Some white South Africans have showed support for President Donald Trump and gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to claim they are victims of racism by their own government.

    Racism is the result of systems which disadvantage people of a given ethnic group. These people by definition cannot be victims of racism, because they come from the advantaged social group.

    They are victims of prejudice. Prejudice born of the fact that they are the benefactors of a long history of racism in South Africa. While I am sure not all of them are deserving of this prejudice, I suspect the ones calling it racism are.

      Yeah text book definition of prejudice vs. Racism.

      But basically, I think these guys are upset because they can’t steal from other people fast enough.
