The White Stolen Generation have another angle of this story to tell. Australia essentially boosted its white population by kidnapping kids from low-income/poor/wrong-class families across the Empire and shipping them off to Australian families for adoption. Basically the same thing that was happening within Australia with the Stolen Generation (original land owners kids) was also being done at scale across the Commonwealth: human trafficking to increase the 'whiteness' of the population.
This is widely unacknowledged as a social ill in modern Australia, alas. But its still a source of immense pain and suffering for a lot of people - who had their kids ripped from them, and who had their families disappeared on the other end of a vague and distant memory of a boat ride that was supposed to be a fun summer break ..
A real tragedy that the British got away with their genocides.
