Fairly sure neither [name]Ottilie[/name] nor I tried to minimise or make light of anything. Saying it happened and that [name]India[/name] and [name]Britain[/name] are allied nations are both factually correct statements. Minimising it would have been me saying ‘yeah but it wasn’t really that bad and it was so long ago now that no one remembers’.
And as to this. It was the comparison of the British colonisation of India to the (Jewish) Holocaust that I found offensive. Not the mention; the comparison. We did not enter India intent on massacring all it’s people because we believed they should be exterminated. We did not plan the genocide of an entire race of people as Hitler did.
And Flick:
I’m confused… My point was that over the years people have invaded/attacked/enslaved us too. We never invaded Germany…
Anyway, this is the last I’m saying on this subject now. It’s been argued to death and I’m tired.
