For some context, this was a :reddit-logo: thread talking about old dnd settings and whether or not they should bring Kara-Tur back. There were plenty of shitty racist takes in the thread, but comparing the existence of christianity in europe to the brutality that african/asian/south american countries experienced during colonialism seemed especially bad.

    It's wrong when whites do it to The Other. It's not wrong when The Other does it to whites. It's okay to be as political and biased as you want because everything is political anyway. Public debate is a war of ideas and non-rational means are acceptable. Rationality and logic hold no special status as means of inquiry, they are male, white, and western, they are not in the least universal human values.
