In practice both paths were bad in varying ways, it's just that one was paved with a disregard for others, the second paved with good intentions.

eg: Daisy Bates oozed good intentions

and strongly put the case that:

     "As to the half-castes, however early they may be taken and trained, with very few exceptions, the only good half-caste is a dead one."

and a number of other firm opinions that spawned a regime of hugging "the good ones" to death while abusing the "in betweens".

But yeah, good intentions.
