Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying our newest set on Africa. The next video will feature some of the same people and some new country representations. ☺️ By the way - there is also an option to turn on the CC for this video and get the subtitles.
Thank you for the subtitles!
Why for South Africa 🇿🇦 they brought 2 white people? I know South Africa is mixed between white and black , so they could have both one black and one white!!!
This video is so tone deaf! Two colonizers representing South Africa. They are not ethnically Sub Saharan African and they represent a nasty history that oppressed the people of that land.
Tiffany Smith I totally agree with you 💯💯 well said
@@tinaarabia825 Let's see if they did the same thing in the videos for European countries. Probably not! These people are not indigenous Sub Saharan Africans. They are Europeans who benefitted from colonization and Apartheid.
I feel like the black people used a lot of "we" language and the white people used a lot of "they" language
YES... very revealing isn't it...
You need to consider most of the stereotypes are partaining to what actually africans in South Africa do and not mostly to them. They should have had 1 white n 1 black person to Atleast share a fair share of experiences from either/or. Not every stereotype or myth is shared by everyone.
because white people migrated there and they're the minority...
I picked up on that too Rose- a bit "unfortunate"
They shouldn't have been apart of this video.
Weirdly the South Africans kept saying "they" until the Africans are black stereotype came up👀
Exactly.
@@aobakwemhele6613 They definitely invaded (this is taught in grade 6 history) and boer legit JUST means farmers. They didn't come as slaves. They came of their own free will and colonized. Stating facts isn't racist. Caping for white folks like this will backfire on you g.
@@aobakwemhele6613 so you choose to believe the people who were not here 600 years ago that bantu invaded southern africa how did they know that who told them that these people don't want give the land back so they're doing a thing that is called divide and conquer they say khoi are not black how is that even the bones that are discovered here in South Africa are not khoi bones which means bantu were always here so you should stop everything white men is saying
@@aobakwemhele6613 how did the bantu invade a county that didn't exist? There was no such thing as "south africa" and till white people arrived, where are you getting this so called history ?
@@aobakwemhele6613 next thing y'all will be saying black people oppressed themselves and wanted apartheid 🤦🏾♀️ I feel embarrassed for the ancestors that died at the hands of the people you defend fighting for you to sit on youtube and spead fake history
"You have a baby it's a celebration,the baby dies it's a celebration". 😂😂my God I just can't with this Nigerian girl she's such a mood.
Like babe
I swr we do parties from literally everything
Especially yoruba ppl

