So I've been doing some thinking about history and maps and the like. I think maps where north is up are, due to history, inherently racist. They place the areas that have been under the power of white men at the top of the world, over everyone that they feel they have a right to rule. Since physics doesn't indicate that any particular direction is up, maps should be made with south as up, this would also mean that children in schools will be better acquainted with the geography of the southern hemisphere since they will see it first on a globe.

Interesting way of looking at the world, but most of the countries are on the northern half, plus most of the north is Canada and Russia in this perspective, and no one really lives there.

A map designates north and south, not up and down. You are the one making it racist by claiming that whites are above

I, for one, believe that OP is not a faggot. This should be taught in all schools, particularly those which teach a majority of white children.

Oh wait, niggers didn't know how to write until white people showed they.
