But... it is? Because there's this whole history of white colonialism and Orientalism and slavery and using "savagery" to justify invasion (see what countries like Siam/Thailand did to their culture to repudiate attempts), whereas the reverse is not at all true.

What do you mean the reverse is not true? What happened during the Middle Ages, the time of Knights? Muslim forces invaded Europe and tried to colonize it. A whole belief that Europeans were lesser infidel savages was rampant amongst the Moors.

People always forget that Europe was full of invading armies coming from practically every direction as well as the rampant slavery of Europeans. Hell, we get the word slave from Slav because Slavs were prized as status symbols and sex slaves because of their pale skin. Even the UK has the song Rule Britannia with the lyrics of;

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

Because at one point under the Norse invasions, one out of ever ten Britons was a slave.

da, Thank you! I didn't know some of this, so that's cool and informative, and also, it's nice that someone knows the whole root of the word "slave". Slavs get a lot of shit from almost everyone and SJW don't seem to believe we have any right to complain because we're *gaps* white.

You don't think the invasion of Catholic Roman armies and their colonization of the rest of Europe leading to the forced conversion of pagans to Catholicism fails to count here?
