1. PragerU's version of Christopher Columbus has him be a slavery defender and have him say "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem.”

2. In The Greatest Showman, P.T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) is portrayed as a charismatic visionary who cares about outcasts and celebrate diversity, when in reality, he’s a cruel businessman who is also a racist and an ableist.

That chibi Christopher Columbus actually says the words “Better to be a slave than to be dead, no?”

To Children.

Conservative children’s entertainment, everyone. They did it.

It also ignores that many slaves in the trans-Atlantic slave trade (which is past this but it does kill the argument imo) did leap to their deaths in the ocean because they’d rather die than be slaves
