Australia is a very successful multicultural society in its modern form. It's dark past is mainly due to monocultural activities. That is also true for the US. Most multicultural countries had a past history of being a monocultural state which was the vogue thing for colonies to do. With time they have transmuted and became more tolerant and open and more successful and wealthy.
So yes the dark past of slavery, starvation (buffalo decimation) and germ warfare are certainly evil. But that's what you get in a monocultural driven society.
