    Good thing we haven’t and don’t do anything like that in Canada. Like coerced sterilization of indeginous women until 2018.

    I’ve lived in Israel and Lebanon, though young at the time. The conflict isn’t an easy one with an “X group is correct/more correct” solution. Both groups have very legitimate grievances, have been genocided, and have done shit things to each other

      Come to think of it, Native people fall outside the bubble for the most part themselves. Some of those reservations might as well be in a cold version of Africa, and I’ve only seen them on TV.

        What does “a cold version of Africa” mean? Are you talking about distance, or some other factor?

          Bad conditions. No drinking water, unsuitable structures, things like that. And all fairly invisible to white people, because they might be remote, or just not a place we ever need to go.
