I had a little altercation with a Xhosa dude a while back.
Kid was about 19 or something.
It started with him being obnoxious around a couple of lesbian chicks who were drinking with me and my friends and talking about how they will never be acceptable to him as a man. He had apparently been to the mountain a while before that.
The chicks also happened to be Xhosa and the one started getting into a debate with him. I obviously couldn't understand it, but it ended with him threatening to beat her a** and her telling him he knows nothing about what it is to be a man.
All I was thinking was that if this is what it is to be a Xhosa man, I am glad I'm not one.
He asked me if I am snipped and I said no. He just said nothing and smirked.
Later he approaches the chick I'm with and starts getting all touchy feely. She tells him to f*** off and he starts swearing at her. I say nothing, cos she has quite a mouth on her too. I just sip my beer and remove my gla**es.
He tries to grab her breasts and she shoves him away.
This time I ask him to f*** off, very politely. He starts telling me how I am a boy and shouldn't talk to men and if he wants to take my woman he can.
So, this is where I hand the chick my gla**es to hold onto and make it very clear that I am about to stomp the shit out of him.
Unfortunately just as I am about to put my foot in his moouth his boy jumps in between and breaks up the fight and starts apologising, saying that dude is drunk and he leads him away.
Later they come around and he apologises, saying he is sorry, but I must learn to respect people's cultures.
So, is this Xhosa culture? I know a lot of mad cool Xhosa cats, but I have noticed that many of them tend to be very misogynistic and very judgemental of people who don't follow their way of doing things.
Its also not the first time I have been called a boy by someone who has been to the mountain, despite them being much younger than me. I have actually been forced to put my size tens into people's faces for just being plain disrespectful.
What is this?
