I understand what you're trying to say. But Black people have told non-Black people repeatedly not to make light of slavery or compare it to other situations. Especially important given AUS history of slavery. It's mostly Central American undocumented migrants being 'rounded up'
POC have to be just as careful as others not to erase communities being targeted for discrimination. It's not 'non-White' people who live with this fear. In this case, it's a specific set of mostly Latin migrants who are being arrested, intimidated & abused every day.

These are both very good points and the thing I used for that joke was pretty insensitive. Will delete, but apologies, I won't make the same mistake again

I appreciate this. Thanks for your reflection.
