Uh actually if you're going to define it as 'Art' then it's entitled to take a "view point" which you may not thinks is correct, but which is intended to cause a reaction. Which you are having. There is no duty to be truthful - which is why it's "Art" and not a history book.
And, what do you mean by "correct" anyway. You mean the current view of what you deem to be correct - which may not be others viewpoint, and which probably was not the viewpoint of people in future or the past. And, anyway the only viewpoint that matter is that of the creator of the work.
So no sorry, I think you mean "if I did something about Colonization I would do it differently and the current work does not properly represent my viewpoint".
Not as pithy though.
- eropple 12y agoYou are asserting that doing your level best to ignore the worst offenses of American history is somehow valid. This isn't merely disagreement on something that's opinion-based. This is ignoring factual things that happened. White guys rewriting history to make then look good is objectively bad. This is simply not that complex.
