Haha, yeah, not so sure. I think the Pakistani guy was calling himself an Englishman because he was born and raised in England. I get what you're saying, but I think he was referring more to nationality rather than ethnicity. It doesn’t seem all that complicated to me. It’s like if I questioned you about calling yourself American, saying you’re not because you aren’t Native American. Challening somebody on that at a language exchange that you barely know is super awkward, and kind of rude. Also, linking race to crime rates isn't that simple. Some of the safest areas in Mexico, like Yucatán and Campeche, are predominantly indigenous, while the most dangerous regions have the highest percentages of European ancestry. It's complex. By that logic, Kenya should be a warzone with a sky-high murder rate, but its murder rate is actually similar to Argentina's. South africa has the most white people out of any country in Africa, but is one of the most unsafe. Plenty of other examples.
Exactly, on the other way around, why are people from Argentina or Uruguay considered "Latinos" instead of "white" in the US? It's because Americans have a hard time differentiating race from ethnicity.
Liberal comment. As an English / English Rhodesian person who lives in Paraguay/Argentina and the Balkans when it's summer in Europe. Often most Pakistanis in England identify themselves as Pakistani, in that case, the reason he isn't doing it is because he doesn't want to be seen as a Pakistani in Argentina as he will be seen as less than. He can never be English or of English decent. He could state he is British which would be based on his citizenship. As for South Africa, as Jake says who's committing the crime exactly? No different is former Rhodesia (now Zim), take a look at who they are begging to return? And how expelling the white population has gone for them.
@@JakeRunnelsthis is not truly well thought out from you. A better question is why would the people (presuming they’re black) commit way more crimes in South Africa than in other African countries? What conditions have been changed or are different that cause crime to be committed? I think because you live generally parallel to most communities you only get the worldview that affirms what you’ve been subliminally taught growing up.
@@JakeRunnelsalso no disrespect but your understanding of genetics is flawed. The type of genetic divergence that you act like there is between people that lived in afroeurasia is near impossible bc of the limited isolation period. The only group that might actually be seriously genetically different from the others is the native Americans due to them actually being isolated for a couple thousand years, which is still, by evolutionary standards, a blink of an eye.
With this comment I do not intend to be rude or try to "educate" you on anything, I would simply like to give my perspective on this topic as a Chilean, born and raised in Chile who has lived the last few months in the United States. I want to believe that you made this video without the intention of offending or deliberately generalizing a group of more than 600 million people who live in more than 30 different countries (with different cultures, I should mention), but your point of view only confirms the thought that has the vast majority of the world regarding USians: YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH RACE. (and yes, I call you USians, America is a Continent not a Country). USians love to group Latinamerican countries into a single block, when in reality there are many cultural differences and in some cases they are abysmal. However, what does happen is that Latin countries (colonized by Spain) share the same cultural heritage that includes language, music, clothing, food, Catholicism and many other things, That does not mean we are all the same. People on this side of the world, on a day-to-day basis, are not concerned or interested in talking about the race/ethnicity of their fellow citizens. We usually identify with our common cultural identity and the patriotism we feel for our countries first. I can only speak from my personal experience, and from my specific country, since obviously there is not the same level of genetic mixing as in other countries. The majority of the Chilean population is mestizo, almost 50/50% of genes from natives of South America (example: Mapuches, Aymaras, etc.) and European genes (mainly Spanish). That being said, at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you are dark-skinned with black eyes or blonde with blue eyes, we all identify as Chileans first. Also, I was quite shocked by what you say at minute 4:59, only a USian is capable of saying a comment as strange and prejudiced as that. What's wrong with identifying yourself with your nationality? By that logic I shouldn't call myself a Chilean, I Should call myself Mestizo 🤦♂
USians.... I like the word... me gusta tu palabra. Lo mas divertido de mis estancias en los US fue que siempre tenia que decir... I am Spanish....from Spain.....and Latino too
@@alfaeco15es tan raro el tema racial en EEUU, y (por lo que he visto con mis propios ojos) siguen siendo hoy en día un país muy segregado… recuerdo mi primer día en la cafetería de la universidad en la que estoy haciendo mi intercambio, los blancos sentados con los blancos, los asiáticos con los asiáticos, los latinos con los latinos, etc… No se como será el caso de España, pero en LATAM nadie anda preocupado de su color de piel
Pues ellos se lo pierden, no poderse sentarse al lado de una belleza asiática o latina 😂 En España no nos andamos con semejantes tiqis miquis. Algún que otro idiota si que hay, pero no al nivel y volumen de USA.
