Vestiges of the 17th-20th century paternalistic, colonialist mentality. The same way they decided that Great Zimbabwe 'couldn't' have been built & peopled by sub Saharan, non white people.
I'd love to get a hold of Belzoni & horsewhip him. He did irreparable damage wherever he went & he held non whites in contempt?
