  • Great, as a South African, why do you think all the people in the photo are white and wearing tacticool and what are they actually dogwhistling about? Now there is some melanin present in the martial arts class, buried three photos deep in the top scroll.

    Not that those numbers are acceptable either, but something stinks about the way this is being presented.