Latin America is a multicultural continent, but the most racist are the Argentines. They are all immigrants, grandchildren or children of German Nazis or Italian fascists who fled European justice after the Second World War. All the indigenous people in Argentina were killed by European settlers.
Victimista = zurdito. Cada raza actua diferente en las mismas situaciones. Asi que es importante tener conciencia de cada raza. Y aceptar las digerencias o no!. Obligar a querer algo que no se quiere esta mal. Y no me vengas con que las razas no existen. Ya que las "victimas" son los mas racistas. Y no son nada victiamas. Por ej: emigran a un pais de blancos a pedir o "exigir" igualdad. Pero no van al Amazonas, a Africa, India, o sur asia, a pedir igualdad, son muy selectivos raciales cuando se trata de pedir "igualdad". Se cae de maduro.

if you are born and raised in a country with a particular culture or national identity and as a result you have acquired this culture or national identiy, then you belong to that culture or national identity, irrespective of your ethnic background. This is as obvious as your racist motivations.
Forgive him. He's American. Left Wing Coastal Elites tell us that we must think this way. They'll throw American identity under the bus and replace it with multiculturalism without thinking twice. Very sad.
As a Mexican- American who has lived in London, it's very common for their minority populations to simply identify as "English." I think the US is very unique in putting us in subcategories like Black American, Native American, Mexican-American, Chinese-American, and then "White." It might just be for simplicity sake, but I do find it weird that you reference Argentinians in this conversation (whose family most likely have only been in Argentina for 3-4 generations). Why are we assuming that someone who looks Pakinstani isn't a 3rd or 4th gen Brit? It's almost like you're implying that the only way to identify with a nationality is by sharing the same skin tone with the majority of the population. Would you be hounding a 1st gen Brit of German descent for identifying as a Brit too? And honestly, just to piggy back on what you've been dying to say outloud and just seem to dance around..... Why are more ethnically white places in the Americas more secure? It's weird that you pulled out the Spanish caste system at the beginning of this video and instead of saying something that's honest like, "the people of color in these western countries were systematically oppressed for over 300 years and it shows", you are implying that it's simply because white people are superior. I'm not at all offended with those observations because unfortunately, that is what happens when you oppress marginalized people for centuries and keep them from obtaining jobs, homes and furthering their education. Instead, I wish that you would add some social context to this conversation and not act like this is some sort of winning chip that says "I was right. White people are superior and everyone else is a savage."
English refers to those of Anglish (Anglo-Saxon) descent which come from northern Germany / Southern Scandinavia. I’m not implying anything, but by you assuming it is due to oppression, you are implying that whites are ‘morally’ inferior no? For them to do something so obviously ‘bad’ everywhere and anywhere for hundreds or thousands of years, are whites just naturally bad in your worldview?
@@JakeRunnels Nah dude. I'm not assuming it's due to oppression, it's a fact. The caste system still exists in most of Latin America. Not in the same way but it definitely influences the way that people view each other. I need to insert like 5000 laughing emojis to properly react to your insinuation that I think "whites are naturally bad" in my worldview. No, I don't. I think the history of humanity shows that any group of people in the 1500's would've done the exact same thing that white "colonizers" did. It would beee wayyyy idealistic of me to think that the Aztecs wouldn't have wreaked havoc on any nation that they accidentally discovered, if they had been powerful enough to do so. I'm saying that historical events shape our societies and world views. We are merely by products of what came before us. In the same way that a computer wasn't spontaneously created without previous advancements, All I'm saying is it's not that hard to properly explain the historical context of a country, and why it exists as it does today. It's not racist to point that out through a historical lense, but it is questionable to do that without proper context.

@@JakeRunnels yes it's a coincidence Jake, search for the historic maps, in the 80s the blackest state was safer than your beloved USA or any "white state" in the south. The reason why the state of Bahia is unsafe now is not because they have Melanin in their skin it's because the drug cartels from the southeast are present there now. Do you have any explanation on your racial theory about this information? 🤔😊
I understand you are viewing Latin America with an American glass to race, where there is a clear division between people by their skin color, however from my experience living in Brazil and in Europe, I can say that it’s not the skin color that makes a place more or less civilized, in my view the European Christian culture is what makes this difference, Europeans following Christian/Jewish customs and values has done what no other people has accomplished before, and this culture/values can be transferred to people of other ethnicity and you should expect similar results, however we all know that those values have been constantly attacked and things are decaying ever since. In regard to feeling safer when with Europeans, I guess this is quite common for any human to feel more connected with their ethnicity. Living in the UK I can say that most people that has an immigration background and was born here will consider themselves British, and this identity of who is British or English has been changed, now days anyone can say I’m European, just by being born in here, not that I agree, but the only people to blame are the POLs who let this happen. Europe abandon their Christian religion and culture values, and now it accept anything.
