    I did learn about the Native American genocide in school.

    Are there schools where this isn’t taught?

      I was taught it in New York, seems odd to omit it from American history. Wouldn’t surprise me if other states didn’t. Education is super politicized here.

        It’s not necessarily a topic that comes up every day, but I can’t think of a single time I’ve ever met a person who didn’t know about it. It’s never happened that someone has said “Wait what? What are you talking about?” when the genocide comes up.

Posted up inside of a Democratic enclave in the US, who genuinely does not understand that their experience as an American might be somewhat unusual, or at least not an experience of the majority.
