I'm not offended, I just don't understand how your statement correlates with what I said.

You telling me of how wide the scope of coloured people is, it's like you're trying to imply that I could be a coloured too.

I admit that on my mother's side there are some mixed ethnicities starting with my grandmother, her father's genes are very much dominant in her, she has straight hair with some curls ranging from 2b to 2c texture and she's very fair in complexion... And the funny part is that her eyes have two different colours... One brown and the other green.. .. I've lost count of the number of times I made fun of them.. .. But she too has black facial features.

Growing up the family always shaved her head and identified her as an albino to the public in order to conceal her true identity because you know the history of SA.

She never knew her father and she was raised in a Pedi village and she identifies as a Pedi too.

So as a Coloured, would you say we're Coloureds identifying as Pedi people?

I don't like the term coloured, I believe every tripe in SA is african, so it doesn't matter if you pedi or not you first african before you are Pedi. I see you as african. How do you see the coloured people?

I see them as people of mixed ethnicities.

However do you see them as african?

Dpsychologist:

Yea, I get you.

Though in showbiz it can affect both gender.

Showbiz yes....
Not. My niche none....
100%... Tech

Magnoliaa:
Personally, no.

But it's a two-way thing.

There's discrimination unjustly based on look, and there's a positive type that deals with being generally presentable.

Uglee woman.

They usually deny their heritage, which can make some us confused as to whether they're Africans or not.

I can't classify a person to a certain group when he or she does not know who he or she is, or where he or she belongs.

mzansiboy:

Dpsychologist:
They say good looking people are often perceived as more intelligent, honest and successful.

1. Have you ever been discriminated because of your looks?

2. Was someone who is more attractive than you favoured over you, even when you know deep down that you are better?

3. Do you think lookism (discrimination based on looks) exists?

Will love to see your comments. I need to carry out a survey.

Look matters more than we care to admit. Someone can live in Hell or in Heaven just because of how they look. As someone who went from ugly to being a hot cake, the difference in treatment was vastly astonishing.

If you are very attractive, someone can literally pick you up from the street and give you the life of your dreams. But the same cannot be said if you are ugly.

I really pity for ugly people. They have to work 10x harder to achieve the life they want.

When a person agrees his look is a disadvantage so be it. It starts from you. I have known a friend over the years and it hardly occur to me he limps. He is energetic, confident, social to an extent and dresses well

I also have a friend with one eye and have have never seen it as a disfigure on him because of his positive approach to life. He talks intelligently and smile a lot. I have an albino female friend. I see her as a normal person because she is always happy. In a nut Shell , it begins of how the person feels about his/herself.

Worriedguy6699:
All I can say is people are mean to ugly folks and nicer to good looking folks.

Yes you have a point.

Never

Cos I am a fine kerl😘
Sweet and lovely too

Michaelspresh:

Why do I feel some people are not saying the truth.

Looks really does matter.

Regardless of gender,the bitter truth is looks do matter. But it matters most for females; as the saying goes A WOMAN BEAUTY IS HER WEALTH WHILE A MAN WEALTH'S HIS BEAUTY.

But if you are very attractive as man,na better advantage you get o.

As for ladies,you have no choice, your appearance would be judged ruthlessly by men,women, society and all. If you no fine na better disadvantage you get for life,you go suffer die.

You can never see a pretty lady suffering,na lie when SIMP choke everywhere. Even female beautiful female celebrities are more successful than their ugly colleagues.

Abeg at all cost,if you are a female and you are born ugly,you need to do something ASAP about your appearance. Thank God say all my sisters fyn.

Yes. Everyday of my life

if you are ugly, no one will look your side. Speaking from experience. The only thing There is that you gotta love yourself very well. And don't force yourself on people because if they reject you many times you will get depressed.

I get the opposite but my head no dey big o

Monkey no fine, him mama like am, in all na money be fine BOBO

I always discriminate against ugly
ladies and go for the more beautiful👄💋
ones.. 😁😁😁


Who nor like better thinz .😁😁😁

Samantha124:
No, I've never been discriminated before, but each time I go to the salon I get questions like "are you a coloured? Do you have a mixed or a white family background? How sure are you that you don't have a white ancestry?"

All these questions can be really tiring sometimes because I always have to explain myself.

I've got a 4A hair texture and sometimes people question it because I'm also fair in complexion.

I've been told that I look like an Ethiopian, one girl back in high school once told me of how I looked like those illegal Pakistani migrants here in SA.

Nice PR

This feels like a backhanded brag.

goldstar25:

Severally my dear. I once thought of ending it.

That's all....

All this musicians don't have good looks , but have good money.....

I have the Arab kind of hair but, mehn but I don't have much money.....

Just have money...

goldstar25:

Beautiful yes no discrimination there but I have unfortunately seen well endowed women with hour glass figures being victimised because they didn't look "professional"

Do you have encounter with people on a daily basis, calling you a name you're not bearing and mistaking you for another person they knew, or people asking you questions, maybe you've worked someplace before and commenting on you that you resembles someone they knows?. This is what I mostly face on regular basis

mzansiboy:


Sam, you see how wide the scope is for the coloured people. I wish I could see you. If you look at me you would see that I have european blood in me. My mother is very white and has some straight hair, but she has all the african features.

So having a straight hair equals European?
Mbok.

Go and do dna ancestry.

If I have problem of people rejecting me because of my look, then I would go to my village to"get" new acceptable look.
