That seems to have been the pattern on this continent also.
Actually, it appears to have been the pattern everywhere.
China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa, South America, etc.
The difference is that when non-white peoples displace non-white peoples a neutral verb like “replace” is used, as in the headline and in Jason Diamond’s famous book Guns, Germs and Steel.
When white people displace non-white people as in USA and Oz, suddenly emotive and pejorative words like “invade,” “conquer” and “genocide” are more appropriate.
