What fucks me up the most about US World History (the curriculum we’re taught in the US in regards to World History) is that for South/Central America we only learn post-Columbus. We have 3 exceptions: the Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans. And even those civilizations were only taught because they were going on during the colonization of the Americas. I’m trying to learn more about my Latin heritage because it’s a big part of who I am but I have to deep dive to get before the slavery and slaughter of the indigenous peoples.
