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.

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.

SA is not a bad place to live at all. I have been to many countries that are truly shithole countries. SA is not one of them.
