the direct predecessors of the modern English is not “anti-racist” enough for the university, the Telegraph reported

You would have to go back to B.C. to figure out distinct ethnic differences among Europeans. And, likely, the writing of the ancient Greeks is just wrong when it comes to the origins of the the inhabitants of what is know known as Ireland, Great Briton, Scotland and West France.

Hey, Brofessor, "Anglo-Saxon" has more to do with linguistics than it does to genetics or racial types. When people speak in terms of "Anglo-Saxon", they are generally discussing the evolution of the English language from the Germanic languages.Xavier_Onassis » 05 Jun 2023, 8:58 am » wrote: ↑ I took several courses in European History in college and all the principal historic figures mentioned were White.

The maybe you should just accept that and stop trying to create a fake *** history or narrative? If you aren't willing to accept us why should we accept you in any way?....your argument continues to be nothing more than progressive propaganda....do you even attempt to think for yourself anymore or are you that far gone?
Checking the grammar and spelling of posts you don't agree with is childish. It's the M.O. of someone who hasn't matured emotionally enough to the point where they can formulate and express their own thoughts in a coherent way...none of us have seen you do that to posts you do agree with...it's as if you use the internet to employ a "sucker punch and run" strategy that allows to not to think...just react.....there's that darn Pavlo's Bell & Drool" thing again...it's the "monkey on your back" that makes you so entertaining.
