‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a Greenlandic woman from her children

You're viewing a single thread.
And here I thought the US was the one that treated our indigenous citizens like crap
You do realize the people doing that in the US all came from Europe
Fair counterpoint. I should have but did not
Show me one place where indigenous people aren't treated like crap by the government
Haiti. The indigenous people were wiped out through disease and slavery.
Also good point. I guess New Zealand has been making strides by they are still having issues.
Just funny to note because a lot of Americans view Europe as like this Ultra free place that has none of the issues the US has.
New Zealand recently just punished three politicians harshly for doing the Haka. They were protesting a proposed law to strip special constitutional privileges for the Maori stemming from the original colonial treaties. Those old British colonizers were apparently too respectful to the rights of the indigenous people for modern conservatives.
I did say strides but having issues. At least they have indigenous representation. US def doesnt
We usually don't have these issues because we experimented away from home.
Why not both (and many other countries too)?
So you don't really pay attention to the rest of world history, huh.
Jokes really do go over your heads down under don't they.
Also have you seen the tragedy that is the American school system? I am lucky I can read and write, forget knowing the history of a British penal colony.
Greenland. British penal colony.
Ok.
For some reason I think I was referring to Australia. Not sure why
Must be a fondness of non sequiturs
