I was talking to a user of X the Everything App™, and he was complaining about his colleagues. He had this whole thing about how he’s so divorced from the culture of his co-workers, so disconnected from any other white people, estranged from more and more of the individuals that he was working with. He has a boring office job and has a lot of foreign colleagues, I guess. And this feeling was something that he’d been carrying with him for a long time, and he felt like no one talks about it, and it was, to him, one of the chief ills of society, the way that we white people are making up a smaller and smaller portion of the country’s demographics. And he wished so much that we had a word for it, that people would talk about it.

“Oh yeah,” I said. “Grok called that white genocide”

“What?” he asked.

“You can google that phrase, ‘white genocide,’ and you’ll get tons of people talking about it,” I said. “It’s been a talking point for like, almost two whole years.”

“They’re South Africans though?” he asked.

“Most of them, yeah,” I said.

He looked off into the distance, thinking about that. I was waiting for him to ask some questions, or for him to talk more about what he was feeling. “Well,” he said. “I guess I’ll get over it.”
