When looking at the biography of any major figure, see how often they are "Jewish-Russian" instead of just Russian immigrants or any other nationality.
Same way that Elon Musk or another other white South African is Dutch or Dutch-Afrikaner.
Those little language manipulations they sneak in tells you more about them than anything else.
Musk being African-American ruins a lot of language tricks, as well as a lot of narratives about Africa and South Africa specifically. So they instead insist on saying he is Dutch, unlike all the blacks in America who get to be the actual African Americans and not Congolese or wherever they originally came from.
I would say Boer. Isn't that what they are? They dumb down everything, yeah. Most Americans, if I had to hazard a guess, don't know what a Boer is. Some might not even know where the Netherlands is.
People like Musk and the rest of the whites mess up most of their "Africa" narratives, so they make sure to remind you they are not in fact South African but Dutch or whatever European they came from. They cannot be African, or even African American, because it would ruin numerous ways they use to manipulate language all around us.
In the same way that every single Jewish immigrant is certain to point out they were a Jewish immigrant, before or the the exclusion of their actual nation. This is to remind you that being Jewish is the most important "category" one can belong to and supersedes all others to the point of making them not matter. Though they'd never say that because it proves a lot of anti-semitism right.
This doesn't even limit to just them. Anyone who is even slightly not pure white will have their Mutt Latino/Asian genealogy listed in full always. White people however rarely get such loving descriptions, they aren't British/German/Swedish mixed. They are European or American, or not even mentioned at all.
So it goes deeper than just framing of headlines, its all around us constantly pushing a bunch of their narratives.
Ah, I get what you're saying. Gotta respect the hustle, actually. I'd like to say I'm pretty perceptive, but I don't think I'd noticed that particular linguistic trick. But, now that you mention it, it makes sense.
They insert that extra little layer, to make it seem like Elon (or whoever) is some "colonist." Doesn't matter if his people grew up in Africa for generations, they add that extra little modifier on to delegitimize everything. Actually pretty clever.
Nevermind that the Dutch settled some of Africa before the fucking Africans did...
Here is another one for you.

Not sure I follow.

So they instead insist on saying he is Dutch, unlike all the blacks in America who get to be the actual African Americans and not Congolese or wherever they originally came from.
Its a clever little trick of language they use.
Oh.
I would say Boer. Isn't that what they are? They dumb down everything, yeah. Most Americans, if I had to hazard a guess, don't know what a Boer is. Some might not even know where the Netherlands is.
It serves to distinguish the "real" South Africans and Boers.
I see now. They're emphasizing the Bantu migrants who came since white people made it nice as the real SAs.
Can you clarify? Like the other comment, I don't quite get what you mean. Cheers.
