To quote a guy I saw shouting at his white boss in an alley in Cape Town a few years ago: “Look, you’re a fuckin’ racist, hey?”
Tell me more about how not racist it is there. I’d love to hear it. And how there’s low to no income disparity that certainly doesn’t track ethnic demographics. I’d love to tell my South African friends all about it. And how the laws definitely, for sure, are super egalitarian and don’t do like they do in the US where stolen wealth isn’t locked up into the hands of the “right people.”
Edit: Because you all don’t understand subtlety: I’m assuming you’ve never been to South Africa. I lived in a neighboring country for a few years and been to ZA a number of times, and what you’re saying does not reflect reality in the slightest.
Never been, huh?

My bad. I used a double negative, which clearly confused you.
“That doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist there” means “racist behaviour almost certainly still goes on there”.
I can try to break this down to words of just one sound if you like, but to do that might be too mean, and it’s hard to write like this as well.
You need to look up what the word “nominally” means, it completely changes the meaning of the sentence you’re objecting to.
Not once do the words “never been” appear in that person’s comments. You’re arguing against something they didn’t say
Because I’m suggesting they’ve never been to South Africa and yet are telling me all about it.
