They usually intentionally forget the past's bad parts, hence the "return to a mythical past". My great-grandfather didn't had 8-10 siblings bcause his parents wanted to outbreed the Roma (European People of Color), but because many didn't live until childhood. In fact, he's a single one, who lived to adulthood.
