Really? I'm sure Native Americans, original Australians (especially in Tasmania where they were wiped out), the "fuzzywuzzies" who were made to build railways in Africa and so on would disagree with that. Britain has just as shameful a past in slavery and extermination as the French, Dutch, Belgians, Portugese... Maybe more.
