Sting The Dunlendings

Is it just me or do the rest of you feel pity for the Dunlendings.
Look at it like this

They were living around the White Mountains then Numenoreans came and claimed the land so the Dunlendings became vassals to a foreign ruler.
Then the Gondorians give away their land to a race that used to carry out raids on the Dunlending's land.
Finally the Dunlandings were driven out of their land to, as Christopher Lee put it, "Scrape a living out of barren rock"
If any of you are Irish imagine it like the Plantations, hmmn in fact the "barren rock" quote now seems strangely familiar ie "To hell or to Connaught"

I'm sure that someone is going to disagree with me and state the many indescressions of these people ie the Oathbreakers, the invasion during the Long Winter and helping Saruman (I'm glad this wasn't emphasised too much in the film)
