You’re definition of “recent” doesn’t quite seem right
We are talking on the scale of human civilization, which started 6000 years ago at the latest, so 400 years ago would be ~93% of the way history. Any reasonable historian would agree that’s relatively recent history.
That’s racism, xenophobia and otherism have existed forever. The concept of racial superiority and thus racism is fairly new ill agree but that’s not really the whole story is it?
I am replying to the title, which talks specifically about racism and this persons comment which states it’s throughout human history, and I was simply correcting that misconception. I’ve never seen this movie so there is likely some context I’m missing.
