History is a precarious science, and accuracy in it matters! Even when a misconception or myth feels like it doesn't really have any meaning beyond the interests of history nerds like you and me, it's entirely possible that it contains within it much deeper negative implications. In this video, I discuss two such myths that dont' feel terribly consequential on their surface- but which are indicative of pretty big issues within history-minded communities!
