Brits are hated on Holla Forums and the reasons behind this hatred are wrong. One of these reasons concerns the Boers.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have a lot of respect for the Boers. Their culture is rich, and the current situation of South African whites, particularly Afrikaners, is dire. But Holla Forums has a habit of oversympathising with them, which can lead to LARPing as well. So allow to explain why you shouldn't feel too sorry for them.
It's worth remembering firstly that we invaded the Cape as part of the Napoleonic Wars, and we were fully justified in doing so. If you want to whine about 'it's not fair' do it elsewhere. Also remember that many of the Boers stayed behind in Cape Colony rather than go on the Great Trek. We brought the Boers many benefits in our lands, which they were grateful for. As an example, Cecil Rhodes later faithfully commanded the respect of the Boers in his seat to which he was elected many times.
I would also point out that while were expanding eastwards towards Boer territory, it was entirely within our right to do so. Might makes right, and were forging an empire. Eventually they were going to end up inside our Empire regardless, and while I don't blame them for fighting, you shouldn't hold this up as some sort of heroic freedom struggle. It's LARPy, and goes against the principles of this board. Complaining that the Boers lost (after declaring war on us, twice) is just being salty. Might makes right.
A lot is made of the fact that we 'genocided' the Boers. This is grossly untrue. We used efficient tactics to combat the guerrilla tactics of the Boers as best we could. We weren't going to win the war by worrying about ethics. Thus, we put them in camps. And contrary to what you've been told (propaganda), we did not intentionally starve the Boers in the camps, we simply couldn't get supplies to them. In actual fact, a higher percentage of British soldiers died in the camps than Boer civilians.
Of course, the Boers must command our respect for their conduct after the war. They largely proved to be dutiful servants of the Empire. I do believe Apartheid was a mistake, despite being motivated by real concerns, but I bear no ill will towards Afrikaners, even if they are prone to bouts of anti-British sentiment.
In short, stop being 'plastic Boers', so to speak. Don't be anti-British simply because you sympathise with them. And don't LARP when South Africa is brought up. OK thank you.
