Socratic Seminar on Orientalism 2.261. Why do many people in our our society view

Carlton Banks negatively?2. Was Macaulay’s “Minute on Education” a piece of

condescending racism or a helpful, beneficial law for Indians?(Does it give them more opportunities, or does it take away their culture?)

3. Even though they executed criminals, did the British harm Indian culture by destroying the “thuggees”?

4. Do blacks in America “give up” their culture by having to speak formal “white” English in school?
