On the Fact that (According to Science Writer, Nicholas Wade) Prior to European Colonization, the Island of New Guinea Was Still Characterized by Stone Age Technology and the Type of Endemic Warfare In Which the Inhabitants of One Society (There Were Approximately 1,200 of Them) Could Not Travel Safely Beyond Their Small Territory
So here's another example of white Europeans doing something admirable (in this instance, suppressing mass slaughter) and, while, no, their motives may not have been totally pure (spreading their religion, exploiting resources, etc.), might we at least look at these historical events with a modicum of balance and ixnay the demonization just of whites? Maybe?
