It’s unfair to call the British Empire racist. They were just as happy to torture and murder white Irish or Boers as brown Bengalis or Black Kenyans /s

Wouldn’t it have been easier just to burn the colonial office to the ground?

Oh NO! When they finally achieve home rule, having to do it from the former colonial office is a symbolic chef’s kiss!
It’s a constant reminder, and gives them the feeling that the colonial government has just stepped out and could be back at any moment, so they’d jolly well better not get out of line. Keeps them in their place at no cost.

Ah, that Colonial Office. I was thinking of the chief British center of government in the country itself.
