- Spooky23 6y agoSome people see it as a symbol of oppression because Europe and North America look bigger. I’m not sure why an oversized projection of Greenland is exploitive, but it garners attention from people interested in such things.
- lupire 6y agoBecause it overemphasizes the importance of Europe and North America, and Canada and Asia, and makes Greenland look silly.
- coldtea 6y agoIn many parts of the world they never did.
