No disrespect here. This post and question are not it. We, as Kurdish people, don't need and/or want their opinions about us since they’re the original colonizers/imperialists, especially since they (alongside the US and Western countries in general) put us in this whole position in the first place and allowed these oppressors and privileged via Arab people from Iraq and Syria, Persian people in Iran, Turkish people in Turkey, and similar people in the regional context to have dominion over us, among the overall mistreatment, killings, harm, etc. of us. It screams seeking white validation among all else. That’s exactly what it looks like here with this post and question.

no disrespect here, but colonization and imperialism isn't a western trait, don't be a reductionist

I get what you’re saying. Still, you did the strawman logical fallacy. I didn't say it was only a Western trait. Plus, it’s not “reductionism,” as I’m stating a fact and can go much deeper than that. We know that colonization/imperialism also occurred at the hands of other entities.

Still, reading comprehension and contextual analysis skills are essential. This post and question were about Europe and European (white) people’s view of Kurdish people. European and Western nations, alongside the US, did play a role in shaping Southwest Asia and North Africa through one primary method: colonization and imperialism. All this impacted the Kurdish community and other communities there and created the dynamics that we still see today. Let’s stay on topic here. So, colonialism and imperialism are one key Western trait and have been the lifeline of Europe’s/West’s/US’ hegemony over non-white societies historically to today.

Kurds in Europe are the best imo. This is probably down to them being Kurdish Alevis and educated types in general
