I am not afrikaans or a boer. I dont care if you like it. Its probably your culture. Its not mine. Its like calling a xhosa a zulu.

I did. I repeat, you are not English. You are English-speaking.

No you didnt. Reread it again. I was speaking about languages in that sentence, not nationalities. I speak English, so my original statement holds true. Hence me using terms like "afrikaans" and not "afrikaners"

Edit, Me rereading that post did point out an error I had made in the stats. So I have corrected it.

Source:

Among whites, Afrikaans was the first language for 59.1% of the population, compared to 35.0% for English. Other language accounted for the remaining 5.9%.[19]

That term is extremely racist in some cultural. it's one of the most derogatory words that you could use for someone from the arab nations.

I thought that asking why camels are called 'ships of the desert' was worse.

I take no offence to being called a Boer. That is my identity and I take pride in it.

However, referring to all white people as Boers is not correct for obvious reasons.

Not a complete list.

I have never heard the term 'Jim Fish'. What does it mean or where does it originate?

 

[Pitbull]

Thank God I'm a white, Afrikaans South African

A few more like?

 

[Ry4n]

But why is "boer" derogatory.

I don't mind being called one, even if I'm not a farmer.

The only offense that is connected to that word exists only in the some people's minds.

Boer is the new word for Kaff!r didn't you know.

 

[Ockie]

Call me a Boer then if you want. I am proud to have been born in my country, just like generations of my family before me. I am proud to be white, I am proud to be Afrikaans, and I am proud to be South African, even though my heart breaks constantly because of the path we are being lead down on.
