Colonization is a bad word?

On a recent Space Show, Dr Space said that the word "colonization" implies oppression to some people.  I think that is rather silly.  It is only a word, but people do get hung up on words.  The "frontier" doesn't appeal to people in terms of space either possibly for the same reason.

If you substitute "settlement" for colonization, it supposedly is a better word.  Guess what?  I am not going to do that.  Just because a bunch of leftists want to knock American history, it doesn't mean that I have to accept their stupid premise.  They are just a bunch of ungrateful slobs who probably work for the government and the taxpayers, while at the same time, are biting the very hands that feed them.  Maybe if the taxpayer pulls the plug on these parasites, they may find that they have a good thing and stop knocking it.
