The Origin of the Coloureds in South Africa
There are five different types of Coloureds.
1. Cape Coloured
2. Cape Malay
3. Griqua
4. Basters
5. Other Coloureds
The origin of the Cape Coloureds: Three choices and forced marriage
The Cape Coloureds are the result of interracial mixingbetween Xhosa and Khoikhoi (a subrace of the Khoisan), Dutch Cape Colonists and the Khoikhoi or the mixing between the Dutch Cape Colonists and their slaves. The origins are to be found between the 17th and 18th century when White colonists, under the leadership of Jan van Riebeeck, were expanding on South African soil. This caused the Khoikhoi to have three options to choose. The decisions that they made individually depended on their animals, the Khoikhoi’s basic economy. They could decide to live with the black Xhosas or with the White Dutch colonists and the last option was to live up north. The Khoikhoi that we see today are the descendents of those that chose the third option.
The Khoikhoi could live with the Xhosa, but they would end up as the lowest citizen in Xhosa hierarchy and lose their cattle. They would live free, though. Some people of the two cultures mixed and little Coloured babies were a result.
If they lived with the White settlers, they could keep their cattle. But they had to work as a modified form of slaves. They had to work on their boss’ land to get permission to cultivate their own.So, obviously, there was some race mixing aswell.
The third reason for the existence of the Cape Coloureds is the slaves, imported by the Dutch colonists. These slaves had the purpose to be the wife of the single Dutch males. That is another explanation of the existence of Cape Coloureds. The origin of these slaves are still unknown to me.
The Cape Coloureds speak Afrikaans and are Christians of the Dutch Reformed Church.
I looked on the internet if there were specific names for these three categories, unfortunately there is not.
So the name ‘Cape Coloureds’ is the collective name for those three categories as described above in the three different colours.

Cape Coloured
The origin of the Cape Malay
The Cape Malay are slaves imported of Indonesia, Mozambique and Madagascar. Those three countries had something in common in the 17th Century: the Islam.
Indonesia received Arab guests in the 12th century that sold them as slaves. It is from there that Indonesia has their Islamitic origins.
In Mozambique, there were Arab slave traders before the Portuguese came.
Madagascar had these Arab parasites since the 7th century. This is long before the Portuguese Diego Dias decided to drop by and even longer before the French conquered the land.
So, what are these Cape Malay people? These Cape Malay people are the slaves, from those three countries, that mixed with their Dutch bosses. The Islam, that is widely present in modern South Africa, has been carried forth by those slaves. The Cape Malay are, in other words, Muslims.
The Cape Malay are easily recognised by the clothes they are wearing. Some of them go dressed in Arabic clothes and they always wear a hat. Most Cape Malay live in Cape Town nowadays.

Cape Malay Coloureds
The Griqua
Now you have the third category named the Griqua. Those were the Cape Coloureds (Khoikhoi mixed with the Dutch settlers) that went north, in the direction of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), and mixed with the black Tswana (and a little bit with the Zulus). Today there are only about 300.000 left. Even though they have mixed with the kaffirs Tswana’s, they still carried the Afrikaans language with them. Therefore, they speak Afrikaans nowadays. They have their own church, but it is a branch of the Christian church. It is called the Griqua church.
The Basters
The origin of the Basters lies with the interracial mixing between kaffir women (presumably Xhosa) and the Dutch colonists. In the 19th century, they headed north to find land. They found this in Central Namibia, Angola and Lubango. Most of them live in Namibia. There is only a maximum of 40.000 of these specimens.
Their name ‘Baster’ is derived from the Dutch word ‘bastaard’ (which means ‘bastard’). The funny thing is that they are proud of this word. :D
The Other Coloureds
About them, I do not have much to say. They are simply a mixture of these four other categories.
Conclusion: Prevention
Hereby I can conclude that, if we continue this race mixing in Europe, we will only have these types of people walking around the Eiffel tower, the Big Ben and the tower of Pisa.
The only thing we can do to prevent this, is to fornicate with White (wo)men and have lots of babies to be raised under racially aware education.
Time to make babies, ladies and gentlemen!
