No country has a perfect history, go back far enough and we all have dark periods in how we've treated people. However that shouldn't mean we can criticise countries who are still doing so now in what's supposed to be a more progressive and enlightened world.

That's fair, but it just feels wrong to be criticizing other countries when we aren't even doing enough for those who suffered in our own countries. It's hypocritical.

I'm British, we don't really have an indigenous treatment issue. We exported that to you guys, lol.
