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.

There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

The girl's aunt and deceased grandmother (whom she had never actually met) were everything she wanted to be but wasnt in everyday life, still she posed as being just like them when everyone was looking, though there were no true similarities when nobody was looking. She did all this to gain acceptance and trust from her own family, since she didnt find either acceptance or trust anywhere else.

Liking who you are, and not feeling like you need to change who you are or what you (or your body) look like is not the same thing as being in love with yourself, so it's not narcissism. Bullshit people tell you it's all narcissism, then after they try and get you to focus on every flaw, the same bullshit people call it insecurity. Bullshit people want you to think you're more insecure than you really are so that you'll want to change, to transform into something you will like, then try and call it narcissism if you actually end up liking yourself, so really any changes you would make would be pointless in the first place, they were never needed and neither were the people who suggested the changes.
Being yourself and liking it(liking who you are) is not the same thing as narcissism. With people who like to call people narcissistic a lot, sometimes the pot is calling the kettle black, and the kettle is good the way it is. Sometimes the people that need a taste of their own shit the most are the ones trying to give other people a taste of theirs all the time.

I sure am glad I've never been in a heterosexual relationship. I don't like to make other people work so hard.
