You’re using the argument my wife uses when these types of pseudo-history movies are on. The thing is people believe this stuff as ACTUAL HISTORY! She says, “No they don’t!”, to which I reply, “You should get out more!”.
The best example was all the nonsense I heard about the “Red Tails” squadron when that film came out. Did you know we wouldn’t have won the air war in Europe without them? They alone swept the skies of the Luftwaffe!
I heard stuff like that from people at work. Supposedly highly educated people. If I pointed out that it wasn’t quite that way, I could see the ‘he (meaning me!) most be a racist’ gears grinding in their heads.
