@Anton Augustin Taky si myslím, prachy je přesvědčí, přes veškeré cancy o tom že chtějí zůstat s Dánskem. Ono to mezi těmi dvěma zeměmi není a nebylo až tak růžové, jak by to dnes Dánové chtěli podat:.

Colonialism continued

Greenland’s recent history is merely a continuation of colonisation. Danes have never respected Greenlanders as equals, and that they have always been illegitimate rulers. Here in fact is the “hidden colonisation” in question: a term that reflects the unequal pay between Danes and Greenlanders, the negative attitudes of Danish employers in Greenland and the way in which the Danish media talk about Greenland in general.

Those who tell this story point to scandals such as the practice in the 1960s and 70s of Danish doctors implanting contraceptive IUDs in the wombs of thousands of Greenlandic women and girls without their consent or knowledge, as part of a campaign to limit Greenland’s birthrate. The Danish government has officially apologised, but approximately half the fertile women in Greenland were forcibly fitted with contraception at the time. Then there’s the 22 children who were taken from their families in Greenland and transported to Denmark, where they were supposed to be educated as the next generation of the colony’s capable rulers. The Danish prime minister has acknowledged these moral failures. But such dark episodes reveal, according to this narrative, that the Danes saw themselves as the white masters on a mission to bring civilisation to savages.

Where the story held by the ruling classes often refers to institutional progress and welfare reform, the story of those who demand Greenland’s independence speaks of persistent and institutional racism in Denmark against people from Greenland.
