    I thought we were trying to define what counts as genocide, not what this article is about. Which are we doing?

      None of the above? Are you getting confused between comment threads?

      You said:

      I’m saying that when your country is invaded, worrying about respecting the people who’s culture is the same as the invader’s is a great way to get a bunch of fifth columnists. And I’m not sure why you’re not aware of that. Similarly, despite the many British people of German heritage, in 1939, their “unique British-German culture” was not relevant and was not respected and should not have been.

      Which I pointed out was the same logic behind Japanese internment camps.

      Everything else had been about the article, including speaking Russian in Odessa. I think you’re arguing genocide on another thread?

        Okay, so if we’re neither talking about what counts as genocide or the article then this part makes no sense:

        Everything else had been about the article

        Which is it?

          Are you high?

          Just read the comment thread, pay attention to usernames.

          No idea where you’re getting genocide from my comments.

            You have no idea where I’m getting genocide from your comments about Japanese internment camps? Really?
