Great column from RAW "How the first world spins South Africa"

My boyfriend Aap is not African-American. He’s African.

-------------snip------------
See, Aap, through no fault of his own, is white. Long blond hair white. Green eyed, skinny, pasta-colored white. White-issimo!


“Once people learn I’m Afrikaans,” Aap says, “There’s an inflection in their voice, a challenge. Inevitably, unless they’re Right-o-philes (okay, so he really said ‘Right Wing’), they try to pick a fight. Then I have to teach them about the massive U.S. mind fuck. Your media is completely corrupt. You Americans are so fucking brainwashed.”

1. Kicked...

I know a white guy from SA that hates the 'slap' and a couple of SA citizens who think North America still misses the nice and clean South Africa of old, circa 1985...

2. I went to college with

a dude from South Africa (white dude). He was a little scary politically--I would put him right in line with the average freeper, maybe even a little to the right of them. Quite scary. But it showed me that there are people with crazy ideas even in other countries.
