Elon Musk is mad he didn't get invited to UK summit

I think that’s an outdated view of how people view South Africans now. That video came out around the same time Leon left white South Africa as the system was collapsing. Europe was experiencing a lot of similar wealthy, boorish, racist types fleeing like rats fleeing a… well a ship that was going to start offering human rights to humans. Most people have a much more nuanced view of South Africans now. Even their rugby fans are proud of the fact of the rainbow nation. The Boers love their rugby and they became the dominant country in world rugby precisely because apartheid collapsed. Other people Lone Skum’s age made that happen.

There are surely some who are like Apartheid Edison (and some of the abuse Mannie Libbok received last weekend has to be taken in that context) but they are a minority of even Bokke fans who have to have been the source of the stereotype in the first place.

The world’s changed, Musk is still a €&^£.
