... and Eastern societies too have a heritage of discrimination etc - this
west bad/ east good thing is too easy a hook to hang generalizations onto -
words like collective inhumanity don't take into account those that did not
agree with such acts in the countries that undertook slavery etc the
difference in class consciousness etc ...people and nations - the
geo-politics - are more complex -

Subject: A heritage of discrimination.
Western society has a heritage of discrimination, part
of that heritage is the action of slavery. Many ships
were used to enable the process of slavery, however only one British slave
ship is preserved, it can be seen in Liverpool as an example of our
collective inhumanity.
Europeans have used wheelchairs since 1531. We only need to preserve one
building inaccessible (to wheelchair users) built after that date (per
country) as a similar example as the Liverpool slave ship. The only problem
is which building?
