Is the Idea of Asia and Europe being two separate Continents stem from racism or am i missing something?

[EndGame]

Because History presented to the schools is a lie. Just like the idea the 2 separate continents (North and South America) had only one racial group populating it.

 

[invalid]

There are a number of continental models out there with some citing Eurasia as one continent but yes, it devolves down into racism for the separation. People cite culture, language, histories as being different...yadda yadda yadda.
Its one damn continent.

i think its way for cacs to make it look like they conquered their whole land when really most of it is occupied by asians and arabs.

In other parts of the world some students learn there are 6, some learn there are only 5.

Too militant not to be ignorant approach? I see you.

I’m not militant, stop throwing that word around. Also absolutely, it’s racism and plus other variables.

Is it an interesting topic to talk about yeah, but I personally don’t see why anyone here would care.

 

[H.I.M.]

Every continent and it's boundaries, Africa and North/South America included are modern arbitrary constructs of Europeans.

 

[Fresh]

what bugs me out is how some people act like Egypt is not a part of Africa

 

[Robbie3000]

Africa is connected to Asia too.

Plate Tectonics.

My thoughts make plates shift, some may call this tectonics
It's ironic, got emcees hooked on phonics
so physical styles I construct like bionics

 

[get these nets]

North and South America aren't separated by an ocean either

The Panama Canal says different

*just jokes

 

[ThatTruth777]

go look up the racial implications of the term sub-saharan next

 

[Luke Cage]

Africa is connected to Asia too.

Yep you could make an argument for a single afroeurasian continent. Which makes it even more apparent that academic simply divied everything up by racial populations

European-ness as an identity was invented to unite christian Europe against the dark "Saracens" from the east. The identity itself means nothing if there is no menacing other that it has to be defined against.

I remember I was talking to this chick from Russia. I said something about Russia being in Asia, and she immediately said something like, "No! We're European!"

I no ching chong papi

By that logic india should be it's own continent since it's on it's own tectonic plate separate from the rest of asia.
That would also make Greenland part of north america instead of europe.

India is called a subcontinent for a reason.
And Greenland is part of North America, it’s just colony of a European country.
