White Zimbabweans[edit]

The current name of the state does not change the fact that if the white population of the former country of Rhodesia identifies as Rhodesians, it's not wikipedias place to change that. Unless the majority of Rhodesians identify as Zimbabweans, the title should be Rhodesians Kepsalom (talk) 20:20, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is what they are called by reliable secondary sources that matters. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 10:25, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a complete mess it's so blindingly obvious that they should be called Rhodesians or white Rhodesians the historical name of the country and the focus of the article is on Rhodesians every link to this article is labelled Rhodesian it's a lazy change that just confuses and hides the history of these people. White Zimbabweans would by definition include non Rhodesian whites living in Zimbabwe. It's a politically motivated change that's confusing and makes it difficult to understand what the subject matter is actually referring to. 2A00:23EE:1300:6A3F:4958:4B22:7FC8:7C59 (talk) 12:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its not the Rhodesian Ridgeback Dog anymore its the "White Zimbabwean ridge back"

There are 164 sources attached to this article the majority of them use Rhodesian the only ones that use White Zimbabwean refer to whites that live in Zimbabwe right now at a minimum there should be 2 articles. one for White Zimbabweans and one for the historical and existing ethnic group known as Rhodesians.

I'm a Rhodesian; I'm definitely not a Zimbabwean, insisted Robin Ross, a farm machinery salesman.
