North American natives were exterminating and enslaving each other long before the Europeans got there. Nobody has anything to be proud of.

While it was (mostly?) unintentional, the biological warfare committed by Europeans makes for a different story than anything that happened before they arrived. The Americas weren't a paradise, but neither were they a slaughterhouse.

Been lurking since 2011 or so. Dare I say that the average level of discourse has finally fallen to a level where I feel comfortable participating after over ten years of just reading.

That being said HN was and continues to be one of the most valuable resources for geeks on the net.
