    I never said that they were resorts, why did you cut off the remainder of the sentence which described the torture and humiliation of survivors to make it seem like I defended or downplayed the horrific nature of reservations.

    Also for how horrid, disgusting, and inhumane the conditions of the reservations were, they were not death camps. That word has a very specific meaning about the quick, efficient, and factory model method of exterminating as many humans as possible in the shortest possible time. Native Americans were left to starve and suffer an excruciatingly slow planned extinction. They were not factory style liquidated as with the Holocaust.

        “Not relevant”.

        The entire sentence doesn’t make sense without the ending, that was the point of it being there. Not for you to cherry-pick an argument.
