But when I read the opinion piece by one Eric Miyeni in The Sowetan today I immediately thought that this is the kind of hateful and deeply reactionary and sexist drivel which qualifies as hate speech. Mr Miyeni is of the race-is-destiny school of thought, the school of thought which thrives on racial generalisations and assumes that one has no individual moral agency. One IS one’s race. One has no life, no moral core, no complex emotions and beliefs that are unique to oneself — one is only one’s race.

Could it be that Miyeni was dropped on his head as a child and the damage is only manifesting now. The whole de Vos post is worth reading.
I say we should boycott his writing, his movies, everything.
