Raceplay, colonialism, and civilizational trauma
Can you imagine the agony of a Qing official as their worldview of Confucianism and tian came crashing down in a barrage of British gunfire? Or how an Aztec ruler would feel, seeing the worthlessness of his gods and worldview made manifest as his elite warriors were effortlessly trounced?
And what of the women of these proud nations laid low? The Egyptian peasant? The Congolese princess? The Shakti devotee? When they see the men who have upended their entire world with thunder and steel, how do they react? Flee? Submit? Fight?
In the end, the outcome is the same. Let's talk about it.
Hopefully it's obvious, but I am a white man looking to talk to someone who is neither of those things. Ideally someone interested in discussing history and its intermingling with swxuality.
