How so?

Because you're only taking into account certain cultural things. And even then

Who excused their actions?

You did because now you "understand". Like you really don't understand.

Understanding what caused it doesn't excuse it.

I'm interested to know what your point was.

Two separate points, in response to two separate posts.

I don't think it would do either of those things. Nor did I ever say it would.

If that's what you think you wrote, maybe you're just a terrible writer
