I teach a student who consistently uses the word "#colonizer" when referring to Europeans in early U.S. #History. It's subtle, but consistent and definitely intentional.

It only just occurred to me today that I often use "settlers" to refer to the same, even though I try to present a critical version of history in my classes.

Colonized language is insidious. Also, teaching #GenZ rocks.
