'White guilt' is the go to phrase but 'Colonial guilt' might be a more accurate term for this.
This doesn't make much sense . These terms are not inter-changeable.
There is slavery guilt which refers to Caucasian-Americans treating African-Americans as second class citizens for the better part of 3 centuries , there is colonial-slavery guilt that the Belgians have wherein the violent methods used such as the chopping of African limbs for not meeting daily quotas led to an environment where violence on such a scale became desensitized leading to modern day Congo as we know it. We then have 'colonial guilt' which was nothing more than economic warfare where in a Britain which was still White imported raw material at knock down prices from it's colonies , manufactured items in Britain (i.e jobs for White Britishers) and sold them at inflated prices back to their colonies (artificially creating false markets). The galling part about all this is that there are still stolen artifacts from India and China lying in on British shores and the English and various other colonial powers still haven't acknowledged their roles in some of the darkest periods in human history.
Thankfully , here in America even though racism might be on the level of Europe we understand we are all immigrants and we are all welcome. Some of the Euro dudes talking about immigration in isolation without discussing historical factors of their so called supreme white societies that have led to all this need their head checked.
