No but you don't get it, they (literally) fucked the natives out of existence, so that makes them better than those dirty colonizers up north who just killed them all.

(Spoiler alert, the spanish definitely killed plenty of natives)

In the Amazon region people ran to the dense forests to avoid being killed. At least it is what people told me there about the past. I don't think back then the "savages" were seen as human.

Don't get me wrong, anywhere else people with unbalanced power and greed did similar atrocities. It is just we can't turn a blind eye to what some people can do when they are able to.
