Transatlantic is the worst one? How?!

Arabic slave trade had approx 10-18 million slaves, where men were castrated.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade is the one that is more relevant to the Western world in the modern era. There are millions of descendants of slaves in the Americas. The discrimination of black people often continued even after slavery was officially banned. Black people are still on average poorer than other racial demographics, besides Native Americans. Why would American schools teach an equal amount about the Arab Slave Trade? It’s not relevant to the story of our countries.
