South Africans are friendly people and usually very outgoing too! I love this country!
Alf what do you think, that all South Africans are black?? I got news for you moron, they're not! I'm white, and so is One Love, and I'm sure she knows who Kennedy was! Hmm, do you know who Desmond Tutu is Alf?? Or Buthalezi.....what about Ncondi Balfour?! Lol, maybe not...why...because they're black?? Doos!
What a contradiction Julia! You say you are from Botswana!! So YOU are the one who doesn't belong here! And nobody invited you to come and spoil our country! Go home yourself!

You are a racist Julia. Your attitude is precisely the kind of thing that make me happy i'm in England. You are obviously ignorant. Are you telling me you have ever really had a conversation with a white person or are you just following the crowd in hating white people because you are not intelligent enough to think for yourself??!! As for anyone "going back home", get off it!!! White people have been in South Africa for hundreds of years. I would say it's as much their right to be there than it is yours. What, do you want a country with only black people??? I find it's always good to have a mixture of races because that makes people openminded because they become educated in the ways of other cultures, but then, obviously you have tunnel vision and can't see any good in anything white. Talk about an idiot!
Ps. People weren't "invited" onto other continents, ie English conquering America etc. It didn't quite work like that, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that...I don't know why I even bother

It doesn't matter what is on the outside but what is in the inside!!Yes we do have racist's but you get that everywhere!
If you haven't noticed South Africans support each other allot and respect each other an we stand all together!!
Hope you all can see that our people the same are like you guys!!

I am South African. I like a number of my fellow countrymen and -women, but then I don't like some of them. I think some are still very racist, and I don't like the way in which the men treat the women. Other people are very nice, good to know, highly intelligent (even way above other countries), well-mannered and so on. Then I've known some who are really rude, narrow-minded, selfish, loud...
So the bottom line is: South Africans are good, bad, beautiful, ugly, thin, fat, educated, stupid, racist, liberal, well-to-do, poor, short, tall, weird, interesting, friendly, rude. Just like anyone else everywhere in the world. It depends on their genes, education, background and so on.
I am not too patriotic because I have 'fresh' European blood and have roots abroad, plus I have travelled and studied abroad and can look objectively at us all. SAs are great people and I do like my fellow South Africans but there are always those who make me ashamed by their behaviour and narrow-mindedness. It's like when you watch Jerry Springer's show and think "Ugh, these Americans...." and then you meet some really great Americans on the airport the next day and think "nice people". You can't generalize.

Can't generalise on all south Africans, that wouldnt be fair, i've come across a fair share and they are very different from one another, some are nice, some are not so nice

I know one South African, and he's nice and cute :) and I love him! but I agree, as everyone else in this world, we're all different, not because one is this way, everyone else in his country will be the same....

Judging by your answers, they certainly think that they are wonderful. Personally I always avoid them. As someone who was born there, they all remind me of the Rhodesians (whenwe's).All that they can speak about is their wonderful country yet they all live here UK or Australia. I have lived here for years and I am a proud supporter of the English team when they play SA and when speaking about the country I CAN see the wood for the trees.
I recently went to see my daughter in Cape Town and had to pay extra on my ticket to cut the visit from 5 to 4 weeks. couldn't wait to get home and won't bother going again.

Absoultely amazing people! I love them! They're so unique!
EDIT: Thanks Motti! Seriously, Alf, are you that STUPID!!?? I know who JFK was! I know that he was assassinated and that he was the president of the US! Seriously, Alf, just because I come from SA, doesn't mean I haven't heard of other WHITE people out there in the world! And what's wrong with changing my username?
BTW, Alf, did you see that there was also a saying from Churchill who just happens to be white!? And excuse me for having an interest in history!
