It's because that little chunk of South America is French Guiana, which is a full-fledged part of France (not just a territory, but a departement with political status equal to the ones in mainland Europe).
It's also where the European Space Agency launches their spacecraft from, by the way.
Cool. I'm not sure what that has to do with the continent, though. Politically, I'm uncertain if that would count as something other than colonization, either.
What exactly does this have to do with anything in the above comment?
