Fiji is a multi-racial and multi-cultural society consisting of descendants of the original Fiji natives, immigrants from India and Westerners. The traditional Fiji chiefs wanted their positions of leadership recognized in the Fijian legal and governmental system. However, many of them were hostile to the Indians who were economically very successful and not part of the traditional tribal structure.

Even if the owner of the home did not want to discriminate, the previous owners who wrote the restrictive covenant into the deed (or his relatives and heirs) could sue and invalidate the sale. In many cases, insurance would not sell title insurance or banks would not give mortgages for a Black or a Jew where there was a covenant in the deed, even if the covenant was more than 100 years old. Homeowner associations would also enforce the covenants which were originally written into all the deeds of the development. Once the supreme court ruled that restrictive covenants were unconstitutional, no court would enforce any of these lawsuits. It was one of the fastest steps forward in the history of Civil Rights since the day after the court decision racists could no longer enforce the covenants that were in tens of millions of deeds in America.
