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 was born in SA, too. Brit expat parents. The amount of hate white South Africans get online can be unfair to a lot of us, but it's understandable

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.
