The story of racism is a never ending one. However, in the 20th century, it is commonly known that racism is often sent to the direction of Black people and other minorities. It seems that the direction is changing to White people. There are a number of uncomfortable No Whites allowed signs across University of Pretoria.
According to TimesLive, controversy erupts at the University of Pretoria (UP) as stickers bearing “blacks only” and “no whites” are on campus entrances by AfriForum Youth. The organization aims to shed light on perceived racial exclusion and double standards at the university.
While apartheid-era signs like “whites only” and “no blacks” have not been there in nearly three decades, these stickers were to protest the presence of the EFF Student Command (EFFSC) on campus.
Furthermore, AfriForum Youth seeks the deregistration of EFFSC, alleging intimidation and racial tensions stemming from recent protests, urging the university to address the issue consistently. UP has condemned the stickers, vowing disciplinary action against those responsible for promoting racism on campus.
No Whites allowed?
Ok.
Honestly if I saw that sign on a location, I would just keep walking.
No time or interest to find out why and I’m not even “white”.
Sounds like trouble or simply nonsense to inquire about it.

Several X users are showing their disappointment in the whole situation. Some state that this is one of those things that is going to bring trouble. Furthermore, others feel that race separations are what most freedom fighters were fighting for back in the day. Ironically, now it seems people want it to revert back.
Only whites can be racist they said.

Following that, users state that the University was founded by White people. In addition to this, users state that in our world, it seems that White people will be the racist ones no matter what. Many feel that open commentary against them are generally alright, but if the same is said about another group, it would be chaos.
Are Whites killing White farming families? Is it just more con games?

Others state that this is a propaganda done by White students to poke fun at racism. However, with the rise of racism against Europeans in South Africa, many disagree with this sentiment. Users state that farmers are getting unalived everyday and incidents like these are seemingly on the rise.
