51. Collective stereotyping at play there.

May 2025

Most people learnt about the practices of South African Apartheid right at the end of it, when it was all violently overturned.
The POC rose up against their white colonial overlords, and rightly so.

Now any white person from South Africa is assumed to be a racist Boer.

Personally, I'd like to know the background of these refugees.
Why are they leaving South Africa?
