    I studied pre-Columbian America for five years in University so yes I absolutely know that history lol.

    “All” that history? There’s no such thing. But it doesn’t help that the majority of it was burned down or killed by colonizers a few hundred years ago.

    And how much of that culture is still prevalent? And how much impact did it have on the rest of the world?

    You are literally proving my point about Europeans destroying American history

        Tenochtitlan was the capital of an empire of 5 million people that only fell apart in 1521 because of disease brought by colonists. What are you going to do with the history of which Hapsburg married which cousin?

        Jesus, shut the fuck up. We get it, you don’t think any culture other than your white European culture is worth studying.

            Because we’re literally talking about the native people’s of the Americas and their cultures, who happen to be not white and colonialism was spurred on in part due racism.

            Hem and haw as much as you like but race and racism plays a large part in how and why contemporary America exists today.
