Thank you! I am sooo glad that right now I don’t give a shit anymore and I’ll always feel this way. People need to speak out because there is a hidden truth what we experience.The whole accent thing is so obvious,even just watching tv I can tell how people like us hold back but nobody says anything.ai would absolutely love to do pod casts on this subject.,and it will ruffle a few feathers!

This reminds me so much of my own experience, growing up in South Africa. I went to white boarding schools, at various times. When I returned to my old ("coloured") neighborhood during school holidays, my cousins would make fun of my accent and accuse me of trying to act white. When I returned to school the kids (and some teachers) would bully me and make fun of me because I didn't sound white enough. So, I suppose I learned to code-switch very quickly at an early age. I tend to pick up regional accents much too easily. We moved around a lot when I was a child. I live in America now and it infuriates me when people here say that I sound American or I "don't have an accent." It makes me feel like I've lost a part of myself. It always comes back after a week or so, when I visit South Africa. I also find myself feeling unreasonably offended when people think I'm white but I realize that it's because I was bullied and oppressed by white people as a child. I don't want to be associated with that kind of behavior.

It's never to late to heal. I caught the same grief growing up here in the states. In my 20's is when I realized this is just who I am. Life has been great ever since.

Coloureds make it so hard to be Coloured then get mad when ppl dont want to be classified as it, but honestly the newer generation including me have started to find a pride in our Colouredness despite what ppl say about us, but it's so refreshing to see so many Coloureds redefine the Coloured attitude.

Reminds of Mariah Carey's interview with Opray; where she was asked to identify herself if she was black or white. Sadly, some coloured brethren are ashamed to be associated with blackness. Colour is nothing but personality/character..I can imagine the torture a minor experiencing discrimination at a tender age. Let us bring our children to be colour blind as a rainball nation.Was fortunate to attend an international college in Canada (UWC) with multiracial to promote international understanding. We're all one creation with different colours like flowers.

Francisca, I understand this conflict. I hope from the time you spoke in this video that you continued to heal. Thank you. If I was with my college-educated African Americans they mocked my southern accent. And so when I was around them or whites or my professors, I spoke their dialect. If I was with my granny, i returned to my natural born Arkansas Missouri Mississippi. And although I am brown nowhere near looking white, classmates accused me of straightening my hair when they saw my visible hairline at a scarf. More painful was when others were teased for having kinky hair.

I born in South Africa ( colored mother/ Portuguese father), but at age of 5, my parents broke up and I moved to Portugal and I grew up there with my father. I only came back to South Africa to visit my mother, at age 27. I have South Africa ID and passport but a foreign accent. In South Africa If I keep my mouth shut, people think I am colored, but the moment I talk they can hear that I have a foreign accent. The way I was raised and the way my mother's family was raised, it's such a huge gap, that I have a hard time to deal with it, when I am with them, because they struggle to make ends meet, and I was always a person who had everything I wanted. Sometimes in South Africa I had to use my ID to run some errands, and people get confused because they can hear that I don't speak any of local languages but have valid documents from there.

Very interesting. I am interested in how you were treated in Portugal?? It also has to do with the fact that Portuguese society has a significant percentage of African blood due to the influx of slaves to Lisbon in the 15th century. Over the centuries these African blood blended into Portuguese society, assimilated and passed on the Portuguese people its genes.

The accent situation, being led to believe I was white, everything! Only at age 16 did I really start to truly understand who I am. For so long I felt alone in this, like nobody else experienced or understood how it feels!

It took me years to find myself. I did a DNA , 12 different nationalities . I'm proud of my heritage and I could not choose my colour .

My story is very similar to yours. My mom was Cape Malay and my dad white. My mom very light skinned but lots of Asian features. Growing up i was fair but very curly hair just a little tighter curl than yours. My father always told me I am white.

As you speak I can see the pain in your eyes and that time you are 39 but the pain still lingers on your mind. That's why it makes me angry when people say we should move on because Apartheid is a thing of the past whilst the people who are affected by it are still alive and the trauma is still there. Just to add, SA needs a deep self introspection, we need to focus on similar things that we share than our differences. We tend to focus on our differences that's why there's still a race issue. Let's deal with what we share as a people, it could be the ANC that's corrupt, crime that is affecting us, gangsterism, unemployment, religion, I think this way we could see past our differences.