@@stellaokafor6120 taaaaah yorubas do more partying joor
@@winnermichael2757 whatever sinks your boat darling...lol
As a Westerner I can confirm I’ve never seen South Africans being represented by Black people....seems odd🤔
Wait until u come here at look at anything important 🙂
@@africanwarlord5877 lol anything important like your Apartheid legacy 🤮
I was actually offended by them white people. everything they said was offensive to a BLACK person listening
@anonymous opinions Bold of you to think Koisan people are not black 😂
@anonymous opinions Good point my good sir. Or by the original South Africans the legendary KHOISAN
Those white folks gave me a weird vibe.
Kev yeah they seemed condescending
@@sarahcarr7343 👍🏿 (&mo')
From the moment they opened their mouth I was rolling my eyes and I am from South Africa
Amen
The fact that the white South African guy said “the black plight” regarding hippies moving into huts “to be African” and his response to “Africans dance and celebrate everything” question was “THEY” shows that he doesn’t consider himself African. They’re just white people who happen to live in South Africa but they’re not African.
Why didn't you get Black South Africans to do this? All this "they" talk coming out their mouths is cringey and infuriating.
True, I feel misrepresented honestly 🤦🏽♀️
They are Africans so get a life
Yes and also they talk abt other people like if they are not part of this... It's just weird...
@@MrJoennachi lol no
Oh please not all South Africans are black. If you wanted black South Africans well then why didnt they take white nigerians I can ask you. Sick and tired of people making that Africa is all about the blacks. Oh and mind you I'm black.
Everybody: We
South African: They
If they don't consider themselves African what are they doing here
ikr
Yupe👍
@Oscar Bro if u are born and raised in Africa ur African I'm tired of this separation bullshit white,India or black if ur born and raised in south Africa ur South African simple as that
@@mlotshwa100The term "African" is primarily used as a racial category, not to denote continent of origin. If an African family moved to europe and have a child, their child would not become caucasian. White south africans are South African, that's their nationality. Saying that they are African is just weird.
@@mlotshwa100 society doesnt reflect that at all specialy in those communities
At this point I'm just going to conclude that all Nigerians are a vibe lol
Yes we are😂🇳🇬🇳🇬❤
True
As a South African I feel we needed to be represented by black people😞😔
I feel that no one can really represent YOU apart from YOU even if the people were black they could have been VERY CULTURALLY DIFFERENT from you. sa people come in many different spectrum also.
Period!!!
Exactly
Couldn't agree more. These white folks don't even consider themselves African. They're just living in Africa...
Henry Prince not really, SA black culture on the surface is very similar. But blacks, coloureds, Indians and whites differ so much that no one race could represent the whole country
The girls from Djibouti and Cameroon are gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you 😊
the senegalese girl bro was unbelieveable
Yes they are! : )
@Mø Nälayé she is Somali I think her name is Samira so 😂 I hope I'm right I can't tell cushites apart 😭
Thank you guys for picking those 2 to represent South Africa, they really gave us a snapshot of the disconnect between black and white South Africans and their general views about the rest of us.
I think that was the point, but most people commenting don't get it. You're a bit smarter aren't you.
Yeah that's true. It's quite telling. They sound like multi-generational expats.
Well there everyone but I think they have somewhat of right to be chosen as their ancestors have been there for over a century, and they have been born and raised in SA, and they most likely know what it’s like to live there since they’ve been born and raised there, maybe yeah, they’ve had privileges over the years, and MIGHT NOT know much about tribes in SA, BUT I don’t think it’s necessary to know everything (I mean obviously they must have at least some knowledge) but the video itself doesn’t really talk much knowing the entire history of SA itself since homosapiens times, it’s just a basic video talking about what’s its like living in Africa, and white SA have some knowledge of it since they have lived there, they might not be the best to be chosen but they have lived in the African continent
Just like people in the United States who are born and raised there, consider themselves Americans, no matter skin color
@@lepeangel3700 But the way they talk seems to indicate that they see themselves as separate.
Why are the South African people use "they" when they talk about their country South African?
as a South African, i am disappointed. they didnt represent us well
@@aitashekainga7606 true
Because they don't relate to the stereotypes that's why there should be black ones instead.
W H I T E
SA white ppl r just...yea🤦🏾♂️
When that South African guy said, They enter huts to get the "Black Experience" What the actual hell?!
🤣🤣🤣
Omg he really said that 🤭 Chile ☠️☠️☠️
That’s racist,most people who were born in it they don’t even realised it anymore.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😭

@@DatingBeyondBorders Use Black South Africans next time. We'll give you a true reflection and a true essence of being South African. PLEASE

Really enjoyed listening to you.
I’m American so I may know no better, but the representation of South African just didn’t seem right lol. He lost me at witch doctors.
I'd rather have an Africa American than them
Because truly they are not Africans.
l am South African as much y
you are American
@@zazaza903
From which tribe in South Afrịka please? I don't want to sound like a Racist but if you say you're a South African please behave and act like one.
@@anakorvinsmart7967 you think that if we are from somewhere else that we will not leave? Dude if l am from Europe we will already go to Europe.. We are here for centuries we not have another country.. You think this is a paradise so we not want to leave.. Every south african dream no matter of is it white black or coloured is to leave South Africa because SA is lost case and no one can fix it
Even without the name and country tag, I can spot a Nigerian. 🇳🇬
We're hyperactive. 😎
My blood pressure .. the two condescending South Africans commenting on African stereotypes while reinforcing African stereotypes 😑
South Africans keep saying “they” 🤔
They don't feel African...which is quite normal since they are not 😂
Most of them feel they are Foreigners.. that's why they sing and rap like Americans 😂😂
@@blackpearl2855 true though, I think this was sort of uncomfortable for them
South Africa has a history. The black and whites interracial community is awkward. It's either they use blacks or whites. All other Africans there are blacks. It's better to use white South Africans.
I also know the whites feel different in Africa and may feel not fully accepted as Africans so they use "They" to describe Africans. I wish the mistakes of the past can disappear but we need them unfortunately, so we don't repeat them.
@Shurkf De78rore nonsense, black people are jealous? Most black people adore white people in case you didn't know, others have woken up and realise that us black people have more to offer just like any other race
I had no problem with the south africans until they started saying "they" I mean come on you are there to represent Africa and you refer to us as "they" get outta here lmao. When black europeans represent Europe they usually refer to the european tradition and culture as theirs. Then when they were asked about Africans being black, no all of a sudden they are a part of us. Choose a side.
You need to understand the effects aphartied had on south Africa it made each of us develop our own cultures and ensured we view eachother as different
@@Rocky-rq6mb Then they shouldn't represent South Africa. Especially considering they're NOT indigineous to Africa and the fact that they make up 8% while Black South Africans make up 85%.
"When black europeans represent Europe they usually refer to the european tradition and culture as theirs"
ROFL. The most untrue thing I've read in my entire life. BTW Jeanne representing Cameroon in this video, also represents France in other videos, so please allow me to laugh at your comment.
""When black europeans represent Europe they usually refer to the european tradition and culture as theirs'' pretty sure not everyone lol.
Some do because they actually respect the country they live in but some others don't.
Alos stop using stuff like ''black'' europeans because thats just rude and disgusting just like saying ''white'' europeans.
Either say nigerian that represents the UK because there is no such thing as 1 european tradition and culture . THERE are European cultureS and traditionS.
You can't represent an entire continent, stop doing this illogical generalisation
@@slickrick2420 85% aren't black . Some are Zulu, some are Xhosa, somer are venda, some are swazi, some are tswana, some are ndebele and you still have other groups that i don't know of or heard of. They are considered ''black'' because of people like you that keep perpetuating this stupid racial shit with the terms like ''black'' and ''white''
If you keep doing this ''oh theyr black'' or ''they are white'' shit then you truly are lost in the sauce.
I felt on top of the world while they were rendering Nigerian anthem😭😭
I know we can come off as arrogant but Nigerians are proud of their country no matter how bad it gets...y'all should seriously stop hating😂😝☺️
We love you guys. You have golden hearts so little arrogance is nothing 😁

