White majority rule is unique to the Americas among colonized regions

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 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

America has sought to elevate itself to the self-declared world sovereign. Israel then is its troubled double, its frankensteinian shadow, at once mimic and model. This power over death, racially produced and performed, means nothing less than that sovereignty, historically, has manifested itself as the state of whiteness par excellence. Only now the sovereign power over death has become more tenuous, cut adrift from the anchor of classical racial conception, challenged by those willing as a social force to take their own lives as they take those of others in the name of a counter-history. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 704 (#complicates, via linked claim)
