Did you ever wonder who worked the sugar plantations in the #Caribbean after the #abolition of #slavery?
After the 1833 Emancipation Bill, the sugar cane industry had a problem. It needed cheap workers.
The solution was the importation of #indentured servants from #India and #China.

But #Chinese coolies were seen as "better", while #Indian coolies were regarded as childish.
The practice ended in 1912.
