The first nuance is that people rarely exploited “natives” simply because they felt their race or culture was superior. Those are the excuses people made to justify, greed, corruption, and inadequate economic systems that were strained by war, famine, and policy.
Your points are reductionist and incredibly simplistic and I fear your version of a history book would only be about 3 pages long.
