Hating them is the mark of morality. Them happening in the place you were born hundreds of years ago doesn’t mean you should take it personally.

But hating Germans and hating Nazis isnt the same. The degree of separation is quite important.

So is the distinction between hating the British empire and British people. The empire caused mass harm around the globe, like the Nazis did. Your concern seems to be about people’s view of the empire, which would be similar to someone complaining that people unfairly hate the German government of the early-mid 1940s…

That’s exactly my point. Hating British people and hating the British empire isn’t the same, no one is doing that. Don’t take it personally, think critically, not defensively based on what invisible lines you happen to be born between. If you want the world to improve, hate imperialism, no matter where you are from.
