Reminds me of the Greer Barnes joke about Africanized Bees, except his joke was against racism and this one appears to be for it.

It’s about European Colonialism, comparing Europeans to Pests or Plagues, and I find that problematic.

Cry more. The bones of your imperial subjects could not care less about your pearl-clutching.

I don’t need to be European to defend Europeans. I don’t need to be African to defend Africans. I don’t need to be Asian to defend Asians. It’s called not being a racist asshole.

Isn’t this one about foreign bee species, such as honey bees, are introduced into ecosystems where they outnumber native bees? And they eat all the nectar but do a horrible job of pollinating so the situation ends up worse? Sounds like colonization, not racism.

Colonization was not specific to Europe, nor is it even relevant to it in the modern age.

If France wants to reimburse Haiti for the independence debt, it’s welcome to start at any time; I’d hardly begin to say that colonialism isn’t relevant – even in the modern age –, for Europe.

Haiti looks like a country to me.
