You don't have any evidence for that. All of human history is consistently filled with violence, every single day, and it still is.

It's easy to criticize the successful, but each of us is the result of a global legacy of competitive murder, no matter your race.

Indeed. The history of the Chatham islands is enough to dispell any notion that polynesians are somehow incapable of mass murder and enslavement. See

This history also illustrates that peacefulness is also within the capacity of any people.

Wow, interesting. We should all feel very lucky that we live in a time where we don't even have to kill our own food, much less each other. And we're only like half way to real peace.

That is Micronesian, not Polynesian. It seems to be very common amongst Americans to think that all Pacific Islanders are Polynesian. Probably because of Hawaii.

This is a racist attitude.
