European colonizers repressed the heterogeneity their own mobility had produced.

Evidence

Having mobilized more or less robust heterogeneity into the region, Europeans sought to restrain and contain it, ultimately to restrict and repress it in various and vigorous ways. Restraint and restriction of hybridizing heterogeneity were a response to perceived immorality and the threat to presumptuous scientific perversion, to possible constraints on land enclosure and on the unskilled labor supply, and to sustaining order and power shaped by and through race. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1400
