I'm so proud that coloured people are being recognised. I personally don't like the term "coloured" because it was given to us by a racist white government. Being coloured isn't based on how you look because we all look different due to our mixed ancestry. Our culture is what makes us coloured. I don't mind accepting it as my culture, but the fact that we still have it as a race classification after nearly 30 years of being free from Apartheid...that's a bit weird. 😭 But thank you guys for sharing information on us❤
But then how else where you expecting this video to be described. Being Black in South Africa. Legally you know that there's no Race classification in South Africa. That was a practice of the past.
@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lqwhat fantasy country are you living in ? Race discrimination is just reversed . Coloureds are not black enough . Race laws are all skewed to favour the black Bantu people !
In Germany the SA coloureds would still be called blacks! It doesnt matter if you are Xhosa, Colored, Zulu, Bushmen etc... If someone has lighter brown skin and semi straight hair, he is classified as mixed(mischling) but still you are categorized as black and nobody having a problem with it... I think SA can learm much from Germany and their past
Ay and if you don't know afrikaans then you not colored enough especially if you have afrikaans speaking family members standard i know is ek nie praat afrikaans nie then after that im like Trevor Noah kyk die hond blaaf, ek hardloop vir die kombuis
I can relate to most of what she's saying... When I started school, I moved from Eastern Cape to KZN, in my Primary school, I was the only Xhosa in a school full of Zulu speakers... At first I would always rather speak English because people would make fun of me when I spoke Xhosa and my Zulu wasn't that good, as a result, my Xhosa wasn't as good as my family members and since they'd make fun of me when I couldn't say certain words, I just spoke English and that's when I was labeled "coconut" (black on the outside, but white inside), it took years before I could finally speak my own language without fear of being mocked... Today I work at a hotel and I always have to control myself when dealing with American tourists, a majority of them will always say "you speak such good English, you must've gotten a very good education".... This line angers me to the core, because why can't I just peak good English without specifically getting "very good" education... Anyways, my point is, people will always have something to say and as long as we're still trying to pleas them, we will never do anything right, there's always going to be someone complaining about something so just do you...
Bra. When you mentioned being the only "Xhosa" person at a "Zulu" school, that hit home for me! Having worked with Xhosa and Zulu people, being in that same social circles with them, I can understand why you say what you said and can't imagine how TOUGH it must have been for you in KZN as a Xhosa person! Strongz to you though for overcoming, king! From a Coloured person to a Black person....much luv, fam 👍
There are different coloured communities in Cape Town and we all speak differently in different areas, such as Northern and Southern suburbs. As well as coloured people from different parts of the country such as Johannesburg, Durban, PE and Cape Town, we sounds different and use different words, dialogues.
I am proudly colorued. People have different opinions and some people find the word coloured offensive. To me it is not a word it is my identity. We have ancestratl roots in South Africa. Most of my people are from the Khoi San, Griqua and Boesman tribes and then mixed with European, Asian etc... Eventhough we are mixed we do have a history and a culture of our own which is unique to us. We are still discritminated against and expereince prejudice on a daily basis. I think the aggressisveness is actually frustration because of the things going on in our country. In God we trust and believe that things will change.
I don't understand "I don't see colour". Our motto in the South African coat of arms is "Ike E Ixarra Iike" which means unity in diversity. When someone says they don't see colour, to me it translates as, "you are uncomfortable with people being different, you do not fully embrace the unique things that make up who I am in this world". This to me is not unity in diversity. I think I understand what the person who first said it was trying to do, but it also shows the inner discomforts that person may have had with diversity or people being different from them.
You qoute the language of the first nation , the true aboriginal and ONLY indigenous people of SA . Sadly that's all they get in their own land . Their language is not even given the dignity of being one of the 12 official languages . Their country is now ruled and claimed by the migrant invader black Bantu from central Africa .😢 So sad , their direct descendants are classified as coloured and are discriminated against and marginalized by the new oppressors with dark skin .
