South African whites are like the last colonials standing. There is very little whoever-this-guy-is can do to look good in any kind of debate with a black descendant of Africa.
I've done a bit of work with some South Africans of a very creamy complexion, and I can tell you first hand that they were indeed intolerable, deplorable racist people. I've met many others as well who I can say the same for. They basically still practice apartheid altho it's been legislatively abolished, like so many things that has absolutely no effect on. But then again, so does New Jersey.
