Much better. Scotland and Wales aren’t some sad little oppressed colonies. Especially in the former’s case - much of the trouble in NI is caused by Scottish-descended colonists, for example.
Also, I believe (to whoever brought up the Rwandan Genocide) that Rwanda was mainly administered by France. Not Britain.
EDIT: No to both actually, Belgium.
Not that my two points make any of this better.

Yeah the "protestants" in NI are really ulster scots and their anti catholic sentiment is really just anti Irish in general.

Well, sure - looking at that place and deciding that Dutch settlers were the real threat was, ahem. a counting error, and infighting between European powers was the reason that colonialism failed.
It was a large project, and mistakes were made.
Still, if you are really going this route - please explain to me why it would have been better for the Europeans (and Arabs) to leave everyone in Africa illiterate, in mud huts, etc. instead of bringing them organized religion, roads, cars, medicine, information technology, gunpowder, etc. Their intentions were paternalistic, not moustache-twirling villainry, and the result was modernity.
If you would like to argue that it would have been more humane to leave them in the Stone Age, please do that. I don't even necessarily think that you're wrong - but it would be a very radical argument. Your options here are to either concede that the good (paternalistic, Christian) intentions of colonialism had good results, OR to go full Ted Kaczynski, and argue that African-Americans with jobs and cars would have been better off spear-hunting, and that Lincoln should have sent them back on boats for their own good.
I'm interested in seeing which way you choose.

Chief among them however is the idea of the superiority of the so called Aryan race, specifically the Nordic subrace; that it is their destiny to rule over others. However we know many people pick and choose which parts of an ideology to follow sometimes to bizarre levels. So that leaves the question: Is it possible for someone to believe in all the other tenets of Nazism but not the superiority of the Aryan race and still remain a Nazi? Or is that particular belief so central to Nazism that in order to be genuine Nazi you must believe in it? In other words, are all Nazis racists?
I believe in order to be a genuine Nazi you most adhere to the idea of so called Aryan superiority and therefore, yes, all Nazis are racist. What say you, NSG?

Yes Because Nazism Is Defined As The Views Of Adolf Hitler So Yes And Nazism Is Also Defined As Extreme Nationalism Which Is Basically Racism (NOTE: I Am Not Saying Nationalism = Racism I’m Saying Being A Extreme Nationalist Is Being Racist)

You quoted one explorer who thought this more than a hundred years ago, and I directed you to the definitions of writing and pre-writing, and it fit with the latter, since it was not a complete, functional or used system. I thought it would be mean to keep pressing this issue, since you invested so much posting into a lost cause.Rojava Free State wrote:Ankenland is the same guy who thinks the Greeks today are Turkish hybrids because they're brown colored and ancient Greek pictures show some people with blonde hair. #1 there is still plenty of blonde greeks and #2 if you think one painting proves ancient greeks were all blonde, you must also think that the average anime character proves that all Japanese teenage boys are big and ripped and dress like an edgy train conductor.
As opposed to you, who wants to push the idea that... what? Turks are Greek hybrids, and the three hundred year occupation of Greece by Turkey had no effect on their genetics?
Next, argue that the conquest of Constantinople didn't change the ethnicity of the people there, either - or argue why one case should be different from the other. Either way, I look forward to reading this.
