   Ah, South African racism.

   Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

   Alas, apartheid has taught no lessons. Racism is still alive and well.

   Fun fact: the Japanese are considered white by many other East Asian peoples.

   Wow. This is bizarre! I understand the need for righting the wrongs of the past but to name a distinct group like the Chinese as “black” sounds confusing. And may infact cause more problems.

   They stopped “righting the wrongs of the past” many years ago.

   It’s all about creating new wrongs now.

   I was dubbed an honorary black man once by my friends. I was so proud.

   So if Chinese people are just plain old black how come Japanese are only “honourary white” not good enough to be white but you can hang round with us if you want. To prevent segregation in a country put them in catorgories and give benefits to some and not others…… genius

   the old RSA used to have racial classification boards.

   Where you would be measured for tell tale signs.
   Nose width and lip depth, hair curl and the like.

   I really wish i was making this up.

   It was like some sort of dog show.

   And some of the definitions they came up with were very odd, ie the Chinese are black.

   Reminds me of a story I heard.

   A pilot is forced to land at a US airforce base in Greenland. It soon becomes clear he’ll be there for a long time as the weather closes in.

   On the base there is little besides a PX store and a cinema. SO he goes to see what is on at the flicks.

   At the ticket booth a bored looking Pfc eyes him in a boered manner and points at the sign over head.

   It read

   US Air Force Personel : $1

   Eskimo…………….: 25cents

   The private says, “Military?”, no says the man, “Eskimo it is” he is told.

   Reversing bias by introducing bias is not a solution to racism. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
