One of the burning questions that black people in South Africa would like to ask white people is: why do you always re-do high fives?

This and other questions have been asked on Facebook page, Joburger, after the page posted an image saying: “Okay black people… ask white people one question you always wanted to know”. These are some of the results (many of which are specific to white people in South Africa only):

The questions – which have mostly been accompanied by happy smiley face icons – have had a uniting effect, and perhaps the most popular comment has been this from Mzwakhe Zondo: “I went to an afrikaans high school, I work at a mostly white dominated school and I must say; If both whites and blacks actually got to sit down and talk, one would find we have more in common than you think. Personally some of the best people I know are white (and no, I ain’t coconut), I believe it’s high time both blacks and whites should get to know each other and make peace.”
