List of Diffs[edit]

Changing "raiders" to "raiding kaffirs". Although "kaffir people" was used historically to refer to a segment of the native South African population, it is now an ethnic slur, and even then was quite poorly-defined. diff

Used to try to illustrate racial segregation in commemorating the Battle of Blood River, using factually incorrect information (see below) diff Subsequently "legitamised" by capitalising the word. diff

Stating that the meaning of the name of the Mpumalanga province was in "a local kaffir language" diff

Creating a whole page, with frequent usage of the term "kaffir", and claims that boers were more successful due to a difference in IQ. (The reference used seems to be a favourite of white supremacists) original version

Johannesburg being the most dangerous city in the world diff
Removing statement that non-whites couldn't vote. (A virtually powerless separate government was put in place for Coloured and Indian people, but only in the 80's).diif
Rephrasing of another page, on the same premise [1]
Changing "the first Democratic Elections in 1994" to "the start of black rule" diff
Totally unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that the government plans to drop "Natal" from "KwaZulu-Natal", because it is of Afrikaans origin. (It actually originated from Portugese explorers, and the province was better known for being under English control...) diff
Calling the current government incompetent. (OK, the sentence expanded was pretty poor to begin with.) diff
Adding the "fact" that the "Day of the Vow" was called "Dingane's Day" by "blacks" (first edit was a racial slur, see above). (Presumably because it had a Zulu name in it, (s)he assumed it must have been used by Zulus.) A little investigation turned up that this was in fact an Afrikaner name for the day. diff

Moving kaffir (ethnic slur) to Kaffir (South African usage), regardless of there being mention on the page of its use in Jamaica, and of there being a higher-level disambiguation page. It is likely that the user was in some sense trying to legitamise the use of an extremely offensive term. diff

Creating a page to be a political soapbox, incorporating racist terminology [6], then reverting back to the original biased version more than three times when other users attempted to rewrite the page page history.
