I mean... being a criminal is wayyyy cooler than being racist

I mean, they were racist too. I don't think that there's anything native Americans endured that Australian Aborigines didn't have just as bad. Iirc the Aborigines were legally considered "flora and fauna" or something like that.

I definitely agree, the two aren't mutually exclusive and I'm sure a majority were racist, but one is objectively cooler than the other when all else is equal
