    If the British showed up, they tried to genocide, that’s just what they do

    I mean only if it’s non-white people. They’ve helped white people out sometimes - of course only when it’s aligned with their interests.

        Here in Estonia (very white folks, we’re pretty far north), the Brits lent us a few ships the first time we broke free from Russian rule. So what I meant is if you’re white, they’ll occasionally help you (probably to get back at another empire), but if you’re colored, they’ll genocide you and take your land for sure.

          Yes, I’m highlighting that the definition of white has changed over time.

      That’s absolutely not the case, you do a disservice to yourself if you don’t spend some time to learn more about the history of British aggression against other white people groups.

        The British literally helped my extremely white people gain independence. They don’t always genocide white people is what I meant. They only sometimes genocide white people. They always genocide non-white people.

            Is it? Comment above mine says that if the Brits showed up, they definitely genocided you. Mine says that it was only guaranteed to be genocide if you’re not white. The “might still be genocided if you’re white” part was left for the reader to infer, that was an error on my part, as it was a bit too subtle for no reason.
