    Let's give their right or choice of being coloured etc because we know being coloured meant something in the past eg the Apartheid State spent 3× more on a colored chil than a black child, 5× more on an indian child than a black child and 8-10× more on a white child than a black child, that's the context we come from but am challenging anyone including the two guests if coloured South Africans are marginalised let's go to the reports of StatsSA to see what the numbers say. Then we can talk. But these two guests am not sure how they were chosen may be coloured people have indeed something to moan about but the Tri-cameral System is gone and not coming back.

    Indians are them, Coloureds are them, Whites are them and Blakcs are them. There's no twisting and turning about these identities unless one want to hide something like a company would have coloured and indian people and would say their board is black that's the political rubbish I can't buy.
