Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Who could have guessed that the rich white South African would turn out to be a white supremacist?

Sorry but, no. Stereotypes are bad.
He's a white supremacist. That's all that matters here.
Except South Africa has a specific history where being a white South African, raised in the era in which he was raised, can be expected to have a very relevant influence on how he sees the world.
No. This is textbook bigotry. You're literally implying all white people around his age who were raised in South Africa are just like him.
That's fucked up.
Look, my last comment left out the word "rich", the original I replied to used it. As far as I'm concerned, any rich white South African from the apartheid era is sus as fucking fuck, at a bare minimum. Onus is on THEM to prove they aren't monsters.
If that's bigotry to you, you have a lot of growing up to do. This kind of nonsense purity testing is the reason the left remains a fucking meme.
ETA: Ah, you even put words in my mouth, "just like him". Did I make such a claim? What I said in the first place is that growing up that way would definitely influence how someone sees the world. So the ridiculous hair-splitting you're doing isn't even close to accurate, you had to invent a comment I never made to throw your bad take at. Yikes.
Imo the rich part matters too
It matters in the same way that fire can kill you. If you're in a house fire, you died of smoke, not fire. But.....fire can still kill you, and is dangerous.
Wut?
Fuck off. Being South African has nothing to do with this guy’s bullshit.
Edit: ppl downvoting this fact without even attempting to back up the contrary are idiots and cowards.
I don't think they're saying each item individually.
