As if the people who were already here didn't engage in genocide themselves? For example in one ceremony the Aztecs ritually sacrificed about 30,000 people from one conquered city state. And they had been doing such things for generations. The Iroquois essentially slaughtered the Hurons in the 1700's. Many tribes had ritual cannibalism.
So this person frankly is full of shiit.
