@pjw@randahl i dont think you understand the sensitivity of a "whites only" club being launched in #SriLanka again.
British Colonization ended less than a century ago, horrifying stories of how locals were treated at the hands of the Racist White Colonials are still widely known.
This is an under-reaction if any. If it were #India or #Pakistan, its very likely mobs would be stirring to punish the 're-colonials'.
Sri Lankan Gov is trying an incredible balancing act.
