Hi if you are visiting Durban in South Africa you have to visit Florida Road we have the best the best restaurants and eat outs with mixed culture's

Colored people absolutely have their own culture that they created.

Coloured person here🙋🏽‍♂️ Some Cultural and ethnical differences between Coloured and Black people. *Note, Coloured people are not primarily just people with a black and white parent. We have deep generational mixing, going 3rd, 4th 5th down in our generation. And our distined culture also separates us from black and white South Africans. Henceforth, a person like Trevor Noah with a black and white parent can't be considered Coloured, as Xhosa is his culture. Differences : - Ethnically, black people have African ancestry. - Coloured people have African, European and Asian ancestry. - Black people primarily speak African languages. - Coloured people primarily speak English and Afrikaans. - Black people have an African and Western diet. - Coloured people have a Eastern and Western diet. - Black people have African traditions (Labola, ritual sacrifices ect) - Coloured people have Christian and Islamic traditions. - Black people are Black. - Coloured people come in all different shapes and sizes and skin colors. - Black people consider themselves purely African. - Coloureds consider themselves as children of the world. Althou we share many differences, majority Blacks and Coloureds accept our differences and rejoice our oneness of being South African. We may be different, but we are equals.

khoe-san was not a culture. It's a clumsy European way of life catch-all descriptor for AFRICAN pastoralists (khoe) and AFRICAN hunter-gatherers/foragers (San), or alternatively for a largely moribund "latin" linguistic classification. The houses/chiefdoms that rose to encompass the modern living cultures that form the extant nations of today (Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, etc) formed out of these agro-pastoralists, pastoralists & hunter-gatherers. I'm all for including Coloured but this bizarre trend of mixed race Asian-Caucasian-African people using the ancestry of the above mentioned natives as an ahistoric, pretend exclusive "cultural identity" is simply daft. No actual organic indigenous culture uses a European-created abstraction as a culture. There was no such organic historic culture. Incidentally it is the Cape Xhosa, an actual organic native culture, that formed a modern nation in the native reserve of the Cape Colony that is continuous, organic & practices millennia old Khoi practice like "Ingqithi".

This was before our official independence in 1962 and we be vocal in the UN efforts to end apartheid. Our music also reflected the struggles of Africa at the time via Bob Marley, songs like "Africa Unite". We still have strong ties with South Africa today.

The Khoisan /Bushman are the original inhabitants of South Africa ...they would kind of be classified as coloured as well because of how they look

The Dutch were not the first Europeans in the Cape, that's what they are taught in their history books. The first Europeans in Cape were the Portuguese, and they used to trade well with the Khoisan and Xhosa people for decades. This is well documented in Portuguese shipping manifests from that time period. There is also evidence of Chinesse and Arabs visiting the Cape, long before the Dutch. The Dutch narrative is popular because they brought violence, oppression and subjugated people. The Dutch East India Company was the largest enterprise on earth, with a navy larger than any nation.

Coloured people definitely have their own cultural traditions that can differ from region to region, and community to community reflecting different aspects of our heritage from before and under colonisation. For instance, in this video they group Cape Malay with "Asian" (like Indian South Africans and Chinese South Africans), but that's actually a Coloured subculture based on the community being Muslim. It's important to note that Coloured identities grew not simply out of "white and black mixing", but specifically from the history of slavery and genocide in the Cape Colony. The Dutch settlers/Boers brought people from all over especially East Africa, India, Madagascar and Indonesia to work as slaves on wheat and wine farms, in the Dutch fort and do all sorts of domestic and craft work in the Cape Town. The different African and Asian slaves mixed with the Khoekhoe whose lands and cattle were taken by the Boers to form new cultures that we now group together as "Coloured", with specific communities also going by other identities too, like the Griqua clans and the Cape Malays. There's traditional dances among rural Coloured communities that are a mix of Khoe and European styles. There's musical instruments like the ghoema drum played at the Second New Year's Carnival which has East African origins and the ramkie (kinda like a little guitar) with South Indian origins. We have dishes like bobotie, koesiestes (very different to the white Afrikaner koeksisters they showed here) and waterblommetjie bredie which reflect the influences of our Indigenous African, Asian and European ancestries. And there's the Afrikaans language which developed out of slaves and Khoekhoe having to speak Dutch to each other and slave masters. It wouldn't usually be expected for a Coloured South African to know or take part in e.g. Xhosa traditional practices unless they have that specific family connection as many Coloured people in the Eastern Cape province do. Otherwise, Coloured refers to creole cultures of the descendants of slaves and landless Khoekhoe forced work on Boer farms.

