Why not?  Are you saying that only a colonized person can relate to the plight
of the colonized?  I have never suffered from the AIDS virus, yet I can
certainly sympathize with those who have.  I don't pretend to know the pain
they feel, but I can certainly attempt to offer my own interpretation of it
and thereby offer some sort of sympathetic mind set.
