Were white and black not considered as colors? Any answer will do. It's a fun question to make you guys think about some of the stupidity we had to deal with during the Apartheid years!

Sorry for the mistake in grammar, but I was a bit drunk when I came up with the questions I posted!

I wanna add this addition to the question: Do any of you know how Koreans, Chinese and Japanese were classified in South Africa during the Apartheid years, because some look white and black and colored... (To me at least!) Some people may differ on this and I would love to hear your opinion!

To wharlrus: You betcha buddy! How about "What does an acacia tree say to another when being eaten by a giraffe?" as my next question. Not too doff (?) for you?

Yes, it´s ridiculous, and good that we can laugh about it too.
And in the South of Spain here there is a big Moorish influence (they basically governed most of Spain for 400 years) and most of the people are quite dark.
The old Apartheid government would have had a tough time categorising them even though they are European.
Anyway, I am more of a spiritual person and growing up I realised I could just as easily have been born as a brown, black or pink person and may still do so in my next life.....
As long as I can marry my present wife again! (She is very patient with this Suid Afrikaanse kakmaker!)

certain, you would properly be seen white. yet, in South Africa it does no longer count number any extra, does it? you do not look "regularly" arab. And that guy contained in the video, would also be english. yet you need to submit to in ideas that carrying South Africans frequently have a tanned epidermis, giving them a browner epidermis colour than, shall we are saying, a white man or woman from the united kingdom. on the different hand, yet another crew of people that've white skins in iciness, can bypass out into the summer sunlight, and their skins turn a deep brown, compared to the suntanned epidermis of white South Africans. In South Africa we've epidermis colorations starting from an attractive deep black, or blue-black to the purest lily-white, so that you'll slot in someplace in between. Welcome to the rainbow u . s . of South Africa.

It is quite funny actually as we are all coloured. And white people are even more coloured than blacks and 'coloureds', Indians or Chinese and Malaysians. If you are not sensetive, read on the link below. It says it in a very funny way. Hope I don't get any thumbs down, just thought it was relevant to the question. -
You just have to laugh sometimes....

There was white and black and then along came brown which was refered to as the other colour, hence coloured.
