You aren't even making a counter argument, you're just being emotional. Yeah sorry to tell you - not everyone's going to be nice. If that were the case we wouldn't have to make laws to protect citizens from one another. I'm not condoning anything. You just want to beat your chest and act holier. You're the problem.

No, I'm not being emotional. The question of nature vs nurture from a moral standpoint is a very interesting question which I thought trough length and breadth many times.

Therefore I see, that when people start to attribute psychological traits of people to a nature they do it mostly to justify genocide, segregation or something like. To attribute psychological trait to a nature is an emotional argument.

Did you just finish your psych 101 course? Harvard prisoner experiment and whatnot? Because that's what you sound like. You have no depth to your idea you're just stating it and that it's right and taking what you think is the moral high ground.

People are intrinsically competitive. If you think white people screwing natives was the first or only time this happened you should look into the history of the natives themselves. It's human nature - you can accept it or cover your ears, the choice is yours.