creo la religion es como instalar un programa en una computadora, no todas las computadoras tienen la misma capacidad y velocidad. para que rinda del mismo modo se necesita una computadora igual. encima si queres instalar el mismo programa en linux no funciona, es lo que estan haciendo con los islamicos en paises europeos. y en realidad es color de piel. mientra mas oscuro peor. no importa la raza no soy racista. centroamerica son oscuros y son amerindios, siguiendo el ecuador, esta medio oriente y tambien son de piel oscura y son semitas, siguiendo esta asia, india piel oscura y son creo caucasicos medio asiaticos algunos, despues sur asia oscuros pero asiaticos, hoy creo estos ultimos mejoraron pero creo 50 años atras todos iguales, pobres y con alto indice de crimen. sin importar la raza, solo el color. eso. saludos.
Who are you to say who is truly European and who is not? As far as I'm concerned, European countries are secular and European citizenship is not tied to religion in any form. This comments reeks of Islamophobia and you sound like a very ignorant person. For someone from Brazil, where radical Christian Evangelism is destroying the fabric of society, you seem quick to dismiss your own country's religious and ethnic problems, but instead, you offer completely inaccurate and bigoted opinions on other people's countries.

In the current meta an African or Turk saying he/she is English German etc is talking about nationality not ancestry. Part of me wishes we could claim heritage more in daily life and be explicit but that’s a quick way to be ostracized in most circles. I’m not going to say “I’m Seth of house Botolph of Irish Senegambian and Persian stock “ in real life, most people just want to know that I’m an American from Baltimore Maryland. The middle easterner wasn’t talking about ethnicity/heritage he just meant Englishman in terms of his nationality/passport. England has adopted a lot of the Ellis islands mythos from America and has turned itself into the multicultural basket case of Europe and is the most Americanized country in Europe. If you grew up in Somalia and spoke Somali as your native language and were Muslim maybe some of the more educated leftists would humor you as a Somalian but a lot would give you the side eye. There is a double standard at play to a degree. The middle eastern guy probably can only lay claim to being a londener more than anything else. Most first generation migrants just stick to the main cities anyway and know little of true England. What would you have preferred he called himself in a concise way if not English ? A ”United Kingdomer of Pakistani background”?
Europeans see Americans as Americans no matter how much Americans try to go over to Europe and say that they are "German" or "Irish" or "Italian". When an old stock American goes to Europe and tells a German that he or she is "German", the German is left wondering..."Wow, this 'German' says that they are German despite not speaking a word of the language and barely knows the difference between Berlin and Bremen". I honestly think it is better if people just identify with the country in which they grew up unless they spent a lot of time elsewhere.
Yes, you notice people who will reject their origin and ethnicity if they come from a #sexy country. I see a guy on RUclips. He’s quite obviously of Indian descent, but he was born in Australia so he never talks about India the culture or his ethnicity he just says he’s Australian. England is “sexier” than Pakistan and that’s why this cat was rejecting his heritage and culture.. because it’s less than great for most to be “from” Pakistan in contrast to English. In short, he thinks his English birthplace gives him higher status than Pakistan.
Yeah, they are all looking for an upgrade, easy to see why when you visit their countries/countrymen. Like the bald and bankrupt visit to india, a hellscape... But one can't change their face/dna like that, need to think long term and upgrade by breeding with your more desired ethnicity, can't put on a kimono and call yourself Japanese.
It's not about being "sexy", it's about White countries not being allowed to have ethnic identities. A brown person born in England can call himself "English", meanwhile White Americans living in North America for 400 years are told they are just Europeans living on "stolen land". A White person born in Pakistan, or China, or Nigeria, or Japan would never even try to claim to be Pakistani, Chinese, Nigerian, Japanese. (But the likely next leader of UK Conservative Party is going to be a Nigerian-replacing an Indian...)
Interesting points. I believe heterogenous // ethnically diverse societies are marked by more distrust and higher crime. There's literature on that. That, to me, would explain Colombia's fractured society and increased perception of insecurity. It's a very diverse country which was left to implode when the Spanish fucked off. Furthermore, colonisation really didn't help. I don't think it's too much to do with any one ethnicity behaving a certain way Also, I was born and raised in London to a English mother and an Iranian father. I tell people I'm British - even though I'm technically half 'English'.. you'd have a hard time convincing me you're more English than me if you are born and raised in a place like Canada or the US but are of English ancestry.
