I'm not sure people have all that much choice. We are limited by our genetics and our circumstances (IMO). I don't know what to tell you about the word inconvenient. Someone who lost a family member in the Holocaust surely thinks the Germans were terribly evil. A German of the same time period wouldn't think that at all. I find it very easy to balance the interests involved without calling anyone evil. The Germans were an impediment to all life around them preceding in a normal way. As such they are, imo, totally analogous to an extremely virulent germ. The germ isn't good or evil in itself (and of course this is my opinion of all cultures - they are neither good nor evil- they simply are) but some cultures/germs imperil what is outside of them. It seems to make sense for the body/cultures in danger of what is virulent to them (but not necessarily evil) to mount an attack. I don't think humans are very complex. The more I know humans, the simpler they seem. We seem to be quite quite limited. Maybe we are fatally limited. As a human, I am inside the human box, and cannot analyze the system from the outside as I would really love to do.
