is there a difference between Africans and Afrikaans apart from being black or white :p

Afrikaans is pretty much just a weird sort of Dutch mixed with small parts of 75000 other languages :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

There are probably English whites and others too? Afrikaners are rather specific minority of Dutch descendants who have Afrikaans as their first language (a funny version of Dutch, according to @heywoodu). :p

 

as far as i know no one speaks Afrikaans which's derived from dutch language and black there :d , ofc there're English whites and blacks there as long as English is the formal language of SA :p

Maybe descendents from white Dutch people who had children with black locals could have become more and more black through the generations, but technically be considered Afrikaner? :p

I think they are known as Coloureds in SA. I know that's a derogatory term in the States but in SA it's perfectly accepted to call a person coloured.

    • Yep, confirmed.  We have Marcelletje for , Lindsay Vonn and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for .   However, Vonn and Hirscher will be wild cards, so starting down with the Chileans and the Iranians in the first leg.  Snow conditions are good though.     Vonn, Hirscher & Braathen Returning To Racing At World Cup Opening - InTheSnow
