I don’t subscribe to the notion that any particular race or (physical, not sociological) group can be evil.
People fight for resources. Sometimes with other people. History is littered with people doing the wrong things for the right causes.
Genghis Khan was from Mongolia and has killed so many people it actually affected climate at that time.
Even if you believe certain actions of certain people were evil, it’s difficult to generalize them to the whole population. Especially if they had no way to influence their decisions.
How could have a Dutch farmer change anything in the Kingdom of Netherlands? And how can a minimum wage brick-layer in England be responsible for what a UK king ordered 400 years ago?
Just as an example: look at the world today. America, Russia and Israel elected their presidents. Without getting to much into political discussion, at least some of their actions might be viewed (today) by majority of people as “evil”. Does that make all the residents of those countries evil? And their children? And grandchildren?
I really do believe that the reasoning is much simpler. And that, unfortunately, hasn’t changed even today: those who are in power and have wealth, will fight tooth and nail to keep it. By any means necessary.
