Mass genocides aren't a strictly European thing. Pretty much everyone, historically speaking, has commited genocide of some form. Just about every country on Earth has been, at different times, the oppressor and the oppressed. Saying any race, culture, or nation is more or less "guilty" of oppression or wrongdoing in what has been a fundamental tenet of power dynamics throughout all human history is an absolute fallacy. Imperialism, and the process of peoples vying for dominance over one another, has always been the language of human history and politics, and for better or worse, always will be. I crack a lot of jokes about Imperialism; but unironically I believe it's an ugly thing that is a side-effect of human nature, that every culture is and has been susceptable to... and given the course of history, that's not likely to change.
