1950 Officially Coloured Since the beginning of the settlement of the Colony, an ambiguous and complicated issue has arisen. Most whites have always seen Coloured as not being white enough. Due to the comparatively privileged and advantageous lifestyle of Coloured, they have found themselves disliked by the African population. Black and White were clearly defined in South Africa. Coloureds and all else found themselves lingering between the two. In 1950 the government passed the Population Registration Act of 1950. This act officially created four classifications: White, Black, Indian and Coloured.  ¶ 2/01/2007 10:27:00 AM