People trying to act like you’re racist cause you state facts.. your not mate don’t worry. Pattern recognition and life experiences form your opinions and a lot of people won’t openly agree with what you say but they are thinking the same thing. My mum is brown and my dad white so I can tell you from both perspectives that you are correct that different cultures and countries and religions have certain traits both good and bad. Only the fools act naive
People from the United States and the Northern Hemisphere/Western world (particularly Europe) often struggle to fully grasp that the concept of race varies significantly in other parts of the world. In attempts to understand the social dynamics of different regions, you sometimes project your own biases and frameworks onto vastly different societies. Unfortunately, throughout history, all of Latin America has been subjected to these external standards and racial classification practices. In general, Americans have a tendency to classify and categorize, often separating people based on ethnicity and socio-economic status, assigning labels that reinforce segregation. In the Anglo-American colonies, this form of racism became the foundation of societal structure. In contrast, in Latin America, the prevailing form of racism was based on imposition and assimilation, hence the profound differences in the tapestry and fabric of these regions.
@@JakeRunnels not at all, you're entitled to your own opinion and freedom of expression, plus you're sufficiently capable of critical thinking. It's just that I'd like to make that particular clarification, because honestly the concept of segregation vs imposition, is paramount and key to understand Latin American societies.
@MsElectricLover i at no point claimed what was the causation for anything. I think that is assumed on the part of many of your types. My only point was that it is a reality and one will experience it whilst down here.
Americans have a really weird way to discriminate and categorize people based on their ethnic background. For example, the term "Latino" is used to describe individuals with Latin American heritage even when they were born in the U.S and dont speak a word of spanish or portuguese. They don;t get that to be latino you need to be born in latin america.
Calling some one who is Pakistani as being with "Middle eastern" descent is the funniest shit I have ever heard, just call him a brown person that is legit better.
@@JakeRunnels They are differnet ethnic groups, Pakistanis are closer to hindis than "middle eastern" not even to mention the diversity of ethnicity in the middle east, also they don't even look middle eastern the only shared trait is both of them being brown lmao.
I recently talked about race and dating in Latin America on my channel. Some places in Latin America are better for certain races of men than others. However, if women find you objectively attractive, no matter the country, you will have success.
Man I'm an asian kiwi and have no relations at all to Latin America but recently figured out that their demographics are actually interesting, and as someone who likes food history type shit I've been learning a lot about their food and how different groups of people, nature and time periods affect their food. It's cool as
I’ve ‘met’ people online who will introduce themselves as Canadians, but are actually Indians or Pakistanis who are studying in Canada (and usually they’ve only been there for a couple of months lol). To me, it’s completely reasonable for a person of Pakistani ancestry who was born and raised in Canada or the UK (or maybe not even born, but moved there at a young age and lived most of his life in that other country) to identify as a Canadian or British national, and introduce themselves as such. However it does seem to me that a lot of Indians/Pakistanis are actually embarrassed to be Indian/Pakistanis, or at the very least they feel like saying they are Canadian or British somehow makes them superior or feel more validated. (Which I get tbh, there’s a lot of hate and racism towards Indian/Pakistani people and their culture, but it’s still your ethnicity and your country of origin, not embracing it feels wrong to me.)
@@JakeRunnels In certain states like Bahia, yes, but it is pretty mixed for the most part, but no everywhere in the northeast Even in Bahia, it is still a huge melting pot just more skewed on the side of darker skinned folks.
@@JakeRunnels If you think Northern Brazil is more African, you're not using the same definition of "Northern Brazil" that we use. You're probably thinking of the State of Bahia, which is Northeast. Brazil divides itself into 5 regions, so if someone says "North Brazil", we usually think of the Amazon region, and not the Northeast, which is a separate region. To make it clear, it is like if someone says "Southern USA", when they actually meant California.
Corea del sur y Coreal del norte son literalmente la misma raza - etnia , una es una sociedad moderna y rica donde se desarrolla tecnologia de punta y la otra es una sociedad donde un lider mesianico los tiene en la miseria y economia de subsistente no es la raza, es el sistema , democracia capitalista vs dictadura comunista , lee sobre Botsuana un país del africana negra que es un buen ejemplo de lo que estan logrando.

Middle eastern look like John Rhys Davies? Rowan Atkinson also had a phenotype very diverse from the imagined angle Saxon, more Germanic like you. Also, it seems you are a bit confused about race... Your examples more match the concept of ETHNICITY. The reason people say RACE is a social construct is exactly because they are so broad as to be meaningless Irish and Italians were not considered WHITE race in the US until the early 20th century. Unless it was in the interest of the racists. Like Italians Columbus and Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) discovering the new world.
