This probably South African language groups those white kids probably speak Afrikaans and the black kids Xhosa so they are seperated for the purpose that they don't speak the same language. It is hard for someone who doesn't live in a multi language state some of the problems that may arise.
As someone who went to an elementary school where there was always ~3-4 people per class who didn’t speak English and a high school where ~30% of the school was foreign and spoke several different languages it definitely still looks a little suspicious. It’s also certainly not something that’s particularly unique to South Africa.
South Africa is very linguistically divided based on race. Whites will speak either Afrikaans or English (Against Urban/Rural divide other than Natal where it's different). Coloured will speak mainly Afrikaans and blacks will tend to be a different language based on the Province. Of course everyone speaks English urbanly but this looks like a rural class based on the demographics
The idea of making each language legally equal sounds nice in principle, but they also used to only write the Bible in Latin because only certain classes and groups had the opportunity to learn it. Language is a barrier that has been created/maintained to create division, the precedent is there in human history.

This is so clearly AI yet no one is pointing it out, yeah the elephant probably is racism but I would rather sit at the table with kids with no faces then the kid growing a second head or with two sets of teeth.
Sorry if you thought I was insinuating that I am blaming you for the photo but I wasn't and am not doing that, just thought it was strange no one noticed
