    This is what British people discovering American natives was like, it was so mindblowing to them that these foreign “barbaric” people were able (more able in fact) to communicate with good manners and intentions. Yet they still stayed racist as fuck and the intellectual community tried to avoid attributing ideological contributions to the actual natives that thought of them.

      One of things that stood out to me learning about European contact with natives was that the reports from Euros were largely like “omg look at these weird savages, we must teach them about the Lord and good manners!” But many tribes, having come into contact with various other tribes with different cultures for centuries, were like “Oh look, people, lets say hey and give them gifts.” From a young age I had the thought “the Europeans were actually the less civilized and cultured people weren’t they?”

        The weirdest ever European colonial contact will be that time a group of Brits assumed a group of gorillas were violent hairy natives. And sent back a very confused written report about it.

          If you don’t want to see posts from this comm it’s fine, just block the comm. Many people like complaining about this stuff because I barely know anybody IRL who will care or notice this shit

    I had half expected to see a swaggering tribesman of the kind I used to meet in Yemen—mouth bulging with khat leaves, a shawl over his shoulders, and a curved dagger at his belt. Instead, Abdelmalek al-Ejri was a neat looking fellow in a blue-tartan blazer and a button-down shirt.

    Absolutely has tagline energy. Every time I have clicked the little picture in my feed to expand the text, I have felt the psychic assault as purely as the first time I saw it. I do not think this will get old.

    Additionally, if anyone has access to the cutting edge of artificial-intelligence, I would love to see what the racism machine makes of the each of these sentences.

    Dies anyone remember when Milo Stewart (???) said “we’re all a little racist” and his comments section was filled with “but doesn’t that mean you’re racist laugh cry” and was bullied off the internet? (I don’t know who he is outside of that)

    Always bothers me when comments are clearly responding to the title or something and haven’t watched the video. Happens a bit on anti-zionist videos a bit.
