Why does this book trigger non-whites so hard?

Isn't the moral that darkness and evil can be found in all skin colors? That's literally the opposite of racism.

Actually goes against the current narrative. Racism=Abuse of institutional power, which minorities don't have, therefore they are incapable of being truly racist and their abuses are mitigated by socioeconomic factors.

Achebe's problem is that the Africans in that story were just props to tell a story about a white guy instead of actual characters and that the story perpetuates a "civilized white Europe" vs "savage black Africa" dichotomy

Yeah, but you're probably not black. You're probably some mestizo Central American, Indian, or Arab.

No shit. They are the races that know not to relax around coons.

It's pretty retarded to complain about colonialism. It perpetuates the colonizer/colonized distinction. The issue with that is the colonized themselves only existed as a result of long unrecorded histories of "colonizing" (or just conquesting) themselves. There was no moral flaw the West was guilty of that the conquered weren't. Except perhaps self righteousness.

Which is true unless you believe in the noble savage myth

Hedging this in in quotes does not make the descriptors any less true.

The West was only guilty of recording events that future Jews would then use against them to take over their empires.

Other civilizations just had the expedient of having a morality consistent with their desires
