Well if their crime is to live here and have children and that upset the Native American way of life, then you are part of that crime and so am I. As I value my own existence, I am going to say the issue is morally grey, otherwise I would be arguing to get rid of myself, because under your reasoning, I shouldn't exist.
Would you sacrifice your life (hell, your very existence) if you knew with 100% certainty it would lead to a better world for all humanity?
Is every historical atrocity at worst "morally grey", or do you only feel that way about the ones that lead to your own existence?
Edit: And for what feels like the thousandth time, the "crime" you continue to describe does not even remotely describe, with any real accuracy, the historical facts surrounding the settling of North America by Europeans and the ensuing genocide of its native populations.You are continuing to completely ignore this very basic fact and peddling this complete fiction because, what, the truth is to horrible for you to accept? That your existence owes its life to centuries of death, destruction, and misery?
Welcome to the human condition. Get over it.
The "crime" in question, in case you were wondering, is centuries of willful physical genocide, followed by decades of willful cultural genocide. Do you truly believe that, because it ended up leading to your life here in the Americas, that excuses it?
