I just rememberd a travel experience that I witnessed back in the later '70s....
My family were vacationing in England. I was just kid back then. One day we were in London near the old South African Embassy. A while woman and a black man were butt-naked on the ground in front of the embassy and they started having sex. On their back, they had writings protesting the apartheid... needless to say, my parents dragged me away ASAP.... but I had seen plenty...
Back to the original topic.... I did a little searching and found out that the Japanese had "honorary white status" in South Africa back then... the same applied to Koreans, Chinese, and other non-black/non-white...
