To my knowledge slavers didn’t win (if there ever was a slaver-side). Winners being right is business as usual but here losers are put forward as being acknowledged as having been right.
One could make a more compelling case for capital punishment. Beheadings in middle-eastern countries are looked down upon, assasinations being involved in Russian politics is often critizied and you can get executed for rather political actions in China. However the face of the western world, US, has a death-row that is disproportionally black. However many european countries disagree enough with the US stance that they embargo the relevant execution drugs to be supplied to US. However being for capital punishment is not seen as an unreasonable stance and states are allowed to legalise it. One doesn’t expect an armed conflict over it but its more of a case that angry brutes are going to execute regardless of ethics.
For things that are more universally seen as transgression one might consider the spanish inquisition or witch trials. I do not know anyone that today thinks those were the “right thing to do” while it might be possible that those people exist. But I doubt any of the people organising them faced any consequences for having done so. But the victims of the transagressions don’t seem to demand any relief either.
Also while white people came to america first the spread of new diseases was accidental. However at some point it might have become intentional for some people. That is pretty dirty business and I can’t see people reallly seriously defend those people. But for what might have been ethnically targeted bioweapon mass-murder it is quite easily not given any attention. And while native american want and do have special rights its usually not seen from the lense of making up for bad things done.

By whom? Not by (the majority of) the Middle-Easterners, Russians, or Chinese.

Disproportionate to what? Compared to the relevant crime statistics it’s disproportionally white.
