Washington Post: Apologize for racist, xenophobia editorial!
The Washington Post just published a racist, xenophobic, genocide-apologist tirade that argues colonialism was a civilizing force and wars are good because they make us richer.
We've never read such an appallingly blasé erasure of the horrors committed under colonialism, imperialism and fascist governments. Call on the Washington Post to apologize for publishing it now!

Why is this important?
Stanford Professor Ian Morris argues that British colonialism in India eliminated "savagery," that genocides only killed two percent of the century's population, so they weren't that big a deal, and that obliterating the Native American population was justified since "people almost never give up their freedoms... unless forced to do so."
