Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

Reducing the reservations and residential schools to speaking English is minimising the genocide commited against Native Americans: might I suggest that you're projecting when you throw around phrases like "doesn't know" and "fucking idiot"?

Might I suggest you learn some fuckin manners when being educated?

Kill the Indian, save the man. Is a form of genocide and is often cited as an example of quiet genocides that are meant to erase culture.

Within 70 years Tibet decided to abandon their cultural language?

That's erasure you fucking idiot.

This is what I mean about projecting, your lack of manners have gotten you banned, while mine have been beyond reproach.

You're just an overdramatic American Exceptionalist that doesn't want to confront your personal complicity in multiple genocides, so you point at a small cultural shift elsewhere in the world and pretend it's the same thing. You try to hide your racism in progressive language but you really suck at it and your claims fall apart under the slightest scrutiny, so you have to attack the person, but you don't know what their failings are so you screech out the ones you know; your own.

As with the genocide of native Americans, you're now minimising the Indian genocides - there was far, far more to it than simply speaking English, and it's gross that you would draw an equivalence between the 100's of millions of dead Indians and speaking Chinese.
