I learned in public chool that the reason for this was the earth's curve and a superiority complex of Europeans as they dominated the world through colonialism. Now I know that this is to make white countries seem larger than they are and to make whites people seem like less of a global minority.

The whole point of the projection is so that lines of longitude have constant distance from each other.
This is so that with a map, a sextant, and a watch, you can correctly navigate shortest distance paths across the globe.
That's it. The map is that way because of boats. Trying to read more or less into it is retarded.
