When people are brainwashed in society from the time that they were young to see the koolie as a subhuman inferior then the institutions of society just become a continuation.

Dr. Odeen Ishmael shared his experience about how Indians were viewed and treated in British Guiana.  He said the Africans felt socially superior to the Indians because they were educated according English standards and were employed in the civil service.

Is he right?

If you read Edgar Mittelholzer's book on British Guiana society then it does prove that Dr. Odeen has a point.  My view of the issue is two-fold that experiences from colonialism has brainwashed people into the belief that the East Indian is a subhuman individual but most importantly the experiences from colonialism has grounded in people in an unbreakable belief that they should only be ruled by their own race. 

I went to school in Guyana and I experienced racism at the hands of Afros. If I say I did not I will be lying.
