What are you ashamed of what your country have done in the past?
I am ashamed what my country did, or rather didn't do during the WWII. Plus their coperation with the nazis.
I edited my message after you quoted it, but the VOC with their active role in slavery is one, and the NSB collaborating with the Nazi's even knowing full well what happened to the Jews that were to be deported is another example. Our behaviour in Java was not exemplary either.
