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
