No, hygiene had everything to do with it. White people intentionally infected native Americans with smallpox blankets, then bragged about it so much it's still in the archives. That one act of BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM/WARFARE/GENOCIDE was responsible for the all but complete decimation of native American populations, the genocidal crime of the murder of at least a million people.
We White people, using all the tools our society gives us for the task, did it intentionally- and to this day we still shoot, arrest, maim, shame and ridicule native Americans on television for having the temerity to protest when we want to poison their drinking water.
So yeah- white people are very bad people, just judging by what they do.
