🇿🇦 **Can Black South Africans be Afrikaners?**
"_There are millions of Coloured and Black South Africans who speak Afrikaans as their first language. They share the same taal, eat the same food, tell the same jokes. The numbers tell their own story: today, roughly six in ten Afrikaans speakers in South Africa are Black or Coloured._
_Yet historically, they’ve been excluded from the Afrikaner identity by those who insisted it was defined by race as much as culture._"
Six in ten Afrikaans speakers are Black or "Coloured" .... on the absurdity of trying to police racial categories that were, to begin with, (artificial) constructs.
