Default To all white South Africans?


Do you identify yourself as an african, or rather as descendant of Europeans that happen to live in South Africa? Also, if you travel abroad and someone mistakenly calls you european, american etc, do you correct them or just let it go?oh i see, lol. This was not intended for black SA. However I do see your point. I just wanted to see if white s. africans identified as africans when they could be mistaken as Europeans. In essence whether they identified more as africans than europeans.Due to protests, If you are south african and wish to comment, no problem. If i offended anyone then I apologize. I can assure you it was question that had no inner meaning apart from the ones expressed earlier.

I am a white South African and proud to be called South African. I do not consider my self as descendant of Europeans at all since I was born and raised in South Africa. I do correct people if I am called European.

I am probably going to take criticism from the other S.A. regulars for my stance on the issue but I consider myself a European in Africa.

Why would this not be for Blacks too? Are they special where you are from? Grow some circles and say whatever the F you want to say about yourself. ANd by special I mean sensitive and inferior complexed!! Damn!Austin you are cool I was just saying scream that you are white proud and whatever you want to be or give yourself whatever title you want! Go white boy go whiteboy go! God Bless!

I was born in Africa, so I consider myself African, with European Ancestors.As for travelling abroad, I've never left the african continent, so I have never been incorrectly labelled as a European. I would however correct the person who made the mistake.

I once sat with some South Africans and we disscussed this very issue. Regarding Eueope USA Asia . The concencus was white SA are not indigenous people of Africa. They can call themselves what they like. In the west they are acceipted and it is not an issue like in South Africa.
