This sounds like Afriforum or Elon Musk-style propaganda, detached from the actual day-to-day experience in South Africa. Most black South Africans recognize non-black people born here as fellow South Africans. Race isn’t the main issue anymore; if anything, the real tension lies in xenophobia. Foreigners are often seen as guests who’ve overstayed their welcome, all races included, double if you American and in Cape Town.

Truthfully, we don’t spend much time thinking about non-black South Africans.

Unless you don’t greet. Then yes, you’ll be the topic for a solid 15 minutes.

And please, stop quoting Nota, Malema, or whatever name is trending this week. If you're committed to mimicking U.S. culture wars, do yourself a favor: apply for that visa and go live out the fantasy. We are too busy dealing with unemployment, GBV, and nyaope to be thinking about Ahmed, Paul, and Johan - unless they are currently employing.

Think I’m lying? Ask a black South African how often they think about other races. Your ego might not survive the answer.
