Sure but the scale and recency of European colonialism certainly leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths, even the descendants of colonists.

Many are also put off by European and its new world colony's claims of moral supremacy over those victimized by colonization, especially as it was the birthplace of nazi-ism and countless genocides.

We can all agree thar humans have been nafarious for a long time. But, many see the legacy of European colonialism and the Trans Atlantic slave trade as an atrocity at a scale never before commited in human history.
