anything re: whites doing Native American genocide, whites putting japanese-americans in camps, slavery, the land whites stole from Mexico, various colonial atrocities like in the Philippines

basically anything that makes white people uncomfortable

"Patton wasn't a very good general" tends to hit some sore spots.

so does “Patton was a huge anti-semite” or “MacArthur was a moron”

I dont think as many people as you think are uncomfortable about discussing the first three. The fourth is just two colonial powers fighting each other so who really cares. More recent history like the poo poo we pulled in the Phillippines will get you stinkeyes though.

have you considered: bringing this up with real life white Americans

the results may shock you

you will be lucky if people even know about the subjugation/oppression of the Philippians and stuff like the moro massacre to get defensive about it. the first two are widely taught in schools to varying degrees. the mexican american war is barely taught and Philippians are maybe touched on sometimes. most americans get their history from some underpayed bored public school history teacher and thats if they live in good parts of the north.

friend, the philippians are in the Bible

but you’re totally correct. i think people in aztlan are more likely to learn about the mexican american war by virtue of the year or two in elementary when you go over your state history, but other than that? perhaps not so much. and that’s why people get mad, because they have this very childlike sense of patriotism and civic pride where they can’t handle the fact that the us has done some seriously bad poo poo

also the notion that white americans don’t get incredibly uncomfortable or bad when discussing slavery is laughable

sorry about that. but yeah, you are absolutely right. its mostly ignorance(sometimes self imposed but often because of poo poo schools and busy life with no focus on it) but also the child like patrionism stuff. Horace Mann did to good a job i guess.

it’s that and then it either turns into very ugly atrocity denial or worse, saying that the victims deserved it to the point of making up very gross rear end lies (see for example: the twilight zone episode with george takei)
