    So I'd srsly be classified as colored while the literally dindu admixed boers would be huwhite based upon this hair test?

    Right. Vodka on your cornflakes then.

    But there must be better ways of proving you are white. Like . . . being white.

    Basically, yes. But there were some other factors involved too (equally accurate as the pencil test).

    • Characteristics of the person's head hair
    • Characteristics of the person's other hair
    • Skin colour
    • Facial features
    • Home language and especially the knowledge of Afrikaans
    • Area where the person lives, the person's friends and acquaintances
    • Employment
    • Socioeconomic status
    • Eating and drinking habits


    Of course you could apply for reclassification and hope you didn't have the same official who classified you to start off with.

    What about Irish or British people with curly hair (this trait is quite common in the British Isles). Would they also become Coloureds? Even if they were light haired, light eyed and light skinned?

    Who said that it is?
    BTW I've heard redheads stereotyped as curly-haired and I know a Norwegian that's curly and ginger(however I also know a curly brunet Norwegian) so I wonder if gingers are more curly than blondes for example due to something genetic.
