    You’re right! You know what I could have said instead?

    Who could have guessed that the rich white South African would turn out to be a white supremacist?

    See the flaw in using too few words?

      I don’t see any flaw. The meaning of that sentence is very clear.

      If the post lead with that then maybe there wouldn’t be any complaints.
