As well as everyone else, why is it colonizing when the west do it to arabic mathematics and not when the arabs do it to western mathematics?
That argument is rather weird as mathematics was never about culture, but rather about logical truth
Since my example was apparently poorly chosen due to my own ignorance, and you're finding it worthwhile to have this discussion, I'll conclude that studying mathematical history ("decolonizing mathematics") is useful.
