    You really think folks speculating about the origin of stonehenge decades ago were thinking “this couldn’t have been built by people of dark complection!”. That is a very extreme reach.

      I have no idea, but one person said that alien architect theories were racist:

      Basically, non-white people built something too advanced and white people don’t like that.

      Then you said they say the same thing about Stonehenge prompting capital to say:

      And just like that, that long ass comment about how it’s actually racism is deflated. Jesus fucking Christ sometimes it’s not racism.

      I just don’t see how bringing Stonehenge into it is a gotcha that proves it’s not racism, since it was also built by brown people.
