The Afrikaner

I have developed a troubled relationship with the Afrikaner. An Afrikaner is a White person who is South African and speaks Afrikaans. They are very privileged, and I find that many of them are drunk from Wednesday-Saturday.

I went out Wednesday and tonight, Saturday (really, I guess it's Sunday now). Both times were to celebrate my friend Cassandra's, who is from Missouri, never-ending birthday celebrations. We always go to McDonald's after we go out, because for anyone that has been drinking, the food at McDonald's is so greasy, that it soaks up all the alcohol and prevents hangovers. It is also the only restaurant that is open and is fast.This is a well known fact, and every night McDonald's is packed full of people, including many drunk Afrikaners!

Wednesday night, they were breaking in and causing disorder in the line. So Cassandra, in an low but aggressive tone, tells everyone that there is a line. There's a fuss or whatever, but I think everyone eventually does get in some sort of line. Then, the Afrikaner in front of her is so drunk that he's not paying attention, so Cassandra breaks in front of him. He starts getting loud and stuff. An argument breaks out. He starts talking in Afrikaans. It was just all a loud, big mess. It definitely ruined what was otherwise a good evening. Then later on at the table, this guy made the gesture as if he was going to throw a fry at our table. And let me not forget that my friend Brittany and I were on our way to the McDonald's and were asked if we were from the Congo by a drunk Afrikaner speaking French. And, just a disgusting observation, the ketchup dispenser wasn't working, so an Afrikaner girl opens up the canister, dips her cup in the thing of ketchup, and lays the pump just sitting out for the next person. Oh yeah, and another disgusting observation, a guy was so drunk and probably so high that he ate 3 Big Macs, a McFeast, and a fry with his eyes closed. There was mayonaise all over his face. It was gross. It was just a disgusting night.

Tonight, GOT BETTER... joke. -_- Jayden and I were standing in line to get something to eat after celebrating Cassandra's birthday (again! hahaha.). All of a sudden, this random Afrikaner comes and sneaks his hand up Jayden's dress!!!!!!! And then he walks right past like he did nothing wrong. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It was one of those speechless moments. Where you don't know whether it's real or not. But it was real... he didn't apologize or do anything. He pretended like he didn't do anything wrong. The manager came from the back and looked at us and we were like "HE PUT HIS HAND UP HER DRESS!" So, the manager had security kick him out of the restaurant, but really, in America, that guy would have and should have been arrested. And none of the other Afrikaners stood in our defense. None apologized for their friend or corrobarrated our story. I am POSITIVE we were not the only ones who could have seen it. I forgot one of the worst parts.. THEY ALL STARTED SINGING A SEXUAL SONG ABOUT MCDONALDS TO US. We couldn't really understand what they were saying, but they were making sexual hand gestures and saying the items on the McDonalds menu. It just pisses me off, because there is another fun night out ruined. And I feel bad, because Jayden was like about to cry and I had to tell her to "Hold it in." She did not deserve that at all. We were in a club with at least a hundred Colored and Black men and not ONE of them went under her dress... only the Afrikaner at McDonald's.

I am sure there must be "good" Afrikaners out there. I am just not sure I have met many. I have heard that it's just Stellenbosch. I heard Capetown and Johannesburg are really liberal. I sure hope so, or I fear for the future of this country.
