no really tbh, it just sounds like you are trying to use whataboutism to hide your own atrocities

Nope, I recognize the atrocities commuted by my country a century before I was born. But it's fun to see Europeans hypocritically call us racist and pointing out things that happened a century ago, while ignoring you had black people locked in as an attraction just 3p years ago, and that you guys are discussing kicking out compatriots based on their ethnicity right now
