Southern Rhodesia's system was not like South Africa's (where there was an all-white parliament). Why the insistence on changing language ("predominantly white government") that you know is correct and NPOV? undo Tag: Undo

The black parliamentarians, already disadvantaged, played virtually no part in the country's governance, so calling it a white minority government does not add confusion. undo Tags: Reverted Visual edit

A "white minority government" implies a fully white government, but Southern Rhodesia had dozens of black members of Parliament. The article already makes it abundantly clear that whites were a minority in the country, so the edit wouldn't add anything to the article except confusion as to the composition of its Parliament. undo Tag: Undo
