Washington Post frets about 'violent history' of pumpkin spice

The paper reports that 'thousands were killed, others enslaved' over nutmeg in 1621.

The Washington Post is putting a damper on the fall by invoking the "violent history" of America's beloved seasonal tradition: pumpkin spice. 

The report titled "Fall’s favorite spice blend has a violent history" set the scene of the Dutch's 1621 invasion of the Banda Islands (located in modern day Indonesia), detailing that "Thousands were killed, others enslaved, and many who fled to the mountains were starved out."

What a dumb article.
It's a fact that some Dutch traders committed genocide to corner the nutmeg market.
It's also a fact that all of them died centuries ago.

I read Fox News' account of the Washington Post article, and not the actual article, but from what I read, it's not a dumb article at all.  It's just interesting history.  I don't get why anyone would object to that article.
