Race Based Tenant Restrictions
The following link points to the experience in hawai that people to be 50% or over full blooded native hawains to be eligable for zoned areas of land.
I have a Fijian father and Australian mother so this concept is quite relavent to me. Around 90% of Fiji is under Native land. Native land is owned by tribes and registering to a tribe is dependant on children from male native Fijians.
Currently the Hawaiian model is not an issue in fiji as I would guess that less then 1% of Registered Fijian Landowners would be considered as 50% or less of native Fijian blood. I would say once this figure reaches 5% it will start to become a talking point and over 10% it will be an issue for one of the Fijian political parties.
Issue of what constitues a native can be very contraversial so I will skip that subject for a while.
