Just what I would have posted!
I work with lots of South Africans, and one of them once said: "Kevin Pietersen. Never was there a better reason for the phrase 'I've never met a nice South African'". I think we often despise them precisely because they aren't afraid to say the things we're all thinking.

I disagree. I certainly don't embrace the casual racism most of the South Africans I've met seem to display.
But I see what you're getting at. I think we're all a wee bit racist to some degree, we just hate to see that aspect of ourselves.
I regard Katie Hopkins very much as a great example of 'says what we're all thinking', though. The woman is fucking vile, there are some things you just shouldn't say in public and I very much believe she does it for the troll factor.
But...she does speak a lot of uncomfortable truth at times.
