Basil Butcher – the first Aboriginal to don “whites” for the West Indies?

its a sham. In Guyana he was what they would call "mixed race" since he was part of at least 3 groups of people.

I thought that Ivor Mendonca was the first.

His grandmother was a “full out” Amerindian.

The selectors were all eyes as they watched the young man from Port Mourant,

who was carrying on in the shadows of John Trim and Robert Christiani.

so does that make him amerindian?
