Exactly.
The problem is those countries were the 19th century colonialist mindset isn "something we fortunately left behind" but instead is alive and well.

They'll formally apologize, as talk is cheap, and then do nothing further.
And no, I'm not at all kidding or exaggerating: this is THE most common strategy in British Political and Social Elite circles for getting rid of such "problems" when denying it doesn't work.
Deny it, deny it was a problem, deny it was systemic, apologize and claim it was too long ago and it's pointless to do anything about it now, is a well travelled multi-step strategy in British politics (THE main strategy, even) to avoid actual consequences for their actions or lack of action.
Certainly the posh ones will tell you they value your input as you scream from the pain due the knife they plunged into your back.
And the elites over there still think Genocide is absolutely fine as long as its Whites doing it to non-Whites, hence their support for Israel and its Genocide.
Britain is maybe the best example there is of an European country which culturally didn't evolve much from 19th century thinking, at various levels (their political system, too, is an earlier, partial form of Democracy easily subverted).
Plenty of people over there do have a XXI century mindset, but those aren't the ones with actual Power.
Kamikaze Trumpism!
Whilst I have no idea what this is, the British practice of putting vinager on one's chips yields surprisingly good results.
So, who is going to go to jail for "Contempt of Court"?
More seriously, if you order it from an Electronics supplier, you can get a 6.2 Ohm resistor with a mere 1% tolerance (in some cases, even 0.5%).
That said an EE, except in very specific cases such as reference resistors, would generally use a 10 or 5 Ohm one with 10% tolerance for any circuit that was supposed to be mass produced since it's far cheaper and much more easy to source in the size you require.
This is EXACTLY how it went for me when I moved from a Physics to an Electronics Engineering degree at University.
Also, the trying to understand how the various circuits worked from the point of view of "electrons moving" was a hard to overcome early tendency (even simple things like LC circuits, for example, are only really understandable as ressonant stable states and for complex circuits you really have to go higher levels than "electrons" to be able to understand then in any reasonable amount of time).
On the upside when we got to things like how tunnel effect diodes worked, the whole thing was just obvious because of having had an introduction to Quantum Mechanics in the Physics degree. Also the general stuff about how semiconductor junctions work is a lot more easy to get if you come from Physics.
(In summary: Physics really helps in understanding HOW the various components in Electronics work, but doesn't at all help in understanding how to use them to assemble a complex structure to achieve a given objective. Curiously this also applies to Mathematics and Software Development)
Theraphy, when it works, only solves internal causes of one's pain.
29 days away from present day society, will for a while suspend the external causes of one's pain.
(Which is why the former usually doesn't fully solve everything: the external shit, which often is what indirectly created much of the internal shit via things like trauma and coping mechanisms, is still there and pushing you)
As soon as the Zionist supremacists infiltrated and subverted this specific fight against Racial Discriminations, it was always going to turn into yelling at each other since their "arguments" don't work in the logical plane so they have to move the discussion to the emotional place, were they can use things such as Fear to really rally the masses whilst avoiding getting people thinking about it.
It's not by chance that they keep pulling out events from the Holocaust, 80 years ago, (and, worse, even whilst they themselves are committing a new Holocaust) to stoke Fear in some and Guilt in others, so that they indirectly get support thanks to the "criticizing Israel is anti-semitism" link they themselves created.
In all this, out comes a lemmy.world mod (a place which has a History of supporting Zionist Israel) using censorship and accusing somebody of being "Against the Race" when they dispute the balance between harm caused by anti-semitism and resources demanded to fight it in light of far more harmful and widespread forms of Racial Discrimination getting way less attention, EXACTLY as supremacists do (for example, the KKK when their claims of "attacks on Whites" are challenged, almost invariably end up accusing those critics of being "against Whites").
All this said, and to more directly address your point in your post, my objective with bring all this here was to raise awareness to such techniques and ideally get more people to come at things from a Humanist viewpoint of harm reduction to people rather than going along with the Racist viewpoint that it's races being harmed and that different judgment and treatment should be given to people of different races (even if the entry form into the Racist viewpoint is often a Racism disguised as "benevolent" - i.e. favoring specific races rather than disfavoring specific races).
Every person I convert to Humanism is one less person that falls into the trap of "benevolent" Racism (and either on the path to malevolent Racism, or easily manipulated by malevolent Racists) and this then gets reflected in the real World outside.
Humanists too fight against Discrimination (more broadly, against unjust treatment of people, especially harming them), only it's anchored in Principles about Natural Justice, and looking at and treating everybody who was born into an ethnic group (through no choice of theirs) the same, either better or worse than otherwise, isn't Just.
I think the profound contrast between the reaction from the British "Authorities" to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza, disproves the idea that it's all about money, especially given that there was a lot more money being made from Russia than can be made from Israel.
I mean, a musician is right now being investigated by the British Police for shouting his desire for death to the invader, genocidal army that's purposefully mass murdering children - that of Israel - whilst nobody in Britain was ever investigated by police for wanting the death of members of the invading Russian army in Ukraine, even though the latter is barelly targetting civilians and never explicitly children (unlike the former).
Racism, extreme and profound Racism even, is the most reasonable explanation for such a massive disconnect in their reaction to those two different aggressors in proportion to the crimes they're committing, more so given that a money reason would yield an unbalanced reaction in the very opposite direction.
