People should not be expected to feel guilty for what their ancestors did
There is likely no piece of land anywhere in the entire world that is still currently held solely by the "original owners"
But for some reason only Western countries are being held to this ridiculous standard where we're supposed to constantly acknowledge that the countries are built on land that was colonized in the past, by people who are long dead
This is especially absurd given that many people living in these countries aren't even descended from the original colonists anymore. They've immigrated long after the countries were established
