^ well that was some nice food for thought. Sounds imbalanced on the sullen and gloomy side.
I think this all has to do with interpersonal skills as well (which is interesting considering the reference to intelligence). People exploit others sure, it's not pretty, but racial exploitation is different and has its roots in tribalism and the sociology of such. The silver lining to this though is that not all differences between tribes are treated as "hate", there are also effects of genuine interest, novelty, and mutual evolution. It's a mix. So in theory there is hope, and as people pursue effort into this mutualism it benefits social integrity as these interpersonal relations are developed. But it's not easy.
You mention a lot about European Whites, which brings to mind colonialism. A lot of people depict this as the white man enslaving and exploiting the inferior savage, and while valid to some basis, this is only half the side. Early colonists were drawn to the "new world" for its freedom and pastoral graces that gave them reprise from the courtly life of renaissance and enlightenment age Europe. The art of that era was very influenced by the impacts of this new idyllic place. The concept of the noble savage was explored in depth. Many of the inhabitants of New England even had all these cute dealings with the natives, exchanging patchwork items and stitching symbols of mutual trust and adoration. However as the typical anecdote paradise failed and paranoia and hysteria took effect. It's easy to breeze through history in one daily sitting and think well it looks like exploitation on paper, but it happened more gradually in actual flux.
The natives themselves were drawn into the "white man's ways" and their identity was in question. For them these new things were being presented fast while in Europe these had taken the span of the dark ages to enlightenment to achieve and they had a gradual change. The loss of the Europeans "noble savage" occurred slowly and gradually to the point it became a point of complacency. In the dark ages Latin was exclusively a church language for higher classes and teachers were careful to censure lessons on classic literature to proper courtly manners. However by the time of colonialism most Europeans had integrated and almost forgot what freedom from the standpoint of the "noble savage" was about.
So really under careful scrutiny it's not just about white exploiting black/brown. Anthropologically it's about some far more profound theme of societies self-reflection.
Ironically its very popular to feel bad for the natives in circumspect and blame the white man. Even for white people themselves, it's very popular to point out the fallacies of imperialism. But with a modern technological world it feels like most of idyll has already past and attempts to recreate it feel like only after effects. Even those cultures exposed to western influence have adopted our technology, products, and weaponry. It has become a consequence of social integration.
