Many of these ideas not shared by immigrant communities.
We have a past, of course, you could certainly argue a lot of it exploitative, but we also built infrastructure, and brought wealth and knowledge. A lot of which is still utilised by these nations.
I don’t carry the burden of previous generations Questionable actions on my shoulders, But I do recognise many of their achievements. Am I biased, of course I am, and I don’t care.

I do not hate my self. Once you start with the personal ad-hominem attacks then you have pretty much lost the argument. So thank you for your post ..
You list a set of virtuous traits that represent your perceived "culture" but the end of the political spectrum you seem to affiliate yourself to is dedicated to the opposite so you seem to be a contradiction.
You also aim to validate Colonialism by the perceived benefits the occupier gave to the occupied. You clearly abdicate yourself and your "culture" of any negative aspects associated with Empire but are more that willing to claim its "benefits". A wonderful smorgasboard of contradiction.
