It isn't a stretch, by any means, to point out the racism of colonizers that viewed and treated the indigenous people of the Americas as savages.

The fact that you're trying so hard to explain that away says a tonne about you. I recommend that you take a long, hard look at yourself and try figure out why you feel the need to justify bigotry.

This is correct.

It wasn’t out of stupidity, it was out of malice and bigotry.

It’s also a culture of domination that has stuck with us to this day.

Hubris. It’s not a fault exclusive to whites. We favor the latest greatest “trust the science” of the moment over traditional but non-scientific (in our estimation) public policies. Expand your mind. There’s much more to learn from history than white peoples were racist. Of course they were. Hubris still exists and it’s better for you if you aren’t blind to it.
