Everyone of race X who lived in location Y at time Z thinks the same

No. This is textbook bigotry. You're literally implying all white people around his age who were raised in South Africa are just like him.

That's fucked up.

Look, my last comment left out the word "rich", the original I replied to used it. As far as I'm concerned, any rich white South African from the apartheid era is sus as fucking fuck, at a bare minimum. Onus is on THEM to prove they aren't monsters.

If that's bigotry to you, you have a lot of growing up to do. This kind of nonsense purity testing is the reason the left remains a fucking meme.


ETA: Ah, you even put words in my mouth, "just like him". Did I make such a claim? What I said in the first place is that growing up that way would definitely influence how someone sees the world. So the ridiculous hair-splitting you're doing isn't even close to accurate, you had to invent a comment I never made to throw your bad take at. Yikes.
