Awful takes from awful people
whenever you hear the word “decolonization” you pretty much know right off the bat that you are talking to a Marxist. These people have no real knowledge of history, or any other subject for that matter and are generally best ignored or ridiculed. Colonialism has pretty much existed since ancient times and there’s nothing inherently “white” about it… it’s just part of HUMAN experience.
It does kind of get into the idea that people from more white cultures were much more obsessed with putting their name on things and attaching their identity to ideas that weren't actually diving real world problems at the time. Like the Chinese remainder theorem solved a real world problem whereas the stuff European mathematicians were doing was more akin to philosophy. It wasn't until recent history that we've made use of some really old mathematical ideas. And like not to say other cultures weren't focused on more theoretical stuff, but the white hegemony would definitely discard whatever they did
