It’s easy to look at what happened between the so-called Western nations and the rest of the world and call it racism. But what if the problem with white people isn’t racial, but geographic?
These speculations began while I was reading a Geography textbook from 1920 — that’s 100 years ago this year. Reading about the land and resources of people around the world is interesting in and of itself — Vermont was a wood state, Maryland grew a lot of strawberries, that sort of thing. But where it got especially interesting was when it came to the differences between peoples of foreign lands.
