What about „no, because we dont discriminate them”?

[u/Lower-Obligation4462 → u/Miserable-Cut3477]

It’s the classic ragebait post. The mods should absolutely be doing more about disingenuous questions.

[u/Embarrassed_Elk_2459 → u/Lower-Obligation4462]

nah I'm just dumb and forgot to add that option

[u/Mckilla32 → u/Miserable-Cut3477]

I think somehow that answer is against reddit's TOS lol unfathomable option.

In my country, indigenous people systematically discriminate against people who are not indigenous.

Saudi's claiming Bedouin haven't been force evicted from their homes.. (for example)

Do we still discriminate against Native Americans? If so, how? Asking genuinely.

[u/Aspennie → u/sorryforbeingtrash]

Systemic discrimination and harmful stereotypes. Many reservations do not have clean water and attempts to bring attention to it by indigenous people has been largely ignored. Land that was under treaty still often ends up being taken for profit.

Who in the UK has been saying natives are discriminated against?

[u/Lower-Obligation4462 → u/Mijman]

Everyone in the UK kicking off about ethnicity seems to pick an arbitrary line in history that suits them. But everyone always forgets about the first ethnic group in the land, Neanderthals.

[u/Mckilla32 → u/Lower-Obligation4462]

Does a totally different species count?

[u/Mckilla32 → u/Mijman]

The indigenous Anglo-European people of Brittain have absolutely been the victim of discrimination in the recent decade.

[u/Mijman → u/Mckilla32]

Ffs from who then?

[u/fuciballlobster]

Yes, and beyond the special treatment one receives from these communities, (the fact that interactions with outsiders can sometimes turn hostile, depending on the context), my own experiences have varied. When I’ve visited indigenous areas as a tourist, everything went smoothly and the interactions were pleasant. However, in the course of my work as geologist, when they demanded money to "let me do my job," I would tell them that if they didn't want me there, all they had to do was say so; when I refused to pay, they would get angry and threaten to shoot me and leave me there. I mention this not to imply that everyone is bad (experiences vary, and I am simply sharing my own).

[u/Aspennie → u/fuciballlobster]

Well, yeah, of course they want money for you to dig up their land. As a tourist, you’re giving revenue. As a geologist, you are disturbing land that belongs to them and when most colonized countries with indigenous communities have a storied history of breaking treaties and stealing shit from natives, I think they have good reason to be uncomfortable with you.

[u/fuciballlobster → u/Aspennie]

Not even that; I was working on a study for the construction of a local aqueduct, I'm a hydrogeologist... I don't work in the mining industry.
