Genocide is too strong a word, but South African white population does have legitimate grievances by now. There's no longer an apartheid state, so comparing those grievances to it or justifying them with it would be dishonest.

Are we sure about that because I've never really been able to get a unbiased viewpoint. You know because they're all racist over there as like the default position. Even if they're not unpleasant people they're kind of just casually racist, it does mean that whatever they say has to be taken with several hundred kg worth of salt

There are official stats.

I know. This includes everyone in SA seemingly, though, not just whites.

What stats you haven't provided any stats, you just said the had legitimate grievances and then didn't elaborate.

There are South African official crime stats. That's an answer to "what stats".

Neither did you provide any data, somehow in the Internet it's always only the other side that should do it. That's an answer to "you haven't provided any stats".

I might look up something later, no earlier than Saturday.

Do they? Because every time I've looked at the issue, it seems like they manufactured a crisis out of a small number of unrelated home invasions
