True, but its really easy to spot them. They don't have a lot of brain cells. They all use the same language, arguments and made-up statistics (like 62% of SA voted for Anc.) as they all log into the Conspirator3000, getting their propaganda from BS Mountain. You can listen to someone's argument and immediately knows where he gets his fix.

Some of them even pay poor black folks to hold up signs with slogans like "Apartheid was better" for their photos to use online.

I once pawned Seriously for doing the same thing. Posted something here that the "black" guy supposedly said. Supposed black guy's only facebook friend was Steve Hofmeyer.

Sometimes they use heavily photoshopped images of random black people or politicians. Yes, they are pretty easy to filter out or they often give it away by misspelling the names they call themselves by.

I'm pretty sure Willem Petzer has some of these people in his circles.

I did not know who she was. Had to google her. Nice legs. As a coloured, I was not bothered or offended.

His movies were on TV few months ago. Caught a glimpse of one of the skits (forgot the movie) where he gatecrashed a political commemoration rally as an Indian trader in what I think was the early 90s. Leon Schuster in generally well received.

Father Japanese and mother Jewish or something like that.

Meet the broad definition of coloured, or must a new "coloured" have a black african component i.e. Trevor Noah. My understanding he/she needs to be mixed race.

Being "colored" in SA is more complex than most people think. In SA, there is a unique "colored" culture which exists among people who have majority "colored" ancestry.

Most modern-day people who are born mixed-race usually don't adhere to the colored culture and usually follow the culture and customs of the dominant parent. In Noah's case, it was his mother who was black whose cultural influence over him was dominant and he followed the Xhosa culture. I stand to be corrected, but Trevor Noah probably identifies as black.

Similarly, Sho Madjozi is actually mixed-race (technically colored) but identifies as black as her mother's Tsonga heritage was dominant in her life.

According to Wikipedia she qualifies
en.wikipedia.org

Coloureds - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
Coloureds (Afrikaans: Kleurlinge or Bruinmense) 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, Afrikaner, Whites, Austronesian, East Asian or South Asian. Because of the combination of ethnicities, different families and individuals within a family may have a variety of different physical features.

She's accused of racism not culturism.

It was a different time. A lot of his stuff is racist in the modern context but it was appropriate for his time. People's thinking changes. When I think about the stuff we watched on WWE in the early 2000's and late 90's, a lot of it would not be allowed on TV today.

Maybe he is racist or not but it does not matter much because he is hardly relevant today.

I'm not sure how race-relations and classification work's there so I can't answer that, it tends to be different from country to country.
