I don’t think that’s the case. It’s just that Europe was able get the upper hand. The ill behavior that comes with that power is an indictment of the human species. China, Japan and Russia were happy to crush and exploit Korea without a European in sight, leading to the current fractured state. (It’s practically the setting of an RTS game.)
But maybe we’ll figure out a sociological trick that allows us to maintain an egalitarian society, but that’s for the survivors of the next few centuries to figure out. (And they may not be human.)
Huh. My take from Avatar was that the mighty whitey trope was less about distaste of non-whites, but insecurity of European colonial imperialists.
Remember: Imperialism is ok, unless you are European or caucasian.
