The Rise of the Creolo Alite

In 17 95, the council of the indies had cluded that continuing the rigid racial cast system in their colonies was unsustainable. So they introduced a new law that in effect allowed dos that is mixed race, white and african, to purchase legal whiteness. If you were a mixed race merchant and had done well for yourself, you could literally go buy a piece of paper that made you legally white. And as had happened in san domain, the home government trying to undo the racial cast system stoked further resentment among the criolo.
