And to most of the world, mummies are schlocky horror movie monsters. Doesn't mean stories should just ignore the unfortunate implications about Egyptian culture in their portrayal. Since when is minority viewpoint something to be invalidated because it's the minority?

I mean, I have no doubt Tini Howard did see it as just British vs. British. That just circles back to the original criticisms about how it's a story about British matters from someone who only demonstrates a surface understanding of them.

But I don't really want to dwell on the point because it's not the most important part. Even ignoring the whole English angle, it's still a story finding a justification for essentially annexing another nation.
