    The racist hypocrisy of the UK government is quite simple - the Falkland Islanders are white and the Diego Garcia people are brown - as anyone in the British military will say openly after a few drinks in the pub of Port Stanley.

    Ahaaaaaaaaaaa...!!!
    The Brummie copper has been reading the Malvinas 2021 census...!
    And his detective senses immediately spotted that 9% ongoing South East Asian “invasion”...
    Cleverly disguised by them Communist Chink Oddjobs as an inocuous “Philippine Mailorder Bride” business...

    Now..., seriously... ;-)
    To whitewash and whiten the darkening future of them Windblown Isles (and earn some very good monies)..., the still dominant white Kelper male minority (In dire need of female company)..., should contact Brutish Home Secretary -CRUELLA BRAVEMAN- and arrange for the monthly shipping of some 101 Dalmatian human female youngster natural blonde refugees... (Or similar, depending of stock...)

    Capisce...?

    Actually Trunks, I was thinking of the Saints and the Chileans. Seem to recall some Zimbabweans opted to stay too.

    The racist hypocrisy of the Argentine government is quite simple.

    ”At the end of the colonial period, Blacks constituted approximately a third of the urban population. According to the census of 1887 and the opinions of contemporary observers, the urban Black population declined numerically to roughly half its colonial size and fell to an inconsequential 2 percent of total population by the end of the century. How did the Black population of Buenos Aires disappear?
    It is widely reported that president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, undertook a ‘covert genocide’ that wiped out the Afro-Argentinean population to the point that by 1875, there were so little Black people left in Argentina that the government didn’t even bother registering African-descendants in the national census.”
