They beat their wives to death, too. Should we add that to your pan-ethnic list, Dayn?

Geez! I thought it was!!

That's outrageous. Certainly we could fund museums of crimes that we Americans have ourselves committed, such as the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans?!!

BUT: it still seems to me there first ought to have been on the National Mall a museum of the US genocide of Native Americans, and of the horror of the enslavement of Africans.

Those crimes against humanity are much more part of America.

But neither of these museums emphasizes mass criminality the way the Holocaust Museum does.

If we're going to rub the noses of visitors to Washington, DC in atrocities, at least give prime billing to the homegrown ones.
