Please define what western chauvinism means, since it’s your original term. This is the context of the discussion.

This is integral to the discussion of cultures and invalidates cultural braggadocio.

As an atheist, I'm quite comfortable with such things, but as a fundamentalist Christian, he's not supposed to be buying into it.

Originally posted by Roy View PostNorman culture didn't practice slavery. The closest thing they had was serfdom, but while the lives of serfs were controlled by the local lords and they were often considered to belong to an estate, they could own property and weren't treated as possessions and sold as goods. While slavery existed in Britain before and during the Roman occupation and persisted for some time afterwards, it ceased after the Norman conquest.

One glaring example is the great evil visited on the Anglo-Saxon population by the Norman Conquest of 1066. By any standard, the effect on indigenous English society was enduring devastation. Through war, invasion and genocide, the Anglo-Saxon ruling class was almost entirely replaced, control of the church and state surrendered to foreign adversaries, English replaced by Norman French as the language of government, and England’s entire political, social and cultural orientation shifted from Northern Europe to the continent for the next thousand years.That's what
