I find it odd too, i went to a shit hole of a school in a smaller town and this stuff was all just part of the curriculum. Including all the bad things that happened to the indiginious people. So it feeld weird its called out now.
Im pretty sure watching rabbit proof fence is like a mandatory movie at some point too https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/
I have an apostrophe and it's super annoying as some companies see it as a SQL injection hack and sanitize it.
So I've received ID with Mc%20dole or they add a space in it. Or I'll get a work email with an apostrophe but I cant use it anywhere because sites have it disabled. And I've missed my flight because I changed my ticket once to add the apostrophe and the system just broke at the gate.
Worse yet many flight companies have "you will not be able to board if your ID doesn't exactly reflect your details" but their form doesn't allow it. Even most forms for card payments don't allow it even though it's the name on my card.
