Not that there isn't something to be said for far-east literature

I liked Hagakure

a good book about total dedication

but maybe that's shallow in comparison to European classics that I've never read

yea, i like some of it, but seriously do we have to read Vietnamese poetry at the expense of American and European writers? Especially if the class is 90% white?

It disconnects you from your own culture, much like I am

and leaves a void to be filled with indoctrination

there is a good book on Japanese short stories from the Feudal period called "five women who loved love" which i like until the last story, but yea there is quality lit coming out of some of those places

but does that make it more important than teaching white American students that they have a history and a culture and a people? I don't think so. Read Asian lit on your own time

Absolutely. When I was in high school I hated that we had to study Serbian history and Serbia literature 50% of the time, while we left only 50% to the rest of the world.

Now I appreciate it better.

You have to know your heritage in greatest possible detail.

To truly respect it in the way it deserves.

In US history classes at my university, they often teach American students lies (America committed genocide againsnt the Amer-Indians) or to hate themselves (if only America were less racist the black race in America would truly be equal and able to compete without the need for mandatory diversity training)

The "story of our people" used to be sung at ceremonial gatherings. Now it's delegated to dusty history books no one has to read.

Insanity.

We need to bring back word-of-mouth history. Starting with our children 😃

My father used to talk about history with me a lot when I was young. It's all about transferring the knowledge from one generation to the next.

we need to write down the oral histories of the elder generation before they pass away. if we lose the 90 year old German women who weren't nazis, while holocaust studies is a thing and the stories of the old jews in Germany becomes the narrative we will have a damn difficult time red pilling anyone again

I mean, I already have students mad that we don't talk about "the" holocause in my class, but rather we just discuss WWII and it's effects on Europe and Europeans. this makes the professors in Jewish Studies very mad. they call my department head and complain about me being anti-semetic

If only they knew how deep the rabbit hole goes

Next time someone calls me in for a discussion about anti-Semitism, I'm just going to say "I'm not anti-semitic, I'm just Jew-Aware" 😂
