For white South Africans to be racially discriminated in a meaningful way they'd need to be a minority (which they are <10%) AND be alienated with regards to land, wealth and opportunities, which they're
not (yet?)
So yeah pointing out quite a unique context as a possible exception to the rule deflects away from the experience of minority non-white people in a society vs white people in that society.
