Horrifying, how much the genocide/ethnic cleansing of native peoples are in many ways still ongoing. There was also the issue, starting way back in the 19th century, of taking Native children and sending them away to live in schools where they are forcibly Christianized and given to white families to be raised. Apparently, a form of this continues to today. Horrible, horrible, stomach churning stuff. This sort of thing happened in Australia as well.
Indeed. There is the problem, right there. I do think that family is important and having a big, supportive, tightknit family can be a wonderful thing. But if that family doesn’t love and accept difference, then a lot of non-conforming individuals get hurt.
Exactly! Well said!
