The inequality amongst peoples of different skin color is acknowledged in Latin America, but it is not state enforced and if people of darker skin were to get richer, those with lighter skin wouldn't particularly care much as they would in South Africa. Apatheid was the law in South Africa. In Latin America, it's less skin color , but more of who has the money, which is not coincidentally tied with skin color, but when it comes down to it, money is much more important than skin color or heritage. Also Cuba is 40% white, 40% mixed( which could look like anything at certain points) and 20% black. So, this is definitely not like South Africa were whites are less than 10% of the population.As always, bear in mind that race is an arbitrary concept in many ways, and different societies conceptualize it differently. Look at Latin America - several countries in the regime with indigenous or multiracial are effectively ruled by a largely European-descended majority. Even in a place such as Cuba, a country that has a black majority by some measures, my understanding is that the local communist elite is still disproportionately composed of people with predominantly European ancestry.
Yet I do not see people putting Cuba in the same category as apartheid South Africa.
With 1%, how are they going to staff the army, security services and upper echelons of the civil service? Even with the Eurasians, they'd be only 2-3% of the population tops.As long as they have enough soldiers, I couldn't see why not. If I remember from reading some memoir from Singaporeans, British governers often had large escorts of Indian/British soldiers to keep the "peace". They'll probably have to give more rights to their Chinese populations, but they could still remain in power if done right. British colonialists are kind of notorious for somehow remaining in control despite making up barely 5%.
Those area's white population are too low for that.French Vietnam, Dutch Indonesia, Belgian Congo.... if somehow their struggle for independence would end up differently
Katanga was never under White rule and the French colonies outside of Algeria don't have a large white populationIf Katanga stays independent, or if one of the French African colonies pull a UDI and go the Rhodesia route.
Small enough that any white population that is enough to support a minority state would result in said country being integrated into the MetropoleEquatorial Guinea, Seychelles, or Comoros.
Technically Katanga wasn’t white ruled but everyone knew that Belgian companies were the ones really running things, and anyways, the original declaration of independence was mostly only backed by the white settlers.Those area's white population are too low for that.

What about a surviving German Namibia with friendly relations with the Afrikaners?
Hold on, this gives me an idea. The Germans keep Namibia in a less harsh Versailles, and a certain syphilitic Bavarian lance-corporal moves there and founds the Namibian National Socialist Workers Party?
*fails to be arsed*(Clicks "Watch Thread" on this hypothetical timeline)
Unless seized post-independence or fleeing rule by the metropole for ideological reasons.Small enough that any white population that is enough to support a minority state would result in said country being integrated into the Metropole
The former is extremely unlikelyUnless seized post-independence or fleeing rule by the metropole for ideological reasons.
Kenya possibly. The white settlers there wanted a white ruled state.
Granted, and such an effort would likely be repulsed/defeated.The former is extremely unlikely
Kenyan here. The possibility of that is low seeing as how whites in Kenya number 67,000 by the census conducted a decade ago, which is higher that the white population during British Rule. To have an effective minority state, you'd need about 100,000+ during the 50's, so that a pro-white party like the Rhodesian Front could gain a majority so that they could leverage a bid for independence. There was a party shortly before Kenya's independence(forgot the name) that believed whites should be incharge if the country temporarily since most blacks were uneducated and stuff but the KANU party ended up leading us to independence. If this party were to gain the support of a substantive white population, they could then arbitrarily declare independence like what happened in Rhodesia, then lock blacks out of government and establish a minority regime. The remnants of the Land and Freedom Army(Mau Mau) would probably try to destabilize the government, and might get backed up by KANU or another Black Nationalist party like ZAPU and ZANU in Zimbabwe, launching a Bush War in the forests of Central Kenya. However, it would be more difficult for these fighters since unlike ZANLA and ZIPRA, they would be surrounded on all sides. It could develop into a proxy war between East and West. I'm just glad that never happened. Oh, it was also proposed that Nairobi be renamed Coldbrook, which is the English equivalent of the name, which is likely in this alternate TL.Kenya possibly. The white settlers there wanted a white ruled state.
Imagine Idi Amin vs Richard Dawkins as heads of state in war.
Former Portugiese colonies ? Mosambique , Angola, Goa. Also Dutch South East Asia, Suriname.Where in the world was there the potential for a minority of European colonists to form a white minority state like Rhodesia or South Africa?
