Asian railway employees have been ousted in "Africanization" drives, have gone on to work in Zambia, where white railroaders have been fired for racial reasons. In Kenya, the government has dropped strong hints that it expects young Indians (who rarely even cross caste boundaries when they marry) to find African mates.

...major expansions of six InterContinental hotels. Completely new additions to the chain were rising at Lahore and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, Nicaragua's Managua, and Auckland, N.Z. This month the company will break ground in Manila, and architects are drafting plans for hotels in Victoria Falls and Lusaka in Zambia, and Nairobi, Kenya. Inter-Continental is even represented behind the Iron Curtain with Zagreb's Esplanade, and emissaries are dickering with Hungarian Communists about helping to run a hotel in Budapest...
