( Poem about how white people suck? )
White-washing history sucks, guys. For some of the many examples:
Rosalind Franklin, whose work with DNA was pretty much stolen by Watson and Crick.
The Atomic Bombings, which were unnecessary on about a million levels, despite what American history books may tell you.
And let's not forget the huge whitewashing of indigenous culture all over the world.
Why I was thinking of this while preparing ramen, I have no idea. I've had a lot of guilt about the society I live in, lately.
Maybe some real writing later.
