You should ask some Australian Aboriginals how they feel about their culture after being taken from their tribe as a child and raised in a white environment.

You might be surprised at their response.

I would not be surprised at all and don't agree with force, so you are not disagreeing with me at all.
That those children were kidnapped and jailed in those "schools/camps" is a tragedy worthy of FAR more world consideration.
That they are dark and have that culture has to do with their environment and how long they have been there, not how they think.
However, if an Abo child is adopted at birth by a light, American, suburban family, what is his/her culture?
