In the sense that they likely thought of themselves more as "Angles, Saxons or Jutes", sure...
But they most definitely existed, as far as a collective term for the dominant ethnic group occupying England at the time, so... Cambridge is wrong. Obviously...
But do remember Anglo-Saxons ≠ "Britons", who were the native people before the Romans arrived, and who merged with other groups as they came to "dominate" later on...
It's complicated. Obviously...
But all of these groups would be considered "white", so... shrug.
Of course Cambridge hates that.
