I think it’s more basic than that. I think there are a lot of Americans of a generation younger than mine who grew up never knowing about the colonial history of South Africa, and have no idea that a significant minority of the population there is white.

Yep and they've probably never heard of Apartheid. Also, it's unlikely they know who Nelson Mandela is.

Her parents are white? That aside, an American couple of Scottish ancestry were stationed in South Africa when the fraternal twin children were born. Classic red haired, blue eyed Scots. At college they tried to join an African American club on campus. They were the only authentic African Americans in the room. The rest were black Americans with possible distant African ancestry. They were rejected for insufficient melanin.

Let’s see now, because South Africa was founded by white people and their descendents still live there?

Seems no one complains when the US has a non white win beauty contests. You have to be major White Guilt Liberal to whine when a white girl represents So. Africa in a beauty pageant

I didn’t realize there was a racial requirement. Seems racist to question her race. Is she in any way unqualified? Seems more than attractive enough to have a shot at winning. Id think anyone would be happy to have her representing their country.

I'm sure there is a racial requirement for the Miss Black USA.

I am not sure about Miss White USA.

Here's a very beautiful South African ... JAS-39

She may be wearing SA colors, but she's a Swede.

Afrikaners (descended from Dutch Settlers in the Cape Colony) is now 10% or so.

CIA says (2001 census):

black African 79%, white 9.6%, colored 8.9%, Indian/Asian 2.5% (2001 census)

She could be "colored". They vary across a wide spectrum, as would be expected.

One engine; two pilots....something wrong with that picture!

It's a conversion trainer. No different in concept than an F-16B or D.

SA is 90% black

CIA World Facto Book, based on 2001 Census, saya 79%. But 8.9% are "colored" and may look white, black, Asian, or some combination thereof.
