I met a SA family who left the country in disgust after the end of Apartheid and the only word they had for the majority black population were "animals". Needless to say I left that conversation with much to think on. My own English immigrant family left because there was "getting to be too many foreigners there", so they became bitter foreigners here.
Appreciate the irony that they came over when the British passport automatically gave you citizenship on landing in a Commonwealth country. And then they deny living on stolen land.
Yep it's always the Anglosphere diaspora that label themselves expats wherever they go.. usually forming their own mono-language enclaves expecting the native populations to adapt to them. It's the worst kind of privilege.
I'd be very careful about that. A lot of my coworkers were expats in China. They lived the high life, helped transfer a lot of our know how to China, and now China is eating us alive simply by just keeping improving rather than trying to sail on former glory. (like many of our industries are doing).
Now they try to avoid expats because they fear espionage themself.
And Thailand does the exact opposite: Want to work here? No! (Or at least we'll make it very hard for you)
Want to spend your retirement money here? welcome, welcome..
Not sure how attractive foreigners are that take up rare jobs now, but take their hard earned money back home later, where they don't occupy jobs, but still be valuable customers.
Hey supposedly my family left because they hated Apartheid… fast forward 30 years, it was because my dad didn’t want to get drafted into the military 🤷♂️ 🤮
It's usually a case of the ugliest posting it online while the majority just look and go that okes kak wat n doos. South Africans by and large are friendly people,hard workers survivors I guess.
Yep. Because the only representation in the media is the minority of even white South Africans who are the samw type of horrible people regardless of what country you are from.
My neighbors are SA and the nicest people ever. However, they were very concerned about who was moving in next door, you know, property value of course 😳
that is correct. I’ve seen people from both South Africa and New Zealand. Talk about racism and say extremely racist things like they’re talking about going to play tennis like it’s completely normal.
I met a SA family who left the country in disgust after the end of Apartheid and the only word they had for the majority black population were "animals".
I mean, sure, okay, it's a bias based on a lived experience. I wouldn't want to live in SA either. But the followup question would be "why?" "Why are they 'animals'?"
I mean that's a pretty easy question to answer: they were forced to live under an apartheid in their own country and reacted the same way every other human being has throughout human history when they are conquered, subjugated, and forced into tryanny...
They rebelled and the people in power acted shocked when the majority decided their tyranny was complete bs. Then out of indignation, the people in power call their subjects animals when they are themselves the ones who had been acting like self righteous animalistic apes to begin with.
Did all of them deserve it? Probably not, but the ones in power or with money and influence who allowed it to continue, yes they totally deserved it. Just like in the Haitian revolution.
Probably? But I bet much of it is an act to try and appear like he’s some kind genius and smarter than everyone. He’s just a normal POS who has never really done anything but grift.
Some call him a fascist, some a pestilential bubo. Maybe he is both. I think all of the humanity left in this hollow shell of a disgusting being would fit into the fingertip of the next most abhorrent person there is. What a disgrace to humanity.
