Colonizer is a descriptive term for someone who believes in and perpetuates ideas that separate us from each other, nature, our people, etc or pushes ideologies that harm BIPOC. Ideologies being things like racism or
stereotypes in media are fine,
cultural appropriation isn’t a big deal, BIPOC are crybabies for educating people on history, etc.
It is not exclusive to one group of people; however, it certainly describes a portion of people that benefit from whte supremacy—an element of colonization.
No, “colonizer” is not a slur or
derogatory term.
So if that term bothers you, it’s probably describing you.
Person1: Natives didn’t
experience genocide what’re you talking about?
Person2: Over 95% of our people were wiped out with death tolls reaching 120 million from 1492 to now.
Person1: Whatever you’re just a crybaby with a
victim complex.
Person2:
Thank you for proving my point, colonizer.
