No NIMBAR southern Africa

Definitely. The more white people you have, the longer it'll take to overthrow them. At some point there'll be a critical mass point (I don't know what point - perhaps about 30% compared to IOTL's 10%?) where sheer numbers will make it very difficult if not impossible to overthrow them - a well trained and equipped paramilitary "race police" could easily keep down several times its number of disorganized revolutionaries. Such large numbers may even reduce white paranoia and prevent apartheid proper from being instituted, relying on something more like Jim Crow. With careful media and political control, they may even be able to give non-whites the vote and still maintain almost complete power.

Eventually, liberalization of the white populace will probably see more and more power slowly ceded to everyone else, but that could well take generations.
 
So you say about 30% of a population in one of the countries of Europeans would make it very difficult for majority rule to come into place, either constitutionally or by force of arms?

30% is picked at random; I say that there's some number of white people that will probably make it nigh impossible for majority rule to come into place. Clearly, 10% wasn't enough. 50% gives us the upper limit of allowing majority control :D. 30% "seems" right to me, as it should be enough to allow the formation of a proper middle class, and keep that middle class entirely white. I think that an entrenched white middle class will be hard to overthrow - I mean, IOTL white South Africans were mostly what we would consider middle class, but they all lived in large houses with servants and security. At 30% you could see the formation of white communities and towns, and have them be pervasive.
