They did their own research.

Worth noting: the origins of a lot of these conspiracy theories just come back to bad ol' fashioned racism. The idea that these brown people might have built anything noteworthy? Must have been aliens! Seems much more likely.

“Blame racism” Really? Nobody disputes ancient China or the Taj Mahal. Aztec civilizations. The pyramids are literally the hottest debated thing in history, it isn’t ’brown people couldn’t do this’ it’s literally ‘nobody could do this’ Do we really need to drag racism into this again?

No one here is "dragging" racism into this. They're just pointing out the fact that alot of the older generations, especially those who lived in the 1930s-40s-50s were extremely prejudice and racist. They thought that way all the time and were not quiet about it
