  Hell no and you are interpreting what I said in a crazy fashion. I said they’re trying to exterminate their culture, likening it to similar attempts in the past is not whataboutism. If there was a holocaust happening where people were being put into camps and gassed and I said “this is just like what the Nazis did”, it would not be whataboutism. If I compared it to the Japanese internment of WW2, it would not be “whataboutism” I don’t think you really understand what “whataboutism” is. Whataboutism seeks to divert attention and justify what is being done by the fact that other wrongs are being done. My comment is not trying to diminish in anyway what they’re doing, but explain what it is they’re trying to achieve by analogy to policies like Stolen Generations or forced assimilations. I’m not trying to say “we’re just as bad so don’t criticize them”, I’m saying “this is horrible, here’s why, look up the history of how this turned out for others” sheesh
