Thanks for the clarifications. Of course noone can be responsible for stuff that happened before their lifetime.
Our responsibility lays on to how we address this colonial past. The way I see things, we need to face it and address it, not put it under the rug. It’s the least we can do and its important to do so for the millions of people around the world who were not alive then, but still have to live/survive the outcomes of colonial past policies. Racism would be one of them, the list is long.
Yep, and a lot of racism is caused by people dragging up the past, and telling people that, for example “The Brits are to blame, you should hate them for what their ancestors did!”
It’s fucking stupid and does nothing but fuel hate
