India has a caste system that separates people socially via their economic status. I wonder if this is more of a lower caste issue. Also idk whats with the racist tropes on almost everybody whenever a chance is given.. savages etc?. If you're trying to "trigger" me or who/whatever it's a waste of time. I'm not a fragile retarded cancel-vulture redditer like we have all come to know.

It's not a racist trope. You've been taught there was a time people were racist and did and believed things because they were backwards, hateful, and ignorant, but now we're enlightened. We were all taught that.

It's not true tho.

For instance, the natives weren't noble and peace loving and at one with nature until the evil white man came and genocided them and stole their land. They were awful violent savages who very conveniently died off largely on their own to make room for European expansion. It's why people believed it was ordained by God for the new world to be conquered. It would have certainly seemed that way.

The modern retelling of history, at least at the surface level, is retconned bullshit.
