A genuine apology is for something you have done, not something that happened centuries before you were born. Judging from the article the fake apology is just stoking more grievance.

Criminal charges should be applied, but time and time again these "people" are allowed to retire into obscurity and families can pass on the wealth and privilege to their kids.

This country would be bankrupt if it paid out for its historical crimes, that's why it doubles down as the global ethics and etiquette advisor.

Do as I say, not as I do.
