[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The blatant lies about SA especially JoBurg on here is absolutely astounding. Rape culture? Hard to walk down the street? You should be ashamed of yourself for perpetuating these stereotypes and lies.

I just spent 6 months in SA for work (February- July).

Unfortunately, SA is like America in the 40's and 60's. Although they are post apartheid, the rampant racism and inequality is sad and exhausting.

I would not want an AP from SA because I would not want to expose my children to the backward "Alabama" type views of most non-Black SA people. The one point above that I do agree with is that a lot of Black SA's seemed to more "harsh" re: the interaction and engagement with their kids (from what I experienced).[/quote]

Okay, well, here’s an actual South African magazine article about how the rape rate is among the worst in the world. So it’s not a silly American perception. http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za/celebrities/conversation-starters/sas-rape-stats-may-theyre-still-way-high[/quote]
