I feel that Bartolomé de las Casas would have some things to say, yes.

I'm all for historical context and understanding people in the light of contemporary worldviews, but that's not a "get out of jail" free card.

(And doesn't mean we can't condemn actions as awful even if they were fully condoned by beliefs at the time.)
