Q. Afrikaners indicate the people:
a) Of Indo-African descent in the U.S.
b) Indigenous tribal communities in Africa
c) The white minority group in South Africa
d) More than one of the above
Correct Answer: c) The white minority group in South Africa
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c) The white minority group in South Africa
Explanation:
– Afrikaners are a South African ethnic group descended mainly from Dutch, with German and French Huguenot ancestry, and they speak Afrikaans (a language derived from Dutch).
– They are a white minority in South Africa, historically also referred to as Boers.
– They are not indigenous tribal communities (so b is incorrect).
– They are not a group in the United States (so a is incorrect).
– Therefore, only option c is correct.