South Africa is about double the size of Texas. Algeria is the largest country on the continent, South Africa is only 9th largest. The reason Xhosa has so many click sounds is because of the inter mindling and trading between the two peoples. They would even intermarry. Coloured people are mixed race people who continue to mix with other mix race people. In fact, South African coloured people are the most mixed people on the world. Fun facts: South Africa has more Sotho speakers than Lesotho, more Tswana speakers than Botswana and more Swati speakers than Swaziland (now eSwatini). We also have the repeat visitors.

Even though we refer to coloureds as mix, it's not the same as biracial. One or both parents must be coloured to be coloured. It is a race. Trevor Noah is mixed but not coloured, he is biracial.

Hi guys, just to make a small thing known. Coloureds like me are actually not known by being mixed race, but we are the Khoisan people rebranded by the Apartheid govt.

From the late 1800's and about 5 decades later, indentured laborers from India were brought to South Africa by the British to work in farms and plantations and mines. It's often overlooked history, but Kwa-Zulu Natal has the largest Indian population outside of India itself.

One thing I've noticed is that coloured is not exactly an ethnic group.the only thing that unites coloureds us the fact that their of mixed origin. But the admixture can be different depending on the province.. Cape coloureds tend to have admixture from khoisan,Bantu, European, East Asian, and South asian.they r very diverse.. They can be found mainly in western and eastern cape. Northern Cape coloureds tend to mainly have khoisan and European DNA.these ppl tend to have a more African identify than the westernised cape coloureds. Kzn coloureds .this group tends to have Indian,Bantu and British DNA.the mainly speak English.

Yes,coloured people have their own culture and tradition. Trevor Noah for example,he looks coloured but he is not coloured culturally so he is just mixed-race or biracial and has a Xhosa background and culture. He is not coloured because coloured people in South Africa are a group of people,much like Xhosa,Zulu and other nations(groups),who have their own traditions,culture and to some extent language too.

I'm a Cape Coloured, proud to be one too 😁. I find it quite interesting to see how differently we react to the word. I believe we were given an option to change it but we were just like "Nah, we're good". The word, despite how we got it, carries very little negativity in us. We're chilled with it. We do have our own unique culture separate from the others (and us Coloureds do have a certain tradition that we've had for about the 4 or so centuries we existed) , so do the White Africans. We learnt the original African traditions in school because its part of the curriculum. In one of school subjects, Life Orientation, we have an entire topic dedicated to Cultures, Traditions and Religions so we mainly learn it from there. As for lobola, from what I remember: the more educated the girl is, the more expensive she is. So a lady who had gone to university would cost more than a lady who only went as far as high school. Someone can correct me on that though.

Although Trevor Noah looks liked a typical coloured person he does not identify as one. I stand corrected but I think he mentions this in his book.

In terms of the hospital and it's size..yes it might be big but it's government run so it's completely dilapidated..the Drs are great but the wards are terrible..people have to take their own blankets and pillows there. The bathrooms are shocking..the service is shocking.. if you can afford a private hospital then you will avoid government hospitals at all cost.. When it comes to the African languages taught in school, it depends on where you are based. The majority in the area's language will be taught..so I think she is from Cape Town so she was taught Xhosa but here in Gauteng and Johannesburg specifically, Zulu is the 3rd language taught. The coloureds have their own culture..look it up..they have the Kaapse Klopse which is an amazing colorful coloured parade full of beautiful dances and music. The whites as they mentioned are spilt between Afrikaans and English. Afrikaans is the people who broke away from the english..we have our own language (Afrikaans) and our own culture. We are God fearing and very traditional in terms of family. There was a "Boer war" where the english killed 28000 Afrikaans women and children in concentration camps. Today we are all mixed and live happily together. Like I mentioned in your previous video, I married an english man and even though some rural Afrikaners might frown upon that, it is mostly seen as normal these days. An interesting fact about Cape Town: it is the gay capital of the world. It is seen as a very metro and liberal city. It also has 4 seasons in one day so people like us never know what to wear there when we visit 😅 Heritage day is only celebrated for the day.. but we have many, many different public holidays.

As a South African I see this as an absolute win

In SA the white line is in the middle of the road and yellow lane at the edge of the road. We drive on left hand side ( keep left and pass right). Accelerate on the right brakes in the middle a clutch in the left side ) and traffic cops are too friendly but in general all cops are friendly. Mixed race has a culture that they created.

