Why are all of the south african folks I meet white, when S. Africa is 7% white?

Seems like Bayesian calculations would show that the probability of meeting a black south African tourist here in America is far higher than the probability of meeting a white south African, yet of the many south African folks I encounter here, I don't think I have ever met one of native African descent. They are all the white European ones.
Considering the fact that South Africa is only 7% white, why is this the case? Are all 90% of black south Africans economically disadvantaged?
It goes to show how brutal the oppression/Apartheid was. Even now, as the years go by since it ended, they are still so much worse off than such a tiny minority of the country.

Google "the apartheid" and you'll see the answer to your question

Pretoria is majority white.

Answer seems pretty obvious man.

I didn't think it was that low but according to wiki.
Note that while over one-fifth (20%) of each age group over 65 is white, whites form less than one-twentieth (5%) of South Africans under 5 years of age.

Give them another 20 years, and things will even out, just like they did in America after the civil rights act.

Apartheid ended 21 years ago.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo is approximately 100% black, by my reckoning.
There are some smoke show finalists Boer females from Süd Afrika.

Africa has always been poor. Apartheid didn't make them that way.

Slavery ended 150 years ago in America and is still being used as an excuse for failure.

Other then Oprah and Blacks in the U.S. military, I don't think many American Blacks travel often.

Wouldn't your point be helped by seeing if you could figure out the race of SA immigrants here, rather than using only personal experience? How many South African natives have you actually met?
That last question was rhetorical, btw. You'll of course lie to help prove your own point, but I think you get mine.

Bc the whites have enough money to get the hell out of there. Soon South Africa will be as awful as the rest of subSaharan africa.

Now it'll suck for 99% of the people as all the infrastructure crumbles. Like the entire rest of subSaharan Africa.

Because they're mostly poor and live in rural areas.
