Get the Colonial Fever mug.Having colonial mentality represents a misguided non-white person (commonly a Filipino, born or living in a white country) who is extremely white washed and conforms to white social settings due to their insecurity amongst his or hers ethnic or cultural identity and history.
The background of colonisation offers colonised people to perceive that their original nation was historically inferior since the Western cultures were able to triumphantly colonise, overall settling the idea of Europeans being superior. Effectively, this mentality causes members to unknowingly or purposefully reject and criticise anything topic-related to their ethnicity or culture as they may psychologically desire acceptance within their white society.
Attitudes + behaviours may include:
- Disliking/avoiding traditions
- Eating with European cutlery
- Dressing in fashion related to anything but their heritage
- Hating your (dark) skin tone, often using products that whiten or bleach ones skin tone
- Discriminating people of their ethnicity/culture, criticising their appearance or customs
- Values the European lifestyle and people
- Will be in a relationship with a person of European descent

Filipino teen with colonial mentality:
1) "Spain was able to colonise our islands, claim then establish it as the Philippines, therefore their domination makes me appreciate Western cultures because they are superior."
2)"I hate my cultural identity because we are politically and economically imperfect. This means people will think I'm lame."

These people tend to spend way too much time on tiktok, twitter, or tumblr, and create a whole personality only based on things they see online. They have no real interests and often fake mental illnesses to seem “relatable” or “different.” Some of these people often are also performative activists and participate in activism only because it is seen as “currently trending.” Some of these people also get angry if you don’t put trigger warning for unnecessary things such as: numbers, pronouns, MEN(wtf), white people(also wtf), and other thing you would encounter in a normal day outside of your house. A large majority of these people also go by just made up neopronouns that are so embarrassing that it’s making fun of the trans community at this point. (🖤/🖤self; 🌸/🌸self; bunny/bunnyself) There are so many other things wrong with these people and this is just a few, but I am SO SORRY FOR YOU if you’ve ever had to deal with anyone like this.
p1: Did you hear p3? They just yelled at me for not using a trigger warning for numbers.
p2: No way. I can’t believe those people exist outside of social media.
p1: I know. They’re definitely chronically online.
