I'd love to read more about that! Normally, I'd just do my own searching, but since you have actual expertise in the area, is there someone in particular I should search for who explains this?

I also want to clarify that I'm not skeptical; on the contrary, I can think of three reasons off the top of my head, as a layman who knows virtually nothing about Esperanto, just based on you identifying colonialism as an issue, but I was hoping to get an educated take on it.
