You are not alone in this even if you think so. The BBC has a hatred of all expressions of Cornish national identity and even refuses to follow the advice of the Royal Kilbrandon Report into the constitution that suggested Cornwall be called a Duchy in view of its specific constitutional position.
Sadly many an English nationalist is only too happy for the BBC to airbrush Cornwall and it's non English identity out of existence but when the tables are turned....
Equally before devolution to Wales, Scotland and the Six Counties of Northern Ireland many of -today's- English nationalists didn't give two hoots if the BBC didn't say England. Not much of a movement for English self-determination and English recognition before devolution was there? Why? Because most of the newly converted English nationalists were quite happy as Anglo-Brits. Not that surprising really considering their nation dominated the political, cultural and economic life of these isles. They didn't have to worry about English identity because everyone was becoming British which to you meant English anyway.
The BBC are still Anglo-Brits clinging on to the empire today's 'English nationalists' were so fond of.
