But white people did do colonialism, and a lot of people were "sad." Genocide and slavery do tend to make people sad.
That the Egyptians were willing participants in the mummy trade doesn't somehow cancel out the nature or effects of British imperialism, any more than Africans participating in the slave trade cancels out chattel slavery.
But fine - "white people did colonialism and everyone was sad and Egyptians helped." Would that satisfy you?
