Its because of the historical perspective westerners recieve through school and media. We are taught a simplistic version of our own culture and none of everyone elses, and the takeaway is that weve dobe a bunch of mean and exploitive things to other groups. What we don't get a sense, of from this, is that every group has done the same thing. It's actually completely normal for groups to try and advance at the expense of others. We're the only group thats "civilized" itself to the point where we think its wrong, but we don't realize anyone else has and is still doing it.
