Kai su, teknon?

One of my grandfathers was a dentist. The other was a fisherman.

I very genuinely need tumblr to understand that museums are as diverse as historians, egyptologists, archaeologists, and what have you in general. Like from the way people are talking you'd think that only straight white Western men are ever involved in these concepts, because the internet at large just loves to be able to get on their little high horsie about how they are sooo much more morally correcter than the Evil Other

forgot I'm on the piss on the poor website so I'll spell it out: Western straight white men aren't per definition the Evil Other either

Every single indigenous person i know who pursued archeology/anthropology dropped out due to the rampant racism and misogyny in the fields

Without denying that racism and misogyny are still problems in society at large OR the experience of the people you know, the idea that non-Western people *in general* can't participate "meaningfully" in e.g. history is not only demonstrably untrue, but also actively harmful because there are plenty of non-Western, non-straight, non-white, non-male historians/archaeologists/etc. working in their respective fields who get painted as hapless victims when they're everything but.
