I’m starting to believe that the “racial correctness” of some #Netflix series does much more harm than good.
New generations raised on series that show 18th century white aristocrats hanging out with blacks, or even a black queen, will probably believe that colonization and imperialism weren’t that bad, that they built an equitable society, and that the crimes against the indigenous populations were exceptions, not the norm.
In a society where history curricula in schools often get watered down, or worse where any references to the crimes of white imperialism are opposed by racist, ignorant and scumbag parents, Netflix’ racial correctness is nothing but a sophisticated form of whitewashing.
