Coloured
This article is about the term for an ethnic group used in Southern Africa. For other meanings, see
Colored or
colour. In the
South African,
Namibian,
Zambian and
Zimbabwean context, the term Coloured (also known as Bruinmense, Kleurlinge or Bruin Afrikaners in
Afrikaans) refers to an
ethnic group of people who possess some degree of sub-Saharan ancestry, but not enough to be considered Black under
South African law. They are technically
mixed race and often possess substantial ancestry from
Europe,
Indonesia,
India,
Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh,
Maldives,
Nepal ,
Madagascar,
Mozambique,
Mauritius,
St. Helena and Southern Africa. Besides the extensive combining of these diverse heritages in the
Western Cape – in which a distinctive
Cape Coloured and affiliated
Cape Malay culture developed – in other parts of
southern Africa, their development has usually been the result of the meeting of two distinct groups. Thus, in
KwaZulu-Natal, most coloureds come from British and
Zulu heritage, while Zimbabwean coloureds come from
Shona or
Ndebele mixing with British and Afrikaner settlers. Griqua, on the other hand, are descendants of
Khoisan and
Afrikaner trekboers. Despite these major differences, the fact that they draw parentage from more than one "naturalised" racial group means that they are "coloured" in the southern African context. This is not to say that they necessarily identify themselves as such – with some preferring to call themselves "black" or "Khoisan" or just "South African" – but the history of racial segregation and labelling has placed all such "mixed race" people in a certain relationship together by virtue of the fact that the imperial and apartheid governments categorized them as Coloureds and because, for the most part, other groups continue to view them through such a lens.
