If you strip the land of resources when you owned it such that people can no longer use it, your colonization of that land – while in the past – is still relevant to the people now trying to eke out an existence on that land.
Playing prescriptionist with definitions isn’t going to absolve Europe of the still ongoing effects that their colonization has caused.
