Strawman alert.
Who said that? No one.
The context of the story determines it. Avatar clearly operates on the concept that colonialism was nothing but evil Europeans taking away resources and lands from those poor innocent natives. It is an allegory in space with clear themes.
Not every advanced/primitive society story involves colonialism but Avatar does.
