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...
Can you clarify? Like the other comment, I don't quite get what you mean. Cheers.
