"Taking"? That's an odd word to use. Why would you use the word "taking"? No one owns general ideas/tropes, etc. (even if we accept copyright laws as they stand). So you're not taking anything from anyone.
Apartheid hasn't existed for awhile, by the way. (My wife is a South African who grew up as a minority under Apartheid.)
