List five ways in which the non-whites were discriminated against.

Verified Answer

Five ways in which the non-whites were discriminated against:

  • Hospitals were separate and so were ambulances.
  • An ambulance meant for white people would always be well equipped while one meant for black people was not.
  • There were separate trains and buses. Even the bus stops were different for black and white people.
  • Non-whites were not allowed to vote.

The best land in the country was reserved for the white people, and nonwhites had to live on the worst available land.
