because this has nothing to do with concentration camps, and everything to do with the American government and government related massacres in America?
I mean, if you want to bring concentration camps into this, we can start talking about why a majority of the American prison population is black and are used as life long slave labor.
no, but for a long time Irish, Italians, Germans etc… weren’t white, until they needed to increase the size of “whites” because there weren’t enough WASPS to outnumber POC
That’s a borderline insult, and you reported them for misinformation when what they’re saying is how it really was.
I think the confusion is they’re talking about what really happened, and you’re acting like they’re saying it was right.
“White” was expanded in America to include Irish and Italians.
As they lost the majority, they’d let in more groups to maintain the majority. No one is saying that made logical sense, and those lines are arbitrary.

TIL 38.7% > 61.3%
oh ya, i forgot, for some reason we keep adding new groups to “white” to keep a majority in anything
LMFAO even if you decide to arbitrarily exclude all other minorities from our total for no reason at all, Blacks still aren’t the majority.

Got it, white people aren’t people with white skin but all people with dark skin are black people. Understood, sir.
yup, “white” is a completely artificial concept that originated in America (as in the continent) as part of the slave trade justification.
not even the Nazis had this “white” concept, in fact European racism is not along the lines of skin color
