Sandiso Ngubane writes about racial profiling in the dating world. 1 Imagine my shock and horror, having pursued a love interest for a while, when told, “You have everything | want in a partner — except | don’t date black people. I'm just not attracted to black people.” You probably can’t imagine why | would be horrified by this, can you? 2 Most of us think of race as a perfectly acceptable dating preference. Even dating sites and apps give us the option to indicate which races are acceptable. You hear that? “Acceptable!” So I just cleared my throat. And no —| don’t think race is an acceptable dating preference. That’s undiluted racism! 3 Two years ago, dating site OkCupid’s founder ,Christian Rudder, published a book that reveals just how secretly racist our dating habits are. Rudder’s conclusion was that people generally have an attraction or bias towards people of their own ethnicity. So, are OkCupid users unusually racist? He doesn’t think so. “All dating data I’ve seen fits OkCupid’s pattern : black people and Asian men get the short end of the stick,” he said. 1 was not surprised but what did irk me was that according to the data, black men find Asian and Latin American women 3% more attractive than the general population; black men find other women 3% less attractive than the general population. This confirmed my thoughts about society's racist definitions of beauty. 4 *Heterosexual white women mostly lean towards people of their own ethnicity — white men — and heterosexual white men find Asian women to be the most attractive. According to Rudder, an individual can’t really control who they find attractive and almost everyone prefers a type. However, these trends raise deeper questions. Obviously, Rudder had an interest in appeasing his website’s users and | doubt he’d want to say : “You're all racist.” This would be financial suicide. 5 Now let me go back to my non-black people-dating former love interest, and dispel an incorrect notion YOU might have about him. He was not white. He was black. 6 Considering the country-wide race debate, it's probably a sigh of relief to learn that my fellow was black, not white. | had known him for a while, so the declaration that he wasn't into black people was rather strange to me. | knew he had relationships with black people before, so | was naturally curious to find out what it was that had changed him. 7 He explained that he’d always felt this way, but has now made it a point to find his “blonde, blue-eyed babe”. He no longer wanted to remain in the closet and waste his time looking for anything “less” and hopes to fall head-over-heels for that person. As such, he started an overhaul of his social circle. 10 15 20 25 30 35 PTO....PAGE 3

C) Downloaded from hlayiso.com pace; 8 [had never thought about race as a dating preference, because for me a good- looking, charming romantic prospect doesn’t come in a particular colour. | don't imagine that the well-mannered, well-rounded, intelligent, loving, considerate, sensitive and curious person whom | hope to partner will be black or white, for that matter. | imagine he would love music and enjoy reading books like I do. | imagine he wouldn't bat an eyelid if | wanted to go to ‘Mugg and Bean’ ona Sunday morning — but | certainly don’t accept that *melanin tevels would be an efficient filter to find him. 9 My realisation about my former crush is that he, like most of us, is fundamentally a victim race-socialisation.

NOTE : You are required to do the following : 1, Summarise why the writer regards Isabella Kruger as the miracle child. 2. Your answer must take the form of a fluent paragraph, using your own words, 3. The paragraph should include seven points and not exceed 90 words. 4. You are not required to write a title for the summary. 5. Indicate your word count at the end of the summary. TEXT B THE MIRACLE CHILD Isabella Kruger — or Pippie as everyone knows her - is a real fighter, her mum, Anice G1), says. “Everyday there’s something new — a new word, a new thing she does. And the fact that she’s here at all is nothing short of a miracle.” But it hasn’t been easy getting to this point and there are plenty more up-hill battles and trauma ahead. The six-year-old has already had 55 surgeries and will need to undergo the knife again in the months and years to come. “It’s difficult to say how many more operations will be necessary,” her mum says. Pippie’s life changed forever on New Year’s Eve in 2011. She’d been playing on the lawn of the family’s home in Limpopo, when the fire-lighting gel her father, Erwin, was using to get the braai going exploded. His hands were badly burnt but toddler Pippie bore the brunt of the flames, suffering burns to 80 percent of her body. Doctors gave her little hope of survival but Anice refused to give up — and in the process Pippie became a household name in South Africa. The skin Pippie received in a cloned skin graft, the first to be performed in SA, is for the most part healing well. Plastic surgeon, Dr Ridwan Mia used a procedure known as Apligraf using flexible skin to integrate with the wound. Later this skin generates more healthy cells. Anice and Erwin (43) are leaving the scars on Pippie’s body alone for now. “One day when they’ve shrunk we can think about having them removed, If Pippie ever says she doesn’t want any more surgety, we won’t force it on her.” Pippie had five cardiac arrests in the touch-and-go weeks after the accident and oxygen to her brain was cut off. She doesn’t have brain damage but doctors believe she’ Il continue to recover as time goes by. (ADAPTED : YOU MAGAZINE) (10 marks) PTO....PAGE 6

The text in small font reads as follows: We made our Classic Yellow Boot because it rains and it snows. And too often, that leads to wet feet. So more than three decades ago we found a way to waterproof leather. Then we used four rows of stitching and seam-sealed construction, and built.a boot that keeps water out. Period. That way feet stay dry and feeling good whether you're walking through a puddle or a river. Which is really important to us. Because in order to have the strength of your convictions, you need a boot that is going to do everything you need it to do. PTO,...PAGE 7

