As a person living on the border between New Mexico and Colorado on land that borders reservations and who drives past the site of a residential school pretty regularly, I completely agree.
There are modern European states refounded after the Allies pursued a deliberate and calculated policy of ethnic cleansing to ensure Germans would never be a problem again - in some cases going from 25% of the population prewar to 1% afterwards, with mass violence and rape included. Ethnic cleansing is only really frowned upon when you lose, or when you win so hard it's a convenient virtue signal and disapproval doesn't threaten the status quo.
If Serbs wanted their own ethnostate they should have spent the last century subverting the structures of power and media of the West. They didn't do that and the civilians of Beograd paid the price.
It should be reminding you of something which happened a few decades earlier and was much, much worse than Serbia.

Everybody* east of the iron curtain was carted around in cattle carriages. Both my grandmothers were and neither was German.
*not really everybody, obviously

Come on, that's not an accurate depiction of what happened to ethnic Germans in Eastern Europe. It is the neo-Nazi party line though.

Serbia wasn’t on a good terms with Big Genocide lobby
Even so, there have been all sorts of contrarians trying to defend them. Usually for weird anti NATO reasons.
I can’t believe I’m actually writing this: parent is an underrated comment.
