What I say has been practiced in many european nations and the community itself.  Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore Ireland, all are practical expressions on needs based conflict transformation.

Malaysia and Singapore still have ethnic issues, papered over only because a single ethnic group is dominant so the minorities have to be quiet.  Northern Ireland's problems are hardly resolved and there are fears that Brexit might reactivate the tensions.  I wasn't aware that Taiwan had two ethnic groups, almost equal in size and power.

We dont talk about Brazil's ethnic issues or Cuba's even though they exist.  The blacks and other darker people are so over powered that they can murmur, but pretty much must accept status quo.

Guyana has two groups, both strong enough to seriously damage the other, so neither interested in accepting status quo.  Do you think that Charran is seen as a hero because of his "conscience". No he represents revenge against those who betrayed the tribe (Nagamootoo and Ramjattan).   When Hoyte told Green to behave himself when the PNC lost in 1992 he was similarly considered a traitor and as a result the PNC lost the GT mayoralty in 1994.

Nothing is perfect. Anything beyond the blackman/coolieman paradigm is better for us.

Ireland is not in flames and the people no longer hide in their houses and bombs are not going off in the street left and right. Brexit is a different beast.

Taiwan had to deal with the new comers who were mainly army folks fighting on the mainlanders and the local chinese. They were the same ethnicity but the alienation was outsiders vs insiders.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with what we are talking about but the pathology arising from it.
