Quite a judgemental comment. This is the problem - racism is about passing (prejudicial) judgement. In this case I actually know one of the perpetrators of the video. My field of reference isn't one single video. Also I have lived in SA and abroad. In a country where 70% of the nation are Africans, and many of these are poor (and have been uneducated)while many of the whites hold a large percentage of the country's wealth (this is rapidly changing), naturally one can expect schisms and problems.
I have found it interesting how this very unpleasant video has evoked a lot of judgemental venom from others. Is it an appropriate response to condemn South African whites as racists? Careful. Each accusing the other of racism, and it sounds like the writer here is accusing me of something similar. This is not how you get people to harmonise, by telling them how good-for-nothing they are based on an 'impression'.
