In the Jim Crow South, Asian Americans (e.g., Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian Americans) faced obstacles similar to African Americans in their struggle for civil rights, even though they were not considered "white.", They encountered:
- School segregation: Segregated schools for different racial groups,.
- Antimiscegenation laws: Laws prohibiting interracial marriage,.
- Discriminatory business practices:Obstacles in establishing businesses due to racism.
In Asia, some instances of discriminatory practices and policies have been compared to apartheid due to their severity and impact on marginalized groups:
- North Korea's songbun system:This social classification system has been compared to South Africa's apartheid, based on its root in discrimination and segregation based on social class, with racial elements,.
- China's treatment of ethnic minorities: The privileging of the Han people in areas like Xinjiang and Tibet, and the alleged repression of indigenous cultures and religions, have been likened to "cultural genocide" and apartheid by some activists.
- Malaysia's Bumiputera policies:These policies, based on "Malay Supremacy," have been criticized as being analogous to apartheid due to the systemic discrimination faced by citizens of ethnic Chinese and Indian descent in areas like education and housing.
- Saudi Arabia's treatment of religious minorities and women:The restrictions on religious minorities and the segregated treatment of women have been described as religious and gender apartheid.
- Colonialism and Racism: European imperial powers often established segregated areas and fostered a hierarchy with Europeans at the top and African and Asian peoples at the bottom during colonial periods, embedding racism into structures of power,.
- Racialized laws: Laws enforcing racial segregation and discrimination were put in place in various colonial settings,.
Australia and New Zealand:
While not precisely analogous to the Jim Crow laws in the United States, Australia and New Zealand did implement policies and practices that resulted in widespread racial discrimination and segregation against Indigenous peoples and certain immigrant groups
Australia:
- White Australia Policy: From 1901 until the mid-1970s, Australia implemented policies collectively known as the White Australia Policy, which severely restricted non-white immigration and favored British migrants.
- Discrimination against Indigenous Australians: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms, enduring massacres, forced removals (known as the Stolen Generations), and ongoing discrimination.
- Segregation and discriminatory practices: Examples include exclusion from voting rolls in certain states, a 2018 court findingof racist police actions and discrimination against Indigenous Australians.
- Discrimination against Māori:While Māori were initially granted civil rights through the Treaty of Waitangi and political representation, they still faced discriminatory practices, particularly in the 20th century, such as:
- Exclusion from certain public facilities like toilets, cinemas, and swimming baths.
- Refusal of service at some businesses.
- Lower social security benefits compared to Europeans.
- Segregation in schools, such as the racially segregated school in Pukekohe.
- The "No Māori Allowed" history:This phrase highlights instances of discrimination against Māori in various public spaces.
- American influence during WWII:Some white American soldiers stationed in New Zealand during WWII attempted to introduce segregation practices due to their own experiences with Jim Crow laws in the US.
- Not as systematic or legally codified: While both Australia and New Zealand had discriminatory practices, they weren't always as systematic and legally codified as Jim Crow laws were in the American South.
- Emphasis on assimilation: Policies in both countries often focused on assimilation, aiming to integrate Indigenous peoples into the dominant European culture, albeit with discriminatory consequences.
- Māori political voice: Unlike African Americans under Jim Crow, Māori in New Zealand were granted some political voice and representation from an early stage.
Canada:
While Jim Crow laws, which were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the United States, did not exist in Canada at the federal or provincial level, segregation did occur in Canada, particularly outside of education. This segregation was often based on local prejudices and the actions of private businesses, school board trustees, and other individuals.

Here's a more detailed look:
- No Formal Jim Crow Laws:
Unlike the US, Canada did not have national or provincial laws that formally mandated racial segregation.
- Local Segregation:
Segregation in Canada was often practiced through the actions of local authorities, private businesses, and community members.
- Examples of Segregation:
- Education: Segregated schools existed in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
- Businesses and Higher Education: Private businesses and higher education institutions practiced discrimination against Black people and other racialized groups.
- Military: The Canadian military was segregated during World War I.
- Public Spaces: Segregation in public spaces like theaters and restaurants was common.
- Education: Segregated schools existed in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
- Supreme Court Ruling:
A 1939 Supreme Court ruling allowed private businesses to discriminate, further illustrating the prevalence of segregation in Canada.
- Not Just Black People:
Segregation in Canada wasn't limited to Black people. Other groups like Chinese, Jewish, and Indigenous people also faced segregation.
Caribbean:
While Jim Crow laws in their explicit, legally enforced form were primarily a phenomenon of the United States, particularly in the South, similar forms of racial segregation and discrimination did exist in the Caribbean, though often with different historical and political contexts. These practices, often associated with colonial legacies, aimed to maintain social hierarchies and limit the rights and opportunities of certain racial groups.
Here's a more detailed look at the situation:
1. Jim Crow in the Panama Canal Zone:
While Jim Crow laws in their explicit, legally enforced form were primarily a phenomenon of the United States, particularly in the South, similar forms of racial segregation and discrimination did exist in the Caribbean, though often with different historical and political contexts. These practices, often associated with colonial legacies, aimed to maintain social hierarchies and limit the rights and opportunities of certain racial groups.
Here's a more detailed look at the situation:
1. Jim Crow in the Panama Canal Zone:
- The U.S. presence in the Panama Canal Zone, a 10-mile-wide area surrounding the canal, saw the implementation of Jim Crow segregation practices from 1904-1914. This area was effectively an unofficial colony of the U.S., and segregation laws were in place for over 50 years.
- Many Caribbean islands, particularly those with a history of European colonization, also saw the implementation of segregation policies, though often in a more nuanced and indirect way than in the U.S. South.
- These policies often involved separating different racial groups based on skin color, leading to social hierarchies and limited opportunities for marginalized groups.
- For example, in Jamaica, there were attempts to segregate East Indians and Afro-Jamaicans to prevent them from uniting against exploitation, further exacerbating existing animosity.
- Similarities:
Both Jim Crow in the U.S. and segregation in the Caribbean involved the deliberate creation of separate and unequal facilities and opportunities for different racial groups. Both were rooted in racial ideologies and aimed to maintain social hierarchies. - Differences:
Jim Crow laws in the U.S. were explicitly codified into state and local laws, making them legally enforceable. In the Caribbean, segregation was often more subtle, relying on social customs, economic structures, and political power dynamics to maintain racial divisions.
- The legacy of Jim Crow and colonial segregation in the Caribbean continues to be felt today, in terms of social inequality, economic disparities, and political marginalization.
- Understanding these historical patterns is crucial for addressing ongoing issues of racial injustice and inequality.
South America:
While South America did not have laws exactly mirroring the U.S. Jim Crow laws, it did experience significant racial discrimination and segregation through customary laws and policies. These practices often resulted in the marginalization and exclusion of non-white populations, particularly Afro-Brazilians and Indigenous people, from mainstream opportunities.
Here's a more detailed look:
While the UK never had formal "Jim Crow laws" like the United States, racial segregation and discrimination did exist in various forms, particularly in the 20th century. This included "color bars" in pubs, workplaces, and other establishments, as well as segregation in certain professions, housing, and even at Buckingham Palace. The term "Jim Crow" itself, while not a legal system in the UK, was used to describe these instances of racial segregation.

