I saw that was happening elsewhere in Asia as well. Saddened me to see folks in Thailand doing it, as I like that place.

@Beowulfsfriend Eh it’s a different story for them and as long as they’re not touting the whole genocide thing then I can only be but so offended especially after the individuals I encountered in Charlottesville.

@Closeted It’s probably because they were dealing with their own history in India at that time.
It’s the one American arrogance that we don’t understand that we’re guilty of and that’s expecting people from other countries to be aware of or knowledgeable of our history or things that we think is great about us.

While not having a clue about theirs and I don’t think that most people choose not to know but when we’re raised to believe that every event in our own countries are historic or monumental we naturally expect other’s to have some knowledge of it.

Just if she’d ask you about the government act of 1858 which resulted in nearly one hundred years of British rule.
I only know of it because I did a paper about the coordinated imperialism between Britain and America.
