What is depicted in the satirical portrayal of an 'oppressed white South African'?

The clip presents a satirical portrayal of an allegedly 'oppressed white South African' whose daily life contradicts claims of hardship. The speaker describes waking up in a 'shelter' with a husband who brings coffee, bathing in a pool (which is contradictorily described as both a luxury and their only water source), and applying for jobs they're not qualified for. The satire becomes evident through the juxtaposition of claiming oppression while simultaneously describing privileges (having a pool) and the absurdity of complaining about not getting jobs they admit to being unqualified for. This appears to be commentary on misrepresentations of white South Africans' experiences in post-apartheid South Africa.