@@JakeRunnels Yup. Just like I said, Irish and Italians were considered "white" in the US. While some physical traits like skin color, facial features, or hair texture are tied to genetics, they do not correspond to meaningful biological groupings. Modern science demonstrates that there is more genetic diversity within so-called racial groups than between them. Example: Two people classified as "Black" from different parts of the world, such as Nigeria and Haiti, may be more genetically distinct from each other than from someone classified as "White." As I mentioned, your examples to justify belief in race seem to be much more aligned with concepts of ethnicity
@@JakeRunnels You see... the word likely has roots in the Latin word ratio (meaning "reason" or "account"), but there is no clear direct Latin word for "race." The word as used in Romance languages (the source of the English word race) fers to groups of people and animals with common traits. The word is used in the same sense as English BREEDS when talking about animals. Before the 19th century, "race" was used primarily to talk about groups of common descent-like families, tribes, or nations-but it wasn’t tied to biology in the way we think of today. Example: Renaissance writers might talk about a “race of kings” or “race of poets,” meaning a family line or group with a shared heritage. "Race" also referred to linguistic or cultural groups, similar to how we use "ethnicity" today, but it was not based on physical appearance or rigid categories. In earlier European history (like Roman times), a Roman might refer to the Gauls as a people or tribe (using terms like gens or nationes), but the concept of race as we know it today did not exist. Romans grouped others based on territory, culture, or language rather than anything like modern racial categories. This is why even the term "HUMAN RACE" exists... because it's a broader categorization at the level of SPECIES, while you in theory can make it more granular to the level of a tribe. Or that of a FAMILY. PS: this is something entirely different than "gender" Gender can be equivalent to sex, and sex is binary in mammals for the past 250 million years, thus it is not a social construct.
Race is a social construct; it doesn't exist on a genetic level. What you're referring to is ethnicity, which carries more significance and, in some cases, relates to phenotype. I understand that since race is a social construct, you're seeing the world through the lens of that construct in which you were raised, given that you're American, and it's a society deeply divided by this idea of race.
Your perspective is truly thought-provoking. I find myself in alignment with many of the points you have raised. Taking a step back to consider the theory on a broader societal scale, the concept of feeling secure among those who share a similar background is a universal phenomenon that transcends cultural and racial boundaries. For example, the historical experiences of Native Americans highlight how safety and fear were interwoven within their own tribal communities and in interactions with European settlers. Similarly, the African American community, during times of slavery and segregation, sought solace and security among their own, while encountering fear and anxiety in predominantly white environments. Jake, I can see how this perspective might resonate with you, given your own experiences and insights that you bring to the table. It's very natural to feel that Argentina is safer to you incomparison to northern Brazil. Your insights and perspective are truly commendable.
@@JakeRunnelsI mean sure? But Indians are all the natives in the Americas in general, but Mesoamerica happens to be one of the most diverse and developed regions of America, Mayas, Nahuas, Toltecs, Purepechas, they are a truly interesting people
Initially, I expected a thoughtful discussion on race in LATAM, but this video quickly went sour. You seem to suggest or leave it up in the air that race is a natural, biological concept-something long debunked by science, which views race as a social construct with no basis in genetics. Then you imply that racial differences somehow explain 'better infrastructure,' and even link criminality to certain races. When you also just straight up mention your discomfort living around black people, it's hard not to wonder where else your views might lead. Your perspective on race makes me curious about your views on other subjects-like, say, Jewish people and the Holocaust. You might not say it outright, but the patterns in your thinking are very clear.
"Something long debunked" my ass, you can classify every country from shithole to nice and from "brownish" to "whiteish" and the list will match 100% The egalitarian worldview is pure nonsense
Look, I find hard to see a pakistani looking guy as english as I find hard to see him as korean. Being from a country is much more than a passport or a birth cerificate. Specially if you were raised amog people with your same heritage and culture that emigrated together. Being part of a country, being english, argentinian or korean is about the dynamics of living, their personality, the customs, the sense of humor, the accent, the view on life. I hate to see a world where they just mix cultures with no limit. Sometimes like argentina if you mix certain cultures like spanish italian and some native can create a beautiful new culture. But if you mix everything with everything, and everything gets mix up you end up not having any culture at all. I wish the future is not the same everywhere you go.
