Of course, but did your world history classes talk about racism?
Kinda, when the slave trade and the US civil war was covered. I don’t remember how in-depth it was at the time. Was briefly covered in law classes too iirc.
I’d guess that was a theme in the classes about your own country’s history
We had white (by modern standards) slaves and white slaveowners. Nationality/ethnicity is more important, and the reason for most of the killings and hate and bigotry in the region.
In a sense it was a blessing, gave us a better class consciousness, and made me realize sooner how dumb the concept of a race is. Unless self-applied it’s pointless at best, and at worst very harmful.
