decolonization does not mean expelling immigrants or doing ancestry tests. To be honest it's a vague term with disputed meaning, but in my opinion, it means restoring equity to an inequitable society.
So does that mean the indiginous loose their special privilages or we get the same.
special privileges? Like, their sovereignty as nations?
You know, people in the USA have different rights than Canadians; Australians, Japanese, Chinese people, all have different rights. Perhaps in an ideal future we might not have different nations, and we'd have equal rights for all humans. But for now we live in a world where different nations make deals and arrangements and secure different rights for their peoples.
