Extermination of American Indians was effectively forgotten by the world by 1940

Evidence

The United States saw itself as the standard-bearer of democracy, and discrimination against blacks was the greatest blot on its reputation, apart from the virtual annihilation of the American Indians, which the world had more or less forgotten about, and the country’s imperialist policy towards Latin America, which had nothing reprehensible in it in the eyes of the equally imperialist European powers. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1477
