One of the "principles" on which this nation was founded was "Manifest Destiny," which meant that if you [anyone who got here first] have something that I want [such as everything west of the Hudson R.] I'll just take it from you and kill you or send you off to concentration camps [AKA "reservations"]. I/we don't agree with that "principal" now, and it's considered "inappropriate" to espouse such a "principal."
Similarly, although not exactly a founding principal, with slavery.
Times change.
Just a thought (or three).
