My college application essay was done in the style of a field report in which I detailed my observations of white people and their bizarre behaviors. Racist? Maybe a little. Effective? Heck yeah! Facetiousness aside, this really has been on my mind for over a decade. The Eurocentric view of history is no more ludicrous than any other centric perspective, but the view that one historical perspective is The Right One is crazy. It's such a shame that other histories have been lost, "lost" and outright destroyed.
