They owed a lot of money, so one night they changed their name to Scots and denied all knowledge of the Picts.

They brought property and inheritance laws WHICH STILL EXIST TO THIS DAY.
To quote a professor I had, “They called him William the Bastard for a very good reason.”

Nope.
I’m betting that a lot of them do see themselves as Nazis. Most of them just realize how bad the optics are on that, so they wink wink when they say they’re against neo-nazis and white supremacist groups, while saying that there “are mighty fine people on both sides” etc… out of the other side of their mouths.
Also, “Startlingly racist and awful”? I, personally, would have gone with “completely expected and unsurprising”…

Goldhagen’s probably not the best way of presenting that argument, given his proclivity for just making up sources when it was too much trouble to find evidence.

The last Anglo Saxon king got an arrow in the eye and the rest of them were forced to speak French by civilized Vikings. They lost their crown and never got it back.

I think that’s the joke? Because Green and Gaetz and the other a-holes do manage to be even worse about it than Trump - but largely because they’re committed fascists (Trump stumbled into it) and have all the racist language down, whereas Trump didn’t, his racism had some specific targets, but he could only talk about it at a grade-school insult level.

so it was really about a disagreement over which type of fiber to make rugs out of? Gosh, here I thought the Republicans were just racist shits who are white power sympathizers… and it was all about burlap.

You know we’re getting somewhere when the CNN anchor just off-hand gives a sigh of relief of there “not being a Klan Kaucus”.

But Corky said that, although he didn’t know what people did at the bottom of the jute business, he felt sure it was something too horrible for words. He believed in his future as an artist, and wanted to make a career of Art.

I mean, it doesn’t, though. They’d have to be total idiots to think Anglo-Saxon included these ethnicities…oh…oh, I see…

It’s called Early Medieval England now. The idea of the Anglo-Saxon is obsolete, as it’s too closely tied to 18th and 19th century romanticism and other, more pernicious ideologies.

Eh, that’s still a minority position, mostly from US scholars. It’s a debate, not a foregone conclusion in the field.
