The first concentration camps were during the Boer War, for the Boers. They have been used many times since, including by Nazi Germany. But they are NOT the only ones who used these camps or who still do use these camps. The US government is now running concentration camps - they are the literal definition of them.
And, trying to limit who is "allowed" to be put into concentration camps is insulting everything, and is a very, very dangerous game to play. It is belittling what our govt is doing.
STOP IT!