All the african women in this video are beautiful.
sebbspato2 or maybe I find them beautiful? Shocking right?
Sean I had zero plastic surgery
Sam AM I’ve seen a lot of women who have gotten nose jobs, and your nose looks a lot like theirs. But if I’m wrong I’m wrong-it doesn’t change the fact that you’re beautiful either way. My apologies if my comment offended you. You were great in the video! I like how you throw shade at Nigeria hahah
Sam AM even compared to Djibouti women, your nose is quite small. So don’t be too surprised if people think that haha, you basically naturally have many women’s ideal nose haha. Plus the fact that your makeup and eyebrows are all very done, it gives a bit of a “too perfect” look. It makes people suspicious.
Sean I saw a lot of stunningly beautiful women in this video there’s not just one type of nose that’s ideal or beautiful lol trust me it takes more than a nose for someone to look stunning and these women were gorgeous!
Nigeria is such a vibe jot...las las we rule the world😂😂
Yes with bubu as president.
@Lucy Wales hahahaha
Na so oo.. when they say nigeria men are bragging "I'm like we wear I'm with pride"
Am so proud to be Nigerian ...God bless my country 🇳🇬
As always. My parents were originally born in Nigeria since they were young.
Amen. Nigeria we move forward 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

The South African representation... couldn’t they find at least one black person?
Ehhhhh brahhh
Joy Masilela I couldn’t even finish the video, I was cringing throughout. We not respected.
Same I couldn't continue. I am so disappointed. They could have just left them out of the video.

You don’t have to be black to be African😑
Nigeria and Ghana don't even share a border, how did we get like this?😂
It's that black love. 😂😂😂
Music too played a role plus y'all love our jollof 😂😂.
Our boarders were created. Africa is Tribal first and foremost. We are the same people split across different countries, who have evolved with out new community, raised apart but still have the same drive and fighting spirit but that’s just my Nigerian opinion. I love my Ghanaian brothers and sisters but I’ll never willingly tell them that

the jollof rivalry we have that’s why lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we all know who gets the cake for that ooooooooo🇬🇭♥️

Jokes aside, I think most Nigerians will pick Ghana as their favourite African country after Nigeria but I dont think the reverse is the case.
Lmao the Nigerians are funny😂the lady from Cameroon looks like Tiffany Haddish. Where are my fellow Ghanaians?🇬🇭🇬🇭💃🏽
Here!!!
Tiffany Haddish is actually Ethiopian 🤗
@@joey.thanes uh no, she's Eritrean
The stereotype i hate as an African is "Omg your english is so good" / "Your french is so good"/ "Your Portuguese is so good".
"Where did you learn how to speak *in place language*?"....
are you really going to be asking that question...
Lol saddly many people don't pay attention to history or just ignore it otherwise they would know that people can speak portuguese in Angola for example and that the most francophone city in the world is Kinshasa lol
the only appropriate response is we learned it from the brutal colonization of europeans haha
The Nigerians have so much energy!!!
I would expect no less🇳🇬
💯
haha, indeed 🔥
When I saw the Stereotype bout African Men been showy, I immediately screamed Nigeria. I'm a proud Nigerian. God bless Africa as much as the World!!!

