Japan: am I a joke to you!?
It's nowhere close to true even with the most revisionist views of history - what's also funny is the definition of white also isn't some set in stone thing and has changed greatly over time.
Colonialism absolutely fucked things up in large parts of the world (all of it?) but it wasn't just done by anglo/white dominant countries though England and Spain together account for a loooot of it.
