British Guiana was a British Colony. Even Africa and Asia was ignored as the place with large ethnic population. The few whites juss dominated the place. I doan know why Eric seems to think that the British cared for the Black ppl thoughts on the matter. He should thank Gandhi, for him alone stopped it. Indian immigration never stopped in Africa, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore and wherever else British interests were paramount. Guyana only had sugar in a rapid changing world trade.