Did that "South African" man REALLY just refer to our traditional healers as "witch doctors". What in the... Wildly offensive.
The disrespect 😔
She was enforcing a stereotype! Very disrespectful of her😡
He did sis. *sighs* this was a big mistake by the producers of this show...
Yeah I didn't like that. He sounded very condescending. Worst part is most of western medicine is derived from indigenous herbs knowledge they just make a purified form of the isolated active chemical in the herbs and commercialize natural wisdom
1652s ALL UP in shit they have ZERO business talking about
The Senegalese woman is drop dead gorgeous, when she was talking about "Once you go black you never go back" GAWD DAMN

@@tyaler9805 😊😊
That white South African guy is either really racist or struggles with expressing himself, I kept side eye-ing the comments 😖
I was just about to post the exact same thing. He does NOT belong in this video.
I completely agree I was cringing every time he said something
@@christopherdieudonne why? Because he's white? Bruh one thing is saying they should've a black south african and another is saying someone doesn't belong there
Probably the later, you shouldn't suppose someone's racist that easily, you forget that people are just weird
As a colored South African I'm offended by the guy representing South Africa he knows absolutely nothing about his people the girl speaks of the country like she read it out of a magazine their answers is so rehearsed.... They know nothing about the country's culture and is extremely disappointing listening to them.
Man, those white South Africans..... No comment...
😂😂😂😂
stephanie aketch please comment. I have 🤦🏾♀️. I was sick to my stomach 🤢
I'm so damn disappointed NXA
only 14% of south africans are white... why people always bring them up
@@phillip9194 . And only 12.1 % of United States are black Americans, why do people always bring them up? I can understand why people would want to see only black people in a video about Africa since so many seem to believe that Africa is made up of only black people, and black people isn't often in videos but I still find it a bit disturbing and racist.
Lmao South African men are the farmer types, she’s talking about boers 😂😂 “THEY” they can’t know about traditional wear coz they have no traditions lol
That annoyed me so much!!! They have no clue and it's not even funny. They were asked about religion and spoke about utikoloshe, for crying out loud!
Lord these "South Africans" though.....As an American, I'm gonna defer to my African brothers and sisters for the final judgement on this one, BUT....this just really aint sitting right with me!!! I'm feeling every single "THEY" that's spoken by THEM and its grinding my damn gears!!! African Brethren help me out: should I be feeling like this?? Or am I just too much of a traumatized Black American who's projecting??
You not wrong I'm cringing every they say " they"
It's not sitting well with me
You are right! they are so detached seriously
I challenge you to find a video where south Africas not represented by this type of south African 🙂
Welcome to Africa where our minorities are only Africans when it benefits them.
That d white girl from South Africa keeps making these mistakes , Kenya is not North Africa
Relax, she meant like further up north from SA. Give her a break bambi. She tried. ☺️
I thought I was the only one who heard that.

We are here, we are just annoyed.
Bolivia Jeremiah don’t be naive my sister. We are black South Africans and are proud too!4483850064664978
@@mofeajegbomogun7016 let me see if I can explain well. See I'm Nigerian and I dont ever hear terms like black Nigerians or black ghanaians etc cause when you say Nigeria, you are talking about the black people. So, black south Africans should be referred only as south Africans cause they are the owners of the land. While the pales should be referred to as white south Africans cause they are immigrants. I mean, you have a yoruba name and I'm pretty sure you haven't heard black Nigerians and shit like that. Hope you get.
African accents are my favourites. They’re so expressive yet so soothing to listen to.
i liked the senegalese girl's accent the most!! she was so pretty too
I was born in africa raised in africa and still lives in africa yet i have a black american accent
¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Top 39/40 comments "South Africa" 😂
Because its tragic what happened there
Kinda wish there were black or coloured south Africans as well as whites, just so we got an indigenous side of the story as well and there was more "we" descriptions and less "they"
They are monstruously racist too, as they show. South Africa needs to be decolonised.
Rea Selepe exactly what I had hoped for.
No whites for me cause that’s not their mothers land periodt
@Blabla Blabla Not exactly. You also have indian ascendants (debatable of course, but technically they could enter that defiition)since it is the term comming from Apartheid. But in the US or Canada (where I hope you know the system is the most racist, so much so that Afrikaaners who came there to learn how to implement a racist system, ended making a "less" racist system, therefore the "coloured" class. In the US some who must be 3/10 black are considered as black, with the consequences we know on their everyday life. If you don't check out the recent BLM movement among other things), you might use "mixed". But you might be mixed Zulu/Xhosa, you would not be considered coloured. And a coloured person might not be mixed, both his parents and from generations are officially "coloured".
There was a video where Trevor Noah talks about tha subject and I just found it back: ua-cam.com/video/kMFC0Rh9aDY/v-deo.html
@Blabla Blabla yeah (& I think brown)
"Except if you're white, they'll kidnap you" HAHA that cracked me up
that nigerian lady is the best part about these videos
Yeah she rlly got me
She had me screaming then dying 😭😭😭🤣
that was my fav part of the video
The South African representation is the most colonizing disrespect I can imagine 🤣
really love Nigerians they are just so chill towards each other they are like you can find everything in Nigeria and its true love from Pakistan ❤

