I mentioned a variety of groups, including the Natives, which you chose to ignore as though I hadn't mentioned them but I digress: there are no pure race Maoris left. The race is destroyed. Before the whites, Maoris were about the only type of people in that region.
^
The above are all genetically same type of people, Maoris. Even with intratribal squabbles--which happened everywhere, including Europe--the Maoris thrived as people in this region before the Europeans came. Since the European's arrirval and subsequent genocide, all of these people are dead BECAUSE of the Europeans. It is no coincidence the Natives, Australian Aborigines, etc have the same history and fate with respects to Europeans. That these race's death coincides with the European's arrival and warmongering implies that the Europeans are the cause.
You must be a cac. I repeat: Even with intratribal squabbles--which happened everywhere, including Europe--the Maoris thrived as people in this region before the Europeans came. Since the European's arrirval and subsequent genocide, all of these people are dead BECAUSE of the Europeans. It is no coincidence the Natives, Australian Aborigines, etc have the same history and fate with respects to Europeans. That these race's death coincides with the European's arrival and warmongering implies that the Europeans are the cause. So yes, cacs are the oppressor. The oppressors of Natives, Aborigines, Maoris, blacks, etc.
Another bout of nonsense. Native American tribes did indeed sacrifice their neighbours and fight wars. They did this for a thousands of years hitherto the Spanairds, and yet the Native Americans teemed in tremendous numbers across the Americas in spite of their squabbles. The only time things changed was when the Spanairds arrived--like when the other cacs arrived in the Pacific and in Australia, damning the Australian Aborigines and Maoris--and imposed their mengerie of grotesquery including slavery, murder, rape, burning, etc against the Native Americans. So again, evidence points to the notion peoples die when Europeans arirve and impose their genocidal practices. Before then all of the Natives, Maoris, Aborigines, etc all THRIVED in their respective regions. Ironically the Spanairds likely used the same arguments you are using now to sway the Native tribes against the Aztecs. The same arguments which we now know were wrong and led to the Native's extinction. So, the Natives' sacrifices were not "worse" than the Spanairds' killing. The Natives had had the same intertribal conflict since inception and thrived. It was the Spanairds' that deaded them, not the Aztec's.
But the Spanairds did kill millions of Indians over hundreds of years (not all at one time). The Taino genocide in the Carribean--where I am from--gives glimpses into how they carried the deed out. The Spanairds singlehandedly wiped out entire Native peoples, not necessarily with military prowess, but military efficiency. Sickness was only recorded in the Taino region in 1518 by which time a Spanaird priest present during Columbus' voyage, Bartolome de Las Casas, writes the majority of the recorded Taino population was already dead. As the Bartolome de Las Casas (1518) indicates, the Natives were but naked men with spears. The Spanairds, meanwhile, were armored, educated and carried with them more advanced weapons, including war dogs. In places like the Carribean, which is only a small island, the Spanairds could plead and manipulate to great effect. Batholome de Las Casas, who settled in the Taino Carribean region in 1502, writes about the terrible genocide through murder--NOT SICKNESS-- as follows:
The Taino genocide

The Taino genocide (1492-1518) is where the Spanish wiped out most of the Tainos (Arawaks), the native people of the northern Caribbean (present-day Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, etc). Columbus himself set it in motion and oversaw it till 1500.
According to one estimate,
genocide and disease wiped out 3 million of the 3.5 million Tainos – 85%. Most were already dead when smallpox arrived in 1518.
Columbus noticed two things about the Tainos:
- They wore gold jewellery.
- Their most advanced weapon was the spear.
Columbus:
With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.
Columbus made La Taina, the land of the Tainos, into a living hell. It went way beyond simply killing those who fought Spanish rule. The Spanish had the Tainos:
- grilled,
- cut up into pieces like sheep,
- run down by hunting dogs and torn to pieces,
- strung up and burned alive 13 at a time – in memory of Jesus and his 12 Apostles.
They killed even women and children. Even babies: the Spanish threw babies against rocks and into rivers – and laughed. They cut off pieces of Tainos for entertainment. They cut off their heads for practice. They raped women and girls – and brought back syphilis to Europe. They even raped the wife of a king.
The Spanish were kinder to their animals than to the Tainos.
If a Taino killed a Spaniard, the Spanish killed 100 Tainos in return.
They killed Tainos by the thousands, even those who brought them food and gifts. They killed half the people of the kingdom of Maguana outright.
After the killing fields, the Spanish divided the remaining Tainos among themselves to
teach them the Christian faith:
- For Taino men that meant working in the mines, often being worked to death. As many as 90% died within in three months.
- For Taino women that meant working the land, even the heavy work that men used to do.
There was so little food that
babies died for lack of milk. Children died of hunger by the thousands. Men were worked so hard in the mines that few children were born.
Columbus demanded a certain amount gold or cotton from each Taino over the age of 13. Those who failed to meet his demands had their hands cut off.
All this was shocking behaviour by Western standards of the time.
When there were no longer enough Taino workers left, the Spanish brought in
African slaves to take their place.
It was such a hell on earth that:
- Mothers killed their babies.
- Mass suicides were common.
Many fled to the mountains, blacks too, fighting the Spanish from there.
Hatuey, one of the Taino kings of Cuba, told his people to throw their gold into the river: the
Christians worshipped gold as their god and would kill them for it.
In 1512 when Hatuey was about to be burned at the stake (pictured), a Franciscan brother told him him about the Christian faith to save his soul. When Hatuey found out that most good Christians were going to Heaven,
he chose Hell.

The Europeans were known racist and hypocrites. If killing Christians was forbidden, then how to explain all the Spanaird and English wars, skirmishes, etc which happened over hundreds of years? The Spanairds themselves recited words from the scripture as they carried out attacks on innocent Native groups.
