One of the longest-running propaganda campaigns in the west is the racist one against Zimbabwe.

They whitewash the atrocities of Rhodesia and cry about how ethnonationalists lost their haciendas and their slaves.
In order to create Rhodesia, African families were forcibly evicted from their land.
10,000 families owned 51% of the total lands (not all whites had land either. They made up about 8% of the population.)

And the rest of approximately 6 million people were forced onto unarable land.

But no one in the west cried about forcibly evicting non-whites.
