@vg7735 ….😶. Okay. So happens, maybe thankfully, I have not experienced such mentioned culture’s debilitating influence in Australia, parts of Apartheid South Africa, Canada, Caribbean, North America, nor New Zealand.
Yet, I have lived through the European domination that dictates what constitutes acceptable “norms” when referring to clothing, hairstyles, food choices, beauty (or lack there of), income, entertainment, and an overall standard for living.
In my world, based on my experience, again, thankfully, no Asian nor Middle Easterners have subjected native populations to reserved areas with structural racism binding EVERY aspect of their lives. However, such is not the case in other places in the world when such mentioned cultures have damaged entire societies.
With such an understanding, I would suggest the culprit that must then be addressed are those possibly wealthy people groups who operate as if their wealth equates success: this is not truth. This is especially not truth when success hinges on and depends upon one culture belittling our fellow human beings. Again, it is time to rethink the standard defining what qualifies as a civilized society. Sadly, the majority of indigenous peoples are somehow defined as “marginalized” by the marginal groups dominating wealth rather than human inclusion.
