Yeah I got banned from my brothers house for saying we should respect the european colonists for raising the standard of living for everyone.

Natives before europeans : average lifespan 27yrs. Vocabulary 300 words. No written language. No metalworking, literally stone age. Slave owners. Cannibals. No farming or permanent structures. Life involved raiding neighbouring tribes for slaves and rape slaves. This is all well documented in the early explorer diaries.

They should be god damn thankful.
