Correct Gilbakka.

Context and specifics of a story, statement, etc., are extremely important.

Context is that he was discussing Guyanese politics and how the British and the Americans saw Guyana.  In fact the English didn't see Indians as being any better and in fact in that period the African middle class was more involved in the civil service and other fields than were Indians.  The upper crust of Georgetown were neither Indians nor blacks.

So Cheddi cannot establish that British/Americans would have preferred a Hindu population to run Guyana instead of a Christian population.

He was injecting racial mischief in his usual passive aggressive way and then when caught in this trap concocted a lie.
