With regards to the white European privilege, I think it's interesting to see how that was constructed differently in various parts of the world. The salt tax in India feels like a completely different issue from, say, apartheid in South Africa. It really outlines the depths those people went to create and build their privilege in more than one area.

I have a feeling people are lucky to live in New York to even have that much detail in their classes. It's certainly more than I would've expected in general in the US. Even a week on Indian history is more than we got in my school.
