Hoi allemaal!

Elsie wrote back about the word "Afrikaner."

I have never believed all people who speak Afrikaans are racist. Mostly
because I have talked with many people from South Africa. Many who,
unfortunately, have left their homeland, for numerous reasons. You're
right though, the media can wreak havoc with those terms and most
people don't "filter" that information. They hear it on TV and believe it.
(Kom ons gaan samen praat. Ek is lief vir julle taal en ek vind die baie
vriendelik.)
