In South Africa: Poor Whites, Rich Blacks white South Africans lament the changes that came with apartheid. A white South African father says, "...during the years of apartheid, let's say... I won't say it was right, but now it's just the opposite" (00:02:44-00:02:54). I think it is interesting how he considers apartheid "wrong" when he is on the receiving end of poverty and general miasma that he was more than happy for black South Africans to live under. That being said, the conditions of poor white South Africans are a result of the economic policies enforced during apartheid. While race can further exacerbate classism, these laws are designed to disadvantage underprivileged people. Hence, white South Africans are suffering because, as Lugalla said, no attempts were made to change the policies of the colonial state. Do you agree?