In Argentina everything is mixed with everything… indigenous people (both from Argentina and from countries neighboring Argentina), Europeans (from everywhere in Europe, not just Spain and Italy), western Asians (Lebanese, Syrian), sub-Saharan Africans, eastern Asians (Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese). The Argentinian culture is indeed the product of Italian-Spanish and indigenous cultures mixing, but Argentinians are not exclusively those ethnicities. The difference between Argentina and some other countries, is that when a person (regardless of where they are from) comes to Argentina, they adopt and embrace the Argentinian culture. Argentina (and its culture) has that effect on people, once you lived in Argentina, even if just for a year or even months, you become a little bit Argentinian yourself. That’s why nowadays people in Syria drink Yerba Mate 🧉 and it’s become part of their culture (hundreds of thousands of Syrians in the last century migrated to Argentina. Some stayed, but some others returned to Syria and they brought back with them the custom of drinking Mate). An other example are Asians. It was ‘tougher’ with them, but after 1 or 2 generations, all of them completely integrate into mainstream Argentinian society and culture, and it’s not uncommon for Asians to date non-Asians (it has always boggled me so much why don’t Americans commonly date between ethnicities and if the do it seems to be a very big deal to them and their families. In Argentina, people have always dated whomever they fell for, the concept of dating outside or inside of your race does simply not exist here. And the fact that for Americans it feels ‘natural’ that people date and marry within their own ethnicity feels f-ed up to me. But at the end of the day, that’s their culture. In the US thats what people expect of you, to date and marry people of your same race.
I am Argentinean, and I can tell you that any person with Argentinean citizenship is Argentinean regardless where they grew up or where born. Americans are always looking at race. The concept of race was invented by humans and does not have a biological basis , it is just a social construct.
@@JakeRunnels lol Nature does not recognize these arbitrary divisions. From a biological standpoint, all humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens

@@JakeRunnels well yes, if one seggregates another based purely on race, regardless of language, culture, national identity, religion, beliefs, and everything else that constitutes your demonym, then such person is a racist, not because disagreeing with me, but by racism definition.
@GustavoMerchan79 and being labeled that would be bad, yes? So you are morally superior to everyone who doesn’t share your definition of what their in group is? Which would likely be a majority of the planet, quite pretentious of you. And also, since I was born in America, that makes me Native American yes? It’s been over 200 years since my people have been here. Would you consider it stolen land?
Don't get me started with the use of America as the name of your country and the use of American as your demonym. Both I find very insulting and totally Imperialistic and it just shows how the US loves to appropriate everything. I'm from Argentina and I'm also Hungarian and I personally dislike that in the US you use Latin American and Hispanic as synonyms. Which they aren't. I'm Latin American but I'm not Hispanic. Also, the misuse of the word Latino bothers me so much. I get the shorthand for Latin American to be Latino but Latino refers to everyone that speaks a Latin language and that includes Europeans and African that speak a Latin language. So there is a difference between Latino and Latino. I explain this to a Usonian and their mind explodes. And yes, laugh about the word Usonian. I'm not going to call you American, are you kidding me? Not after being called to my face that I'm not American and that I'm not Latin American either because I'm TOO WHITE. And I would also add that I also feel safer living in Recoleta than I would living in Mataderos. It's just a reality. It's like saying you have to feel safe living in Manhattan and in Harlem. I think we all agree that living in Harlem or the Bronx is not the same and that you can extrapolate that to countries. Argentina is a million times safer than Mexico o Colombia o Venezuela or even Brazil. Ans yes, it has to do with skin color because like it or not the places where you get robbed it's always people of darker skin color that steal from me. I have no shame talkin about reality. I do believe that we are all the same, humans all have the same worth but I'm not blind to reality. Also in the case of Argentina at least. Poor people like to stay poor. They vote for poverty, they romanticize poverty, they make the people that are better off like the bad guys but then they don't want to go to school, they don't want to work, they just want handouts of the government because they are poor and you have more so you have to give me more. But this topic is very nuanced and I can't write and explain everything in a comment. Also, we are Argentinians we aren't Italo Argentinians like you call yourselves in the US - Italian -Americans. That is just nonsense. Or go to Italy and think that you are Italian or Irish or whatever. You are just Usonian/Us Americans and nothing more. We don't classify people by race, we might classify them by class but not by race. I don't have to fill in a checkbox with my race every time I have to do paperwork for something.
@@JakeRunnels Well...what can I say. You want to know what other people think but don't care to read it. I just watched your 14.36 min video. So the least you can do is read my comment.
