I'm a white guy from Indiana. And if Elon Musk was from Indiana and someone said, "a guy from Indiana made his app anti-black? Shocking." I'd be like, "I know, right? This state is full of racist as fuck white people." I wouldn't be offended.
But he's not from Indiana though. The point I'm trying to make is that the commenter posed an unfair stereotype which suggested that white South Africans are proclived to racism even though there are no facts to support that argument. There is however evidence to suggest that Indianans or Idahoans or whatever other white inhabitants of famously racist US states are proclived to racism.
Do you see my point?
You're right, he's from an even more racist place. So I'm not sure why you think that's an unfair stereotype when it is a fair one for a U.S. state that never had apartheid or slavery.
🙆
Interesting how eager you were for me to see your point, and when I responded to it, all you did was troll.
I guess I shouldn't have expected any better.
How is that a troll comment?
What did i do to you? Sounds like you have some animosity towards me
Sounds like you can't explain why the stereotype fits for Indiana and not South Africa.
It's because it isn't clear to me that white South Africans of present are majorly racists. I've tried to look up stats and studies and it's all anecdotal. Sure, it's there, but there's no evidence suggesting it's widespread enough to make generalisations.
Okay, can you please show me the stats and studies you used to determine that the stereotype fits for Indiana? I assume you do not have a double-standard here.
You just said yourself that Indiana is largely racist. I'm using you as a source🥲
You know South Africa had(has?) apartheid, right? Culturally, yes, they are proclived to racism.
edit: yeah it ended in 1990(1994?). Lmao. Within the last 30 years they were an apartheid state.
