Colonial Hong Kong’s Racist Past
Today, the Hong Kong British colony is looked upon with a little bit of nostalgia. The colonial government was seen as competent and well-run especially in its later years. And those administrations did do some things quite well for all the people, not just the Europeans.
But that view ignores some 130 years of Hong Konger history. Hong Kong was founded - and for over a century - run as a capitalist paradise on the backs of the extremely poor. An extreme European inner circle ruling a vastly larger Chinese majority.
