europeans are the only ones who acknowledge their "historical sins" and our entire mainstream culture revolves around it today. non europeans just repeat what europeans say about themselves while hiding the horrors they themselves commited and without acknowledging any of them. for example, arabs don't speak about the arab slave trade and it's a taboo topic in the me. meanwhile, mainstream arab media such as aljazeera will constantly reference the transatlantic slave trade and produce media regarding it. this leads to the conclusion that the "sins" of europe aren't sins at all and that european empathy toward non-europeans is misplaced and naive.
