except for immigrants, we're all african. All South African born white people, English and Afrikaans are just as South African as the Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, Venda, Pedi, Tsonga, Ndebele and Swatis. although there might be racial differences here and there, both white and black accept each other. I am Afrikaans and one of my best friends is a Zulu. So despite our differences, we get along great.
