*sighs* i picked the 40s
#to clear this up#i am white#and i was making a self deprecating joke#about how watching captain america is the reason i got into wwii history#not trying to condescend to anyone#at no point did i say poc can’t be interested in wwii#i am genuinely sorry if you thought that’s what i meant#i went to a college in the south with a supermajority of white students because they gave me great financial aid#so only a few of my friends are people of color#i didn’t want to generalize about poc interests#especially not in a joke#hence my saying ‘young white people’ instead of just ‘gen z’ as a whole#i did not pick wwi thinking it said wwii#i picked the 40s because i am very interested in wwii and have actually done independent research on the subject#i’m not limiting the 40’s to wwii#that’s just the part of the decade#that i personally am most interested in#my favorite book i’ve read about the war is ‘a woman of no importance’ about the spy virginia hall#recently i’ve gotten interested in the african front#because it was glossed over in school#unlike the european and pacific theaters#i have observed my dad and a lot of his friends who were born in the 50s#discussing books about the civil war on a consistent basis#and i thought it was interesting that my friend groups’ interests mirror that#it’s cool to wonder if gen alpha might develop an interest in the korean war or vietnam war#(vietnam also interests me a lot)#it would’ve been very nice to talk about our shared interest in the world wars#the genocide conventions sound fascinating
