Afrikaner collective identity inverted nearly every Dutch cultural trait in reaction to racial mixture

Evidence

The development from Dutch to Afrikaner was motivated and mobilized substantially in reaction to the projected threats of mixture. Where the Dutch came to pride themselves as robustly individualistic, Afrikaners were nothing if not invested in a homogenizing collective; where the Dutch deemed themselves diplomatic, Afrikaners were dogmatic; where the Dutch were entrepreneurial, Afrikaners were dour, even paranoid; where the Dutch are famously marked by their particular brand of repressive tolerance, Afrikaners collectively came to be known for their intolerant repression. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1383
