I always thought eurocentric meant viewing other places through the same lens one views European history.

However some people seem to think it means just a focus on Europe compared to other places.

Which is it? I have a problem with the first but less of a problem with the second, so I just want to get my terms straight.

Its the latter. It means viewing Europe as more important than other places.

>>2269859
it's both
the latter leads to the former

It's looking at things from a European viewpoint. It's absolutely sensical for a European. I don't care how the non-Whites want to go about history.

I never really understood the euro-centric meme. There isn't a corner of the globe that hasn't been influenced by Europeans. As such, European history is world history.

Now, that doesn't mean European history is better than others. I personally enjoy studying Asian history. But European history is absolutely more important in the understanding of the modern world, where African history isn't.
