Thanks for having the awareness of the atrocities committed by the British. While British characters in the movie may look like "cartoon baddies", the kind of atrocities the British did on their colonies is no cartoon material. They really did many unspeakable things and committed genocide of millions in the subcontinent alone.

The British Empire certainly did some awful stuff. Anyone who thinks the British Empire took over other countries purely for the benefit of the locals must be a bit dim. But I'm not sure 'genocide' is a fair accusation. Certainly large numbers of Indians (and Irish and others) died due to their callous policies (e.g. Bengal and Irish famines), but I'm not sure that classifies as genocide.
