True. However there is significant German component within South African whites some of which is subsumed into the Boer's od Dutch ancestry. There is also German presence in neighbouring Namibia.

Agreed. I know racism is prevalent condition. This is fact and is found all over the world across the entire spectrum of humanity. I myself have some crude impulses but civilization demands us to strive toward higher thinking than the just base impulses.
I recently had to go and see a very elderly relative in ward where most patients were plus 70s and many with terminal conditions. All in all it was a depressing experiance to see how we (most) are going to leave this world. However while sat there in a atmosphere heavy with suffering and pain I saw something incredible. The NHS staff that cared for these patients operated like well oiled machine. Within the staff I saw almost every type of human on earth. Black, brown, white, yellow and mixture in between. I thought to myself if there were any racists amongst the patients and if there were did it matter now in their condition as to who careed for them.
Like I said before we live in one world which increasingly is getting interconnected. We are going to have to learn to live in harmony for everrybody's sake. Anymore I am going start sounding like John Lennon. So I will make way for him to say it his way ...... Imagine.
I doubt that's going to cut any ice with
@MarkusS but a quick search on Google tells me that not all Italians think like him. They did after all vote for a black member of the Italian parliament. Although it does appear that Italy has a problem with racism.

Be that as it may but they have partial or otherwise German ancestry even if it is convoluted. At some point some ancestor set his foot out of Germany on long journey over time and space.
