FWIW, I believe the term ‘Coloured’ in the South African context refers to a specific ethnic group that came about by mixing between white and native Africans. Which is different than the (now dated) term ‘Colored’ in the American context, which referred simply to people with African ancestry. So, if my understanding is correct, a South African Coloured is different from a Black South African. But in the US, both ‘black’ and ‘colored’ refer to the same people.
