That was in India where British behaviour was on the Spanish model, i.e. (overwhelmingly male) soldiers and administrators coming to run an empire rather than clearing the land of natives and setting up family farms. British colonisation of America was completely different with groups liked the Plymouth Brethren coming to start new lives, complete with women.
British behavior in India changed significantly when the Suez canal came in and more British women followed their husbands to India. That largely backs up everyone's points.
In my Spanish Intervention TL, northern Brazil is a Dutch colony and largely settled by Calvinists from across Europe, complete with even gender ratios. This leads to development of a racial ethos much more like that of the OTL Anglo South. In Dutch North America, a very different settlement pattern is emerging, and it will have very different effects on racial ideas. Meanwhile, French *Argentina and the Danish far northern territories are going to have such low and heavily male-dominated levels of white migration that they are going to end as heavily Amerindian as OTL Paraguay.
So, I'd say the best way to do it would be to keep British migration levels low, and change the pattern of colonization so as to have a disproportionate number of males. Not pilgrims, but gold prospectors, say, or traders. Also, any kind of law or custom restricting female migration to the New World would bring about this effect.
