Hi everyone
I am a South African, and I'd like to share a little bit of history with you all. I apologize for donning rosy-tinted glasses whenever I discuss my nation of birth, but I just can't help it. Please, bare with me.
In 1990 when Apartheid got pwnt by the Silent Majority in South Africa and the National Party closed all the pools and posted their official Goodbye thread all over the world, many South Africans began to panic. You see, a lot of people thought that when the Keys to the Government were handed over to these n00bs then there would be a hueg civil war and everything would go to hell.
So these South Africans went out and bought tons of canned food (SRSLY) and hid under their beds for years, until one day they ran out of canned food, so they went outside and completely freaked out at the masses of racial people walking around.
Their immediate response to this was to hastily send all their children to London, Australia, New Zealand, London, Ireland, London, London, Canada, and Dubai. Obviously, because the 1st World is full of incredibly lazy people, the South Africans got tons of jobs because they are so hard-working (i.e. desperate).
These immigrants were given a nickname, they were called Saffas. This word comes from an old word* that historical South Africans used to refer to all people of colour within the old Republic.
So ironically, the word "Saffa" is a racial slur used today to refer to white South African immigrants.
I am a white South African, and I am a minority, so if you call someone like me a "Saffa", you are committing racialism and I will report you to the Admins.
Thank you
