Heh heh. "non-europeans".

The article should be illustrated with more typical signs, such as separate entrances for "Blankes / Europeans" and "Nie Blankes / Non Europeans", or "Slegs Blankes / Whites Only". (I think it was always "Blankes" in Afrikaans, but sometimes "Whites" and sometimes "Europeans" in English.) —AlanBarrett 19:44, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know, the older signs said "Europeans", but that confused some American visitors, who naturally used the "Non-European" entrances, so it was changed to the more explicit "Whites". Elf-friend 21:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
