19th century European "civilisation" edit

@Pigsonthewing: Thank you for adding the quotation marks to footnote f. As you may have guessed, I had concentrated the less pleasant parts of a formal Latin oration down to brief plain English for shock effect. The original includes such phrases as tribus nigricolorum feroces and nigricolores nudi.

In 1843, Fornasini wrote "The men spend their days sleeping, dancing, and making war, while the women do all the work". There's so much in that statement that it's difficult to work out where to start. Narky Blert (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
