Asians v. Africans

While Nigerians fought Nigerians and blamed it on the British, Africa's white settlers settled down with the problems of black, white and brown:

P:Moslem and Hindu leaders of Kenya's 120,000 Asians (most of them Indians) demanded the right, as Kenyans, to join in the fight against the terrorist Mau Mau. White settlers, who are outnumbered 3 to 1 by the Indians, 130 to 1 by the native Africans, protested that arms might make the Asians uppity, but the British Colonial Office, strapped for military manpower to cope with the Mau Mau, ordered 6,500 young Indians, between 18 and 23, to be drafted for military service.

P:In Nationalist South Africa, Prime Minister Daniel Malan ordered South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg, to obey his three-year-old law, which compels segregation of blacks, browns and whites. Under the law, 70,000 blacks and 22,000 Indians, many of them prosperous shopkeepers, will be ejected from their homes and stores in downtown Johannesburg and moved, without a penny's compensation, to Jim Crow shantytowns far away from the white suburbs.
