      Apartheid is the English word for apartheid. That’s how English works. “That’s a nice word you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.” Then it’s an English word, too.

        If we go by George W Bush the French have no word for entrepreneur rules, then there’s no Dutch word for apartheid anymore since it was taken for English.
