The bigger problem, at least in my opinion, is that these outliers are more emboldened with their opinions in recent years.

Less emboldened in comparison with the 1900s - 1940s.

The heyday of Residential Schools and indigenous removal programs across Canada, the US, Australia, etc was mainstream and a slick industrialised pipeline of capturing children to beat the Indian from them (actual quote).

There might well be some recent uptake towards that direction, but back in the day these were not outliers, these were central government programs backed by church and "science" (eugenic based arguments).
