Because I am not about to be indoctrinated with relentless self-loathing on the basis of my skin color or sex, but most especially for past actions of other people over whom I had no control.
To blame white men for the crimes of past white men, well, imagine if history worked like that everywhere. You could do the same with just about any particular group -- they've all exterminated or maltreated someone. And yet you have this focus on just the Caucasian ones (even ones with no history of colonialism in their regional past) ... who taught you to fixate on this? And whom does it benefit?