I'm not South African but I'm from the Southern region (which is the whitest part of Africa) Zambia to be precise and I apologise for these white South Africans😑. Minority Africans are so out of touch with the African experience because they choose to segregate themselves & live far away from us majority "average blacks", they only mix with the "bougie, hyper Western" blacks. A lot of them feel so superior to us it's just disappointing. Their children too feel superior cause they've been trained to stay away from blacks.
Ain’t this just sad, that even in a place that is majority “black” they still find a way to bring back the racist segregation tendencies? Pathetic
For me it’s saddening that they live in a country yet remain so distant from embracing the culture and history of the country, especially the indigenous culture as well as its modern day version, and sadly that distancing causes so much of a divide in this country because there is no unity in diversity
They are not Afrikans and should be deported.
I apologise. Of course many are like this, but not all. It is terrible dealing with these who are not truly south african
Man, I'm Zambian too, and the white neighbourhoods here are isolated as fuck. I've never interacted with a person who is not my race, its a shame really.
As a South African, I am EXTREMELY disappointed in these 2 "South Africans" in this video
I would have been fine with it depending on the conversation.
The stereotype was Africans are black and they're like were not and were African... maybe Nationally but not native. So it is fair for people to assume the majority will be black, since virtually all native Africans are black (with the exception of a few North African countries.)
I was born in and live in Australia which predominantly has people of European descent. If someone said Australia is white I would say yes. You would logically make a judgment based on the majority which is white because, you know history. 😂😂
Some of the people who are fairer (Mixed) is because of the history of slavery that East Africans had suffered by Arab people (East African Slave Trade) or West Africans by Europeans (Transatlantic slave trade), or colonization we weren't always so mixed. It's positive and beautiful to now see such diversity and various shades of blackness, despite having come out of such negative circumstances.
My family are immigrants on both sides, so it's factual to say that is a white country, because it is predominantly. Of course that doesn't mean all are white, but most. Australia is a multicultural country too that welcomes people of other nationalities, colours and religions but it still is majority white.
There is diversity to a certain extent between the like 25/30% that are people of colour and Australia welcomes multiculturalism but... White (European) people have been here since 1788 and my family between 1970 and 2000's 😂😂
So like obviously the majority will be white. That's like common sense.
And a judgment like that Africa is black, isn't based on the minority in the continent who is white or Arab, but the majority who is black.
😂😂😂🤣🤣
That's just my opinion.
Why?
@@Anastazka00 They did not have the basic knowledge of South Africa, and they kept of using pronouns to exclude themselves from the context of South Africa, but that misconception of "Africans are black", they were quick to use words like, "WE".

@@kamogelodk6907 Thanks. Just to be fair, they weren't the only ones using "they" at times. They were supposed to talk about large amount of ppl, that might be the reason.

