@jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @s1m0n4@ohai.social @RubenWA@social.vivaldi.net From what I gather, this mostly started because it was a better economic investment to import malaria-resistant African slaves into the New World plantations than poor European serfs who lacked malaria resistance. And then the Spanish needed to come up with a theological justification why this was morally okay, that "Curse of Ham" nonsense was developed, and everything snowballed from there.
