Let us suppose the Europeans were the stone age people, and the Indians were the advanced (equivalent to 1492) people.
The Indians discover Europe, take captives and return home. Soon the diseases picked up there in Europe kill off most of the Indians in the New World.
It is STILL the White Man’s fault!
I am reminded of an old movie, I think it is either IVAN THE TERRIBLE, or Alexander Nevsky, a Russian film.
In the opening scene he is meeting with Mongols or Chinese officials from the East, who are being carried on a litter by Russian slaves.
Slavery has been around for a while.
It is STILL the White Man’s fault!
Had you bothered to read the post (#2) that I was
responding to perhaps you might have understood the
context in which I used the term “relatively”.
I was referring to organized societies which predated
organized Europe as listed in post #2.
Perhaps if you dig a little deeper initially and
refrain from “ make something else up” type comments
you can avoid snappy retorts.