The "White" guy from South Africa literally said "Africa er still a complicated and sad place at times, so they sing and dance through it", saying he is not African. Wondering why he is there?
They wanted to show diversity but it backfired.
How did South Africa end up being represented by white people who as a people are embarrassed to be African. I am so disappointed at this channel for this insult. I am nor racist at all, but I don't think we were fairly represented by your panel. I am shocked at their VERY POOR REPRESENTATION.
I feel insulted too. I feel like they done this deliberately
My thoughts exactly! They have embarrassed us to kingdom come!
Yeah, they are colons. Mind you, actual Americans (here it's shot in Canada) are not whites either. The colon biais shows.
@The505Guys Lol please, you all play the colorblind when it suits you. So Apartheid was based on random colour of people? The colonisation of the Netherlands in South Africa was random? The whole creation in the first place of "coloured" people was based on love relationships, not rape (as it systematiclly is with invasions and war)?
Are these people integrated? Do they speak fluently an African language (apart from some words they might have learnt from their domestics)? And oh please, Afrikaans is basically Dutch with a drunken accent. And both that language and English are Indo-European languages, specifically Germanic. Not Nigero-Congolese II nor Khoisan, not local with thousands of years of existence and evolution on those lands (especially since Khoisans are the evolution of our race to all, and it's mesmerizing, and at least languages that have "clicks" in South Africa have at least some Khoisan languages vocabulary).
Does South Africa not have a huge problem of land ownership mathematically perfectly related to skin colour?
Who is racist? Racism upholds the notion of systematic oppression.
And as already said here and loads of other comments, they use the "they" and the "us" perfectly, so they are well-aware of it.
As a European, we always consider euro-colons really ignorant and vulgar (as they are, it's not random to be a colon anywhere. Those are not random indigenous Europeans, it has to do with the military and theft of ressources and land). But if they want to stay, it is our responsibility to denounce the neo-colonization and neo-apartheid when we see it. They are participating in shaming us.
I would love to know about actual South African cultures, the local foods, the cosmovisions, the languages, how they tease each others and reputations between languages and so on. The colonial european one has no interest. And it's not "neutral" in any way.
If you are South African, start learning one of the many South African languages there are instead of German.
@The505Guys Read me again, don't be lazy
yo, I love the energy Nigerian girl has, she make me laugh through the whole video. - Somalia
They need to get off Nigeria's back bc just because we're proud or our country doesn't mean we're bragging. And literally no body is stopping u from being just as proud as we are
Nobody throws stones at fruitless tree... remember that tuface song " if nobody talk about u, then u are nobody " being great comes with lots of hates
Oh I understand you but it's more of bragging than being proud of yourselves.

