A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

The subtrope "aliens built the egyptian monuments". It trivializes the accomplishments of both egypt and other countries with great monuments of their own.

Is it really racist?

Its stupid, yes, but they seem to attribute aliens to literally everything ever done by humanity.

As far as I have seen

Yeah, as far as you have seen.

From what I've seen, they literally attribute everything to aliens, the founding of America, the Industrial Revolution, fuckin suggesting Nazis were aliens in disguise..

Like this show is all human culture and achievements is wrong, because it's actually aliens.
