Same thing happened in Venezuela, they decided to "redistribute" land, and it made to less productive organization, many people of which didn't have the know how to be as productive as the people who did it before.
In that case wasn't so much white, it was a perceived difference in identity (landowners). Identity politics compete with merit/outcome politics, and end up not getting good outcomes, and then they get surprised pikachu faces when people start starving.

The Corporate US military is still eager to get back there to steal their resources.
