- _cenw 3y agoIt's not just US-centric, it is also just wrong. What's considered white in the US wasn't always the same, especially in the founding years.
- bbkane 3y agoIirc, Irish people were not considered white and were discriminated against.
- wildrhythms 3y agoIrish people, Jewish people, Polish people... the list goes on. 'Whiteness' was manufactured to exclude entire groups of people for political purposes.
- lupusreal 3y agoBenjamin Franklin considered Germans to be swarthy, Lmao Anyway, if you asked Gemini to give you images of 18th century German-Americans it would give you images of Asians, Africans, etc.
