And they would be dead now even if no one had killed them back then. And those that killed them are all dead now. And no doubt more Amerindians were killed by other Amerindians over the centuries than ever had any contact at all with Europeans.
This is like all the whining about slavery. Slavery has been one of the most widespread practices in the world. Europeans were the ones who have come closest to putting a stop to it. And in fact it is only European derived morality that makes slavery and genocide wrong.

Instead most of the intellectual discourse surrounding slavery concentrated on rights for those who could vote (often a small section of the population). Was European morality at work when Leopold II destroyed half the population of Congo?
