      They’re not wrong. The deaths of Indians from the Americas and the aborigines from Australia far surpass the technical definition of genocide. Throw in banana republics and other nation building and it is totally arguable that the US has been complicit in many other genocides, for instance.

        Sorry, quick nitpick for non-Australians. It’s never “aborigines”, if you’re going to use the term it’s “Aboriginals” (and the capitalisation is important).

        Aborigines is kinda like calling Asians Orientals.
