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?

Similar situation in all the former colonies not just British Colonies. In Haiti the lighter skinned or mixed race were given the civil jobs. Same thing in Rwanda with the Hutu and Tutsi. Colonial powers favored one race/group to control the other. We are too blind and stupid to see it and then it's too late.
