in what way? full scale is over 400 years, 1619 to 1865 is almost 250 of that, 1865 to 1964 is 99 of that, and 1964 to 2024 is 60 of that

Unfortunately, it is. I didn’t spent more than a minute so it’s not pixel perfect, but the scale looks correct!

Real question from someone outside US. Why does the “segregation” is not “apartheid”?

Apartheid is an internationally recognized crime against humanity and America never admits to its own crimes against humanity.

Huh…I…never thought of that; actually yeah, this was apartheid. Miscegenation laws in the mix there too.

It’s only apartheid if it’s from South Africa, otherwise it’s sparkling segregation.
