Apartheid

The policy of racial discrimination and segregation practiced by the South African reactionary ruling quarters against the indigenous African population and in large degree against immigrants from India. The Africans were forced to live in the reservations (renamed Bantustans in 1959), had no civil rights, received lower wages than their white counterparts, etc. Although it is claimed to have ceased, Apartheid and its actual implications continue to exist in many capitalist parts of the world, including the US and Israel, where racial discriminations are very much a part of social reality.