Coloureds (Afrikaans: Kleurlinge or Bruinmense, lit. 'Brown people') are a multiracial ethnic group native to Southern Africa who have ancestry from more than one of the various populations inhabiting the region, including Khoisan, Bantu, European, Austronesian, South Asian, or East Asian. Because of the combination of ethnicities, different families and individuals within a family may have a variety of different physical features.

Let's not misinterpret history and redefine race and terminology. Colored are not native to South Africa, native people are people who are fully Africans such as Zulu, Nama, Xhosa, San, Hadza, Lembe, Xoi, Batswana and other tribes. Also, very few colored people have Khoisan blood, those who have San blood is about 5%., compare that with the Xhosa people who most of them have above 25% "Khoisan" blood and look very similar to San, or "Khoisan", look at Nelson Mandela, Nasty and most Ngunu people, not just their phenotype but hair texture and culture. Colored people are our brothers and related to everyone in South Africa and even within colored people look very different from each other.

I do feel 1000000% that i am african. My white skin, blue eyes blonde hair made lot of black, coloured and indians to treat me that i do not belong to them . I grew up colour blind i arrived here to south africa i become colour crazy. I never care of the colour of any HUMAN what cares more for me is the SOUL of the person. Unfortunately in south africa its not the case. I hate it when i talk to black/ coloured/ indian people i will tel them that am african and alwats their answers : but you are white. So we are all suffring from this funny ugly issue of racism.

You don't look out of place in Suwalki Gap region believe me or not. I met a girl from there in UK and asked her if she's Brazilian, it was very funny when she told me we are both Polish but from opposite corners of Poland. (PL has a square shape)

Don't worry about your accent we are from the UK my children are Brits but, very young when we came to SA it's over forty years we have been here, my son used to switch his accent all the time, my daughter never bothered and even to this day I've still got my East Midlands accent. We've never let it get to us and if we don't fit in we don't. Accents shouldn't have to be a big deal. Keep your original accent

