Don’t ask the UK anything about their troubling history with black people or slavery unless it’s to mention that they were one of the first countries to stop making black people property. They get really mad if you mention anything but that.
FTFY: Don’t ask the UK anything about their troubling history
with black peopleUK history with anyone else is better not to be talked about
UK(and friends) drew a lot of very questionable lines on a lot of maps.

Nazi gold??
Yes. About 200 million USD worth. Trading with the fascists is a stain that will remain on our history for a long time.
It sure will, considering it’s still ongoing - your country just replaced Nazi gold with Russian gold.
Ackshully all gold trade with Russia was stopped the second they launched their full scale invasion of Ukraine. We’re implementing the same sanctions as the EU.
The Canadian government about the canadian indian residential school system
The Iran government about Salman Rushdie
The Mexican government about Ayotzinapas 43
The British government about their museums
The German government about their car manufacturers.
The Indian government about Aasif Sultan

To be fair, Germans largely don’t deny what happened. Being a holocaust denier can even get you into prison. IHMO that is how you should handle such matters.
Yes i know but i couldnt come up with a simmilar example about them. If you know of a better one about Germany do let me know and ill change it. Im being frendly about this btw, sorry if i sound condesending, thats not my intention.
Never ask them where VW produces cars!
Should probably be a german company instead of it‘s government
I don’t know if I would have used Tiananmen Square.
The Uighur re-education cities seems far more fitting.
Or the invasion of Vietnam… Or the annexation of Tibet… Or the bullying of Southeast Asian countries… Or the great leap forward… Or the communist land reforms… Or the anti counterrevolutionary campaigns
The CCP leaves you no end of really good options to pick here.
Never ask a Lemmy user where they’ve hidden the good posts.
Marxist regimes tend be the most murderous and most sensitive. The CCP literally murdered tens of millions of people and they’re banning clothes “that hurt China’s feelings” (actual quote)
China is not Marxist. It is capitalist under communist disguise.
I really like the term “state capitalist”.
