@emptywheel FYI when Brits left, very often tribal feuds reerupted, up to mass deportations. Good that Brits kept docs away!!

@un_pellegrino Your logic doesn't follow. -
@emptywheel do you follow now? -
@un_pellegrino Still think comment is utterly illogical. Point seems not inter-racial tensions in country, but what whites did to subjects -
@emptywheel after brits left free for all, even files like who had reported murders to police opened ppl up to murder. -
@un_pellegrino And yet ... they left those files, chose to destroy other files.

@emptywheel do you have any proof at all it's about racism? Far more likely: abt cooperation w colonial govt, risked retaliation -
@un_pellegrino Hmm. Maybe that the entire classification system had Euro descent built into it? What assumption does that make?
