My observation from my work overseas is that when you have layers of colonizers, the earlier layer it assumes victimhood by the new layer, and discounts their own bad behavior. It is perpetuated by identity gridlock. So there is a lot of discussion of what independance was to who at various times. Happy personal independence day!
