Thinking that all groups of white people (Europeans) colonized everything is ignorance, and it spreads like wildfire. You don't hear about many Russian or Polish colonies outside Europe/Eurasia. You don't hear about many parts of the world colonized by Eastern European groups. The Greeks also don't do much colonizing in recent history, so it's mainly been about 7 or 8 groups of Europeans (the Vikings did land in North America a thousand years ago) in recent history that did most of the colonizing worldwide (English, Dutch, German, French, Belgian, Spanish, Portugeuse, and Italian). Those 7 or 8 groups have had a lot of the influence in Europe, so people in other parts of the world wouldn't have any more time to differentiate between an Italian and a Bosnian than someone in Europe would have time to differentiate between a Tanzanian and a South African, thus theres a lot of assumptions and ignorance based on what people look like.
Not even every family in every country that did colonize other parts of the world was involved in colonization. There were people/families in England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium that didn't have the time on the money to go out and explore the world, look for gold, or enslave other groups. They were going to work for the same kinds of people that were colonizing other parts of the world.

Girl- People think I'm strong. They think I'm tough.
Observer- They think you're strong because you mislead them to think you were strong Percy.

A female that roots for the gangs when they triumph, and becomes a gangbuster if somebody defeats the gang, that way she gets credit either way for not being one of the losers like the boys.
The mouse girl was always looking to turn males into mice so she wouldn't end up a mouse by herself.

In a Jim Carrey movie kindness might seem like weakness or the world might seem like a bubble because it's a movie.

A word that people who are too much of a pussy to call an awesome an awesome to use to describe an awesome (even though asshole is simpler language).
The guy had known he was an asshole for a lifetime already, but the girl wanted to try and either go over his head or around the bush about what she really wanted to say to him, that way he could always stay either the rude one or the polite one,and she could keep a little control over someone else, since it made her feel like she had control of herself (which felt powerful rather than weak), so she called him unique.
