Congratulations if you are Chinese

The High Court in South Africa has ruled that Chinese South Africans are to be reclassified as black people.

It made the order so that ethnic Chinese can benefit from government policies aimed at ending white domination in the private sector.

The Chinese Association of South Africa took the government to court, saying its members had been discriminated against.

An estimated 200,000 ethnic Chinese live in South Africa.

The association said their members often failed to qualify for business contracts and job promotions because they were regarded as whites.

The association said Chinese South Africans had faced widespread discrimination during the years of apartheid when they had been classified as people of mixed race.

The BBC's Mpho Lakaje in Johannesburg says the Broad-Based Economic Empowerment and the Employment Equity Acts were designed to eradicate the legacy of apartheid which left many black people impoverished.

The laws give people classed as blacks, Indians and coloureds (mixed-race) employment and other economic benefits over other racial groups.

The Black Economic Employment concept was initiated by the governing ANC to help previously disadvantaged individuals - to start their own businesses or become part of existing companies - thus redressing the country's historic inequalities.

Whites still on top

Our correspondent says the ruling provides clarity for corporations in South Africa on the rights of their Chinese staff - who were declared "coloured" under apartheid but are generally regarded as white today.

An example cited in court papers includes an oil company that disqualified Chinese citizens from getting a slice of its biggest empowerment transaction to date.

The company says the group is not catered for in the Black Economic Empowerment codes.

Another example includes a Chinese national who was refused an opportunity to buy shares from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange two years ago.

None of the three government departments cited as respondents in the court case opposed the application.

A study released last month revealed that white South Africans still earn around 450% more than their black counterparts, 14 years after the end of apartheid.

There's actually been a study about the whole "making more deal" and the study found that white and black doctors made the same amount of money, and the white doctors lived in these nice homes, while the Blacks had equally big homes, but they were bummed down and out.

The issue was that a white doctor lived with his immediate family, while, when a black doctor got a new house, his ENTIRE nearby family piled into the house. Obviously, with a huge number of cousins and so on and so forth, the house is going to look a little more dilapidated than the white doctor's.

This was an older survey from 2004-6, lemme see if I can find it.

However, it does bring an interesting point: Cultural values could really be the answer to why one civilization really is superior to another. So I'm sorry, while I don't find racial superiority valid (so don't even try of accusing me of being racist) I do think cultural superiority is certainly a real factor, and the intellectual Left's denial of this is rather amusing and disturbing at the same time.

I'll have to remember that if I visit South Africa.

In a new move to topple white domination in Africa, the African government has reclassified white people as black. It's really a win win for everybody.

Why don't they just declare all blacks Chinese instead? Or better yet, let's just declare that everyone is white.

Is that just Chinese, or all asians? They kinda look the same, at least to me (ignorant white person).

Well no matter how many opportunities they give the non whites the problem of laziness still exists. The whites are working for their money and everyone else wants it handed to them on a platter. By everyone else, I mean those in South Africa that are not white or chinese.

The whites in Africa are not the problem. They seemed to do pretty good and made something out of nothing. When they were killed and kicked off their land look at what the results were. It speaks for itself.
