You would have to announce it. Something like, we still want to remain in control of your country, live off your work like the monarchs of old, but we think that racism is wrong, so in the spirit of change we will grant a pass for .01% of your current demographic in the US to join us. So for black people we will give you 10% of .01%, so you get .001%. Boom done, now get back to work you ethnically diverse group of equally poor peasants.
