One night we got chatting away in Joburg. She wanted to trace her ancestors... she had similar questions to what I had, like what white and black are we mixed with, why do we coloured people settle for second best, why are there so many secrets on coloured families? The hair issue, skin colour, why are we always the "comedians" in society and lastly the serious issues around abuse of drugs and alcohol, violence within families.
We felt like we wanted to say something, wanted to do something to just cause a shift in the mindset behind "coloured".