These practices often resulted in the marginalization and exclusion of non-white populations, particularly Afro-Brazilians and Indigenous people, from mainstream opportunities.
Here's a more detailed look:
- Customary Laws and Policies:
In some South American countries, particularly Brazil, there was a national project called "branqueamento" (whitening) that aimed to reduce the non-white population through immigration and other policies. This led to discriminatory practices against Afro-Brazilians, including segregation in the labor market and public spaces.
- Immigration Laws:
Brazil, for example, enacted immigration laws that prioritized European immigration and discouraged or prohibited the immigration of people of African, Asian, and Indigenous ancestry.
- Labor Market Segregation:
The "branqueamento" policy resulted in the displacement of newly freed slaves and their descendants from the labor market by imported European immigrants.
- "White Spaces" in Public Life:
In many South American countries, police enforced practices that maintained public spaces as "white" spaces, reinforcing racial inequality.
- State-Enforced Segregation:
While not explicitly "Jim Crow" laws, state-sponsored policies and practices often resulted in segregation and discrimination, as seen in Brazil's "branqueamento" campaign.
- Comparison to U.S. Jim Crow:
While South American countries didn't have the formal legal framework of Jim Crow laws, the effects of racial discrimination and segregation were similar in terms of limiting access to opportunities, perpetuating inequality, and creating a racially stratified society.
While the UK never had formal "Jim Crow laws" like the United States, racial segregation and discrimination did exist in various forms, particularly in the 20th century. This included "color bars" in pubs, workplaces, and other establishments, as well as segregation in certain professions, housing, and even at Buckingham Palace. The term "Jim Crow" itself, while not a legal system in the UK, was used to describe these instances of racial segregation.
Here's a more detailed look:
- Color Bars:
Many businesses, especially pubs and restaurants, implemented "color bars" that banned non-white customers from certain areas or facilities. - Segregation in Professions and Housing:
Racial segregation also extended to certain professions, housing, and even at Buckingham Palace, where non-white individuals were not always afforded the same opportunities and treatment as their white counterparts. - Impact of US Troops During WWII:
The arrival of large numbers of American servicemen, many of whom were Black, during World War II highlighted the differences between the UK and the US in terms of racial segregation. While the UK had no legal segregation, the American military's segregation policies led to some instances of discrimination against Black troops in Britain.
- Mutiny in Bamber Bridge:
A notable event during WWII was the mutiny in Bamber Bridge, where African American troops stationed in Britain clashed with white military police and local authorities over attempts to impose segregation. This event demonstrated the resistance to Jim Crow practices even in a foreign land. - No Legal Segregation:
It's important to note that the UK never had laws that mandated racial segregation like the "Jim Crow laws" in the US.

Conclusion:
Even though Jim Crow laws or similar laws weren’t legal in most places, unfair treatment of Black people was still common around the world in the 1950s and 1960s. When people are made to follow unfair practices, it’s just like having a law. So, even without official laws, these practices caused the same harm as Jim Crow in the South.
Let’s focus on coming together, not dividing Black people worldwide.

Exactly
I was just sitting in court 30 min ago and this musty, dusty French colonial was trying to put a protective order on his old landlord/roommate because he accused the nikka of spying on him after he decorated the bathroom and put a little decorative tree in the community bathroom and the
FBA dude checked him for the disrespect.
After the judge dismissed the bullshyt, the tether sat there pleading with the judge to do something, anything to the nikka because he now feared for his safety.
He was so pathetic the judge had to tell him to get the fukk out the court room as we all looked at him with utter disgust.

And every academic, political, social and legal lie going back hundreds of years will be recycled and parroted across various AI echo chambers just as easy as you please.
Garbage in, garbage out.
