Topic: I want to upload this but...

Well, I thought I'd do a discussion of it first. Why?

Let's see, there are a bunch of fiction-writers out there who I am sure will try to create counterparts for various human races (ahem! "ethnicities") in their story worlds, so for their reference, this map contains the distribution of said human races according to circa 1890 racist white people.

The map's in German ethnicities listed are "Caucasian" races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites), "Mongolian" races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian), and "Negroid" races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, "Negrito", Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese).

okay, so it's not worth uploading but hell, you can have a field day making up shit with this. Just remember that even "admirable" animal species are possessive of negative qualities and animal species that are not-so-admired have positive qualities, so if someone finds out you deliberately did what is suggested here, you're gonna get called a racist and you're probably gonna be a little racist even if your fantasy story depicts Africans as lionmen

also you can add these new words to art with humans in them for no reasons any other human will ever understand. Or to annoy people by being racist with words that are most certainly not in a typical skinhead's dictionary.

This site is for furry artwork. Not so much for maps.

But non-furry content isn't explicitly forbidden. I'd assume it's fine, one or two pictures isn't anything to make a big fuss about.

I know that non-furry is cool here, but that pretty much just goes for artwork. I'm not sure going into an atlas, scanning various maps, and uploading them is fruitful.

If you have to develop reasons/excuses why a particular image should be accepted, then it probably doesn't belong here. While it's an interesting piece of history it doesn't exactly fir the archive's theme...

This is a furry website. This is not the place to discuss what you learned in Geography class today.

I think the link is good enough. You've pretty much just posted the picture. Congrats.

I found this well informed and enjoyable. I am glad this was posted.