@@tejiriblessing6013 why, what have we done to you? Nobody's doing nothing girl. And one thing about you guys too is you hate to accept facts about you which are negative to help you work on yourself which is very bad. Nigerians think they're ALWAYS right which sucks.
@@TheAdwoaa yes we are always right! Go n hug transformer
Had to skip the European "South Africans" ever time they came up. So cringeworthy and disappointing.
They are not real africans
Uncomfortable to watch
It’s weird! Why would they even accept to represent South Africa. So cringing
Whites existing in Cape Town area from the time when Americas not even discovered.. even before Zulus comes to KwaZulu natal.. we are more african than some of you.. but we are white so u excluding us.. you are just another racist..
@@zazaza903 well actually Americas was long discovered by that time
As a South African, I feel misrepresented and disrespected.
Yebo. Me too at least put White lady and black man. Not two white people. I'm not racist but No.
Am Nigerian buh those two pple where really misrepresenting SA
@@afrobeatsislife1677 Bruhhh.. I'm Nigerian also and I was just pissed the whole time.. let's just say it as it is, they should have brought black or at least 1 black person from SA..🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@Michelle-fz4px yes they where practically speaking I'll abt there country
@@afrobeatsislife1677 Yeah
Y’all what’s up with the ‘they’ referencing with the South Africans👀 aren’t they from there so it should be ‘we’. And Maasai are in East Africa, she said North Africa
They are americanised the guy dont even have his accent anymore
one of my friends is south african and she speaks in third person, i think it’s something to do with afrikaans translation
its probably bc africans tell them that they aren't part of them, so they feel the need to differentiate themselves.
@@AspireGMD Oh please! Then why did they come on this insert and rattle their ignorance if that's the case??
@@AspireGMD Africans will never do that, we welcome all people, don’t bring ur own racial bias here
I had no idea how African I was till recently through DNA, and I found out. It amazes me how utterly Nigerian I am. I'm also very west African and Congolese, but watching this reminds me of how African I am.
Who in the world thought it would be a great idea of using two white South Africans 🤯To make is worse they are extremely ignorant of their own country, let's not go into Kenya being in North Africa or not addressing the inequality within South Africa.....I was cringing the entire time whenever they came up🤦
Who said Kenya is in North Africa?! I missed that...
Lol it's not even their country. They're only colonialists who wanted to kick real south African out of their own country...
They knew what they were doing, they wanted the views and comments.
I'm Kenyan and was like whaaat! I din't know we moved to North Africa!
@@ThePltsweet 😂😂😂
If someone is South African for real why would they need to refer to South Africans as 'They' and not 'We'. Also the lack of representation and ignorant comments from the South Africans...extremely PROBLEMATIC!! TO SAY THE LEAST!
Hello, I would like to share with you my wonderful trip to Zimbabwe that I took with my wife: ua-cam.com/video/E1XNeg-7aYI/v-deo.html
That girl Amy from Senegal is sooo Beautiful!!...I cant even..with that long neck,those lips and that skin color glowing.She is a master piece..This coming from a fellow African woman.
African women raise each other up ✊🏾❤️
Not even surprised she said Kenya is in North Africa💁I mean she doesn't know anything about her own country🇿🇦😭
As a Kenyan 😂just looked at her hoping she’s gonna correct her self
Right, because she didn't say that's "sort of" North Africa, which obviously implies that it's north relatively to South Africa. But sure, be biased...
@@MankindDiary Kenya is not in North African period .
@@aaliyahali5348 Another one that doesn't understand what "sort of" means.
@@MankindDiary what’s wrong with just saying east Africa lol
I don’t something about the white South Africans answers didn’t sit right with me. They had offensive translations of black South Africans traditions. They could have talked about their Dutch traditions in SA. They were answering from perspectives they can never understand.
why are they even there? I don't understand.
I'm Nigerian but I'm offended by the white south African.... Oh Gosh plssss
of course we are offended because Africa is our whole family😎😘🙌🙌🙌
White south Africans have their own culture and cuzvof apartheid they were never exposed to the rest of the country so they're notoriously ignorant which makes the fact that they keep ending up representing the whole country extremely annoying it's exactly why I disliked this video before they even started talking 🤦🏾♂️
I understand but I don't think that they have done it in bad faith; nonetheless the producers shold have picked up like one black south african, one coloured and one afrikaner, to better represent the country
@Al Smith Africans they always Africans no matter were they go unlike South African whites,
@Al Smith Loooool you think africans are calling themselves europeans? Get a grip
Part 2 pls😂....this was too funny and educative
Why I love Nigerians is because of their positive vibe towards life irrespective of the bad government, they are complete in all aspect of life, they can survive anyway
I love all African countries but at this point I think I should minus South Africa
Some people don't really understand how big Africa is, and when they do, refuse to accept it. Africans have very beautiful housing, much finer and most times less expensive than abroad. Unlike how debt racks up there, most systems are pay as you go. All cultures are so rich too. Communitiy and love. Funerals aren't seen as weeping, but thanking and celebrating their life. My parents are always saying they can't wait for us to leave their house so they can go back home 😂
I ONLY SEE FACTS
yep. for example my mom rents out houses, modern houses, the smaller ones have 3 bedrooms, tiled, a glass war separating the living room from the hallway, a large kitchen etc at 250USD per month. My American friend found it really weird that such a house could be rented out for an amount like that.
In South Africa, in some cultures (like my own-Xhosa) huts exist and are a cultural reference-it has nothing to do with poverty, it's an architectural preference that has existed since my ancestors time. If you drive through the homelands in the Eastern Cape, you'll see them.
This was really amazing to watch. Seeing African countries coming together to just discuss and exchange thoughts is phenomenal. Definitely worth watching 💯💯💯
Yho yho those South Africans 😭😭😭! I’m speechless honestly
As a South African I really wish you had gotten black South Africans or just left South Africa out . The talk about spirituality and religion was weird , its way deeper than otokoloshe and witchdoctors . They just really didnt represent SA well
Word !! They should have just left us out those are not South Africans there we don’t know them
that south african guy kept referring to Africans as "they" instead of '"we". which is why everyone is always complaining about the south african representation in these videos
Yh we speak hundreds of languages... In Nigeria alone 🤣🤣
Then our ancestors were definitely from Nigeria... 👋🏾🇹🇹💃 We love to party/ lime in Trinidad and Tobago ‼️🥳
Was trying not to let it bother me... the white South Africans. But the "they" reference 🙄👎🏽. They don't feel like Africans... do they?
This is on point the Nigerian guy James is my guy and I'm Trinidadian and we gel effortlessly. Many beliefs we have he has as well, very very similar get you a Nigerian guy specifically Youruba you will see how similar we are.
@RO Dizzle patios yesssss I know what you're talking about. But it faded with our generation but when my grandmother was alive, ohh boy I heard it all the time. Yes I would love to visit Brazil, Colombia and you said Cuba (really ehh), ok gotta add that to my list. Man you all are good people the energy the vibe, our shared belief and values hmmmm, God does really know what he is doing, it's like a light switch just clicked and it all made sense when we started dating.
When the Nigerians stood up for the anthem!!!🥺🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I stan!!!
Yaaaasssss 🙇🏾♀️
@@abiyeikpaki Hello, I would like to share with you my wonderful trip to Zimbabwe that I took with my wife: ua-cam.com/video/E1XNeg-7aYI/v-deo.html
What they were saying about Nigerian men definitely lined up with the “You Know You’re Dating...” video!
And...my online experience (Russia vs Nigeria)
yes!!! we are waiting!!
Next time I would like to see more of East African representation (Somali/Ethiopia/kenya/uganda/Rwanda/brundi/Tanzania) and I’m not actually happy with South Africa being represented by white people, it should be black or at least one black person !
GOD BLESS AFRICA !
I'm not South African but I'm Namibian. I don't look African, in fact I'm light skinned. But I am African nonetheless. I speak an African language as my native language (Afrikaans) and I was born in Namibia. But would I not be allowed to represent my country either?
@@JF-wp2rz "I don't look african" 💀wtf does that mean ?! africa is a continent with over 54 countries, like do you think ethiopians, libyans, angolans and nigerians look the same ? nobody's gonna stop you from representing your country unless you talk about african people by saying "they" like they did in the video. If don't identify as african, of course you ain't gonna represent your country. Moreover there are two definitions of being "african" : living on the continent of africa doesn't necessarly mean having any african culture or mindset
The Nigerian tomboy is Hella bubbly adorable!
Let me just say this I am JAMAICAN and i can tell you the persons representing South Africa in this video was making my spirit boil ESPECIALLY THE MAN
That's because they arent representing us well. South Africans are not the way they have been portraying us.
How can you not boil when they had a lot of bad shit to say about us. I mean they just had to choose them white people didn't they? This made me angry am not gonna lie and the level of offensiveness was high I can tell you that.