Your accent just sounds Afrikaans (or Eastern Cape English, even) to me, so I suppose one has to come from the Cape to hear the difference or something. My mom's family were from the Northern Cape, and would've probably been put in the box "Poor Whites" in those times, because that was what the politicians were peddling to the masses back then, but their heavy accent (much heavier than yours to my ears, anyway) wasn't what distinguished them. AFAIK, every English speaker of those regions (regardless of background) spoke basically Eastern Cape English. They moved to Jo'burg, and all the girls changed their accents, eventually, while the boys kept theirs. (Big family.) So today my mom, aunt, and uncle all live together, getting old, and the two sisters speak Natal English, mainly just because that's how people speak here, but my uncle might be able to "pass for Coloured" - to my ears at least, and I'm probably missing all sorts of nuance that make that idea ridiculous. Actually another one of my uncles was in the queue with a very "Coloured-looking" lady (there's no such tidy box, but somewhere right in the middle of everyone pushed or pulled into what's become that culture there's something like that), who had the same surname as him, so is almost certainly related (because it's a very rare surname) to us. So somewhere back in the past, one branch of the family got put in the one box, and the other got put in the other. Actually now I think of it, that very uncle's first ID book had his classification as Cape Malay, and he had to get it changed to avoid discrimination. Like losing his job - although I think the apartheid government allowed Coloureds to be artisans, so maybe he'd have been OK with it, if he didn't mind being forced to divorce his wife? What a bloody mess. Apart from how cruel it was, what a bloody mess. Just at that simple, neutral level it was a bad policy. I suppose it's only a mess if you make the assumption that it was truly intended as a race classification scheme according to some sort of ideology, primarily, and for most perpetrators. Really it was just a kind of "gerrymander", I think. Just a way those politicians used to "cook the books" to have their shot at staying in power forever and ever amen. (So in a sense, nothing's changed as far as that goes. It's still a fantastic way of making intelligent people behave as if they're stupid, for instance.) The Coloureds with the vote almost certainly would've voted SAP, and not Nat, so the minority government that unseated Smuts had to come up with a scheme to eliminate those votes to protect their very thin hold on power. (The racism and discrimination goes deeper than the shenanigans that went on behind apartheid. Before apartheid, the part of our family that ended up being Coloured - culturally, but politically - by being sent to "their part of town", even then? I think? Or were Coloured townships something they came up with only after the black "locations"? I don't know that part of history. It's just that apartheid itself was largely just "politicians being politicians" - trying to make sure the feathers of their nests never got disturbed, ever again.) Hmm ... I think there was a fair amount of intermixing in neighbourhoods before the Nats put up all the walls? I'm thinking of the stories my mom tells of her childhood neighbours, and, for instance, there was one involving a Mary Patel, who is unlikely to have been apartheid-white. And my granny's doctor of choice was a Dr Malema (maybe family of Julius, though I doubt it). Actually there are photos of the young man they called "Johnny K---" (ugly word in our context). Old car, a bunch of young men standing around it in old fashioned suits, all smiling, all looking just like a bunch of brothers, but one of them is "very black". Son of a domestic worker on my great grandpa's farm who died young and left behind a little orphan with no-one to look after him, so they informally adopted him, and kind-of raised him as their own. (Kind-of, because they let the kids call him that name, and I don't think he got to inherit anything - although neither did the girls, for that matter.) There would have been some very South African distortions in the relations, but he grew up with all the other kids in that house, as one of them, until he grew up. My mom doesn't know what became of him. Went away, she thinks, and was never seen again. Ja ... I think I'll stop wondering and think about something else. And today I have nieces who appear to be black on the outside, but at least one of whom is really a little white girl everyone reads wrong because all they see is the outside. Because all we can ever see, really, of most people, is their outside. She's having a hard time dealing with the world outside, growing up. (Seems to have overcome the first big bump in the road, though.) One more thing (I was about to depart): the hair. I'm surprised there are people who've had a go at your hair (on some kind of racist basis) because I knew a blonde girl once who had pretty much exactly the same hair. And she hated it. Would not hear that it was beautiful. Wanted to permanently make it all thin and straight, instead of abundant and wavy. There's definitely no need to put your hair in some "racism box". People making nasty comments about it would more than likely just be jealous. Some of what's been dished out to you as "racism" is nothing more than just plain bitchiness from someone mean enough to be good at figuring out where someone else's "soft spot" is. I'm pretty sure the hair thing is that. So what about identity? Probably best avoided. Insist that you're Human First, even if others try to herd you toward a narrower pen. That's the best start to putting yourself first. But to the extent that it's "compulsory", one way to see it might be quasi-historically - that you're a person of richer heritage. (At least in terms of your DNA - which hasn't directly experienced your life, which is the main thing that forms the cage around your possibilities, not DNA.) Grab a bunch of stupid exaggerations (since this is not something to take too seriously anyway), and own them. For instance, you could say you're a Khoi/Xhosa/Zulu - whatever African tribe grabs your fancy. You "have some of that in you" (as long as you remember that what you actually have is a whole lot of You in you). And then you could "outdo" all the other members of that tribe/ culture you've appropriated by also being "a Viking girl" (why not?) probably a direct descendant of Edmund the Martyr or Ivar the Boneless (why not?). And then you could "double-outdo" all of those yet again, and be Malagassy, with some Spice Islands/ Polynesia sprinkled in. Yes, it's all just fiction (as far as it relates in any truly meaningful way to the exigencies of today), but it's a game available for you to play as a game. (With the serious purpose of having some control over the feelings the terrible history of this country brings on in moments of today's reality. If you can play with things like that, they become your toys. Harmless, or with blunter fangs.) Psychologically, I'm assuming it's a bad strategy (whatever you construct as the true facts of the matter) to make feeling hurt a large part of you. There's pain enough aplenty on its way from just the Earth-anywhere aspects of life to come, so it's better to make room for it later, than to keep any parts of it you can throw out today. (Yes it's a genuine part of your reality, but that water is not going to flow back upriver, and back the other way under this bridge).

