    Colonization 101.

    Say you’re a conqueror and you pull up on an island with three tribes. The Lions are 75% of the population and control 95% of the wealth; the Tigers are 22% and control 4%. The Bears are 3% of the people and have 1% of the wealth.

    You, the colonizer, give the Bears weapons and let them keep 2% of the money. You keep 98%.

    The Lions and Tigers hate the Bears way more than they hate you.
