Agree! It was a bait and switch tactic to derail a necessary conversation. When I read the piece I didn't take it as anything more than an opinion piece, not hard journalism. I was however disgusted by the reaction to the piece and the racist attacks on the Huffpost team that fake news seemingly justifies. I think all these events are showing what many have suspected all along - that there is a pulsating racist heartbeat in our country that's hidden under a very thin veneer of neo-liberal slogans. Reading the "justification" of the author, he sums up his experiement to say that the real lesson is "Don't be a ****, be lekker". It's fundamentally a blank cheque to suspend any self-critique on issues of equality, privilege and racism. As long as you tip your car guard, that's transformation enough!
