where did the postwar colonial immigrants come from?
As a result of the decolonizing of India, Jamaica and Hong Kong, Great Britain absorbed a large population of Indians, West Indians and Chinese.
From the decolonizing of Algeria and Vietnam, France absorbed a large population of North Africans and Vietnamese.
From the decolonizing of the East Indies, Holland absorbed a large population of Indonesians.
Australia and New Zealand absorbed a large population of Pacific Islanders as a result of obtaining protectorate over the Pacific Islands that were once part of the British Empire.
All of this was the direct legacy of colonization, and it led to western nations dropping the whole notion of white superiority, or the white man's burden, in favor of multi-cultural policies.
The immigration of colonial populations was fast followed by hoards of immigrants from other cultures seeking refuge in the new liberal multi-racial and multi-cultural western nations.
