You really do not get that a coloured person is a very proud person.If you think they want or need you to speack for them you are wrong...nothing to do with 50 yrs ago...they were coloured then and they are coloured now...


If you want to know what is offensive in Africa ...for me is watching South African (not the Zulu) burning burning each other alive..Xenophobia is the biggest problem in Africa ATM..For the love of all things sacred...maybe spend a weekend in SA before you pas judgement on stupid terminoligy...people are dying..children are missing..and all you want to mention is what is the least offensive term
