You don't expect natives to be better than booze-addled thieves? That's pretty patronizing. What does it say to those - the majority - who aren't?
And justifying crimes committed by individuals today on the basis of historical oppression and suffering is a fraught project. Ever read the history of Poland? Or the Philippines? Poverty, foreign occupation and oppression, horrific abuses for generations and generations. Is someone of Polish or Filipino origin less responsible for their crimes than someone of Danish or Japanese origin?
