Reviews

what variety of humans!


(5 stars)

an interesting, comprehensive depiction of the various peoples of the world, mostly nonjudgmental, as seen from "our" (US/British) perspective

outdated views on ethnicity


(4 stars)

audio has a lot of outdated and raycyst notions of ethnicity. Today, we know there are only 2 types of people. There are white people, and there are BIPOC peoples. White people are evil, raycystz who subsist by oppressing BIPOCs and stealing the gifts of their genius. They are noted for being mean spirited, weak, cowardly, ugly, and smelly. BIPOCs, on the other hand, are kindly, intelligent, beautiful, industrious, and strong. However, they are constantly being oppressed by whites because their inherent goodness can not fathom the evil that is endemic in whites.
