Nymethus, how would you respond if I said "Sweden is a nation of ancient pagans that worship the god-king of Lutfisk?" Because that's the problem I'm having with reading your posts. If you've got questions about America you should ask them.
I'll try and explain the bit about the Indians. Yep, we absolutely murdered them all and stole their land, and it's also among the largest genocides in world history. This past is something we struggle with today. Some Native American communities are still impoverished, you'd think you were visiting a third world nation if you visited certain communities, but no, you're actually right in the heartland of the United States. We're also losing some of the culture as time goes on because it's not being preserved very well. There isn't really a good answer on what to do though. We don't hide this (although some people try to ignore it. This stuff is taught right in our history books, starting in elementary school. Good luck getting that kind of transparency out of other countries.
I also found your comment that your news is magically unbiased laughable. I've read newspapers from America, Germany, England, Russia, Iran, and Egypt. They all have totally different viewpoints of the world. I'm sure the Swedish press is proud of their national identity just like everyone else in the world, and there is nothing wrong with that. For example, I'm sure a Swedish newspaper would probably claim lutfisk tastes great, when it's actually one of the most vile foods known to man.
