The woke academics claimed that the purpose of its anti-English stance is to make its history lessons “more anti-racist”, the department said according to the broadsheet, adding: “One concern has been to address recent concerns over use of the term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ and its perceived connection to ethnic/racial English identity.”
“In general, ASNC teaching seeks to dismantle the basis of myths of nationalism… by showing students just how constructed and contingent these identities are and always have been,” they continued.

It comes amid a wider movement in academia to link the historical group of Germanic Angles, Jutes, and Saxon peoples who arrived after the end of Roman controlled Britain and the conquest of the Normans with alleged racism, which many claim has been fostered in America.
The attempt to brand the term as toxic has succeeded to such an extent that the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists decided in 2019 to change its name to the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England due to “the problematic connotations that are widely associated with the terms ‘Anglo-Saxon’.”
The name change came shortly after the resignation of Canadian academic Dr Mary Rambaran-Olm* from the organisation, who later claimed that the study of Anglo-Saxon history is fraught with “inherent whiteness” and that the “Anglo-Saxon myth perpetuates a false idea of what it means to be ‘native’ to Britain.”
* - Dr Mary Rambaran-Olm - идентифицирует себя в качестве "Небелой" (что несколько подозрительно - см. на цвет глаз на фотографии [если только это не линзы, но тогда - почему выбор Чёрноликой Учёного пал на голубоглазые линзы?]).. Зачем, впрочем, она вообще пошла изучать Англо-Саксов, если и без изучения было ясно, что они все бледнолицые - т.е. расисты?
