marginalized groups

[00:00:00]This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now and this portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator's control are two statements that can and should absolutely coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media. The thing you have to keep in mind about Moby Richard is that it's an explicitly anti-racist text written by a white guy in the 1850s. So you end up with stuff like Ishmael spending an entire paragraph complimenting a Polynesian guy on his skull's shape.
