Colonizer is a descriptive term for someone who believes in and perpetuates ideas that separate us from each other, nature, our
people, etc or actively push ideologies that harm BIPOC.
It is not exclusive to one group of
people; however, it certainly describes a portion of
people that benefit from white 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: Native Genocide wasn’t that bad, they were fighting each other before we got here.
Person2: Colonizers did worse to natives than natives
ever did to each other and still do with their harmful ideologies.
Person1: pshhhh

Person2: Good
