That statement says more about you than him, imho - it's not that he doesn't want to think about these things, it's that he doesn't, because they don't affect him (but he thinks perhaps he should, because they affect others).
a) he doesn't criticise anything - he is pointing out things that happen to others every day
b) "human nature. and an everyday occurrence" -
- 1) it was human nature to keep slaves, steal cattle, and take from those weaker than ourselves; we have managed to (mostly) grow out of that part of our human nature.
- 2) "everyday occurrence" - that, my dear boy, is the problem - treating people differently/as less because they are different, shouldn't be an "everyday occurrence", and accepting it as such makes us lesser human beings.
