Everyone makes fun of the British museum, but am*ricans stole too, even entire fucking buildings
Wait, really? Can you tell me more? I don't know what to google.
Stole their entire country from the natives for a start.
That was kinda the British too... But there was plenty of bad colonial attitude to go around.
Dog, they were sent by the British to do explicitly that. You don't get to feign innocence.
Not really true. The early British colonies had a lot of peaceful trade and alliances with native tribes until the first Indian war. And even after the first Indian war, the British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide of the Americans westward expansion.
"...The British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide..."
Except for the Boer concentration camps, the Irish famine, the Bengal famine, the partition of India...
i meant in north America before the revolution, but thats my bad for not being specfic.
