We shouldn't view history with contemporary eyes, it blinds our judgement. Trought time, there has been plenty of eslavement, ethnic cleansing and raping. It wasn't invented by Europeans, nor they were the only ones that practiced such brutality. Precolumbian Americans did it often, just as Africans, Asians and everywhere else were the humans have lived.
French Guyana is a south American territory, it belongs to France thru colonization (time will come when South American countries, especially Brazil will press the issue though)
Also in South America we have the Falklands belong to the UK (why is a country over 5 thousand kilometers away from those islands there?) I am sure eventually they'll have to let it go. (the US already told them they are 100 neutral on the matter and will not get involved as it would against its McCarthyist doctrine)
Several islands in the Caribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe) are French, so is an island right off the coast of Canada.... why?
UK virgin islands, cayman islands = UK..... why?
Greenland, an enormous island sitting on the extreme north of the North American plate belongs to denmark.... why?
shouldn't the americas make an effort to kick Europe out? why are they allowed to have land on a continent that is clearly not theirs?
I'll tell you what. If the USA gives back California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas to Mexico and then gives, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota back to Canada then I'll say that what you are saying makes one iota of sense.

They didn't, they belonged to British North America and were bargained away by the Brits over the objections of the Canuks.
