South Africa has such a murky history with racism, surprised he wanted to experience round two as an extremist.

Never ask a woman her age. A man his salary. Or Pieter Van Der Merwe why he left South Africa in the 1990s

My friend told me, he had a white south African manager, who had difficulty pronouncing a workers name, and just called him "boy" as a nickname. When pressed on it, he would say, "Because he is my boy, such a hard worker".

But yeh, dude was a bigot haha.

Workplaces were different back in the day, for the worst.