@veritorossi it seems at one point you acknowledged that it’s a reality while also saying it’s a social construct. I also don’t think anyone calls the French Latinos. It’s a lot of semantic arguments for what is a really basic point made, that genes are real and predeterministic to some degree, this makes everyone uncomfortable because it takes away this imagination of limitless agency that delusional postmodernists cherish so much.
@@JakeRunnels In Argentina we don't have to fill in a check box stating our race to do anything. I had to fill in a check box about my race to do a dumb Google course. See the difference? And it was wrong because the options were Hispanic, Latino or Spanish Origin (this is all wrong) / White / Asian / American Indian or Alaskan Native / Native Hawaiian and or Pacific Islander / Other Indigenous, Native / Middle Eastern or North African / Other race / Unknown. I don't know about you but to me it's wrong to 1. Have to say what race or ethnicity I am and second they are all wrong. Hispanic is of Spanish Origin. You don't like to read long comments but I could write and essay from this alone. So which one should I check? Latino? White? Because I'm not Hispanic or Spanish but I'm Latin American. Get what I mean? You way of looking at race is all wrong. French is a Latin language hence Latino.
@veritorossi i have no issue with saying that I am a white American of majority Anglo and minority polish descent, or just that I am of European descent. Not sure why a google sheet would ask for it though.
Race? ...Like more spicies than Homo Sapiens? New continent? Maybe institutional inequality or results of colonialism (and not only western European Colonialism) are maybe the words you're looking for instead of race. Argentines are famous for institutional racism internalized in their culture... Even more so than other places in Latin America... And maybe that's why they have such poor economical performance despite a huge potential. Just the idea of race is racist. "Unsafe places" are just consequence of institutional violence. Just like when people complain about terrorism from "radicals" from "poor cointries" but not complain about US bombing the hell out of Vietnam or Afganistan, but no, that doesn't count as terrorism.

@veritorossi are you sure
@@JakeRunnels Of course I'm sure.
Haha, yeah, not so sure. I think the Pakistani guy was calling himself an Englishman because he was born and raised in England. I get what you're saying, but I think he was referring more to nationality rather than ethnicity. It doesn’t seem all that complicated to me. It’s like if I questioned you about calling yourself American, saying you’re not because you aren’t Native American. Challening somebody on that at a language exchange that you barely know is super awkward, and kind of rude. Also, linking race to crime rates isn't that simple. Some of the safest areas in Mexico, like Yucatán and Campeche, are predominantly indigenous, while the most dangerous regions have the highest percentages of European ancestry. It's complex. By that logic, Kenya should be a warzone with a sky-high murder rate, but its murder rate is actually similar to Argentina's. South africa has the most white people out of any country in Africa, but is one of the most unsafe. Plenty of other examples.
Exactly, on the other way around, why are people from Argentina or Uruguay considered "Latinos" instead of "white" in the US? It's because Americans have a hard time differentiating race from ethnicity.
Who’s committing that crime in South Africa?
Liberal comment. As an English / English Rhodesian person who lives in Paraguay/Argentina and the Balkans when it's summer in Europe. Often most Pakistanis in England identify themselves as Pakistani, in that case, the reason he isn't doing it is because he doesn't want to be seen as a Pakistani in Argentina as he will be seen as less than. He can never be English or of English decent. He could state he is British which would be based on his citizenship. As for South Africa, as Jake says who's committing the crime exactly? No different is former Rhodesia (now Zim), take a look at who they are begging to return? And how expelling the white population has gone for them.
@@JakeRunnelsthis is not truly well thought out from you. A better question is why would the people (presuming they’re black) commit way more crimes in South Africa than in other African countries? What conditions have been changed or are different that cause crime to be committed? I think because you live generally parallel to most communities you only get the worldview that affirms what you’ve been subliminally taught growing up.
@@JakeRunnelsalso no disrespect but your understanding of genetics is flawed. The type of genetic divergence that you act like there is between people that lived in afroeurasia is near impossible bc of the limited isolation period. The only group that might actually be seriously genetically different from the others is the native Americans due to them actually being isolated for a couple thousand years, which is still, by evolutionary standards, a blink of an eye.
Thing is, people in Latinamerica don't care about race, just about nationality. Why that could be interpreted as a bad thing escapes me
Idk if that’s true but no one said it would be bad
@@JakeRunnels ik lol. Some people just view it in a bad way and i don't get it xd
Anyway, have a beer ➡🍺
With this comment I do not intend to be rude or try to "educate" you on anything, I would simply like to give my perspective on this topic as a Chilean, born and raised in Chile who has lived the last few months in the United States.
