Idaho - potatoes. wait… maybe it’s Iowa? or Ohio?
Idaho and Iowa and Ohio all had rich histories going back tens of thousands of years before Europeans destroyed them lmao. You’re just upset they don’t have 1,000s of years of white history.
Also it’s funny you mentioned Ohio in your comment because the Ohio Mounds became a UNESCO heritage site like a month ago
Oh, so you know all that history? And how much of that culture is still prevalent? And how much impact did it have on the rest of the world?
Those Mounds are barely 1000 years old. Ireland has similar structures and they are about 4000 years older.
But who cares anyway, in the end the history of America is bound to the history of Europe because the majority are descendants of Europeans while the natives were suppressed and eradicated.
I studied pre-Columbian America for five years in University so yes I absolutely know that history lol.
“All” that history? There’s no such thing. But it doesn’t help that the majority of it was burned down or killed by colonizers a few hundred years ago.
And how much of that culture is still prevalent? And how much impact did it have on the rest of the world?
You are literally proving my point about Europeans destroying American history
Studying 5 years of primitive history? What are you going to do with it?
Tenochtitlan was the capital of an empire of 5 million people that only fell apart in 1521 because of disease brought by colonists. What are you going to do with the history of which Hapsburg married which cousin?
Jesus, shut the fuck up. We get it, you don’t think any culture other than your white European culture is worth studying.
white
Why are Americans so obsessed with race?
Because we’re literally talking about the native people’s of the Americas and their cultures, who happen to be not white and colonialism was spurred on in part due racism.
Hem and haw as much as you like but race and racism plays a large part in how and why contemporary America exists today.
