What's wrong with wewuzzing? It doesn't hurt anybody

It's intellectually dishonest and steals other people's history as it's own. The implications are massive and dangerous.

>>2838626
the people for and against wewuzzing are ethnicityfags trying to 1-up the other ethnicity teams.

so naturally they are going to be competitive about it

>>2838626
Depends on the context and purpose. General wewuzing is an attempt to hijack other people's histories to prove yourself superior and push aj agenda.

Shit like Hamilton doesn't bother me. Theater has wewuzed for centuries and often out of necessity. Dramatization of history will never be faithful.

Academic dishonesty however can be damaging to understanding our past.

It's petty, but using your ancestor's achievements to bolster your pride is also petty.

What is Nazi Germany?

>historical revisionism doesn't hurt anybody
Anon pls.

>>2838748
It's not about using ones ancestry for their own pride. It's about having perspective on the past. If people have a severely skewed understanding of history they can be easily manipulated into supporting things based on the skewed understanding.

>>2838915
Why? Asians and whites have a lot of wewuzzism too.

one of my friends claimed zen buddhism was started by a white guy

Ukrainian Nationalists claim Buddhist was a Ukrainian and Noah's Ark was in Ukraine.

>>2838958
It was. The guy who started it was known as the blue eyed barbarian and was from the west of china. Probably some White Pashtun looking fellow.
>inb4 they don't exist
Yes they do.

It causes megalomania and delusions of grandeur, which can lead to horrible consequences.

Huh? Where did the meme that every black person thinks this comes from?

>>2838983
What I said is completely true.

It's not we wuz when it's true.

>>2838915
Are you seriously implying white Americans aren't the biggest wewuzzers on earth? People claiming they're Italians because they're from Brooklin, how how Boston is more Irish than Ireland?

>>2839097
>People claiming they're Italians because they're from Brooklin
If someones 1st generation and their living parents literally immigrated from Italy they're Italian. To be Italian is more than civil nationality although that's one definition of it. The Italian government hands out duel citizenship like water to people who are only a few generations removed from their roots because they aren't retarded.

>>2839140
If every American comes from somewhere else and there was no nation called USA before colonization. Who is actually American when everyone claims they came from somewhere else?
Why don't Americans call themselves Italian-Americans instead of Italian? Ok, you have the genes but you act like an American instead of an Italian.

>>2838763
In the Iran thread you claim Turks are whiter then anyone. But in this thread you bash White people, what's your stance you bipolar shitposting piss-ant?

Kinda funny considering blacks love to cite the white man's ancestor's achivements to bolster their socioeconomic disadvantage

They do.

Whoops Zen literally is Chan

But yeah, Central Asian/North Indian is not what many consider a "white person" nowadays. There simply isn't enough evidence to know, and claiming "he was white" is literal we wuzzing

>>2839315
So we have legends claiming he was a White Persian. He MIGHT not have been but we have evidence implying he was and it's not the type of thing the Chinese would make up. If one takes the position he WAS a White Persian its scholarly legitimate and if ones takes the position he may or may not have been its okay because sources are mythical but accusing it as wewuzing is false.

>Central Asian/North Indian is not what many consider a "white person" nowadays.
Some people in that area are White. Some have brown hair and blue eyes. It's not every other person. It's not Scandinavia. But it does happen.

>>2839475
White in the modern times is a synonym for European. For the most part a Steppe person with green eyes and red hair is still distinguishable from a European.
