The People involved?
The Police and the Victims The Islanders
What Happen?
The police would go to house of over stayer( Islanders) ask for there passport and if they don't have one they will send you back to were you came from.
Why did it happen?
The reason why it happen was because the Islanders were over staying on the country. So the cops went looking for the over stayers so they could send them back home.
Why were white people racist?
I'm not to sure about that question but I think they weren't use to black people (islander) over staying in there country and they didn't like that because it might of been new for them seeing black people over staying in there country.
How would White people feel Today
about the treatment islander were given?
I would think That some white people would feel sad and angry because they were actin racist and should of given them a second chance, While the other half of white people would think that they deserved it for over staying in there country with out permission.
