The Canadian government about the canadian indian residential school system
The Iran government about Salman Rushdie
The Mexican government about Ayotzinapas 43
The British government about their museums
The German government about their car manufacturers.
The Indian government about Aasif Sultan
The Russian government about how much the war in Ukraine should have lasted.
And many more...
Do let me know btw if you know of anymore of this.

To be fair, Germans largely don't deny what happened. Being a holocaust denier can even get you into prison. IHMO that is how you should handle such matters.
Meanwhile, denying other genocides gets you a mod spot on lemmy.ml apparently
Yes i know but i couldnt come up with a simmilar example about them. If you know of a better one about Germany do let me know and ill change it. Im being frendly about this btw, sorry if i sound condesending, thats not my intention.
Don’t ask the German government about smog control in diesel cars?
This sounds good, gonna use it.
Should probably be a german company instead of it‘s government
Never ask them where VW produces cars!
Don't ask the German people what kind of porn is best.
Maybe the point is that not all countries are equally bad and belong on the list
Boy, the museums are really just the very tip of the iceberg for the Brits.
A list about things to not ask them for would be huge.
I think the list is meant to be things they'd deny...
