I never said that. Every race has had massacres and genocides, but that is beside the point. I am proud we extended into the Americas before the Chinese. The Chinese easily could have traveled the pacific almost 100 years before Columbus sailed the Atlantic, but they did not. They got scared by the Mongolians and stayed to themselves, and let a huge new world slip from their grasps. Europe on the other hand explored, and it payed off big time.
