Everyone knows that each country will have some sort of prejudice and discrimination happening within the nation. Not every country will let the discrimination and discrimination among the people lead into such things as wars, segregation, political unrest, and poverty, while other countries cannot seem to do much to stop things from occurring. Today the discussion will be about the discrimination and prejudice which Black Africans and Colored face in South Africa as well as the different races and ethnicities within South Africa. Cultures, Races, and Ethnic Groups First we need to take a good look at the meaning of culture, race, and ethnicity to better understand how each goes together. Culture deals with the values, beliefs, behaviors, and material objects, which help, form a way of life for people. Race is when people are, categorized by the biological traits in which those in the society share, such as whites, African American, Asian, and others. Some might be classified as a certain race due to traits such as the hair, skin color, facial features, or even body shape. Ethnicity is dealing with shared cultural heritage based on ancestors, language, and religions, which those people share. As we see these three things can go together, but they are also not alike in some ways as well. (Macionis, 2006) South Africa is comprised of many different languages, cultures, religions, and races. The nation consists of about “75 percent black, 14 percent white, 9 percent Colored, which is mixed racial heritage, and two percent Asian” as far as races go. (Knight and Mabunda, 2000) Then the races are divided out even more to form “ethnic groups with blacks being 5.6 million Xhosa, 5.3 million Zulu, and 4.2 million English” and “the 3.6 million Colored coming from many origins with a mixture of white, black and Asian ancestries” while the “6 million whites are about 3.6 million Afrikaner and 2.4 English heritages.
