Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

European colonizers used systemic racism to justify their cruelty to Indigenous people by believing in the concept of white supremacy. They considered themselves racially superior to Indigenous people, which allowed them to dehumanize and mistreat them without guilt or remorse. They used this ideology to justify forced labor, displacement, cultural assimilation, and even genocide. They also created and implemented discriminatory laws and policies that marginalized Indigenous people and denied them basic rights and resources. This systemic racism was deeply ingrained in European colonial societies and institutions, allowing for the continuation of violence and oppression against Indigenous peoples.
