Wondering if that fool understand the above,he tries to bolster his racist argument by bringing forth the Uganda Asian expulsion crisis and wants to apply it to Guyana.

There were dire consequences on Uganda via the Commonwealth.  India could not act directly as these people were British passport holders, not Indian.

My father was in Nigeria in 1974 and saw the animosity between some locals and the Indian community there.  The Indians actually did not want to have anything to do with Blacks, except business dealings. The Indians never attended any social events, not even their weddings, etc.  There was a lot of negative sentiments which he felt.  It changed for him when they saw he was different and was interested in their events.  And they became very accommodating.

On my visit to Kenya many years later, I saw the same, but not as extreme.  Many older Indians did have an attitude, but I'm not sure they knew what their kids were doing in Carnivore Friday/Saturday nights.  Let's say, it was a bit of a melting pot!
