Exactly how it should be.
I find it's mainly people who had a similar education to yourself, that are the hardest to reason with when it comes to British history.
Acknowledging atrocities were carried out by the Empire doesn't mean you can't be proud of positive contributions at the same time.
We should be proud of doing good in the world and learning about the not so good, means we can learn from it and not repeat it.
