The now defunct racial policy of South Africa called apartheid provided that society in that country separate races. Under this policy whites, Africans, Asiatic, and socalled "Colored" populations lived apart. It has since been abolished. Many social scientists wondered why this took so long. One thought was that despite the moral & political problems of apartheid, South Africa was so prosperous that Africans from nearby nations emigrated to S.A.
