Displaced Afrikaner racism survives as a private in-group discourse.
Evidence
These extracts demonstrate that there are some aspects of Afrikaner identity that are being jettisoned in both public and private, such as the image of the boer with long socks and short pants; or the violent, brandydrinking, bakkie-driving racist. Other aspects of Afrikaner identity can only be fully exposed or experienced in private or in like-minded company. In public your Afrikaans language must be concealed; you must āļ¬t inā; you must suppress your sense of humour to avoid appearing racist; and you must conceal actual racism to avoid ābe[ing] categorized like thatā. ā Cornel Verwey and Michael Quayle, Whiteness, racism, and Afrikanerā¦, 130
