Now replace all instances of "black" and "Africa/African" with "white" and "Europe/European" and vice versa, and tell me if it sounds racist to you.

For many, White Cougar is more than just another blockbuster; it is a cultural moment. AryanLand could be a visualisation of that white utopia pan-Europeans have dreamed of. White Cougar is the beautiful aesthetic climax of just that ideology, says Boyd-Pates. That paradigm of white people that exceeds the expectations of black civilisation, that places white people in a place similar in their minds to what they always felt they were robbed of, and connects them back to the motherland in a way no colonial effort could ever undermine.

You're right in that the first part of it "white utopia" sounds racist, but the rest of it imagines a world where white people are not the majority.
Unfortunately white people and black people do not have an equal history.

It's a common misconception that acknowledging these differences means that you're racist. It's why some people struggle to understand why there's a black history month.
