    I'm coloured South African now living in England and I don't think anyone had ever guessed correctly that I'm South African, I very often get asked if Mexican or Philippino. I've been asked if I was Chinese Jamaican mix. Also another interesting fact about us is our "mixing" happened several generations ago, by this I mean, here in the UK mixed people often mostly have 1 black and 1 white parent. Whereas, my parents are both coloured and so we're their parents and theirs the actual mixing happened several generations back. So I have on my father's side some Indian heritage with some European and native South African Khoisan, and my mother's side is Native Khoisan and European, German/British...

      You are indeed a true South African! Your advantage is that in South Africa, no one can put you in a box😉 My best friend has also coloured, but parents and grandparents, were Zulu, Jewish( Goldstein) and coloured that might also brings up an interessting combination of ethnic groups. I always say that mixed race people are indeed the true South Africans. because it shows that there were true integration that took place generations ago. You can imagine as a white person, I am not very popular for my take on our racial tentions and Apartheid could have never happended🙂 Look at Brazel and the races are very much integrated and when you live there you are a Brazilian and no reference to our skin color. I have many coloured friends, speaking afrikaans and English. I just love them soo much as there is soo much they contributed and still are to our country. Fact is that they are still getting the same raw deal under ANC as what they did under apartheid.🥲 Time to come back to sunny SA. Too cold in Eng and too many up stiffer lips for my liking😂

    Fun fact, Cape Malays have always been grouped and classified as coloured (not Asian) we speak Kaaps, no our language i.e. Kaaps is not "all but completely dissappeared" it's very much alive and spoken widely by the creole/mixed/coloured group at the Cape. It's closer to the original Dutch (from the earliest colonial times in the 1600-1700's) mixed with Arabic; Malay/Indonesian; Khoekoen/Khoisan & other Nguni languages. No coloured people do not feel "left out" or as of they "don't fit in" anywhere, not sure where they get their "facts" as these might be sentiments of a few but definitely an overwhelming sentiment. Also, we do have our own cultural, traditional, cuisine and language. Most prominent religions are Christianity and Islam. A very inclusive people group who is unfortunately still plagued and mostly marginalized by the history of Colonial settlement, slavery, Apartheid and poor current governance and the social ills these have caused.

      khoisan is a word invented in the 1920s by Leonhard Schultze.
      There was never historically such a singular group.
      It only makes sense as a linguistic abstraction for a academic historical moribund framework.
      It is meaningless, because the hunter-gatherers and agro-pastoralists were already blended by the time the Europeans arrived.
      The heritage of those very people are the nations that arose during colonialism in the native reserves e.g Xhosa.
      This is precisely where the video was wrong & ahistorical: these are NOT two separate distinct groups, but descendants who formed the modern cultures like Xhosa, Tswana etc which are based on a nucleus of past chiefdoms/houses absorbing hundreds of clans in resistance to colonialism.

If you don't want to be black then don't claim khoi/san heritage because they are most definitely black. You will not get an ounce of sympathy when we are on the bottom of the hierarchy of South Africa. As a mixed person, you are closer to European features and treated so much better. One poor disabled boy was murdered by a cop and the whole country grinded to a halt. We get murdered by cops every day and nothing is done about it. A 3 year old was shot multiple times and murdered during the Phoenix massacre a few weeks ago and nothing. So we don't care anymore if black lives don't matter in Africa then we will stop caring.

I am not condoning any of the deaths but all these deaths could have been avoided if the phoenix protesting never took place in the first place. May all those who died during the phoenix massacre rest in peace. My deepest sympathies to all the families who lost their loved ones that day.

      @@WarNeverChanges9191 she was not in a protest. She was in an uber going home after being discharged from Mahatma Gandhi hospital. She had nothing to do with any protest. She was a mother taking her child home and the poor uber driver was just doing his job but happened to be the wrong race so was beaten to death before they shot the mother and child. Now tell me what that has to do with a protest

    My own opinion. I think Apartheid was not a good thing by some of its rules but South Africa was better at that time for example - in Apartheid we had a good army, we had good defense forces and police, and security, everyone was respectful, we had clean streets with no rubbish, there was no looting that much, our currency was stronger than ever before against any currency.

      @@15209091 it's the truth. If only all the benefits mentioned was not in Apartheid. I hate politics and I hated Apartheid, but I also hate corruption and theft from local Municipalities and the Government that pocket the money meant for Eskom! There, now I feel better... Let's just NOT talk about politics, it's useless to argue.
