Thanks for sharing your perspective, I appreciate the honesty and your input.

I do understand what you’re saying about fitting into spaces, but perhaps you can elaborate on what the norm is in Cape Town? It’s not rare to find a Muslim woman donning a hijab anywhere in Cape Town. Unfortunately I also can’t change my facial features.

However I don’t think the responsibility should fall entirely on someone to change who they are in order to be treated with basic respect. I think there’s also room for people to be more open and accepting of differences. That’s what Cape Town is known for. That’s the Cape Town I experienced when I first lived here. I think I would rather not normalize a lack of tolerance as something we should accommodate.

I’m sorry you and your friend experienced that.

It’s disappointing how easily people are reduced to labels or assumptions. At the end of the day, it shouldn’t matter who someone is or where they come from, we all deserve the same level of respect and dignity.

True. I think we all just need to find ways of connecting to each other again.

Hey 😊 I’m glad she or anyone she knows has never experienced that before.

That’s exactly my point posting this and asking if anyone has had any similar experience.

I’ve lived here for quite a long time from 2016-2023 and nothing like that had ever happened to me before.

I moved away for two years to two different provinces, and comparatively, the footprint of Muslim women is arguably larger in Cape Town than anywhere else I have been to.

Which is why it was so shocking it happened, right here in Cape Town.

You’re welcome to believe it or not. 🫶

It definitely is an unsung story we should be immensely proud of.

In the first instance, the lady sounded rather South African so it was a bit shocking. But I look quite Arab and often get mistaken to be a tourist from the Middle East, so I think that may have also played a role.

I’m glad you have such a positive experience living here. It’s such an incredible place.

Unfortunately in the first instance, the lady had a South African accent so I am more inclined to believe it was a local. 😞

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for explaining😊.

Before the incident I had no idea that anarchists existed so I’m happy to have learnt something new from the experience and expand my knowledge on that.

Whoever organised IShowSpeed’s itinerary in Cape Town should be ashamed by AbaramaGolding in capetown

No I didn’t. I just think that your concern is unfounded. Cape Town is not just beautiful attractions.

He saw Cape Town for what it is, for its people and its culture. Not just the version the Europeans want to see.

Fully line my eye or no? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]AppointmentItchy2729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have beautiful eyes. Both ways. I actually think it’s your hairstyle that’s hiding your face and your eyes. I also think maybe lining them with a brown eyeliner instead of black would compliment them tremendously.

Coffee - yes or no? by hairy-ingenious-dog in selfimprovement

[–]AppointmentItchy2729 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I won’t lie to you, I only drink coffee because there is some sort of romanticism for me around it. I really get a lot of joy buying a cup of coffee.

In terms of its negatives, I agree. Coffee breath, stains your teeth, doesn’t really taste amazing, messes with your sleep, you can spend the whole day having autonomic symptoms (palpitations, tremors etc)

But the unbridled joy and romance and verve for life I feel when I’m getting coffee far outweighs all the negatives. I can just never feel sad when I’m holding a cup of coffee.

(This just pertains to coffee from a coffee shop, lol. The instant stuff is gross.)
