I've dealt with Afrikaaners in the past. They are a proud, hearty people (rugby was mandatory in their schools to "toughen" their youth). I didn't care for their Calvinist racism and apartheid, but their history of conquering native people parallels the US. The genius and compassion of Nelson Mandela deftly maneuvered Suid-Afrika into a post-apartheid country with little bloodshed, although there are residual AWB deadenders (like America's Jan 6 lunatics, the Proud Boys, and the Oaf Keepers).