This video hit home for me in a different way. I grew up in a predominantly colored community and I am coloured. All those stereotypes were most of my community. Everyone knew an abuser, a thief, a violent person etc. and it was considered weird if you were not that. So when I was in school, me not wanting to go to parties every weekend, do drugs, talk bad about people or sleep with anyone (another stereotype being that coloured girls are always pregnant) was weird to the people I was around. I was called too white, too boujee even going as far as to say I was cosplaying being American or British. I learned the neutral American accent and British accent from the music and TV shows I grew up watching and that wasn't enough of an excuse for anyone who asked. I was so sick of being ostracized that I started just enjoying being in my own bubble having fun being this weirdo loner and surprise surprise, those same people flocked to me with the intention to degrade me and shit on everything I enjoyed (drawing is considered a white hobby or at best a man's hobby which is so strange to me). I've now grown to just do what I want and speak my mind because no one will do that for me. I can't live my life trapped in my own mind when I have the ability to do otherwise.
Absolutely inspirational! You are one of those rare people who just get it. You are that person that we all look at and say why can't we all just live together with people like this!
I am colored.. and in our families we have people who are dark and fair. In apartheid days , colored people who were fair skinned could pass for white. The government back then would give fair colored people white status.. and some colored families allowed that for their children because it would mean a better life for them... that meant then that you wouldn't see your parents of siblings again as different races couldn't mix. However a colored perso has a unique accent which meant it was easier for a fair colored to pass as white and speak Afrikaans than speak English because you wouldn't be able to pick up their accent if you spoke Afrikaans. These days because races mix , colored and black people no longer have a specific accent
I have 3 uncles born from the same mom & dad all differently classified. Its insane. My uncles whyt family was very surprised when we visited them & they wondered were all these coloured, blk & Indian looking ppl are coming from. Definitely a difficult complex issue
This is literally how Dominican Republic is, multi race very mixed. The main mix obviously is euro and white but even lots of the Spanish that colonized were mixed already. It’s many layers, almost way more than South Africans.
Coloured isn't a monolith, that's for sure! My children don't face this type of treatment - as coloured people. They have friends from all walks of life and everybody wants to show them off and be friends with them! There are simply zero issues. I've also noticed that since they were little, they've always been invited to birthday parties even when other kids in the same class weren't, for one or other reason. They're cool kids who get along with everyone.
The story of the coloured people in SA is complicated . The only indigenous , aboriginal people of SA are the khoi and San people , they are officially classified as coloured . This country was solely theirs before the arrival of the black Bantu tribes , that migrated south ward from central Africa . The large numbers of black tribes overran most of the country until the white European settlers arrived . The balance of power has shifted as these two foreign races competed for the land of the Khoi and San people (the first nation) Today the black tribes are in power and the coloured people descended from the khoi and San suffer terrible discrimination from the black government .
Many Cape Malay & East Indian & mixed ppl were also classified as coloured by the apartheid govt. That's why Khoi & San ppl are trying to separate themselves from the Coulored classification. They had very different experiences in our country & different culture ( that is dying out) than most Coloured ppl.
But like the khoi san ppl are still around and they are not of mixed origin so how could they be officialy classified as coloured? Thats like litteraly the core difference between the two.im not trying 2 be rude but im genuinely curious...if this is about having khoi ancestry literally every tribe has dat at varying levels...yes but still there.
@@mama-bp3yu Under Aparthied coloured was an umbrella term including various groups such as Hottentots, Bushman, Griquas, Koran and, Creole, Cape Malays, Cape Coloureds, Another coloured ( mixed ppl who could not fall under other classifications) , Negroes.... " Bushmen, Hottentots, Negroes" are now seen as racial slurs cause it was the Dutch that referred to certain groups. Till today Khoi/San ( mostly grouped under Bushmen derogatory term) still fight to reclaim their identity, have their royals recognized by the govt & refused to be called coloured. This has caused a divide cause others want to remain coloured due to the discrimination Khoi/San ppl still face.
@@mama-bp3yu the Nama , Griqua , Korana are all khoi clans , but are so called coloured , the " bruin mense" . Our identity has been hidden but is now being reclaimed . The black tribes indeed have some khoi and San blood , but not rear significant enough to make a difference or change their identity , similar to the white Afrikaner , they too have khoi lineage in many families . The difference with the Nama , Griqua , Korana is they are predominantly KHOI , with other race admixtures .
