You are treating one side differently from the rest because one side is in a dramatically different situation to the other side and you are acting as if they are the same. Slaves and masters, oppressed and oppressor, treated with the "same" moral and ethical rigour despite one side actively trying to exploit the other.
If you don't think the same is happening on your preferred side (or any side, really), then you have blinders on. Human nature is universal.
I still don't see any actual evidence of my supposed unequal treatment.
Wrong
If you think that China or Russia have ever done anything near the scale of the British Empire you are delusional. They operated the East India company for 300 fucking years. They literally starved over a hundred million people by their policies and 10 million at one time. Just between 1880 and 1920 the Raj claimed more lives than all the famines in the Soviet Union, PRC and North Korea combined. They operated the slave trade. They created zionism. They forced opiates into the Chinese then bombed them into submission when they tried to resist. They had a part in the full scale extermination of indigenous North Americans. They built global capitalism.
To say all things are equally bad ignores the part where one of these things is not like the others - The British are by far the most brutal and evil people to ever exist by a wide margin. The USAmericans are just the latest phase in the 500 years of anglo global domination and exploitation.

The opinion you linked is as flawed as the black book of communism. Not because of the findings, but because of the methodology of "guestimatting" the total numbers and making wild assumptions.
It's honestly taking AWAY from the evilness of British Empire.
(The opinion piece takes one of the most horrific crimes against humanity and makes it into a pastiche of itself by assuming basically π = 7)
