Anglicized colonials faced exclusion even in the white colonies, not just through racism
Evidence
No one in their right mind would deny the profoundly racist character of nineteenth-century English imperialism. But the Pals also existed in the white colonies – Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. English and Scottish school-masters also swarmed there, and Anglicization was also cultural policy. As to Pal, to them too the looping upward path still open to the Scots in the eighteenth century was closed. Anglicized Australians did not serve in Dublin or Manchester, and not even in Ottawa or Capetown. Nor, until quite late on, could they become Governors-General in Canberra. Only ‘English English’ did, i.e. members of a half-concealed English nation. — Benedict Anderson, Imagined Communities, 369
