They just didn't wipe them out.


Actually my response was to your position that American and Texas ethnocentrism was/is not as offensive as that in African nations because we didn't commit genocide. In fact, we committed genocide. The fact that other countries were also committing genocide does not alter the moral judgement regarding our behavior, any more than our genocide justifies or minimizes the genocide being employed by other nations around the world, historically or currently.

The 'everybody else is/was' doing it sort of loses its appeal after about 12th grade for most folks.

My primary point, clearly stated, was that ethnocentrism does not imply genocide at all, by us or anyone else, now or historically. You seem to keep putting the accent on the wrong syllable.
