Complicity is only with those willfully ignorant, I imagine. Colonialism ~is~ a malevolent mass. "Rich white persons" tend to be the force behind colonialism, but theoretically it could be anyone.

What about Chinese colonialism?

Certainly in effect.

So I'm assuming you're of native ancestry in your particular region.

People can migrate without being colonists. Certainly a lot of historical migration was due to colonialism, but someone who moved to a developed country last year (from either a developed or undeveloped country) clearly isn't guilty of it.

Second, even if the parent commenter's ancestors were colonists of some stripe, people aren't bound in any way to say that the actions taken by their ancestors were the right ones.

I'm not pretending to claim some sort of native ancestry, and being the result of colonialism doesn't preclude me from disapproving of policies and interests beyond my control.

What rule is there against condemning your own ancestors?

Rich whites were specified.

It still groups a large amount of people under one banner segmented with race as a variable.

Why can it not just be "rich people"?

No no, the point was that we're a differentiated malevolent mass.

Well, to be fair, I think the commenter meant partly malevolent and partly unintentionally harmful.

I did not realise that rich people were all evil...

It was a racist comment
