This is not a constructive line of argument.

Good summary, thanks for adding it. One does feel obliged to mention one's "race", as it seems like it's the first thing that someone will assume (wrongly or not) in any conversation in SA. And saying that one shouldn't mention some amount of background really is along the lines of "all lives matter".

So, anyway, agreed with your arguments and thanks for the additional ones I didn't know about. It's important for all South Africans to understand the difference between background and your own future. Many other countries do have this kind of unity, but at historical price of a lot of wars. In SA we essentially avoided war at the cost of multiple identities, and this is something we should draw on for the better.
