During the apartheid era, those classed as "Coloured" were oppressed and discriminated against. But, they had limited rights and overall had slightly better socioeconomic conditions than those classed as "Black". The government required that Blacks and Coloureds live in areas separate from Whites, creating large townships located away from the cities as areas for Blacks.
Who was oppressed and discriminated against? What era did this discrimination take place? Who were "Coloured" people above in the class system? Where were the "black" areas?
