If a group of people: ✅ takes over lands where their culture didn’t form ✅ take resources to a central region from the new areas ✅ oppresses the local population ✅ forcibly assimilates local cultures into the dominant one Congratulations - that is colonialism. If you refuse to apply this definition, when it fits, because the people are a certain ethnicity—that is a you problem. Specifically, a racism problem. Sorry to destroy your noble savage delusions.
