Racism in South Africa stems from its economic structure, not petty official bias

Evidence

What is South Africa? A boiler into which thirteen million blacks are clubbed and penned in by two and a half million whites. If the poor whites hate the Negroes, it is not, as M. Mannoni would have us believe, because “racialism is the work of petty officials, small traders, and colonials who have toiled much without great success.” No; it is because the structure of South Africa is a racist structure — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 325 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
