We existed. They aren’t gonna give a reasonable answer cause it’s going to be some racist propaganda their peepaw told them. They also usually never met a black or brown person in their life and only saw us on Twitter or heard us referred to as racial slurs on platforms like YY, 4-Chan, Discord, and Twitter
From the perspective of a civilization 6 player Most of Europe was playing as war based civilizations, didn’t take the time to care about culture Now that it’s getting to end game and war is falling out of favor they must steal from other cultures and present it as their own if they don’t want their empire to lose loyalty
goes back to imperialism and colonialism, the ruling class knows that a divided class is easier to control so they spread lies and fearmonger. it’s unfortunately persisted into modern day because we haven’t done anything to actually wipe that ideology and mindset off the face of the earth
100% because they were never taught that history properly. They’ve got a watered down or whitewashed version of the story. I go to a PWI and ik WAY too many white ppl who think all natives just killed white ppl for no reason or that slavery was just picking cotton in fields. That’s part of the reason why the confederacy hasn’t died and honestly spread. If you ask a person with a confederate flag who fought for slavery they’ll say “the democrats” and that “they were evil for wanting slavery”-
