Afrikaners displace racism into private in-group spaces rather than renouncing it

Evidence

These participants describe ‘racist comments’ and ‘racist jokes’ as something that people ‘don’t like’ or ‘might take the wrong way’. Therefore they are neither admitting that they are racist nor claiming that they are not – but they are arguing that their identity forces them to be vigilant against perceptions of racism and that utterances that might be ‘taken the wrong way’ must be reserved for an in-group audience. — Cornel Verwey and Michael Quayle, Whiteness, racism, and Afrikaner…, 120
