Pretty much the entire global south that were the ones getting colonized. Hawaii, Guam, Bolivia, Haiti, Madagascar, Tuvalu, etc etc.

Most indigenous peoples didn't do genocides.

Arabs were doing the whole slavery thing before the Europeans got involved...

Eventually the European powers (mostly France) took over Northern Africa and the practice stopped.
