Somehow, I suspect that even then, the Congolese and Indian human zoos were likely run by European colonials, not the locals. The Japanese on the other hand have no excuse.
Apparently according to the source of the map, they aren’t counting zoos put on by
Imperialist nations in their colonial holdings since those nations didn’t have sovereignty in making those decisions.
They marked India because of the Andaman Islands incident where the local government and police forced the indigenous population to perform as savage native peoples for tourists that they would take on human safaris. The police would torture, beat, kidnap, and sexually assault tribe members if they refused or didn’t perform to their liking. There is a famous video of a police officer throwing food at some native peoples before holding them at gunpoint and yelling for them to dance for the tourists because he has given them food.
This went on from the early 2000’s to 2015, when the scheme was revealed; which created massive outrage in the Indian government and UN. Thankfully everyone associated was imprisoned and the native populations hold more autonomy over the islands.
Hm. Cracker countries and countries that want to be cracker countries; show of hands, who’s surprised?

I’m surprised kkklanada didn’t have a human zoo
They had one I think, the map is bad
They do have them but they call them “reserves”.
probably not what you were imagining, but here’s one of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_quintuplets
