@wilbr @mrjunge Europe wasn't so nice a century or two ago either. I mean, pretty much every country that had the power to do so tried to colonise Africa. The difference might be that Americans as a people got exposed to the dirty side of colonial culture to a greater degree than people living in the home countries themselves. Few slaves were brought to Europe, so we never really had it as part of our culture. The colonies did, however.
