Actually in South Africa you could have Black ancestry but as long you looked White you'd be treated as such. Many "Colored" family had many member classified differently. Quite interesting!

Also agreed. Families were split up. This created terribly awkward and unfortunate social and legal situations as whole families were carved up into white, coloured, and black.
