English term or phrase: Grey pride
Hi everyone!
Does any of you have a clue of what grey price means in this context? It is a short story by Mafika Gwala, a posh tourist is visiting the blacks area in Natal or nearby and, as one of the black guys is quite rude with her when answering to her questions, one lady comments: "Well, you see what a grey pride the Zulus have?
It obviously does not refer to being proud of having grey hair, as I found in the UrbanDictionary. But haven't found the meaning in this context.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Sin duda, no me parece "orgullo de la ancianidad"... aunque, ¿quién sabe?

Saludos cordiales.
