"The Westerners who committed these actions were not in the minority but in the majority. "
Wrong. The majority of Westerners at the time of Imperialism were not imperialists, they were poor peasants without any power who stayed in their own countries slaving away trying to get food to feed their families.
“Westerners were (and still are) the most racist and intolerant people in the world.”
Norther and Western Europeans, as well as Canadians and North Americans are amongst the most liberal people in the entire world. Our countries are undergoing economic recession and yet we still admit immigrants whom we cannot really afford to care for right now, allow them to avail themselves of our tax-paid social services (even if illegal), give their women and children rights that they didn’t have back in their own countries and allow them to practice their religions and cultures in the name of “multiculturalism” even if those religions and cultures are not in line with our progressive and liberal ethos.
That’s why so many people still want to immigrate to Northern and Western Europe, Canada, North America and Australia, DESPITE the economic downturn these countries are currently undergoing.
Is everything about these countries 100% perfect? Absolutely not. But they are generally liberal and forward thinking wrt chidren’s rights, women’s rights, human rights and individual rights. There is a civic culture in these countries which the immigrants who come here do not have in their own countries, hence why they immigrate (and I don’t blame them I would to!)
Unfortunately the dogma of “multiculturalism” has made some new immigrants think that they don’t even have to bother to assimilate and learn the language of their new country and that they should gain all the benefits from citizen tax-payers even if they are illegal.
Some of these immigrants come from countries that do not have Feminism and they try to transplant their gender-biased and backward cultural “norms” onto the soil of countries that have been undergoing various waves of Feminism for several decades already.
You say, “And I disagree with the Westernization that the leftists desire.”
What “westernization” is that? In the US the far-leftists are anti-western civilization and often suffer from misplaced “white guilt” and seek to promote third-worldism in the name of “multiculturalism”.
Do some reading about “cultural marxism”.
If you are writing from India I realize that the leftists in your country are promoting something different from what they are promoting in the US, but at the end of the day its the same thing;
They seek to subvert the mainstream cultural values of any nation in order to gain cultural hegemony.
Again, if you read up on “cultural marxism” this all will be made very clear.
Regarding the connection between White Supremacy and Christianity, White Supremacy is a very small and lunatic fringe in the US and they do not, for the most part identify with Christianity because, Jesus was a Jew and Christianity was/is an Arab religion. Rather they identify with EUROPEAN PAGANISM and believe it or not HINDUISM.
Yes, there is a deep respect for Hindus and their caste/varna system amongst White Supremists and White Nationalists (2 different things you can look up the difference). There are even some White Nationalists who loosely self-identify as “Hindu”.
As far as Christianity being “racist” - while there may be racists within the religion, the ideology itself is not racist because it seeks to unite people from all races and regions of the world under the same religious banner.
What Christianity is - not racist, rather RELIGIONIST. It is a form of religious supremism.
Anyway, Christianity is dying in the United States. Most Americans do believe in God but many do not practice any specific religion. Buddhism is very popular. There are various other religions competing for the minds of believers and amongst them, Christianity is not winning.
The type of Christianity that is winning though is of the Unitarian and Universalist stripe which are more or less a mash-up of world religions with Jesus viewed as a Sage or Prophet, not the one and only saviour of mankind.
Multi-culturalism is winning here in the United States and the good side to that is that the fanatical bible-thumpers of a by-gone era are increasingly becoming a rarity.
The bad side of multi-culturalism though is that it may be that my country turns into one big third-world ghetto.
I’m not worried. By the time that happens I’ll be dead, gone and reincarnated somewhere else - hopefully on another planet!
