Nominally non-racist. Back during apartheid, South Africa was definitely racist. Now apartheid is over, everyone there, regardless of race, is supposed to be equal.
That doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist there, just that it’s no longer encoded into law, and indeed the opposite might be encoded, regarding hate crimes and the like.
Wait- sorry, what’s the non-racist country here?

You need to look up what the word “nominally” means, it completely changes the meaning of the sentence you’re objecting to.
My bad. I used a double negative, which clearly confused you.
“That doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist there” means “racist behaviour almost certainly still goes on there”.
I can try to break this down to words of just one sound if you like, but to do that might be too mean, and it’s hard to write like this as well.
Not once do the words “never been” appear in that person’s comments. You’re arguing against something they didn’t say
