America got over imprisoning people for their ethnicity 80 years ago. And it's never systematically imprisoned or punished people because of their religious beliefs.

- selfhoster11 4y ago> America got over imprisoning people for their ethnicity 80 years ago. Yeah, no. Minorities are still being disproportionately imprisoned.
- mpalmer 4y agoIt's not the same thing. Not by a long shot. They are not in prison for the crime of being a minority. There are no US laws criminalizing behavior according to ethnicity or religion, nor could there be. You are equating state-sanctioned cultural genocide vs an imperfect justice system with a racist legacy. I could go on, but I really don't need to.
