Yes, many people in South Africa are still so racist that they do the fried chicken stereotype thing and insinuate that this is a tactic that black majority political parties use to "buy votes".
Why are there so many white people online? Seriously, there are so fucking many. White South Africans alone are way over-represented. Reading the subreddit, you’d think SA was five percent Black.
Because data and internet connections are expensive, and white people are the richest group by far. Twitter is more representative of the country than Reddit though.
I always thought that the proliferation of smartphones in the developing world, esp in parts where a ton of people know English, would mean more diverse social media users.
