Wait... Afrikaans are whites? I figured they'd be... well, native Africans. For some reason I had assumed that was just a term for an amalgamation of different tribes. Like First Nations to refer to various Canadian native tribes, basically.
If I remember correctly, Afrikaans refers to the original Dutch settlers of South Africa, which is why Afrikaans looks (though I don't know of it sounds), like Dutch.
