I gave him the benefit of doubt because he fucking hated living in South Africa... apparently it had more to do with living with his dad, then the apartheid.
I'm aware that there are nice people from South Africa, but every single South African I've ever met has been absolutely horrendous.
I think they've all started to be racist within about half an hour of meeting them, which I don't get because I didn't even bring the topic up, they did. So they actually go out of their way to be racist when there isn't anyone around them to trigger the behaviour. They do it like they're just talking about the weather or making some other small talk.
Even the Japanese are not that bad. Although they're pretty awful too.
I used to have a similar stereotype about (white) South Africans who I met in my country. However, after having spent some time there recently I can say that South Africans (of all ethnicities) are absolutely lovely people. I was really impressed with what an integrated and truly multicultural society they have less than thirty years after the end of apartheid. I realise there are still big problems but it left a big impact nonetheless.
My hypothesis is that all the shittiest people left when apartheid was ending because they didn't like black people having human rights, and fled to majority-white countries.
