I believe the point is that it’s being done on US soil, which infringes on the rights of US citizens.

Wasn't the test done on US citizens? If the test was done on Canadians, we would be talking about Canadian citizens and not US citizens.

Were the people wearing glasses? Did they have curly hair? It's not mentioned because it makes no difference. Calling out that they're US citizens or Canadian citizens implies that these people are somehow first-class people, and everyone else is riff raff − fair game for such experiments.

On the contrary. It was the WHO of the article. I think you just felt a self-important compulsion to point out that Canadians need constant attention.

That isn’t what I said, I’m being specific about who these experiments were done on. I resent the implication that I think any other people based on where they were born or where they live are less in any way. I strongly disagree with that.

I didn't mean anything nationalist by that phrasing.
