Hahah that's hilarious.

I learned about similar incidents when I took a class on Southeast Asia. Basically if you get to write history, you can say whatever you want, ie 'we were the colonizers since XXXX' but the reality can be very different. Sometimes white dudes would show up and proclaim laws without bothering to translate them. I heard of a Dutch ruler who stubbornly insisted on wearing his traditional thick garb in Indonesia and of course he ended up dying from the heat.

The reality of the effects of colonialism are another thing entirely, but yeah.
