He says it is "not science". Actually, deriving knowledge from experimentation is exactly what empirical science is.

The trade in human skulls from the colonial era - A disturbing legacy | DW Documentary
Quote
"African human skull, early 20th century, 2,000 euros." Adverts like this can be seen on social media. The trade is legal in Germany, even when the skulls date from the German colonial era.

This reportage reveals the questionable nature of this trade in skulls -- especially when their origin becomes clear. Thousands of human skulls were shipped to Germany during the colonial era, in a bid to support so-called racial research theories. Some of them came from plundered graves, or were cut from the dead. For dealers at a market for curiosities on the German-Belgian border, the violent backstory is even made into a selling point.

Customs expert Daniel Bein says the trade in human skulls is not prohibited per se. But politicians are now evaluating the issue, and plan to introduce legislation that will ban private trade in human skulls and bones.

The filmmakers conduct research at home and abroad, visit an international market for human skulls, meet one of the largest dealers in London and speak to buyers in Germany. They also accompany people who are themselves searching for the skulls of their ancestors, to bring them back to their homeland.

A Westerner will be quick to point out how the indigenous "cannabilistic savages" of the jungle need be civilized via Judeo-Christianity, whilst themselves being the most ignoble savages that have ever existed...

An ethical US government would make Yale the national property of India. Then it could offer to buy it back from India. This would in effect return the stolen money to India effectively adjusted for inflation. Finally, it should rename the university.

"Every Indian-origin American should seek the destruction of Yale."

What you should be seeking the destruction of is not the university (see above), but the bloodline:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Yale_family



Additionally, you could seek the destruction of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elihu_Club

Quote
Elihu Club or Elihu is the fourth oldest senior society at Yale University, New Haven, CT.[1][2][3] It was founded in 1903 and takes its name from Elihu Yale.[4][5][3]
...
In 1911, the club purchased a colonial-era house which looks out on the New Haven Green.[14][15] It is considered a landed society because it owns a building on campus.[16] Like the other societies, the organization's building is typically closed to non-members.
...
This house is the oldest of all of Yale's secret society buildings, and purportedly one of the oldest original structures in the United States still in regular use. Its brick basement is older still, constructed in the early 17th century, and later frequented by colonists sympathetic to the English cause when it became known as the Tory Tavern, a central locale of the Revolutionary War.[27]
...
Originally, Elihu had no limit on the number of members that could be tapped in a given year; its only rule was that these men not be a member of the other secret societies: Scroll and Key, Skull and Bones, and Wolf's Head.[8]
...
Joseph Lieberman was courted by Skull and Bones
...
Lieberman rejected Bones in favor of Elihu
...
Jacob Weisberg, was offered membership in Skull and Bones
...
Weisberg was persuaded by Robert G. Kaiser to join Elihu instead.[34]

Recall:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lieberman

Quote
His family is Jewish; his paternal grandparents emigrated from Congress Poland and his maternal grandparents were from Austria-Hungary.[9]
...
Lieberman was a strong advocate for the war in Iraq.[138] He was also a strong supporter of the U.S.-Israel relationship.[139]
...
Lieberman described himself as being "genuinely an Independent", saying "I agree more often than not with Democrats on domestic policy. I agree more often than not with Republicans on foreign and defense policy."[145]
...
Lieberman expressed support for Israel in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and praised "the quiet and effective diplomacy of President Biden, who was not drawn in by the left of the Democratic Party to essentially take a stand against Israel."[154]

As for Weisberg, the Zionist bias of Slate is common knowledge.

Yale University was founded with money looted from Bharat. Elihu Yale was a clerk in the East India Company's Madras office. He amassed so much wealth through corruption, slave trade and loot that the British fired him. The Collegiate School of Connecticut requested Yale for funds to avert insolvency. Yale agreed and they named the college after him.

Every Indian-origin American should seek the destruction of Yale. Alas, studying at Ivy Leagues is seen as a status marker for Indian origin Americans.

Nearly all the world history books produced during the 1980s and early 1990s that Bentley examines focus on how Europeans came to establish economic, cultural, and ecological hegemony over the world and how non-European cultures sometimes “succumbed” to European “numbers, weapons, and disease” but occasionally fought heroically against European “deculturation.” Among his favourites is Daniel Headrick’s three-volume Tools of Empire: Technology and European Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century; The Tentacles of Progress: Technology Transfer in the Age of Imperialism, 1850–1940; and The Invisible Weapon: Telecommunications and International Politics, 1851– 1945. He says of these volumes that they “explore the technological dimension of European imperialism….how Europeans rapidly extended their influence throughout the world during the age of the new imperialism” (19). Even books on the history of tiny islands, informed by ethnographic insights such as Greg Dening’s Islands and Beaches: Discourses on a Silent Land: Marquesas, 1774–1880 (1988) and David Hanlon’s Upon a Stone Altar: A History of the Island of Pohnpei to 1890 (1988), are celebrated as “world histories” insomuch as they discuss how “Europeans approached the islands in large numbers equipped with firearms, alcohol, and exotic diseases,” and how the cultures of these islands were destroyed by white settlements, weapons, and diseases (25). Works on the indigenous peoples of North America are also listed as insightful studies of a hemispheric encounter that “brought demographic collapse, ecological imbalance, dependence on trade goods from abroad, heightened intertribal tensions, psychological despair, alcoholism, and deculturation” (26).

Europeans love to deny genocides.

Mostly because they make them look bad.

So, I thought I’ll compile a continuous list because I’m kinda all for it when Europeans are remembered for who they really are: pale monsters.
