I think you have just gone a bit too far in one of your comments. Just because the Germans are white does not mean that all white people are responsible in any way for the actions of the Nazis. That's like saying that because of the actions of the Zulus and HooHoos that all Black people are genocidal monsters. You shouldn't even be suggesting basing your view of millions of people on the acts of a few because of their skin color. Even if you do say it as a minor side comment, do not attribute that kind of act to a whole race. Even doing a continent may be a bit too far, but here is a list I think is better in that respect:
North Americans [White] = Slavery
Europeans [White] = Slavery, Genocide or two (Nazis)
Russians [White] = Slavery, Communism
Australians [White] = Ancestors were all criminals
Native North Americans [Red] = Major source of casinos and gambling
Native South Americans [Red] = Sacrificed people
Asians [Yellow?] = Caused generational unrest, Communism
Indians [Arabic] = Slavery, Major racial wars
Middle Easterners [Arabic] = Major terrorist problems, Slavery
Egyptian [Arabic] = Slavery
Black African [Black] = Genocide or ten
Black American [Black] = Chained themselves in poverty
To me, this makes it seem more obvious that everyone has problems from the past and some right now, and I agree with you that most of these things are in the past and should be forgotten. There are many that have not forgotten these past problems and these jade their view, but even when we discuss it please do not attribute something like the Holocaust to a whole race.
One last note: even suggesting that slavery was only the white people is unfair. Almost everyone is guilty of it in some form. Oh yeah, and sorry about ranting a little bit; that holocaust side-statement deeply offended me.
