    The East India company wasn’t racist, there was no racism back then, for a white Englishman it was his Christian duty to trade with, and bring British Christian ideals to the countries it traded with.

    As a young boy living in my shire in the early 60s I didn’t encounter one person of colour, j neither thought racist thoughts or saw racism by my peers, to be blunt there were none.
