- squiggleblaz 7y agoBut do you seriously reckon all those European businesses from the 800s were registered as a company? This map is nothing but a racist pissing match created by enlightened Europeans who've worked out some novel way of considering them better than the civilisations they trashed. It's an embarrassment.
- marliechiller 7y agois it that? or is it just a mildly interesting, if factually incorrect infographic? youve made a mental leap to racism there which is quite unfair
- Certhas 7y agoNot the person you are replying to, but: I don't think anyone set out to create an intentionally racist map. But the effect can still be racist. If it's based on data-sources and concepts that have a Europe and Europe descendent focus, and then presents them as facts about the world, without acknowledging the perspective, that is problematic. If further the tenuous continuity claims in some European countries, that are little more than advertisement, are put side to side with much stricter formal registration data from other countries this starts being quite deliberate.
- PappaPatat 7y agoCan you give some pointers as to what data / sources / criteria would make for a more fair representation?
- ionwake 7y agolol
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoI wondered about that - perhaps the map should be "Oldest business registered with a western institution" or some such. Meaning, being known to westerners makes them more real.
