Just comparing two countries that were both colonized by Brits. One did better than the other. So I have questions. Population is a factor.

I wonder how much wealth was taken out of America when it was colonized. I need to research both countries about this.

Population would be the #1 factor for India being the way it is. Oh and it has been 70+ years since the Brits left. So I should have said "decades ago." 70 years of running themselves. They can take credit for their country.

Oh I thought they left India years ago. Not to mention they have had a population problem for years. But hey you want to rag on the Brits. Go a head get it out.

If it is plant based I would have to argue that it was alive and we killed the plant to make the fake meat.

Why mention all those others and when I bring up two more you call foul. And I never said anything about anyone being a saint. I brought up past problems with Natives and how they are very similar. Don't just talk about one part of history is the point here. Don't forget the bullshit they were doing to their own people either. Canada is doing the right thing. But can you name me a tribe that will say they are sorry for taking a neighbors land in war? I don't know of any personally.

The post above was using whataboutism to describe the rest of the Americas and how European Colonizers started mass genocide. I bring up two more and you say whataboutism. You just hate Europeans in a nutshell right?

I agree asking America to say they are sorry for this is irrelevant. Which is what he was complaining about.

The Aztecs were enslaving anyone they warred with. Not to mention the human sacrifices. Native Americans were also warring with each other over land well before any European got here. Don't forget to face these facts as well.

The Natives were killing each other before Europeans got here. The natives helped Europeans attack neighboring tribes as well.
African tribes attacked and sold their neighbors into slavery.
Don't forget about these things when talking about the treatment of Natives and Africans.
