Yeah. We were the colonized ones to be honest. Always the lesser under the Hungarians mainly.

Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch to be completely blunt

Idk I think it's pretty fitting. I just think it's an older type of colonialism, more similar to how the ottomans typically treated their holdings.