Man that is such a lie, black people are NOT foreigners in and to Africa, the whole “Bantu” narrative is a lie and not our history. We are NOT “Bantu”. Coloured people are not “Khoi”, the Khoi people are as African as the rest of the black people here in SA. The Basarwa “Khoi” are NOT coloured. Coloured people are a mix of White, Black, Indian, Malaysian, “Khoi” , but not the straight descendants of the “Khoi” people. You can’t tell the history told by white people to make their justification to do what they did in Africa proper.
The question of the coloured race to bantus has never been an issue during apartheid. Why is it an issue in the new dispensation? The bantu people know exactly they invaded South Africa. Currently different bantu tribes like Zimbabweans, Congolese Angolese, Nigerian, Malawians, Tanzanians, etc are invading South Africa once again. The white people racially classified coloured people to steal their land bantu people are doing the exact same thing. Bantu people should be honest to tell the truth. Dont live a lie. Once more they attacking the Western Cape in their strategy to conquer it. The quest to conquer Western Cape has been an old strategy of the ANC.
Coloureds have a very specific dialect when speaking Afrikaans & use many English words with she does not do. They also have a specific way of speaking English.
I am made up of ancient Bushmen and Egyptian blood. With a touch of dutch Viking temperament. And all these DNA ethnicities that flows through my veins, has formed a strong, resilient and intelligent Coloured woman. Don't tell me whom i should celebrate in my ancestral bloodlines. I am grateful to all my ancestors, from the Bushmen, to the Egyptian and my dutch ones.
Side note : all homo sapiens came out from what is now Africa. Majority of the people walking this Earth are homo sapiens (like 95% to 85% homo sapiens)
But if you think of it, SEEING COLOUR is the foundation of all these problems in the world, discrimination, racism and inequality. If we all looked at ourselves for what we are CHILDREN OF GOD and human species. We human are the only living species separating ourselves because of colour, birds don't do that, cats don't do that, cows don't do that I see brown, white, black cows in one kraal everyday here in SA, all other animals and living species don't do that except human beings. As a young black South African I can proudly say I'm one of the people who doesn't see colour in people. CONTINUEING SEEING COLOUR AND SEPARATING OURSELVES BECAUSE OF COLOUR IS GIVING A WIN TO THE DEVIL AND EVIL PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH WORDS LIKE RACE , THE MOST EVIL WORD EVER INVENTED IS RACE. THERE'S NO RACE OR COLOUR IN THE EYE OF GOD, WE'RE ALL ONE AND EQUAL. We can end racism and discrimination if the new generation change our mindsets. SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT THIS TOPIC TOUCHED ME 😅
We understand your perspective and agree on that context, but truthfully that is the same as me believing one day we will have world peace (wholly). Although I am an optimistic person who hope I will live to see that day, it is a slim chance that will happen in my lifetime. So, yes we see color because not seeing a person’s struggles due to the pigmentation of their skin leaves us blind to marginalizations and continued injustices. People can’t contribute to a change they can’t see. We didn’t start this fire.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT So we should not burn eternally from the fire we did not start. Instead start collecting wood united as the people around the world and start our own fire of prosperity as the current generation, by doing so world peace can be achieved by future generations maybe in the next 100 years or less and our generation would be remembered as the founding generation of world peace or one equal world. But instead all we're doing is being lazy, complaining and pointing fingers at each other. Just imagine we're struggling and fighting in 2023 because of system created by an idiot in the 1860/70s, doesn't that also make us look stupid? A white brother is busy saying I won't be held responsible for what my ancestors did, and A black brother is busy saying you wealthy because you stole from us, A mixed ethnic brother is being stereotyped, When are we going to stop all that stupidness for real?
Exclude us. We are far from lazy nor are we amongst those who cry silently in victimhood. We are doing the work needed to create change in our society. It is our duty to create change for the children we birthed in this world. You burn the fire by realizing there is a fire and gather wood with everyone involved, not just who it hurts. Turning a blind eye to it allows it to grow. “Seeing color” doesn’t mean to be separated. Wisdom is in experiences and knowledge based on facts. We wish you well, beloved.