TEXTE GNOMEO and JULIET The tragedy, of feuding families and star-crossed lovers, are once more on screen in GNOMEO and JULIET. The bickering enemies, who live in colourful backyards, do battle over and under their common fences. The blue garden is the Montagues while the red belongs to the Capulets. 4 Gnomeo is the hero who is always up for a little grab-your-rake and rumble with the neighbours, especially with Tybalt. These battles are mostly won by Gnomeo. Meanwhile on the red side is Juliet whose father, Redbrick, is forcing her to stay safely stationed on a tower even though she insists that she is not China-cup (delegate/delicate). 8 When Gnomeo first spots Juliet’s twinkling eyes, all the years of anger evaporates. There is an instant, immediate attraction and magic in the air. 10 However, that doesn’t mean that all is well and romance blossoms. It is in fact the begginning of new troubles for these sweethearts. As Juliet’s friend declares, “They have nothing more than a doomed love.” 13 But, can this version of the love story - with plastic bunnies and ceramic ornaments - end in tragedy? 15 Adapted from www.pluggedin.com QUESTIONS 5.1 Identify and correct the concord error in paragraph 1.

() C) Downloaded from hlayiso.com COMPREHENSION: GRADE 10 SUGGESTED ANSWERS 1.4 1.2 1.3 14 The word “colour blind” is often associated with people that are unable to see particular colours therefore, title could arouse curiosity / suspense / interest — gripping / arresting. Also, when people date, race should not be an issue but the person’s / individual's qualities. This links with the ideas of the writer. The use of the question mark in the title allows the reader to evaluate if race is something that will determine a possible partner or not. Rhetorical question engages the reader, drawing him / her immediately into article — to engage on level of writer. Summary of passage (2 X 1%) [3] The writer is surprised by the candid statement of a potential love interest about his dating preference. His blatant response, “I’m just not attracted to black people”, is often never said aloud in a country like South Africa which has a history of racial tension. This response further conveys her horror as she has, “everything |'want in a partner’, yet he rejects her based on the colour of | her skin, It is an illogical idea. “Were together for a while *He was black too. (2X 1%) [3] 1.3.1 Range of feelings : annoyance, aggrieved, insulted, hurt, upset, indignant, distressed .....(Accept in context) | It emphasises her resentment and the fact that she feels offended, The | writer is angry at the response. The repetition of “acceptable” stresses he disbelief that people can think that race is a criteria‘to the point that she engages the reader to realise that this is unacceptable. The exclamation adds to her intense irritation / frustration. [2] 1.3.2 The word “undiluted” refers to something that strong and concentrated like juice. Therefore one has to dilute juice to make it more palatable to ingest. However, these preferences portray racism in its concentrated form and this is difficult to digest ~ like drinking something harmful to the body (one’s life in this context). Writer finds this boid / daring / . audacious and unhealthy — support / reinforces her stance. [3] “OkCupid” is effective because it deals with the nature of finding love or your suitable partner. “Cupid” is a figure often associated with valentine’s day who “shoots an arrow” of love for people to fall in love. “OkCupid” is a site that assists — “cupid” in finding the right partner no matter what your preferences are. Cupid, in classical mythology, is known as the God of love. By naming the site “OkCupid” it means that users are offering this site permission to find them a suitable partner — the site is ***** to God / fate. Name is associated with success / positivity. Encourages sceptics to use site which promotes excellent results. [3]

® Downloaded from hlayiso.com 1.5 Rudder would not want to offend his website users as he gains publicity and a reputation of being great at his craft since he also wrote a book. Also he depends on his followers for financial growth and if he displeases them he stands to lose a great deal as no one would want to be labelled as “racist”. [2] 1.6 The writer makes a direct approach to involve the reader through the use of “YOU" challenging their mindset. Also the use of two short simple sentences to confuse the reader and create tension and then suddenly shock the reader. Uses contrast (white / black) and irony : a black person being racist towards his own race is unthinkable. Reader now realises writer is not racist but the former lover is. [3] 1.7. 1.7.1 Often referred to a white person having the physical features of blonde hair and blue eyes which is considered very good looking / attractive. It represents the stereotype of a perfect beauty. 1.7.2 This expression is a person who is deeply in love. (2] ( ) 1.8 B-Sarcastic ; [1] 1.9 The former partner's criteria was race / skin colour but the writer uses attributes of people that make them appealing like “good-looking”, “charming”,“intelligent’ which can be found in all people. She also speaks of refined hobbies like “he would love music” and “enjoy reading books” that will indicate their potential. [3] 1.10 The writer is more accepting of the idea that you can accept other race groups. “former crush”- she is over the relationship, “realisation’, “victim”, “race-socialisation” [3] TOTAL-[30]

(2) 3.2 There is a play on the expression “comes apart at the seams” Firstly, it refers to items of clothing or shoes coming unstitched due to shoddy workmanship. Secondly, it means someone who never loses control. Both these meanings have great influence since nobody wants poor quality items and we also like to be in control of situations. This advert claims that the product offers both therefore it will be highly desirable. (Both meanings must be stated and the effect must be explained: 1 mark each) (3) 3.3 these words attest to the products strength, quality and durability. It has stood the test of time, proving for 30 years that it can withstand wet conditions. (2) 3.4 Yes. The boots pictured are clearly well-used and not new yet they are in great condition (sturdy and solid rather than breaking or coming apart).This supports the slogan:”Don’t wear it. Use it.” It’s dirty appearance implies that it has been well — used in terrible conditions but has not broken,lost shape, loosened stitched, etc which proves it is of good quality and durable and offers protection in wet conditions as the text claims.
