Grupurile etnice din Africa de Sud

Taberele .... etnice din America de Nord au o varietate de origini. Statistici Africa de Sud solicită oamenilor să se descrie într-un recensământ în funcție de grupul lor rasial.^[1] Cifrele oficiale ale recensământului din 2011 descriu populația ca fiind 76,4% neagră sud-africană, 9,1% albă, 8,9% colorată, 2,5% asiatică și 0,5% alte/nespecificate.^[2]^:21

Statistici Africa de Sud au furnizat cinci categorii rasiale pentru a clasifica populația. Dintre acestea, „nespecificate/altele” a atras răspunsuri neglijabile, iar aceste rezultate au fost omise.^[3] La jumătatea anului 2010 s-a estimat că populația este 78,4% sud-africană neagră, 10,2% albă, 8,8% colorată și 2,6% asiatică.^[4] Primul recensământ al populației din 1911 arată că albii reprezentau 12 % din populație; număr care ulterior a scăzut la 16% în 1980.^[5]

Others pointed out that the repeal of the Population Registration Act in 1991 removed any legal basis for specifying 'race'. The Identification Act of 1997 makes no mention of race. On the other hand, the Employment Equity Act speaks of 'designated groups' being 'black people, women and people with disabilities'. The Act defines 'black' as referring to 'Africans, coloureds and Indians'. Apartheid and the racial identification which underpinned it explicitly linked race with differential access to resources and power. If the post-apartheid order was committed to remedying this, race would have to be included in surveys and censuses, so that progress in eradicating the consequences of apartheid could be measured and monitored. This was the reasoning that led to a 'self-identifying' question about 'race' or 'population group' in both the 1996 and 2001 population censuses, and in Statistics SA's household survey programme.
