gayme-dev: ogsheen: techmomma: Europeans can snort so many mummies it wipes out almost the entire population of mummified individuals but human sacrifice is bad. Hm. Is…is human sacrifice not bad to you guys? Like imagine if you didn’t know anything about them when you met them for the first time and they showed you all their amazingly advanced astronomy, irrigation systems, and stuff. Then the next thing they show you is a sacrifice to the gods which involves killing someone while they are fully conscious and healthy. You wouldn’t think that’s fucked up? You’d look past that because they know how the stars work? Hm. Literally no one is arguing that human sacrifice is not bad, its that Europeans (White Europeans) only ever focus on the unethical parts Mesoamerica. Why is it that we can learn about the fantastic things white Europeans did in history while their conquests and sacrifices get swept aside? Or studied with facination? Why is it that all I, a mexican, always hear white people talk about the unethical parts of mesoamerican culture and never how they were one of the most technological advanced civilizations? Its the racism. -- source link
