If he's OLDER then that's just culture of doing things in certain parts of SA that he's used to do. Some not all, are like civil servants being snotty to everyone, and if he's Afrikaner all the more defensive. My ex used to tell people he was Dutch, not South African.

Even during apartheid, there was not as much segregation as the liberal propaganda mill will have everyone believe. Considering that SA is a country in transition I think a lot of outsiders are very harsh in their judgments which are very uninformed.

He did consider himself a dutch S.A.
He had a very hard time finding a place to live near work, it was in Downtown Cincinnait. He wouldn't even apply to the local YMCA, instead he asked about our suburbia YMCA. We had to tell him the only housing YMCA were DWTN Cincinnati, and across the river in Ky.

He wouldn't live in those places, because of the "blacks" living there.

He was sad.
