The British who were responsible were 19th century planters. In the 1840s there were two strikes by the formers slaves who demanded higher wages and better working conditions. The first strike was highly successful and the planters had to concede.
They then decided that their best chance was to have an employment force which they could divide and rule. They then decided to start the indenture system and to bring in West Indian workers (mainly Bajans). The second strike failed as the immigrants didn't participate.
The largest group if indentures were Indians. By the 1880 the bulk of the estate workers were Indians, and they too had begun to strike for better wages and working conditions. The planters had by then succeeded in ensuring that the villages established by the former slaves had failed. They flooded them out and over taxed the villagers, and also prevented the villagers from acquiring more lands, and charged them heavily for lands that they rented to them.
So they used the black villagers and Bajan workers as scab to undermine the indentured workers.
I hope you will see how silly you are by claiming that the British of today care one white for what British planters did over 100 years ago.
We can only hope that the forensic and other assistance that the UK and the USA are providing will be put to good use, and not used in a witch hunt. If it is the latter the APNU AFC gov't will lose in court and look even sillier than they currently are.
