not much of a history buff myself
there was this whole ‘stolen generation’ event here where we were like kidnapping their children and trying to breed them with white people, it was dark
I posted this on the perthchat [matrix] and got:
To put it bluntly Genocide We're still digging up unmarked graves of Indigenous children So I would be very wary of the statistic about how the majority died In fact, that is not something I was ever taught, the smallpox reasoning Sounds like a handwashing exercisegood to hear that there are teachers are not mindlessly parroting propaganda
