Colonial racial mixture was permitted locally but barred from the metropole

Evidence

Under Dutch company rule, lasting until the end of the eighteenth century when the Company went bankrupt, mixed marriages were permissible in the colonies, though restricted from returning to the Netherlands for fear of unsettling the political order of the metropole. Across the period, there were something like 1,300 legally recorded unions between European men and local women of color at the Cape, no doubt considerably more unrecorded if not thoroughly unacknowledged. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1320
