indians had civilization before europe did.
in fact, it was so much earlier that they already became peaceful and lost the war against the brits.

>>135031411
yes

>>135031411
Yes, because they were prehistoric savages.
Oh, wait, you mean dot indians, not fucking natives. Shouldn't you know that since you empired them bitches?

Indians have always been thought of as mostly civilised people with a deep culture and history but often hampered by backwards beliefs and traditions and almost stupidly superstitious, same as most East Asians were. Way above nigs, but still below European civilisation.
