So if America has "gangstas" and "white trash" and Britain has "Soccer Hooligans" and "Chavs", what's your country's "trash"?

South Africa; each race has their own. It's interesting.

It's easy to look at SA and see the racist people and think "OK whites hate blacks" but it's hard to pick out which subgroup is hated in each race.

Whites - as far as I can tell, the most hated are the boers. Even if an individual is a nice person, blacks equate apartheid with boer. Basically any white person who grew up on a farm. Also the crazy rugby Afrikaaners are boers. In my experience they're often nice people but man the stereotypes definitely exist and are the worst.

Coloureds - the gangsters. Lots of Cape coloured gangsters in the Western Cape. They sort of run the big prison down there, Polsmoor Prison. The normal coloureds actually hate them more than the other races because they give coloureds a really bad name. Most coloureds are actually really nice people.

Indians - the kind who are obsessed with cars but grew up in poor areas. Also very into dressing like stereotypical American ghetto people. Generally get a bad rap and white people like making fun of their voices, which sound whiney. The term is thumbie but out of big cities like Durban and Joburg, people in other places in SA don't interact much with Indian people and they assume all Indian people grow up in poor areas.

Blacks - racist persons of other races often just hate black people in general. However. Black people hate "farm people" which is essential black people growing up in rural areas and moving to urban or suburban areas and then living in squatter camps or low cost housing. Soweto excluded because that's basically a town. Tsotsi's there, not farm people. Very different. I have never seen such hatred until I saw some of my middle class black friends get into an altercation with one of what they csll farm people. From both sides actually. The farm people say that other blacks benefit by sucking up to white people. Other blacks say farm people give them all a bad name by being lazy to work and violent criminals.
