OPINION: Trevor Noah might have more than 10 million Twitter followers, but that doesn't make him an expert on anything, least of all something as complex as coloured identity, writes rylandfisher.
As someone who prides himself in his understanding of different, and sometimes complex, people, Noah should have known that this was not a topic that could be reduced to a one-liner. I have written a book and many columns about race and identity, and I will not be bold enough to claim to understand everything about what some people call coloured identity. I would normally say “coloured”, but I understand that this is real for many.
The other is rapper AKA, aka Kiernan Forbes, originally from Mitchells Plain, who has more than four million Twitter followers. When someone as popular as AKA uses dismissive language and gives such bad advice to people who idolise him, then it raises questions about the values that he is trying to promote and how much worth he attaches to the contribution made by our elders.
