No history is being changed. Stop manufacturing outrage. You can and will be able to continue learning about Magellan all the same.

    Yes it is. 1800s were damn racist time. Yet in new TV shows you see people other than white to be a regular part of high society. It is dumbing down history. Just an example.

    Are you getting your information from fictional TV shows? You know they're all actors right? None of them were actually there? Most of them aren't even the right nationality? And they didn't have TV back then?

    These are not the same fucking things, at all. And what show are you seeing set in the 1800's where non-whites are in high society (in the U.S.)? Most shows go out of their way to show how difficult marginalized groups lives were.
