Solid critique given the caveats he gave beforehand about being British-centric.
I particularly enjoy the way he describes his own experience of ignorance about the atrocities and what beforehand. I literally got my bachelor's in African History because I felt like the American public school system taught me a criminally negligible amount about the continent.
Had the school system been more adequate, I would have probably majored in what I do now, computer science. But that feeling of frustration and "need to know" literally had me waste thousands and thousands of dollars and 4 years of my life that could've been more efficiently used. There are real consequences to people's lives when you keep them ignorant.