“Africans are black”
South Africa: “Hiii”

I volunteer as tribute for the next video you make. South Africa needs a proper representation.🧘🏾♀️
There responses were accurate though.
Disappointed in the representation of South Africa. The people speaking for South Africa seem to not truly understand South African culture. They kept on referring to Africans as “they”. Which tell you everything. They are White South Africans for sure, not African. Only a ‘Black’ South African is African - at least in South Africa. White South Africans are just that. White South Africans. Either way we still welcome them when they want to learn about our culture( being so many).
That's so sad and therefore these South Africans issues towards race shows the ramification of apartheid i'm so sorry for that because as a Senegalese i can't relate to that thus i really want to know if you allow me to ask some sensible question like how you consider your fellow white South African people and how do they consider you as a Black south African people and overall what defines more a South African your complexion your culture your descents or maybe all of that at the same time.
Sorry again my question comes from a Senegalese point of view cause as far as i know in Senegal white french governer and french aristocrats used to marry Senegalese aristocrats from the Serer and jolof ethny.
Because of that my white Senegalese people lose their whitness over time by mixing themselves with the prior inhabitants of Senegal. Then if you are a white Senegalese which is very very rare Senegalese usually will not view you at first sight as a Senegalese not mostly for your complexion but for your culture and your ability to speak a proper jolof.
Thus your "Senegalness" per say is more related to your ability to speak a proper jolof and the fact that you embodied the senegalese culture and because of that most of my Senegalese friend consider my white friend Victor more Senegalese than me even though i'm black cause my jolof terrible.
Most white people in South Africa don't consider themselves African (and aren't considered truly African by most). They will say they live in Africa or call themselves 'South Africans' but not really identify with all what it means to be African (i.e. African culture). For a country that's more than 80% black you'd think they'd have black South Africans up there representing.
@@tamiechimwendo7817 I get what you mean just like Senegal it's about cultures not complexion and it's truly mature and understandtable though i would have considered them the same way because culturally speaking they're not very South African moreover they don't even consider themselves South African or try appropriate the culture of they're own country of birth.
Thank you for your sincerity kind regards.
You have to love my fellow Nigerians. Even in a foreign land they still stood up for the National anthem. God in your mercy bless Nigerians with a good leader.
Jesus Christ is the Leader of the whole of Africa. Love u Nigerians. From SA.
Amen oo bro
I like how the two South Africa people says “they” and not “we” cuz they know what we know. Respect
Okay please stop putting these white "south african people" you said Africans abeg put the original ones. I'm tired of hearing "they". I take God beg you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you must be Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
they probably get told a lot that their not true africans, so they feel like africans don't want them to identify as one.
