I haven't really been a victim of racism no. I've had people try to insult me with racial slurs before but I guess because of my personality I haven't allowed it to get to me much. Words such as Slaams, a derogatory word used on muslims, many people think I'm muslim at first guess. Boesman and Hottnot very derogatory to use on a Coloured, referring to the Khoi ancestry in most Coloureds....and I'm just like "Oh, okay....
![]() I have been denied jobs for being Coloured though, guess that's kind of racist probably. My first visit to Korea I made a transit stop in Hong Kong first, the guy at the passport check desk stopped me alone out of all the passengers and checked my passport and looked at me real strangely, told me I didn't look South African, I said I am but he still looked at me weirdly. Then he told me “NÇ shì bùshì hÄ“i, nÇ yÇ’u xiÃ*ng wÇ’ zhèyÃ*ng de tóufǎ†meaning: "but you aren't Black, and you have my kind of hair". So I had to explain that I have Indian family and then he was like oh sorry sorry, you just looked suspicious. lol okay whatever he meant by that I'm not sure. But I know after that I kept wondering if everyone else thought I looked suspicious. |
