Question

In what ways were the boers racist and believed they were better?

Answer 1

The British were just as racist;  don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  

Answer 2

They believed that their god gave them the power to dominate black people who they considered sub human

Answer 3

The believed that a curse laid by Noah upon one of his sons (Ham) showed that 'black' people are inferior to 'white' people.

See this article regarding the "Curse of Ham"

Furthermore, they believed that they, the Boers, got to southern Africa before black people! That is, they accept black people were in Africa, but not at the southernmost part. Thus they believe that they built South Africa, and that it was set aside for them

They borrowed an Islamic insult "Kaffir" and used this to denigrate black Africans.
