Or maybe it is just the teabagging South Africans?
"Well, people have said that South Africans have told them they must go back to where they come from, they don't belong here," Verryn says. "Some have been threatened, some assaulted. But the general feeling is they must get out of here."

Clearly, Obama as some more non-enforcement to do overseas as well as at home.

There were the usual denials of racism from the usual suspects:
The South African government's response has been ambiguous. It recently re-established the interministerial committee on xenophobia. But its head, and minister of police, Nathi Mthethwa, describes the latest violence as criminal, and not based on race or ethnicity.

They can't fool us; it's not a coincidence that everyone involved is an African American South African.

There are, of course, the usual complaints from residents:
"The people from the outside of this country, we don't need them because they're taking our jobs," says Victor Mbatha, who, like everyone else around the table, is unemployed.

The others nod in agreement.

"We want them to go back to their countries ... because this is our country," Mbatha says.

So...more evidence of racist teabagging or should be believe the transparent claims of the apologists?
