      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.
