World history without the Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, imperial Japan? Even from an eurocentristic point of view that's too reductive.

The obsession about skin color in general gave it away.

The top comment doesn’t mention skin color but the poster you reply to does…

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

The original post mentions skin color. It seems like a legitimate topic of discussion anywhere in this thread.

Interestingly eurocentrists often refer to Alexander the Great as taking over "the world" even though he only took over Europe and the Middle East (which is what they saw as "the world" at the time). His troops abandoned him almost immediately upon entering what is now modern day Punjab (Pakistan/India).

He didn't even take over much of Europe (just Greece), so that's a weird stance for modern-day eurocentrists, anyway.

Well, modern day eurocentrists are weird people.
