Who can stay in Orania? | Orania Blog
One of the standard questions that every journalist and many visitors to Orania ask, sometimes through genuine interest, but mostly for us to attract, is: "Can A black / brown / Chinese / Indian / English also stay here?" The implied question is: "How can you dare to discriminate against people based on their skin color or ethnicity?" mumbai port
Okay, for those who do not know yet, nowhere in Orania's constitution or in its selection documents is any mention made of skin color, or physical traits that made prospective residents must comply. For left-liberals distinction is, therefore, discrimination,'s the original sin. Granted, discrimination people to come is not something that one would or could defend.
Orania is a community that has arisen by association. New inkomers mumbai port must, from the nature of the case fit in with the existing community, which formed over the years by people engaged mumbai port in the pursuit of Orania could relate to, and the demands it put along could sustain. The attitude of the community is that everyone wants to identify with Orania, given a chance, but that time will tell whether that initial intent was meant seriously or not.
Orania's population is characterized as Afrikaans, Christian and white. There are a few that are not home Afrikaans speaking, mumbai port but that does Afrikaans in public speaking. Others may only nominal Christians and it does not really live, but it is each person's own responsibility and his own conscience must be a judge.
To be white in the new South Africa is a Mark Cain and something especially by left-liberals reservoir seen. This is something you can not change, you are born, all curse yourself mumbai port and your parents for that. Your faith, your language and your culture you have to much trouble to change, not your skin color. On something innate, is you do, however, neither proud nor ashamed to feel. That's how and who you are. And it is a fact that people who call them Africans, and by others as such be regarded, in their vast majority are white.
The fact that those who engage in Orania strives to identify and call them Africans, mumbai port among others, white is a feature of many, certainly nothing that makes us better, but certainly nothing to be ashamed and apologize for making mumbai port do not.
Anyone who lives in Orania so white? Ask our left-liberal visitors. We are an African Village, and although not all white Africans need to be, is there a clear correlation. Not all swans are white, but by far the most. And if you're a swan describe, you will not mention that he feathers and a long neck and floats on water, but he usually white.

Recently there was an article in the City Press about a boy in the Free State countryside that of Taiwanese descent, and in every respect an African, except for its appearance. mumbai port He does all the typical Afrikaner boy in the Free State countryside, where he grew up, too: he speaks Afrikaans, play rugby, mumbai port drink like brandy and coke, listening to African music, like porridge and roasted meat, etc..
If the boy wants to stay in Orania, he will be allowed? Yes of course, I can think of no reason why not. But it remains an extreme exception, otherwise it was not a whole page newspaper article referring to the front page worthy. Because there is a Chinese who became an Afrikaner and Orania could feel at home, this does not mean that all Chinese in Orania will adapt. mumbai port The same goes for a black one that for whatever reason have an Afrikaner become. It is extremely rare that members of a dominant majority of them at the marginalized minority join. The Taiwanese boy as a member of an absolute minority in the fairly prominent and in much larger numbers Afrikaner minority joined because mumbai port he was in a rural African environment growing mumbai port up. In a multi-cultural society such as in Johannesburg would probably not have been the case and he would part with the English, become globalized mainstream.
