Let me give you guys and gals some perspective as I know better than most on this subject.
Let me put it this way. What makes you something? Your blood line, or your skin colour?
All Afrikaners has 2% to 5% African blood yet they are white.
What is Morocans or Egyptians then? They are not black.
Whites in Africa is a general term. Many whites are born in Africa but they don't have a drop of black blood.
Afrikaners (boers) are just one sub group of whites. By throwing Afrikaners into the white group, people miss the point totally. Sadly this happen in reference to South Africa, it's politics and economies.
Once you take Afrikaners out the equation of the bigger white group, you'll get more clarity.
An Afrikaner born in Africa is an African.
A white born in Africa is an Euro-African.
The one mixed with Africa, the other did not. (Fresh off the white gene pool as they say)
This post raises an excellent question. The link is to a well known white nationalist who does not believe in multiculturalism or inclusion. Should a person who believes that "white" Africans who are descended from Europeans and call themselves "Afrikaners", and want to live in isolation from the rest of Africa, call themselves African?
To me African American is a heritage, if indeed someone can trace their roots back to Africa.
However, simply calling all black people African American is misleading because there are black people all over the world who might be South American, Canadian, Caribbean, or from all kinds of countries.

I guess I am not white then, I am Lithuanian-American.
Ever hear the term KISS (keep it simple stupid)? Trying to be PC by calling people Nigerian-American, Kenyan-American, etc..is just a little much. Then you might offend someone by calling them Kenyan -American if they are Nigerian-American. Ugh...I like the terms white and black, just like the cookie.
That's just uncultured to me. There is nothing difficult about recognizing and respecting culture. Just ask someone their ethnicity if you don't know, rather than assume. If all a person can understand is color than they likely lack culture themselves. "KISS" must be necessary for the stupid.
(I went to school with a Lithuanian-American who did not consider herself white...and neither did her family)
"Well known naitionalist that don't believe in multiculturalism"??? LOL
He is a well known guy that embrace multiculturalism and is married to a black woman! Just goes to show the ignorance and nonsense some people sprout. Heaven help us!
uH??? Afrikaners only seperated themselves from blacks during Apartheid. Read up on some history other than the 47 years Apartheid lasted.
So, why did they seperate themselves? Because the Africans were raping and murdering the small white minority before Apartheid. Well documented from the early 17th century till Apartheid.
Black Africans were warring nations, killing off smaller groups of other African nations. Either enslaving them, or assimilating them. The best known is the Xhosa or the Zulu.
The Biggest massacre and raping of women and children, including 200 mixed race people that trekked with the Boers was a Blauwkrans. Minorities don't make it in Africa. Look at the history. The Afrikaner learned it the hard way. Apartheid was jus trying to buy time.
Black people are no angels. The difference is many black and white people move forward, but you sit with a handful of idiots that always live in the past. There are 3 million Afrikaners in South Africa compared to 50 million blacks. Think about it...

I apologize for not being PC but I call it as I see it.
My grandparents may be from Lithuania but I am not. I would never consider myself Lithuanian American unless I personnally moved here from Lithuania. I view my self as an AMerican and to break it down even more, white. If someone were to ask me my backround I could tell them my family is from Lithuania but it does not offend me in th least to be considered white. I like to generalize, if there is a need for more detail it will come later.
I learned the acronym KISS when I was in the military.
