Everybody has been stealing land (just like they have everything else) since time immemorial.
I happen to be an American, so I'm interested in what "we" have done and wanting to condemn wrongs that "we've" committed. If I was a Spaniard, I'd be pointing out the wrongs that they had done and be wanting to condemn them for them. The English, the English. The Portuguese, the Portuguese. The Netherlands, the Dutch. Colonial (disregarding the Nazi era for the sake of this discussion) Germany, the Germans. And so on.
