And besides, the majority of British people suffered as much under British Imperialism as anyone else.

And anyway, just because Europeans discovered the rest of the world, it does not mean we want them all to come and live with us! The Japanese aren't queuing up to come here (except as tourists). They looked, learned and created their own affluent society. It is hard work, of course. Much easier to come to Western Europe or America where most of the hard work has already been done - by my parents, grandparents, etc.
