south african vlogger coconut kelz parodies the crazy shit wypipo say

I never thought I would say I want to hear more of the ridiculous things white people come up with. But when it’s coming from Coconut Kelz, shit white people say is pure comedic gold. That’s the character Lesego Thlabi created for her increasingly popular YouTube vlog, which she began after she noticed her social media posts about race relations in South Africa were resonating with many people.

“[Video blogs] were just something I did via Instagram stories. But people’s interests in the stories grew what I do into a Youtube channel,” Lesego explained in an interview with 10and5. “I take some of their comments and thoughts as well as observations from my time at white-majority schools until now, to create content. It’s crazy how many people think the same things.”

A scriptwriter by day, Thlabi’s sketches are a hilarious take on racial tensions in the country via the outspoken Coconut Kelz. In one skit, she jokes about how when a white person dies, “it’s like 1,000 Black people die.”
