    It’s about European Colonialism, comparing Europeans to Pests or Plagues, and I find that problematic.

        I don’t need to be European to defend Europeans. I don’t need to be African to defend Africans. I don’t need to be Asian to defend Asians. It’s called not being a racist asshole.

          Europeans aren’t a race, and absolutely deserve any and all criticisms possible regarding their several-century-long project of brutality known as ‘colonialism’.

            It’s okay to acknowledge the sins of the past, to ask specific nations for reparations.

            It’s not okay to call an entire group of people based on ethnic and regional origins an invasive pest. That’s the same bullshit as MAGAts mad at China harassing anyone and everyone Asian.
