I am not convinced “a wrong-sized Africa” was a deliberate racist endeavour. I mean, why bother doing something this petty or ridiculous? Explorers literally used a quill and drew what they saw whilst leaning over the side of a ship (we collectively owe these people so much – with the caveat that the East possessed its map-makers as well). Old maps of the UK look “like the UK” – although the shape is highly distorted whilst remaining mostly correct (the general idea can be worked with). Remember, there was no viewing from high above, except for the odd hill. Let accuracy reign. As regards the UN – it vary rarely condemns the US or Israel for the crimes those regimes routinely commit (the UN has ruled that Israel is committing “Genocide” in Gaza – but only after South Africa initiated legal action against Tel Aviv) – and when both these countries illegally attacked Iran – the UN criticised Iran for daring to “defend itself”. When the US bombed a school and murdered 168 school-girls (more than the number of countries that voted for the map-change) – the UN said “nothing”. When the US bombed a wedding in Iran – the UN said “nothing”. It would seem that the “moral compass” of the UN needs fixing.
