Toot

Reading about the first opium war and came across what seemed an interesting contrary take, but the author lost me with this sentence.

I wonder which of Queen Victoria being:

• young

• a woman

• recently assuming the role she’d trained half her life for

• recently married

had any relevance whatsoever to how involved the British head of state was in foreign policy at that time…

I kind of feel the implicit bias here indicates the risk of implicit bias in the rest of the analysis…
