White South Africans...

[SWLGooner]

Oh and BSA's are great. The ones you meet over here. Top people.

The ones in South Africa are like any people who have been treated as an "underclass", like American or English blacks.*

Some are nice but the problem is that now we have a new generation who have grown up in a township setting, thus do not know safety or security, and who have that (entirely justified in any black who lived under apartheid) sense of entitlement, which is IMO undeserved.

Violence + feelings of entitlement = mutilated white people.

*I am not including Aborigines as they are treated like the Untouchables in India.

Oh, and I would have said the Aussies are like that. Not Kiwis, mind.

[SWLGooner]

ive worked with a few and known some at uni and mostly there alright.

i think there could be a distinction between the 'english' wsa and the afrikaan wsa's...with those of afrikann origin being more arrogant , etc than those of english origin,

(when i say origin i mean back in boer war times)

yeah. i would agree.

Mind, there are exceptions on both sides.

[SWLGooner]

I'm a live and let live kind of guy and a multiculteralist but this WSA thing is strange. SWL – you are WSA, yes? Is it just the accent that makes you guys sound so rude? I mean no offense by this at all; I’m just puzzled I haven’t met one nice WSA yet! There must be some!!

Yes. And you have offended me, slightly. Yet you want to meet a nice WSA.

The obvious solution being you buy me a beer next time you come over, I wont' be offended and you'll have met a decent WSA...

To be honest it's an "us against the world" mentality.

And a lot really are brainless twats, but then again frankly if you look at the English that come to South Africa... beer bellies and tattoos...

...and let's face it.. the Oirish?

Never met a drunk in America who wasn't Irish. Ever.

Mainly the Afrikaners who are the sort of yappy brainless racists.

I have to admit, you white boys have had it tough

Well if you hadn't made them stop abusing the blacks and made 'em a pariah (I do not include myself in this as my grandfather was in Lesotho at this point and Dad/Uncles in the US) they wouldn't have the mentality.

Soo... apartheid was your fault..

Oh and incase someone loses it, THAT WAS A JOKE.

THIS. i really dont think that people's core attitudes differ from country to country, had a guy on my course who was sound as you like and i went out with a WSA girl for a bit (made giving blood a bit embarrassing though ) its the standard 'you get wankers everywhere' kind of thing, there are english bigots, scottish bigots, irish bigots, aussie bigots, american bigots and south african bigots. it's just the way of the world.

Some good and interesting replies there SWL. Sincere apologies from me - never meant to offend you. Next match over I'll buy you a beer!

Some other posters on this one have taken the racial line but I was really refering to arrogance / rudeness and just sited the one racist girl as another example of a WSA I met that I didn't like, albeit for different reason.

[DB10GOONER]

He/it is not Oirish - he/it is a Tallaght pikey!

Careful, or your friend will be back & there's enough green-on-green violence on here already.

[RaM]

With the accent = it isn't great but a lot better than the Aussie.

You're joking there right???

[RaM]

On thinking quickly...I don't think I've ever actually met any.

I do think Ireland is becoming a bit too multicultural though.

Really? I like the mix.

I'm happy for anyone to live here once they work and pay their taxes and don't break the law or support manure or tottingham!

And that is the crux of the matter.......over here, and indeed in engerland, the place is way overpopulated by non nationals who have fcuk all interest in working, paying taxes or generally contributing anything positive to society Of course the social welfare system over here practically begs these people to come to our country but believe me we have enough scroungers of our own without adopting everybody else's On that side I will give kudo's to australia who will only let in those that will add something to their economy

No such thing in Australia.

Plenty of useless people coming here to waste space and create traffic. They don't work either.

The latest election had promises from both parties to "stop the boats"...shows how bad the problem is getting.

The more foreign nationals in a country the less of its identity seems to remain.

Aussies are THE TIGHTEST punters ever to get in my Taxi.
They NEVER tip..mind you the chinese dont either

[I Hate Hleb]

Perhaps if you dropped them off at the correct destination, you might get one?

[mrgnu1958]

OH FECK!! i never thought of that

[JMascis666]

I've worked with two white female South Africans and never noticed any rudeness. They were both babes though, so I admit I wasn't always paying attention to what they were saying.

[I Hate Hleb]

Racist!!!
