To borrow from a Monty Python movie title — because this is also absurd — And Now For Something Completely Different. Who would’ve guessed that British academics would say that Anglo-Saxons should be cancelled?

Hold on — what? Isn’t that where the name “England” derives, meaning “Land of the Angles”? Or the modern English language, which largely emerged from Old English, or Anglo-Saxon? (Not to mention the American pejorative WASP, meaning “White Anglo-Saxon Protestant:” upper class white people who live mainly on the East Coast and occupy the Social Register.)

Yes, says the University of Cambridge, but we need to refute the idea that they were a distinct ethnic group. The university is also claiming that there were never any distinct Scottish, Irish, or Welsh ethnicities with ancient roots, either.

That’ll make an Irish pub patron spit out his Guinness.
