Comment on Interesting analogy
dx1@lemmy.world 3 days agoAn appropriate response would be that Native Americans are still being oppressed, marginalized, having agreements violated, to this day, that they’re rightly due actual reparations and land back on that basis, but that the statute of limitations for these kind of claims, if you’re trying to devise some kind of universal ethical system to deal with them, may extend 100, 200, 300 years, for various types of claims, but not 2,000.

What reparations are owed to the Indigenous people of the Vietnamese highlands, perpetrated against them for centuries against the other Indigenous people of the Vietnam lowlands?

I suspect you have better answers to that question than I do. Though the more pertinent question would probably be the reparations they’re owned from the genocide perpetrated against them by the U.S.
