Because it would be their (the indigenous nationalists') undoing.

A racist with a gun is dangerous. A racist without a gun is just a
pathetic loonie.

Racism is an ideology. You should know as well as I do that ideologies
don't drive the world. Economics (and their more sophisticated form,
class struggle) do. A racist ideology can at best ever be a tool to
provide moral justification for an existing social inequality. Remove
the inequality (expropriation), the ideology will fart itself out.
