We did far worse to the tribes of the Americas. Also we gave the Americas its name. Their name for it was “ours”. We stole it from them after slaughtering them by the millions.

Sort of weird, a person of Spanish heritage throwing out a disparagement on this tired out subject.

Suppose the Chinese had discovered “America”; do you think they would have treated the tribes any better?
Who cares who would have done what? Are you saying that if someone picked up your dropped wallet and stole the cash from it, then it’s okay since someone else would have done it anyway? That’s some seriously twisted logic.
You’re confusing “stole” with “conquest”.
Yeah, the latter involves mass dispossession, accompanied by large-scale murderous violence—genocide—and environmental devastation. It’s like you’d prefer to be murdered before they take your wallet.
Better the Europeans that the Asians.
Why? Which Asians? Which Europeans? This just smacks of out-and-out, ugly racism. I would hope that we could be better than that.
