Let me try again.You're absolutely dead wrong. In Europe, "Asian" means indian only, never used to refer to chinks or japs. I've only ever heard of "asian" meaning ching-chong in places influenced by the US.
Apartheid is a tiered race system consisting of four classes:
Whitey
Asians(read: Indians)
Coloureds
Blacks
Chinese, by South African apartheid policy, were coloured. However, the majority of them ended up actually classified as Asian(read: Indians). I have read a couple of apartheid era books, but I've never found a compelling reason for why that was. Most Chinese obviously pass the pencil test with flying colors, and the tone/features/characteristsics tests puts them right next to the Japanese. I honestly think the government bearucrats just didn't know what the fuck to do with them when it came to actually assigning them a class.
