The "abolish slave trade" was done in 1833. India was colonized in 1857 officially. Apartheid didn't end until the 90's

Britain ended slavery and started colonization. But yeah "they ended slave trade"

No amount of info will convince people that colonization was evil and abhorrent because they were party to it, they benefited from it.

Much of South India and Eastern India was already British ruled by the early 1800s.

Apartheid was started by the Boers (Dutch South Africans who also fought against the British) once they got autonomy in the 1920s.

Apartheid Era South Africa was also very anti-Anglo as well as anti-Black.

No they were not. They were run by private East India Company. With the revolt of 1857 and quashing of the rebellion, the official Raj by the British Royals began

You are still bickering over pedantic stuff. Britain profited from slave trade. They just didn't want to use the term "slave" and used "colony" instead.
