You can’t label an entire city racist so obviously Cape Town is not racist. But there are undoubtedly racist people of all levels still in Cape Town and everywhere in South Africa and the world.

If you’re a POC or friends with POC, we all have some if not many experiences of subtle and not so subtle racism. I’m a very light skinned coloured person and even I’ve been called the K word. I went to Rondebosch Boys High School and the things we said to each other were horrendous. We’d have black and coloured vs white soccer matches at breaks.

Racism is alive and well in every part of South Africa. That is a fact. The level and prevalence of that racism is what is often hotly debated.

I was about to comment. I’m 5’4’’ at 65kg and he looks taller and heavier than me.

What are you talking about? Any middle class and above person can tip extremely generously without affecting their standard of living at all. I’m not from the US so the tipping culture isn’t so hectic but anyone who has a comfortable job can tip average and above and not even have to think about it. I’m in my late 20s and I tip and pay people who work for me better than most of the top earners in my county. You really think a couple of 100 dollars a month in tips is gonna put a dent in someone’s pocket who’d drop 1000s of dollars on fancy meals, alcohol and whatever other luxuries a month.
