Crossroads Of Oppression's End: Liberty Or Greater Tyranny-Part Four South Africa Session Five

 

The Coloureds (mixed-race) have fared much worse financially since the end of Apartheid. During that era, since Whites were a small minority and could hardly fill all the "creamy layer" positions, the Coloureds were given first preferences as Blacks were totally denied any positions unless it consisted of manual and menial labor.

In the last 27 years, legislation made it conducive and easier for Blacks to be proportionately represented in the industrial workplace. This hit the Coloureds the hardest. Unemployment soared.

The smallest remaining major ethnic group, the Asian Indians, have actually fared quite well since the end of "White Rule". Nearly all were self-employed as medical professionals or as trade merchants so they never relied on industrial or bureaucratic employment in the first place. Since people were allowed to freely travel in South Africa, they are probably the only ethnic group as a whole who have reaped economic benefits.
