“The pattern in the New World is similar to what happened during the European colonization of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In all those regions Europeans gained near-total political power for a time, but they continued to remain a small minority of the population. No one bothers to claim that Europeans committed “genocide” in these Old World regions; but in the New World and Australia, they take advantage of low initial population densities in some regions to press unsubstantiated claims of mass slaughter.”