You are not this body! You are a spirit soul inside that mixed body. You are a part and parcel of God. As a spirit soul you are eternal, full of bliss and knowledge. Your original constitutional position is servant of God and not the servant of fallen human beings.

This realization is the actual goal of human life

I hate when any other race classify me if you not sure please ask but please leave the spirit of confusion. Once I saw a lady in Pta and I wasn't sure about her race and nicely ask.Her respond was come look me in the eyes and guess she was Asian.So to the world that thinks there's only black and white sorry think again think twice.

What a crazy world we live in. If I had met you without knowing you, I might have thought that you were an Afrikaans speaking person, speaking English. Not that it really matters, 30 years after the end of apartheid government and race is still an issue. Look at the Z-83 form for application for employment in a government dept.

When you mentioned that white Children were laughing at your hair becouse it not straight,Im a bit confused because not all white people have straight hair,some have bush curly hair.

I think she is overreacting or something bc white people love curly hair 😅 I think maybe she tried so hard to fit into the white culture when she knew that she was a coloured person but that's what happens to anyone that's not proud of their heritage. 🤷🏽‍♀

@@missethio7394 🤔 So let me get this straight, YOU have decided that this stranger is overreacting to white children laughing at her hair- a standard micro aggression against women/girls who are mixed with black or who are just black. Has it occurred to you that those white children laughed at her hair, specifically because they knew she wasn’t white and they didn’t want her to feel welcome? This isn’t really about hair texture 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@Music45387 Everyone knows that white people appreciate curly hair more than any other race 😂😁 Like I said this woman sounds like she been hurt by white kids bc she wanted to be accepted and be one of them but realized the hard way that she wasn’t one of them. It’s not white kids fault for pointing out that she was unique bc ‘she is unique’ and nothing is wrong with being unique. She sounds like she had self hate issues growing up but I hope she accepts who she is now and embrace her biracial heritage bc she is one unique person and that’s what makes her beautiful.

It’s sad that she feels that it was her that put herself through that. If she is saying her environment wasn’t accepting of mixed race ppl then she felt that she had to have a white accent so that she could pass as a white person. That is not her fault but the people who did that’s fault.

Be proud of whom you are and how God created you through your father and your mother. As for colors, are there any colorless people in this universe? Is white not a color? To call spade a spade are there truly white human beings? Where are they? I mean 'WHITE" human!!! The creator of humans loves all. God loves all.

You're beautiful and your accent in only south African.

There's only one race:"humans race " and our blood is red , how's that

You are authentic, this is important.. God created ONLY A RACE of humans.... There are no 2 race of humans, we are all humans, WHITE OR BLACK... Please do some research, you accent is quite interesting for me and it is good that you coming clean with your past... Thanks for sharing... You are a jewel. KR, VG61

you are so beautiful my sister your hair is beautiful I feel your pain royal descendants of Khoisan tribe we are marginalised. its our land. 15 ish years ago, im Capetonian and in Jozi a wit oom told me why do I reply to him in English; want mnr ek can net sjy en jjjou. he replied but that's your royal accent your royal decree and I at age 30ish didn't understand what the heck he meant or whats he on about. well after years of research now 46, I now understand that our identities were stripped and stolen from us and replaced with sub-par vagabond and fugitive ideologies. Curse of Cain's descendants Genesis 4. that's why when the new SA rainbow nation came into being, they fled once again the run as the earth rejected them again; bible calls them vagabonds and fugitives to colonise another land that doesn't belong to them where they cannot grow anything they need a land that's blessed in order to farm in their own lands everything is sub-par. this is the curse of Cain and his seed. until they come to repentance in front of the courts of heaven through the blood of Jesus not by religion but by relationship with Jesus born again a second time first being born into sin second being reconciled to the kingdom of heaven, will the curse be removed and no more hatred in their hearts. amen

How could u feel racism when u look maybe southern european. I am from Spain and afrikaneer women tend to love me , lol. And I am white skin with dark eyes and dark hair.

