alina1380 [7]

Answer:

3 camps. 1) the ones who think they are better than others. They tend to treat citizens in their colonies as slaves or inferiors, and they think they OWN them.

2) the ones who are indifferent

take HK for example, i was listening to a professor the other day, the EU/UK settlers were grapping high end jobs and abusing locals back in the days, and they were in charge of law, so no one can touch them. And that EU settlers is better than locals mentality continue even till now, so EU settlers are living in mansions while locals are living in "shoebox"
