        I went into the wrong line of business. In college we'd get drunk and make up such crap for laughs.

        It did pave the way for colonialisation by the British Empire, so yes very racist!

        Ignoring black culture is racist. Appropriating black culture is racist. Everything is racist. It is known.

        @asherahresearch I'm relieved to learn the glacier paper was not a hoax. That would've been disappointing.
