WishToBe...You are missing the point completely. The local v expat issue is not one of race, it it one of COS. A lot of the local boys and girls feel hard done by, and with good reason. A change in management from Colonial to local (?) may well affect that. That is fair game for discussion as is the colour of the Popes socks if we feel so inclined. So I don't really care if that is fine by you or not!
Carry On!
