The (white) African I know said that virtually all south Africans they spoke with would be casually racist without a thought about it

Doesn't make it true for all white South Africans.

If we're ever going to move forward, I think we need to stop seeing others as only members of various groups, each of which we have prejuidces about.

Not all white South Africans are rich.

Darthelmet specifically talked about rich white South Africans.

And in the time that musk’s family lived in South Africa, apartheid was still a thing.

No one here is doing that. What was said is that if a south African does a racist thing, you shouldn't go out of your way to give them benefit of doubt.
