Most Afrikaners still feel that they are superior to blacks. These students weren't born racist, they were taught by their parents and grew up in a community that has never let go of their racist beliefs.

Black South Africans still suffer from an inferiority complex due to the 345 years of colonialism and apartheid. Someone mentioned "dignity". Colonialism and apartheid robbed people of their dignity. It kept them poor and uneducated, with a massive inferiority complex.

Afrikaners always wanted the black masses to be poor and uneducated, not able to think for themselves. They succeeded in that aim. And now they want to turn around and say, "Look at these stupid blacks, don't they have any dignity?"

After the Anglo-Boer War, it took Afrikaners years to improve their economic situation and that's what black South Africans are trying to do after Apartheid - improve their situation.

The difference is, black South Africans have the benefit of history, not to repeat the actions of the previous regime. Ideally, there should be zero tolerance for any form of racism, whether black or white. It's a shame when both black and white South Africans resort to racist, discriminatory acts whether to assert themselves, or as a protectionist measure. Will we ever learn?
