Evidence

The Americas are unique (alongside Australasia and arguably apartheid South Africa) among racially regionalized colonialisms promoted by European globalization and imperial design in acting forcefully to establish white majority settler societies. Throughout Africa and Asia, white settlers remained distinct if ruling minorities, requiring force, violence, severe repression, and the guile of false promises to sustain minoritized racial rule. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1079
