In all honesty, white European expansionists in the 1700's came from a land that looked like this.



And they encountered a land that looked like this.



It was a clash of civilizations. The Natives had a good run here, but there is more to the world than they ever comprehended. And in most cases, they were actually compensated for their encounters and cooperation with the white man.

Permanent unending guilt. Funny this doesn't apply to Greek, Romans, Turks, Persians, Ottomans, Chinese, Japanese, Germans. Only white americans.

This anti-white agenda will not create peace and harmony. It's divisive as it gets.

Easy answer: give the land and spoils back to the indigenous peoples.
Not sure Chinese ancestry gives you a pass.

I mean the land was stolen. Not sure why that piece of information would be relevant for a Math course tho.

I think pretty much every group of people living anywhere in the world now stole the land from some other group at some point back in time. At one point in time there were no Rus in Russia, no Angles in England, no Franks in France, etc. I think even the Japanese took over parts of the islands from the Ainu.

It's just the way of the world. If you watch nature documentaries, other groups of animals do the same thing. One group of lions or hyenas or meerkats or chimps will "steal" another's territory if they can.

FIFY

Tell your kid to ask the teacher “Who lived on the land before them?”

I might have been willing to slightly consider, or at least acknowledge, the point of view you described in the OP until I got to this part:

MATH syllabus




Can your kid change sections and get a new teacher?

What you're missing is this is all intentional. There is a reason it only points towards one culture and its vestiges.

This is indoctrination by Cultural Marxism. Its intention is to strip away any dignity or respect for Western/European culture.



Most of the replies here are something along the lines of "but they stole the land from..." or "well look at how racist China is" and like you said, they're completely missing the point.

These academics are not interested in the truth or facts, they're interested in demonization and demoralization. These people know what the natives were like, they know what China is like, and they don't care. Their goal is to destroy your culture and right now they're winning.

Nearly all land in the world was taken from someone else at some point, generally through violence. The US is not unique in this regard.

And the point is that the people who had the land stolen from them, stole the land they were on from others. As has occurred across the entire planet since the dawn of mankind.

Yet the only complaints you hear are here in the US.

Of course they are. It's what Marxist ideology dictates.

Critical Race Theory/Woke Theory is just Marxism dressed up in new clothes.
