    I get what you’re saying, but I personally don’t find it tiring. It’s just a part of contextualizing history. I think of it as a reminder of the progress we’ve made (I hope) - that we can put an asterisk beside someone’s name in the history books.

    Kind of like how it’s impossible to talk about the history of hypothermia research without acknowledging its grossly unethical source.

      Oh you mean actually learning from history to prevent repeating atrocities
