Just to add and this is old background info - 1990s.
I worked in The Bahamas for a short time years ago and was amazed, indeed incensed, when:
On a night my “local” colleagues took me out for dinner as a thanks for my contribution I expressed an interest in visiting The Casino.
Slightly funny looks ensued.
They took me there and we all went in.
I had a bit of a flutter.
I asked my colleagues why the didn’t have a go.
They were all indigenous black people and told me that they were not allowed to gamble by law.
The white locals could!
Needless to say. I left immediately extremely angry!
Don’t know whether still relevant however may still perhaps permeate authoritarian thinking in govt.
