I actually meant that steam survived longest in those places where  
there was a large pool of cheap labour, such as China, India and RSA,  
no more.
Not about to get into a discussion on the rest as my knowledge base  
is far too thin. But I have a number of South African acquaintances  
and workmates of white Anglo, Cape Coloured and Indian ethnicity  
including former ANC activists who fled the previous regime and I  
don't think any of them would agree with your analysis, for one  
moment, even thought they have left for economic or security reasons.  
I don't think that qualifies as what Ken referred to as 'media  
distortion'. However I do have great sympathy for your present plight  
and recent experiences - I don't think I'd have the stamina to stick  
around.
