He is wrong, you are right. The greatest threat to the Khoi and San came as a result of the Trek Boer massacres which wiped out 90% of the San population, and instituted the Khoi into slavery/indentured labour. Many of the San, to avoid death, presented themselves as Khoi and as such (being hunter-gatherers), their way of life was threatened.

It is for this reason we refer to the KhoiSan as one-word, as their cultures became intertwined and diluted as a result of the Boers.

/u/Blou_Aap know your shit before talking out your ass.

Jy is maar 'n dom drol ou maat. I am Afrikaans, and a Voortrekker descendant. I know my own history. The Boer did not wipe out those people. Just do a slight bit more reading. The trek boer massacre or Weenen massacre and the the commonly known "Die slag van Bloedrivier rivier" (the battle of blood river) is where the Boere got masacred by the Zulus and actually held their own.NOTHING to do with the Khoi or San people and not even in the same geographic area for crying out loud.

The Khoikhoi traded with Dutch settlers at first and conflicts broke out from both sides. The Khoi started to fall victim to diseases from the Dutch, etc. There was never a masacre where settlers slaughtered the Khoikhoi or Hottentots as they were called.

There was no masacre of Khoi people by the settlers EVER, there was a series of Dutch-Khoi wars over land etc and they were pushed out, but never masacred.

Everything and I mean EVERYTHING, above is a simple few Google searches away.

So please stop talking through your assistance, with your obvious wrong sense of history of my country, please...

Oh shame. Don't be too indoctrinated by a history written by racists. The genocides of Khoisan are well documented, do some googling yourself. When I'm not on my phone I'll link academic articles for you.

ROFL, did you actually read any of that hahaha. Where the fudge does it say genocide. Get out of your booster seat, you're obviously not even from South Africa. Written by racists on an open platfform like Wikipedia. Cool story.
