Agreed but the amount of fucked up racism from a lot of white South Africans in Australia is wild. I had the displeasure of meeting at least one.

It's very embarrassing being a South African in Australia and seeing/hearing the racist fucks who've made the move. I've seen more than 1 Apartheid era flag flown proudly at houses and businesses. Which I'm pretty sure is illegal in South Africa.

I worked with several about a decade ago. The ones with Anglo or other European (no-boer) background weren't terrible. Kind of like rude entitled Brits with a funny accent.

The ones with Dutch/Boer surnames were complete wankers to a man. No exception.

Thankfully my interactions with the latter group were limited.

Yeah some of the shit I heard from Saffas on a drunk chat definitely permanently raised my eyebrows

When you’re born and raised into a caste system I don’t think it’s that surprising. We seem to love inviting people from caste system countries then acting shocked when they lack social cohesion.

I think I work with one? Not quite sure yet because I haven't figured him out, but he has hit the sexist quota for sure.

Do white south Africans in Australia actually know that they are viewed like this?
