You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it's kind of sad how accurate it is...

Oh good, it wasn’t just me
Had someone I grew up with call their white friend a caregiver and me (black) a drug dealer. Both grow weed. I don't talk to that bitch anymore
Close encounters of the racist kind is a good read. Here's the most relevant part:
Consider the H2 series “In Search of Aliens,” which, before its demise, promoted the work of Jan Udo Holey, a German writer whose antisemitic books have been banned across Europe. (Holey’s pen name, Jan Van Helsig, is a blunt Dracula reference, i.e. Jews are bloodsuckers.) The History Channel’s long-running series “Ancient Aliens,” meanwhile, features David Childress, whose books cite and build on the work of James Churchward, who promoted an ancient empire called the “lost continent of Mu,” whose “dominant race” was an “exceedingly handsome people, with clear white or olive skin.”
The history channel is entry level nazi propaganda.
The Hitler channel.
Wow, I knew the "History" Channel was a trainwreck, but didn't know it was that bad.
Quinton Reviews did a whole ass documentary on it. The best thing to come out of it was his "Just because white people couldn't do it doesn't mean it was aliens" shirt which, fun fact, his previous provider refused to stock it so he switched to a less racist company and that shirt instantly became a best seller, blowing the sales of everything else completely out of the water.
Honestly I see it in actual historians too. Texts always have something along the lines of "yes, the [insert non-European civilization] had _, but only Europeans went far enough to _"
Shit like how ancient civilizations had invented calculus, calculated pi to several digits, observed the cosmos, etc. but it's only the ancient Greeks who contributed to history apparently. Seems unprofessional as hell. It's not that dissimilar to white supremacists who say " everyone practiced slavery, but only Europeans abolished it"
It's often linked to some geographic or cultural uniqueness of Europe, like how they didn't have famines or shit and so they were able to be creative about nature that wasn't chaotic and devastating.
MFW 80% of pink pipo wouldn't exist if a Chinese guy didn't invent the heavy plow
(possibly the biggest China L ever undertaken)

That just makes it even more embarrassing that they had to import all their math from the east
" everyone practiced slavery, but only Europeans abolished it"
The same chuds will froth and foam about The Lost Cause, too. Because it was terrible that it was abolished but also abolishing it (except for prisoners) was great white wisdom 
I remember this one alien dude who had the audacity to suggest that a bunch of Roman stuff was also built by aliens
the dislike bar on that video was a quarter red kek, hoes mad
Is that accurate tho? I tried watching that show, but even high as fuck i was just too annoyed by these wackjobs.
I used to live getting high and watching ancient aliens. Those motherfuckers were so earnestly stupid, I found it really entertaining. That was 15 years ago, so the show probably got much worse as time went on, given the limited nature of the subject.
