And you assuming that I as an American am incapable of recognizing a tragic genocidal situation without some emotional historic point of comparison to my own nations history.
As far as being an equivalent comparison your incorrect. What was done to blacks in the African slave trade years was monumentally worse that what is happening to North Koreans. They are not being hunted and shipped to a different hemisphere to suffer a life of abuse and servitude.
My issue is I suggest you broaden your use of comparisons to a broader intellectually audience. One that does not need to highlight one nations particular failures. Unless that particular nation is involved in a current issue. Rather instead assume your audience is educated enough that you do not need to make oversimplified emotional comparisons to achieve your point.
As well as likely other points.
Your right I’m being a dick about it.
That is I’m tired as an American for being used as the litmus test for societal failures. This is an issue in the US today domestically and I’m not going to let it go anymore. I suggest you broaden your boarders a bit. Americans are not stupid. We recognize genocide and oppression without grade school equivalencies.
And as I pointed out your comparison to start with is not an equivalent. Our crimes in the slave trade were much worse than NK.
