And to think that native Americans and our own Aboriginals are being punished and banned from work to this day for not assimulating to the white man's vaccine

Very ghoulish how the ABC always keeps regurgitating these types of stories.

Same thing happened in Australia with our indigenous. Why do white men feel the need to control and destroy the native culture. What purpose does it serve? I am Caucasian and I am disgusted and ashamed of how the indigenous in many countries were treated.

Think about your past before you talk others.

The worse case was the genocide on Indians!!! After killed all of those children's parent then assimilation policies. 🩸🇺🇸❤️‍🔥
