Are you also suggesting Britain is responsible for the genocide of the Native American too ? There are many views that say Americans are the new colonists of the world. Maybe they don't always send a nuke first, but undermine countries with other things like unfair trading, bribery of 3rd world countries. America thinks, might is right. Which is how the Brits did it. We still colonise Don, but we use our language to do it now. You sell burgers.
The situation in Sri Lanka is tragic - i travelled there many years ago and it is a lovely island with reach history, culture, languages, religions - the civil war has been very destructive.
The colonization of Africa has left hostile and unending conflict in the wake of their departures. Dr. Harlan Lane and Dr. Paddy Ladd write a great deal about colonization and the Deaf experience in their books Mask of Benevolence (lane) and Understanding Deaf Culture (Ladd) as well as many other scholars.
the Indians of India who came to Guyana as indentured servants are now seen as the oppressors of Africans who were forced into the country as slaves. the story of colonization after effects is tragic. Interesting to see similiar struggles among the deaf/Deaf/hoh,etc.
Look at the Guyanese of Guyana, where our oldest daughter came from. The country was under Dutch and the British rule until 1955. There's so much racial and political tension in that country right now. Its all because of colonization.
