    On the contrary, they did this so that Chinese in South Africa could then avail themselves of public benefits that are legally available to blacks only. This was an effort to help disadvantaged Chinese with extra public resources. But they did this rather foolishly. Instead of reclassifying Chinese as Black, they should have just amended the public assistance law to include Chinese as also being eligible.

    This, I believe, is a vestigial holdover from their apartheid mindset, where race should be the ultimate determinate; rather like the tail wagging the dog here, IMHO.
