"Simping for" is fundamentally different from being interested in the history of. In some cases, quite the opposite.

I spent some time researching the legal frameworks of American slavery, and a ton of time on racist laws between Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in large part because I think that it is under reported just how racist the origins of a lot of our day to day lives are. So when I'm deep in the weeds on racist history, it's often because I can see the parallels today and don't want to reinvent the wheel on stamping out the pockets of racism I actually have the power to change.
