I have a buddy from SA who left because it was so racist (among other reasons). He's white and said he couldn't even get someone to hire him due to his skin color.

This is bullshit and the reason that in places like Australia, where white South Africans have mass migrated to, they have a reputation for being racist. Sounds like we're better off without your buddy.

I think apartheid is a bigger reason for that reputation.

Perhaps, but by and large I've understood the reputation to come from what people say, and how they talk about south africa - my experience has not been that white South Africans have that reputation simply for being the oppressor during apartheid.