Also, we all grow up different, some are more privileged but your path you take is still your choice. You can come from a less privileged home and still rise to the top. Thats the difference. You choose how you talk, how you walk etc
In South Africa what you have is a fairly unsophisticated population of many different cultures grappling with the issues of living in a multicultural and multiracial country. Most have good intentions, but have a difficulty to express themselves.
I am called Coloured but i dont like it. I am a South African i am black but the white government said i am colored and now the black governments calls me coloured
alot of my black friends tell me I don't look like a typical coloured or that I'm not coloured or that I'm just another black guy because I'm darkskin with coily afro hair and not lightskinned and wavy haired like coloureds are "supposed to be"
True. Especially in Cape Town the Coloured community is very very colorist. The closer to whyt you look the better. Its easier for darker guys than girl cause even darker guys discriminate against darker girls.
I was really touched by the young lady's story sharing her lived experiences. You know, as a white person, I am sort of shielded against racism, not saying racism directed against white people doesn't exist or anything, but yeah... I mean I've made friends with all kinds of people over the years and it really is still always heartbreaking to hear how just about any non-white or non-hetero typical people just gotta deal with the nastiness of discrimination. But yeah... also, yes apartheid was a whole nasty period in our history, but you know, the colored identity goes back a long way. Anyway thank you for sharing a very touching story. You know, Ubuntu says that my humanity only becomes fully realized through expressing or sharing our huminity toward other people, and as another commenter noted, it's this strength in diversity that really makes South Africa a very special place.
I see where's she's coming from and I understand it because I went through what she went through as a black person too but I fall on the opposite side of the spectrum on this topic to where I embrace and fully support where the people who are constantly asking her why she talks white.
I became aware of the discrimination faced by coloured individuals when I entered into a relationship with my fiancé, who identifies as coloured. An eye-opening aspect of his professional life is the manner in which he interacts with white customers over the phone. His phone conversations often lead these individuals to perceive him as a white Afrikaans-speaking individual until they meet him in person for meetings. At that point, their astonishment is palpable, as they express their initial assumption that he was white. Regrettably, this shift in perception subsequently influences their treatment of him due to his non-white racial identity. This phenomenon underscores the ongoing complexities of racial dynamics in South Africa.
Coloured people r different others r humble and others r swearing,fighting using knifes ,half bottle stab u as a black south african i grow up being afraid of them even when we chase each other by mistake I apologize very fast I was not told that what was happening
Black people in townships are too! In my town, the black township doesn't sleep, they drink the entire day, they wake up super early to start drinking and a lot of violence and the likes ensue - this is according to a black South African BOLT driver I used this one time when my car went in for repair.
There’s also the dark complexion coloured that are not excepted by the light complexion coloureds and talk about the 4c hair and the straight hair, I’m black and have 4c hair I had to date outside of the coloured community because I was not excepted, my mom is coloured and my dad black but we grew up as coloured was a very very difficult childhood but I’ve learned to except people who except me and the ones who don’t I leave in peace

But instead all we're doing is being lazy, complaining and pointing fingers at each other. Just imagine we're struggling and fighting in 2023 because of system created by an idiot in the 1860/70s, doesn't that also make us look stupid? A white brother is busy saying I won't be held responsible for what my ancestors did, and A black brother is busy saying you wealthy because you stole from us, A mixed ethnic brother is being stereotyped, When are we going to stop all that stupidness for real?
Exclude us. We are far from lazy nor are we amongst those who cry silently in victimhood. We are doing the work needed to create change in our society. It is our duty to create change for the children we birthed in this world.
You burn the fire by realizing there is a fire and gather wood with everyone involved, not just who it hurts. Turning a blind eye to it allows it to grow. “Seeing color” doesn’t mean to be separated. Wisdom is in experiences and knowledge based on facts. We wish you well, beloved.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Thank you, I love your reactions so much 💯 keep up the good work
Much love!
Also, we all grow up different, some are more privileged but your path you take is still your choice. You can come from a less privileged home and still rise to the top. Thats the difference. You choose how you talk, how you walk etc
Yes! Well said!
