Every civilization has its power struggles and conflicts. Starting with the earliest humans who learned how to order, categorize, and create systems.
European colonialism is an issue because they were outsiders controlling other groups, taking from their civilizations, bringing their own problems to these civilizations, and then pretending that THEY are the good and pure who were sent to civilize and save a group of people.
If this good versus evil hadn't been perpetuated by people of European descent for so long, there would be less of a need/desire for others to pretend that Africans, Native Americans, and other groups that have been infiltrated were peaceful and idyllic. It's an attempt to balance the scale.
