Agreed. I went on a YouTube binge on pre-Indo-European genetics and culture, human haplogroup tracking etc. There were a bunch of white nationalist comments, everything from the "superior culture" of the Indo-Europeans that killed the Stonehenge inhabitants to outright racism in the Bantu expansion videos. I guess people look this stuff up because they're obsessed with proving their historical birthright or superiority or something, but man I just wanted to learn paleontology..

The YouTube recommendations after that binge made my feed quite unpleasant.
