Redefining 'English' into an all-inclusive civic label amounts to the linguistic and sociological dismantling of English identity. Up until recently - until at least 2010 - 'English' was near-universally understood as an ethnic designation. Erasing that distinction under the guise of inclusivity does not unite; it disenfranchises ancestral English people from their own heritage.
When she arrived here in 1996 as a sixteen-year-old, it was still the near-universal view. Yet since the late 2010s, progressives and ethnic interest activists (like Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke "Kemi" Adegoke) have worked on the young to shift this, to be more 'inclusive'.
Far from being inclusive, it is a project seeking to rewrite history and exclude the actual English people from their own identity and terminology.
