Lol @ OP. White South Africans: they DO exist.
shareEver heard of Charlize Theron??? ; )
shareyes, Charlize Theron is south african, but does she consider herself African? Or as the show stated "African American?"
"There is no off position to the genius switch"
Who knows what South Africans call themselves but technically they are africans just like I'm a north american. The term 'africa american' however, was coined for black africans as an attempt at being politically correct so calling a white african who lives in the US 'african american' would be a misnomer because of the common connotation of the term and not the semantics of it.
shareJust like:
WHITE Asians (Russia is in Asia).
WHITE Mexicans (You can clearly see it on their TV shows)
MEXICAN Japanese (Some Mexicans went to work on Japan with visas and stayed there)
ETC.
If you been around the world, or at least read your history books and do reaserch, you'll find out so many things you never knew about the world.
IT'S THE MOVIE! NOT THE BOOK! NOT THE SHOW! NOT THE COMIC! GET OVER IT!
Is there less sun in South Africa or something?
shareur an idiot. Australians aren't black and they get TONS of sun
*Common sense is not so common
White people from Europe (mainly the Dutch) colonized the territory and controlled it for a long time. A new language was also created, 'afrikans' and I can attest thanks to an old roommate that it is one strange sounding language.

South Africa was settled by the Dutch (and later the British). Maybe if you stopped smelling your own farts, and read a history book, you would not ask such retarded questions.
Not all Africans are negroid.
