I've listened to numerous Europeans describe the Roma - online and in real life. America is not pure on the violence and racism aspect, but it's less like the pot calling the kettle black and more like the grey felt calling the BLK 3.0 black.

In the end, there are people alive today who escaped the European 250k/month killings. Nothing comparable in the US.



This is disingenuous because the US has massive problems with its ethnic minorities today, never-mind in the past. With mass incarceration and funky electoral borders being used to disenfranchise people.


250k/month killed is a staggering number. You have to do a lot of funky electoral borders before you even come close to that kind of sin.


> 250k/month killed is a staggering number.

There were 250k to 500k roma people killed by nazis, in total, so idk how the "per month" thing is relevant here.

America was built on genocides and constructed in large part by salves, not much to boast about
