    This map is extremely poorly made and missed quite literally half the world.

    The Swiss and Norwegians had human zoos where they paid black peoples to preform racist stereotypes. Norwegians and Swedes also forced the Sami minority to preform in human exhibits.

    The Russian Empire had multiple human zoos that ran for short periods of time between 1800-1914. They were a rare form of entertainment for the Tsars and nobility.

    The Dutch aren’t marked on this man but they literally hired and kidnapped several black people to preform in a human zoo called “N-word village”. Along with a village dedicated to native people from Suriname.

    Thailand held hundreds of refugee women from Myanmar in a human zoo that was operating as late as 2008. They were not allowed to leave the country and were essentially slaves until the UN stepped in.

    Czechoslovakia operated a human zoo with Pygmy individuals.

    Ireland operated a human zoo in Dublin with Senegalese “performers” in 1904.

    The Austrian-Hungarian Empire operated multiple human zoos.

    Australia had human zoos of aboriginal peoples.

    Warsaw had a human zoo that attracted 200,000-300,000 attendees.

    Portugal operated a human zoo with kidnapped Africans from its colonies in 1940.

    Argentina forced indigenous tribe leaders to preform in natural history museums.

    The Aztec Empire operated a human zoo in their capital city with hundreds of enslaved performers that were considered “odd” note that means disabled. It was recently unearthed by archeologists a few years ago after being considered a myth, since it was only documented by the Conquistadors as the zoo was part of the personal collection of the Emperor.
