S2E5 BEOWULF: RACISM & 'ANGLO-SAXON'
a bit of a miniature episode in which I discuss the unfortunate use of the term Anglo-saxon by certain sections of the internet.
I'm always open to learn and be taught by people who can help me to be more sensitive on issues of racism and inclusion. For now I am posting this episode mostly to signal to any listeners of colour that my use of the term anglo-saxon is not as a term of ethnicity, nor connected to its recent politicisation.
