I guess I'm the minority here. I see it as pretty consistent with what they've done in the past:

Quote:
a term that includes black Africans, Indians and others who were subject to discrimination under apartheid
Sounds like a catchall definition to me and nothing that seems worthy of much more than a "that's interesting". It's just the legal way of correcting past wrongs.

That said, The_Faba obviously doesn't recognize an attempt to keep a violent revolution/genocide when he sees it. If the whites in SA had kept the stranglehold they had on the richest economy in Africa after the end of Apartheid, the poor would have revolted. As it is, there are still issues from time to time.

I hope Healer and/or Mandy wander by this thread soon.