Whom u r married

3:47 we used to understand this chopping up of society into groups as wrong because people like you exist, there's always a group that is not completely captured by the racial ideologies of the day and there always will be i.e. amongst white people, whiteness is not uniform, amongst catholics, catholocism is not uniform,amongst the french, some are more frecnh than others amongst black people blackenss is not a uniform experience - BUT because we handed our state to morons we must now be made to reherse our apartheid classifications and lamet about bull instead of building a state.

I am a South African living in the US, people like you here in America are considered Black Americans, just look at vice president Kamala Harris, she looks almost white but you can tell by her phenotype that she has African ancestors. By looking at you are can tell that you have African ancestors. I have found it very troubling that during apartheid colored people never wanted to be referred to as Africans and today when people argue and tell colored people that they are not Africans, some from the colored community get upset. I personally think there is a lot of confusion in the colored community. Remember remember, allowing people to divide us has always been a weapon used against people of African ancestry, they tell colored that they don't look Africans, they tell Zulu tribe that they are different to Xhosa tribe, Swati tribe that they are different to Tshonga/Shangani, divide and conquer has always been a strategy.

Oh, it's victim hour?! Wait, let me get my coffee!

Mixed rys is mos briyani..leke met soet hoener.

Im thinking we need to get out of here. it will make u insane. But then, thats like giving up.

Just to allay some fears of Race and Nationality. There is no one in the World that is of a singular "Race". As long as we don't see each other as being unique just as others are unique in their own way. The problems lies with those who wanna bees. For trying to become or be by comparison like some else. For example. There people in America who claim to be African American. As there is no such thing. U are either American or U are African, U cannot be both as this is Historically Incorrect. So choice is yours who ever U want to identify with. The fact remains U can't be two people at once, U either accept your uniqueness as U cannot be more than what U are. This the only way we learn from each other. Besides "Race" and "Nationality" is irrelevant. For the leftist and Wokeist who want to have U cut yourselves up into quarters, halves and three quarters just to please them. As living by comparison is a dangerous concept it is the start of all wars, through jealousy, hatred and bitterness. For example:-Cleopatra ruled over Egypt for some what 25 to 30 years. Her dynasties carried on for 300years... Cleopatra never claimed to be an Egyptian all she did was to SHARE the Egyptian culture. And that was when Women ruled the World...😊 There was ☮️ peace, harmony and prosperity. Just because U don't look like Cleopatra doesn't mean U are not Egyptian...😮...The question is to learn to SHARE a culture and not go to extreme of trying to usurp other people's culture by using your own terms and conditions in doing so. That doesn't work as it problematic to say the least..

9:41 its mind blogginling that you are this attractive and this insecure, to this day you obviously have a lot of unresolved issues that eat your mind probably.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a "white" accent.

Try singing a Mariah Carey

So so sick of hearing about racism in SA.

10:42 got it, be a complete loner for ever, problem solved.

Actually you sound Afrikaans which is even still ok

No Afrikaans speaking person is not of mixed race origin. I have DNA tested 10 “white” Afrikaans speaking persons. All are of mixed race origin. The majority of us are decedents of white men and imported slave woman from West Africa , india and Malaysians. I am of Indian, Malay, West Africans and European decent. I have very blue eyes, blond hair and western facial futures. My skin is white and I tan a dark bonze colour. Do not judge people by their looks you might be mistaken. Your coloured accent sounds more like a “ white” Afrikaans accent. You are an Afrikaner. The can just as well do the mental shift and embrace your Afrikaner identity. Many English speaking South Africans are more Afrikaner than the Afrikaners in their way of living and thinking and their values. They are experiencing a continuous identity crises because they belong nowhere. Just accept that you have become Afrikaners. Make the mental shift. Tommy worked at RAU. He was Chinese as his mother and farther were born there. She could barley speak a few words of English. Tommy however spoke English and Afrikaans fluently. No accent in Afrikaans. It was an Afrikaans university. Tommy made the mental shift and became Afrikaans. He was absorbed into the community although he look different. He became one of us. No longer an outsider. We need to embrace our mixed heritage and our Afrikaner identity.

Lol call yourself mixed race if that's what you identity as, but you don't have a "mixed race accent". You have a Coloured accent. Stop hiding from yourself.
