RACISM: ABORIGINALS

An apology is good; money, better

The Indian children in Canada were dragged to Christian schools where they were forced to forget their indigenous culture, language, religion and customs. They were separated from their families, leading to drug abuse and personality disorders. Some 1,60,000 students passed through these religious schools between mid-1800s to late 1960s.

Ergo, is an apology well started? Yes! Enough? Absolutely not! Governments must encourage unequal advancement of the socio-economic development of these groups. And why? Statistics by UN as well as global governments clearly prove that these groups have low records in all socio-economic indicators – be it education, health or economic conditions.
