In South Africa, Chinese is the New Black
Monday, July 28th, 2008In other news from around the world…
WSJ reports:
A high court in South Africa ruled on Wednesday that Chinese-South Africans will be reclassified as “black,” a term that includes black Africans, Indians and others who were subject to discrimination under apartheid. As a result of this ruling, ethnically Chinese citizens will be able to benefit from government affirmative action policies aimed at undoing the effects of apartheid.
You just can’t make this stuff up. The notions of “multiculturism” and “political correctness” run amok as practical applications. Not just an American export.
Sort of like renaming “illegal” immigrants as “undocument,” and offering them health benefits, education, etc.
It’s all just semantics, ’til the taxpayer gets the bill.
