    Maybe their relative should have dodged the draft, too

      That one came up in a conversation on privilege, since one of my relatives bribed a doctor to get out of the draft.

        Your relative wasn't the one giving people numbers. For a war like Vietnam, you dodge however you can.

    "My mom grew up in a communist country"

    "She was born in Catalonia in Spain"

      They would be nice enough to give them refugee status in various countries. Nevermind that it would destroy an entire nation and culture.

      I went on a little rant after that about the French and Americans fucking with Haiti for the last 200+ years, and recommended the Revolutions podcast.
