We call the current white people colonizers despite the fact that they never colonized us, but they are the descendants of actual colonizers. I don’t see the difference or the problem. https://twitter.com/skaterboyjet/status/1299815560784551936
Besides, people never call Zuko a colonizer to imply that he directly colonized the four nations. Most of the time, when they call him a colonizer it’s for highlighting the fact that ships like Z*tara and Z*kka are problematic. They also call Azula a colonizer so. 🤷🏾‍♀️
I love Zuko but you can’t go around and use this as an argument. Because if we apply this logic to real life and we were still living in 1545 or whatever, you know damn well that we would call the children of colonizers “colonizers”. https://twitter.com/skaterboyjet/status/1299815566732132353