On the 2nd January there is an annual event where coloured people gather I'm Cape Town cbd and they shut down some streets to celebrate their unique culture. It is one big carnival. Some people who come from far arrive a few days earlier than the event and the camp on the streets. It is an epic event because they perform. It takes them months to rehearse. They dress up in colourful costumes. The Cape Town Street Parade took place in a sweltering city centre on Monday, and Tweede Nuwe Jaar was celebrated as it should be, with about 20 000 minstrels and 100 000 people filling the streets with colour and the sounds of the Klopse.

Coloreds origin are from the Khoisan, I am "colored" and we are from Khoi descendant. The term Colored came from the colonizers when they separated us.

27:00 Indigenous Erasure has led to the myth that South Africa's Coloured People are simply a mixture of Black & White with a bit of Asian sprinkled in and the myth that KhoiKhoi & San (Capoid) make up only 1% of the population when in fact up to and possibly above 60% of Coloured People carry a high level of Capoid Genetics (the vast majority of which is through Maternal DNA) meaning they are KhoiKhoi and if the same measures were used that determined whether an American is or isnt Native American then a substantially large number of people who were classified as Coloured by the British as well as the Apartheid regimes and still are us such by the current government would all in fact be Khoisan (Capoid). Large numbers of Khoikhoi and San people were classified as Coloured by the colonisers and through keeping all "mixed race" people, Khoikhoi & San descendants, and slave descendents along along with mixed descendants of whites and mixed descendants of Nguni people separate from other "pure" ethnic groups and even from their original parental ethic groups, they were all lumped together as Coloureds. Therefor through segregation if for example someone was from a family mixed with Indian, they could not live in an area for "pure Indians" (My maternal grandfather's lineage) and was thus through forced assimilation living with and procreating with others classified as Coloured People which automatically included Khoikhoi & San, which meant many would possibly take a Khoikhoi descendant as a partner (My maternal grandmother's ancestral lineage) and for many it meant that Khoikhoi & San cultural identities were steadily lost over generations and the mantel of Coloured was thrust upon Us. Having said that; embracing our KhoiKhoi ancestry (the high kevek of Capoid DNA in up to 60% of Coloureds) also does not erase the fact that South Africa's Coloured People also just happen to have the most diverse DNA of all population groups all over the world, (while still for 60% of us there is included in all that diversity a high level of Capoid DNA). That is why we can never be seen to have a simplistic homogenous racial identity, BUT because of Forced Assimilation through Forced Segregation we have evolved a highly identifiable Cultural Identity. Therefore Coloured is Not a "race" because by the simple definition of race we are too mixed to be a race BUT we do have a cultural identity influenced by the cultures of all those mixed people, slaves from all over africa and Asia and a large number of KhoiKhoi San.

@@TheDemouchetsREACT I'm binge watching your videos a few each day to catch up and be up to date, and yeah, I'm gonna be commenting a lot when especially I see South Africans sharing inaccurate information about our different histories and cultures. I'm just in awe that you two reflect on so many of the important nuances and issues that I am also passionate about in terms of us as Africans and Africans in the Diaspora including African Americans, and how we are all connected whether we acknowledge it or not. Hope you'll come to Cape Town some day. Keep up the good work.

Go visit South Africa and experience it yourself. South Africa is an experience you can not experience through a video, it's something you should enjoy and experience in person. Go have a 'Jol' in SA

South Africa is the 9th biggest country by size 6th biggest country by population 3rd biggest economy FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS South Africa is about 1.8 times bigger than Texas. Texas is approximately 678,052 sq km, while South Africa is approximately 1,219,090 sq km, making South Africa 80% larger than Texas.

We never had ebola in South africa

38:30 😅 HERITAGE DAY literally lasts just that day. We have so many Celebratory days and some are officially Public Holiday so if they would go on beyond that day...when would anything get done?

There are 2 African countries inside South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini(Formely Swaziland) and both their languages are also official languages in South Africa, infact all South African languages and tribes are found in neighbouring countries. Like i said colonialism divided tribes.

Those are real worms and theyre really good 🤣

regarding the Khoi and San people of South Africa - They have been struggling since the end of Apartheid to be recognised as the First Nation, a title they deserve without question - there is doubt that this will ever be recognised as it will bring the land ownership debate into question. In addition their traditional languages have still not been recognised as any of our 11 official languages, another blot against SA. The coloured people of SA speek an Afrikaans that is referred to as Kaaps - personally I find it to be a much purer form of Afrikaans. Driving - yes, the steering wheel of our cars are on the right side - like in the UK, since we were a British colony back in the day. I really enjoy the show!

Also fun fact. Khoi, was originally spelt and pronounced Qoyi. But white people could pronounce or spell Qoyi. And because everything was written in mud by onoQoyi as us Xhosa's who actually are of direct ancestry call them. The spelling was changed to Khoi.
