Early colonial segregation barriers failed immediately against intimate contact

Evidence

In any case, even if early enclosure was an attempt at racially driven segregation rather than simply an assertion of property rights, it failed dismally. The first recorded mixed marriage occurred 12 years into settlement, bringing together Pieter van Meerhof, a Danish member of Van Riebeeck’s landing party, and Kratoa, a Khoi woman working as interpreter for the settlers. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1317
