The difference is that the British, instead of killing the "lower races", sought to reform them with what history indicates was a genuine sense of altruism among British Empire-builders.
Hitler put the minorities in gas chambers.
England invited minorities to Oxford and taught them everything they knew.
If you believe England didn't gas minorities, then you should read up on what Churchill did to the Kurds during the 20's.
His treatment of the bengals was worse. Nevertheless my point stands

The Empire understood that collaborative local elites were beneficial for the plundering of the colonies, and where necessary, it invested in them. That's all.
You can find cynical explanation for every act of altruism if you want to. Bottom line is there were plenty of powerful British idealists and humanists with a vision for the world who acted to help the colonies at Imperial expense.
Do you know what another regime is that had a legendary ability to organize? NAZI GERMANY.
