I have grown up English but my grandparents were Afrikaans. I do see where you are coming from with your post. I think you are quite right to try and love yourself for who you are. Remember, things that happened were certainly outside of your control. I think our country is also changing so much, daily. I try to accept all people, as hard as that is to do sometimes. I have many Afrikaans friends. They are people with integrity. And just where would we be without a braai??
