Mmm. What have you done to make sure you're not letting your ideology lead you into misinformation and misunderstanding?
In my experience, people who get mad about "decolonization" tend to either not understand what's actually being discussed or they got ragebaited by something inconsequential that they've blown up to ridiculous proportions.

You're essentially masquarading political activism as science, which discredits the whole enterprise
