I don't think changing "blacks" to "non-Europeans" was a good idea. This would really give the wrong idea to someone who has never heard about it. It should be changed to "black people" or whatever is currently politically correct. --SpamKiller 13:29, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I might think that way also, if I'd never heard of a guy named Gandhi. Arguably he did a lot to focus on the issue. I could have changed it to "non-white", but that might also confuse people. To me, the issue was the colonizing peoples, Boers, English, etc., versus everybody else, native peoples and imported peoples (e.g. Indians). So I thought European vs. non-European was 'okay'.
Of course, the real problem is the article needs more information. But we know that already. :) Shenme 18:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think that there is a problem with the term "European", because I don't se the Afrikaners or the whites in SA as Europeans. It sounds to me really stupid, because every white/caucasian in the world are not Europeans. /Martin
