That is just crass. Why ruin an interesting topic that way?
- jkic47 3y agoPerhaps because it is interesting that a region known for recent colonialism was once, itself, colonized? Just like this statement might provoke thought: long before the US railed against China for "stealing" technology, the US had to "borrow" British technology. https://www.nps.gov/articles/lowell-handbook-power-looms.htm https://www.nps.gov/articles/lowell-handbook-power-looms.htm
