During apartheid, the Coloured community in South Africa was used as a strategic "buffer" group between whites and blacks, and they were granted more rights and privileges than black South Africans.
I believe people in my community feel disrespected, and that's why the racial questions persist. I don't think it's about forcing Tyla to identify as Black. I think people are turned off by the fact that we are being asked to support a person who belongs to a group that benefitted from the oppression of other Black people because we're still fighting for our rights in this country.

I'm confused. What does Tyla have to do with apartheid? She was born after apartheid ended.
Saying that Coloured people aided in the oppression of black south Africans during apartheid is just plain wrong. Everyone was put into these categories outside of their will during that time. The only people to blame is the people who perpetuated apartheid in the government. People of all races fought against apartheid: white, black, Coloured and Indian. Blaming the entire coloured community for something that was completely out of their control is just plain ignorant.
This channel seems to have a vendetta against Tyla and comes up with the most random points to not support her.
THE CRITIQUE OF TYLA PANDERING TO A BLACK AMERICAN AUDIENCE:
I wholly disagree with this statement.
Here are more specific critiques.
Critique: "Tyla only markets herself to Black Americans."
On Tyla's music channel, there are shorts where she has been performing in Africa. She was also an opening act for Chris Brown's Under the influence European tour. She also performed on the Bianca show which is also in Europe. Then when Water blew up, she came and performed in the US.
Tyla had a meet and greet in the UK and a meet and greet in South Africa, Johannesburg.
Tyla is aiming for International stardom. She said herself she wants to become the biggest popstar ever.
Tyla is also inspired by alot of Black American artists especially artists from the 90s and 2000s.
In her interview with Hollywood Zay she said this," I feel like Hip Hop and RnB is a big part of my culture back home as well. (Because, I mean, in South Africa, my race is called coloured, which is a very stressful term to use in America because it's a derogatory term. But I mean that is what we are called in South Africa.) A huge part of our culture is HipHop and RnB. I grew up around it. I mean my parents, that was our wake up call, RnB and HipHop would blast in the house."
Critique:" Tyla appropriates black hairstyles."
In South Africa both coloured and black people wear afros, braids, cornrows, etc. Because alot of coloured people also have textured hair.
I do understand that cultural appropriation is a big issue in the US so I understand why some would be weary. But I believe that cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation are often confused.
But cultural appropriation is not as common in South Africa from what I've seen. In South Africa we share our cultures with one another because we appreciate the diversity in our country.
Tyla as a person screams South African and screams coloured. Her accent, her mannerisms, her verbiage, her music and her dancing.
I feel like people are very jealous of her talent and beauty and are just looking for ways to cancel her.
This whole discourse about her race is unnecessary at this point. It's just a difference in history and verbiage. It was completely blown out of proportion.
As a Coloured person myself, I'm very passionate about this topic. Coloured people are underrepresented. There are alot of negative stereotypes associated with us and alot of issues in our community.
I think Tyla is a positive example for our race and I'm extremely proud of her. It was very disheartening to see the hate that she was receiving simply for being her race.
If read this movie long explanation, thank you so much😊❤️.
This fake oustrage is fuel by xenophobia, anti afticanest
They’ve been hating Tyla since the Grammy, way before this interview.
Most of them are just insecure, they hate Tyla because she is pretty and they wish they looked like her.
A lot of black women don’t want to admit it but they hate on any mixed woman who is pretty because they wished to look like them, that’s why a lot of people hate on Beyoncé, they don’t even know why they hate Beyoncé.
Tyla is not taking any opportunity from dark skin women, she gets the same opportunity as women like Arya Star, Shensea (who is light skin too)
And women in America like Chloe Bailey and Normani that the black community purposely choose not to support.
They don't like her because of people like you with your ignorant mindsets opening your mouths lol
If south Africans kept their mouths shut, instead of saying ignorant things like you, they'd feel more comfortable supporting a South African.
Your own mentality and the shit you all say online is why they don't want to support someone from your country, because of your mindset.
All true sister. ❤
