The High Court in South Africa has ruled that Chinese South Africans are to be reclassified as black people. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7461099.stm)
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.
Well both races look so much alike that this was really inevitable..