In South Africa what you have is a fairly unsophisticated population of many different cultures grappling with the issues of living in a multicultural and multiracial country. Most have good intentions, but have a difficulty to express themselves.
Coloured people? You're wrong. You're generalizing.
I am called Coloured but i dont like it. I am a South African i am black but the white government said i am colored and now the black governments calls me coloured
No they don't. Where? Which application form has the Race Options. None. Think about it. It's just an empty term. It holds no legal weight.
Who cares, they we were called colored...are you guys serious about this crap?
alot of my black friends tell me I don't look like a typical coloured or that I'm not coloured or that I'm just another black guy because I'm darkskin with coily afro hair and not lightskinned and wavy haired like coloureds are "supposed to be"
True. Especially in Cape Town the Coloured community is very very colorist. The closer to whyt you look the better. Its easier for darker guys than girl cause even darker guys discriminate against darker girls.
She even sounds more American than white South African
@@lesegogaebeeyn4005 .she's coloured not white south african
maybe you'll will understand if you hear how cape coloured speak afrikaans
I was really touched by the young lady's story sharing her lived experiences. You know, as a white person, I am sort of shielded against racism, not saying racism directed against white people doesn't exist or anything, but yeah... I mean I've made friends with all kinds of people over the years and it really is still always heartbreaking to hear how just about any non-white or non-hetero typical people just gotta deal with the nastiness of discrimination. But yeah... also, yes apartheid was a whole nasty period in our history, but you know, the colored identity goes back a long way. Anyway thank you for sharing a very touching story. You know, Ubuntu says that my humanity only becomes fully realized through expressing or sharing our huminity toward other people, and as another commenter noted, it's this strength in diversity that really makes South Africa a very special place.
What her family meant was that she speak NOT THE WORDS IN COLOURED DIALECT..... and that is disrespectful forhim as coloured
I see where's she's coming from and I understand it because I went through what she went through as a black person too but I fall on the opposite side of the spectrum on this topic to where I embrace and fully support where the people who are constantly asking her why she talks white.
I became aware of the discrimination faced by coloured individuals when I entered into a relationship with my fiancé, who identifies as coloured. An eye-opening aspect of his professional life is the manner in which he interacts with white customers over the phone. His phone conversations often lead these individuals to perceive him as a white Afrikaans-speaking individual until they meet him in person for meetings. At that point, their astonishment is palpable, as they express their initial assumption that he was white. Regrettably, this shift in perception subsequently influences their treatment of him due to his non-white racial identity. This phenomenon underscores the ongoing complexities of racial dynamics in South Africa.
The toughest thing in Africa is making sure u don’t utter a single English word when speaking to elders 😅
I have been waiting for y’all to react to this situation ❤
People willalways perceive you differently everywhere. One time i had to prove that i dont bleach my skin. Just keep on stepping
And we look like every single one of those races the world over.
My fam❤ I love your take on this propagadinast video!
Pq
Yes xam or khwe ppl
Dion's comment at the end is the bestest!
Coloured people r different others r humble and others r swearing,fighting using knifes ,half bottle stab u as a black south african i grow up being afraid of them even when we chase each other by mistake I apologize very fast I was not told that what was happening
Black people in townships are too! In my town, the black township doesn't sleep, they drink the entire day, they wake up super early to start drinking and a lot of violence and the likes ensue - this is according to a black South African BOLT driver I used this one time when my car went in for repair.
I don't understand why people speak such nonsense. It's the media. Must be.
17:30 gotta snowman something let it go thank you up champion lifestyle goodday australia
That’s not what I said. I’ll speak a little slower mate.😂
There’s also the dark complexion coloured that are not excepted by the light complexion coloureds and talk about the 4c hair and the straight hair, I’m black and have 4c hair I had to date outside of the coloured community because I was not excepted, my mom is coloured and my dad black but we grew up as coloured was a very very difficult childhood but I’ve learned to except people who except me and the ones who don’t I leave in peace
As you should, beautiful sister!
You are what you respond to. I have lived in almost every province in SA but felt more me in the UK 🙌🙌
