Like the Indigenous children in Residential fake schools who were deprived of all the school funding benefits and allowance money from their parents.

Huh, guess I'll make less Dutch jokes in the future. Thank you for sharing that info

Well, it primarily stems from the countries that engaged in global colonialist projects across the centuries, which is why I'm so surprised the fucking Dutch aren't on the list concidering how their primary colonial project was primarily Indonesia and ~~Malaysia~~ western New Guinea in the form of the "Dutch east indies"

As to why so many Slavic nations weren't doing so, they were either being ground under the boot of other europeans such as the poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Yugoslavs, Irish, etc. Were too busy trying to maintain their decaying feudalist system in the modern era of capitalist imperialism such as the Turks and the Austrians. Or were too busy expanding frontier borders and pacifying internal rebellious ethnic groups a la the Russian Empire in their eastward drive with their own kinda sorta manifest destiny towards the Pacific.

I think it, in very reductive and simplified terms, primarily has to do with the material conditions those nations found themselves in, being late to the table in modernizing and thus struggling to engage in worldwide colonialism in conjuction to their political socio-economic backwardness of retaining feudal-aristocratic power over the bourgeoise middle class ultimately lead to those countries not throwing random fucking people in zoos to oggle at.

Ah, excluding the first category of "nations being ground under the boot of other nations". They kinda were too busy with trying to achieve national self-determination to really.

And I'm not particularly knowledgeable on the Scandinavian nerds and why they didn't do shit even though the Danes had some colonial outposts. I'd personally just guess they were too busy trying to flex on each other to really give a shit about being shitty imperialists that gawked at random people in zoos.

Edit: forgot the Swiss. Who gives two figs about 'em.

Austria and Switzerland have been around for more than 500 years longer than Germany. I’m sure more of these have had humans on exhibition to be gawked at like in fairs or circuses, but this is specifically about in a zoo.
