It's entirely unreasonable to hold a whole race responsible for the actions of their ancestors. It's a perpetuation of the same type of racism that it claims to oppose.
No sir. Karel made a point that if you go back far enough everybody did something to everybody else. A position that is historically untrue and I gave 5 examples that destroyed that particular argument. The "everyone did something to everyone else" argument is an attempt to pass the buck. I made no claims of utopia or innocence on the part of the parties I mentioned. merely that as it relates to my commentary, Karel's argument holds absolutely no water.
