[@ianbeddowes5362]

Commonly, South Africans identify themselves by ethnic group, but so often people from Soweto identify merely as Sowetans, because there, it would not be considered strange for one grandparent to be Zulu, another Sotho, another Coloured and another Zimbabwean.

Schools were integrated in 1990 in South Africa. I was one of very few none white kids in my Primary School and I started school in '99. The older kids would use racist slurs.

[@larissahorne9991]

There's still an awful amount of pain and suffering amongst our Indigenous population in Australia. It took roughly 200 years for things to really start getting better from Colonisation in 1788 on. Until the 70's they weren't even acknowledged as human by the government. The Australian Government has been doing a lot to help, but it's an ongoing thing including National Sorry Day. When Queen Elizabeth II died I became aware of the demands our Indigenous population had been putting on her. They wanted either an apology or at least an acknowledgement of the past atrocities committed by Britain and our government. Unfortunately She wouldn't do it, so I think that's continuing with King Charles III. I'm starting another comment.

Abuse on indigenous people across the world from Africa, America, Aborigines, South America is enormous and culprits don't want to account nor refurbish. This continue to breed dispaired family units, hostility among ethnics, imbalanced governance and conflicts among international communities. As colonies are set up differently subject to imperial obligations and friendship circulate within. This threatens and disparage world peace The atrocious ammunition used is socio-economics apportionment stratified on race factor, then on services delivery, opportunities and social security system inter alia Worst part is the fact that abuser doesn't see anything wrong by incapacitating others of not of their own, in fact they reckon that they execute their mandatory

So true. 30 years is not enough time to be over everything and re building and correcting everything will take longer than that. We have done a lot. That's why we don't compete with anyone. We just want to be better than yesterday. If you know our country you know we have gone very far.

I understand being born in poverty but it's better being a country where there is still opportunity. whereby you can work hard and move yourself out of poverty. With good infrastructure, and employment opportunities. South Africa it's even difficult to find a job , infrastructure is falling apart and starting a business is extremely difficult with no money. it's irritating because we got potential if government really focused on those three things. Job opportunities ( Good investmenst) Ease of creating Businesses ( funding schemes) improving and maintaining infrastructure. that's all we ask for so we can work our way out.

Well at least when it came to roughly half of those dishes I didn't want to throw up. I can't handle hot spicy foods, unfortunately I can't handle Coleslaw. It hurts my mouth to eat it and then it gives me a heck of a sore stomach. I'd be looking at the person doing the cooking with my big almond shaped eyes and begging to know what's in those sauces first. I'd be asking them to please leave the Coleslaw off my dish with those hamburger patties for my mouth and stomach's sake. But I would be willing to try them, possibly splitting them with someone else. I probably wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day though. Except to eat something light with a nice salad 🥗.

I would say the "hood" is more the coloured areas, as to the townships. Like people in the townships are good people who dont even have the opportunity to do anything. In the coloured community, youll see a situation more similar in culture to the hood, as the coloured community adopted a lot of hiphop influences into the culture, and maxe it coloured. Like, for example, no self-respecting coloured boy wears a pants that isnt 3 sizes too big. No coloured boy hates hiphop music and they only listen to rnb for the toxic kings like brent and breezy. The car pimping, gang affiliation and illegal substance dealings. That story about your granny, might apply to the township as well, but in the coloured community, its out of necessity. We look out for each others kids, because of the gang activities and the fact that it takes a community to battle it.
