Neither does the actual apartheid system of South Africa. If you read certain South African case law, such as Moller v. Keimoes School Committee and another 1911 AD 635, racial segregation was determined according to a process that would not be under the usual definition of "racist", at least as we understand it today. Moller wanted to send his child to an all-white school but was turned away. The discrimination was not by appearance because the child in question was by all appearances "white" nor by "association" because Moller lived and associated only with whites but because of a smidgen of "african" blood (going back several generations). Same with the Indian Act of Canada (which has been formally adjudicated by Canadian courts as "racist"). YOu can have, literally, 1/64 Indian blood and be considered an "Indian" (actually something one would probably WANT to have because there are nice benefits to it!) or, conversely, be 7/8ths pure "Indian" blood and NOT be classified as Indian. Same process happens with Canada's minority language of education laws. PUre racism.
