        You may also argue the Moors in Spain but it is a poor argument. The West has caused greater suffering, death and division than anyone else.

        No. All colonization was the same. Only difference is the scale. You can always see the same pattern of treating indigenous people by colonizators. The same could be observed in animal kingdom, when you introduce foreign species into ecosystem.

        The best place to start? Amitav's brilliant Ibis trilogy. Fiction never as historical and history never as personal. A summer's worth of rick, detailed, evocative pleasure, anywhere you're lying down to read... @GhoshAmitavhttps://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jun/05/flood-of-fire-amitav-ghosh-review-instalment-trilogy …

        I suspect you're thinking of smoking an elaborately carved pipe, while lounging back on brightly colored silk cushions. Dressed in a kimono. Chatting philosophically. When the reality would be be laying in your own piss, dribbling and muttering gibberish.

        Being a Chinese in origin, I know pretty well this Chinese proverb : One must humiliate oneself before others do so.

        There's no better example of Westerners' ignorance of China, even hundreds of years on, than this pic suggests. Do you know what the dress of the Emperor and the officials was like at that time?
