Now if only Denmark didn’t steal indigenous people’s babies because they were victims of a crime and/or couldn’t cite the capital of Sudan. If you don’t know what I’m talking about don’t search it unless you are prepared for some new awful things to feel horrible about.
Are you talking about the "Little danes experiment"? That was in the 50s and Denmark officially apologized to Greenland en 2020 (following pressure from the Greenlandic officials).
Horrific thing that happened. Idk where being a victim of a crime or knowing the capital of sudan fits in that story tho.

Women who were previously victims of sexual assault or who do not have arbitrary trivia knowledge of certain facts have been, and continue to be, routinely judged "unfit parents" and have their children taken from them. This is most often used against indigenous peoples, including just a couple weeks ago, months after the practice was ostensibly ended.
I would love to know more about that. Which search terms should i use? Is there a chance you have a link to some sources?
Here is the latest from a couple days ago. https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360801503/protests-sparked-after-greenlandic-baby-taken-mother-denmark
Denmark has a habit of stealing babies from indigenous women and parents over arbitrary "parental fitness" rules. Unlike other countries - such as Canada - it is not a thing of the past, but an ongoing problem in the present.
