I don't think anyone is alleging they went to the UX designers and told them they needed some form of distraction.

White South Africans make up 8% of the population but own 72% of farmland. This is a direct result of apartheid and colonial racism more broadly. Expropriating some of this land and returning it to black South Africans is directly undoing this damage.
