How about their own responsibility? Surely both we the dutch, the British empire, probably the French as well knew who they told ''hey, go on a adventure and explore new things in this great big boat.. '' and the most loved or usefull poeple weren't the first on the list. So admittely we probably dumped our garbage there However the US is granted not the oldest country on the globe but at least old enough to be at a point where we i my view can hold them accountable for their own actions. and their outdated views on abortion, trans rights etc. are still their because they refuse to update their views, it not that they can't it's because they threw in a hypothetical toddler tatrum every time they get told ''maybe it's not the best way to do things''.
It's an endless loop, i name a few then you either agree or disagree or it's what about this and that etc. etc. however if you fail to see to giving nicknames to a certain group isn't only a right wing thing then this whole discussion is pointless, because your denying an very basic human trait.
