South African Apartheid laws were a system was used to deny many rights of non-white people. They started in 1948. The laws allowed the white minority to keep the Black majority out of certain areas. Black people had to carry special papers (passes) or have permission to live and work in particular areas.
I only have one question for you. How would you feel if I told you "white man" you can't come eat in my restaurant because you're white I don't care if you been starving. I see this as pure idioticness.
