The nation founded on genocide? Not subjugation, not pacification, not even solely enslavement (they imported us for that), but actual genocide? The nation that invented one of the most barbarous forms of slavery in human history? Why would we expect morality of that nation?

Not that it isn’t achievable; just that it did, would, and will require a miracle.
