    I argued against Europe having benefited from having colonies in the Europe community, which by its nature is eurocentric.

    As I said Europe should pay for its crimes and I fail to see, that crimes need to benefit the criminal to be considered crimes. However that obviously makes reparations a lot more complex.

      The statement in your first paragraph (that you later try to prove as true) is flawed because it is eurocentric.

      Eurocentric does not mean talking about Europe. It’s about having a biased perspective that favors or exonerates western civilisations for crimes they committed. Among other things, of course.
