Not in high school and not in college. Now I know why. It's an embarrassing reminder that the white man is the conqueror, a violent, mean-spirited race that will take what it wants, including life, without remorse.

Truly sad set of stories, that we still seem to portray today, we white men. Ashamed of that part of my heritage.
