I was more referring to general genocide than specifically native populations--but even that there is no shortage of countries like Australia, Canada, and japan that have done as such.

There is a depressingly high number.

Ok? Those are the ones we were talking about on this map, youre moving the goalposts from "every" to "yeah the whole international community" which was the point to begin with. These countries get on their high horse when they have an exceptionally genocidal history.

My point was meant to point out how countries with genocidal histories like to point out others as the ones to avoid repeating examples of rather than their own history.

You're being straight up racist assuming it's only white western countries commit genocides.

Lmao and there it is. Racism against the whites.

...yeah because you said genocide was special to western countries.... I'm not some "the whites are getting genocided" person. You denied the genocides perpetrated by other countries and said it was special to typical white countries with a very clear implication.
