The Afrikaners have become some of the favorite villains within the realms of alternate history. They've become common enough in their stereotypical role as a bunch of expansionistic racists that they could be considered something of a [[alternate_history/alternate_history_cliches|cliche]] in the genre. On AH.com, our resident South African member [[offtopic:Marius]] can [[offtopic:P-rant]] extensively on this subject. The 'Afrikaner catchphrase', as coined by [[offtopic:Thande]]'s mate Alan, is to lean threateningly across a table and shout "You can't come in here because you're //blick!//". | The Afrikaners have become some of the favorite villains within the realms of alternate history.

In many works on AH.com, there are Afrikaners who are not Afrikaners. User Baconheimer is very into this concept, having created Amerikaners, Amaazoners, and Ostraliaaners in past maps and games. However, his "not-Afrikaners" are generally not evil. The bonus to having Amerikaners is that you can have Theodore Roosevelt as an Amerikaner. Sevarics is currently writing a timeline called "The Rise and Fall of the Amerikaner Republics". As you can imagine, Amerikaners feature in this timeline alongside a heavily germanized Bohemia. | In many works on AH.com, there are Afrikaners who are not Afrikaners.
