What does the word "Afrikaans" mean. Sorry if I sound dumb but I'm just curious. I work for the newspaper and saw an article about that. I guess it's a class of people. I don't know, someone please help.

Lady Ice Just another point of view: As Afrikaner (and more so, a South African) I believe people define themselves - rather than BE defined by others. This was the case in our country's sad history, and many people still have that habit it seems. Many people of various skin color - other than white - also call themselves Afrikaners. Mooi bly.