I want to believe that you made this video without the intention of offending or deliberately generalizing a group of more than 600 million people who live in more than 30 different countries (with different cultures, I should mention), but your point of view only confirms the thought that has the vast majority of the world regarding USians: YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH RACE. (and yes, I call you USians, America is a Continent not a Country).
USians love to group Latinamerican countries into a single block, when in reality there are many cultural differences and in some cases they are abysmal. However, what does happen is that Latin countries (colonized by Spain) share the same cultural heritage that includes language, music, clothing, food, Catholicism and many other things, That does not mean we are all the same.
People on this side of the world, on a day-to-day basis, are not concerned or interested in talking about the race/ethnicity of their fellow citizens. We usually identify with our common cultural identity and the patriotism we feel for our countries first.
I can only speak from my personal experience, and from my specific country, since obviously there is not the same level of genetic mixing as in other countries. The majority of the Chilean population is mestizo, almost 50/50% of genes from natives of South America (example: Mapuches, Aymaras, etc.) and European genes (mainly Spanish). That being said, at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you are dark-skinned with black eyes or blonde with blue eyes, we all identify as Chileans first.
Also, I was quite shocked by what you say at minute 4:59, only a USian is capable of saying a comment as strange and prejudiced as that. What's wrong with identifying yourself with your nationality? By that logic I shouldn't call myself a Chilean, I Should call myself Mestizo 🤦♂

Latin America is a multicultural continent, but the most racist are the Argentines. They are all immigrants, grandchildren or children of German Nazis or Italian fascists who fled European justice after the Second World War. All the indigenous people in Argentina were killed by European settlers.

if you are born and raised in a country with a particular culture or national identity and as a result you have acquired this culture or national identiy, then you belong to that culture or national identity, irrespective of your ethnic background. This is as obvious as your racist motivations.
Forgive him. He's American. Left Wing Coastal Elites tell us that we must think this way. They'll throw American identity under the bus and replace it with multiculturalism without thinking twice. Very sad.
10:46 WOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAHHAHHHHAAA For a North American to say that is no small thing. You have guts.
As a Mexican- American who has lived in London, it's very common for their minority populations to simply identify as "English." I think the US is very unique in putting us in subcategories like Black American, Native American, Mexican-American, Chinese-American, and then "White." It might just be for simplicity sake, but I do find it weird that you reference Argentinians in this conversation (whose family most likely have only been in Argentina for 3-4 generations). Why are we assuming that someone who looks Pakinstani isn't a 3rd or 4th gen Brit? It's almost like you're implying that the only way to identify with a nationality is by sharing the same skin tone with the majority of the population. Would you be hounding a 1st gen Brit of German descent for identifying as a Brit too?
And honestly, just to piggy back on what you've been dying to say outloud and just seem to dance around..... Why are more ethnically white places in the Americas more secure? It's weird that you pulled out the Spanish caste system at the beginning of this video and instead of saying something that's honest like, "the people of color in these western countries were systematically oppressed for over 300 years and it shows", you are implying that it's simply because white people are superior.
I'm not at all offended with those observations because unfortunately, that is what happens when you oppress marginalized people for centuries and keep them from obtaining jobs, homes and furthering their education. Instead, I wish that you would add some social context to this conversation and not act like this is some sort of winning chip that says "I was right. White people are superior and everyone else is a savage."
English refers to those of Anglish (Anglo-Saxon) descent which come from northern Germany / Southern Scandinavia.
I’m not implying anything, but by you assuming it is due to oppression, you are implying that whites are ‘morally’ inferior no? For them to do something so obviously ‘bad’ everywhere and anywhere for hundreds or thousands of years, are whites just naturally bad in your worldview?
@@JakeRunnels Nah dude. I'm not assuming it's due to oppression, it's a fact. The caste system still exists in most of Latin America. Not in the same way but it definitely influences the way that people view each other.
I need to insert like 5000 laughing emojis to properly react to your insinuation that I think "whites are naturally bad" in my worldview. No, I don't. I think the history of humanity shows that any group of people in the 1500's would've done the exact same thing that white "colonizers" did. It would beee wayyyy idealistic of me to think that the Aztecs wouldn't have wreaked havoc on any nation that they accidentally discovered, if they had been powerful enough to do so.
I'm saying that historical events shape our societies and world views. We are merely by products of what came before us. In the same way that a computer wasn't spontaneously created without previous advancements,
All I'm saying is it's not that hard to properly explain the historical context of a country, and why it exists as it does today. It's not racist to point that out through a historical lense, but it is questionable to do that without proper context.

The reason why the state of Bahia is unsafe now is not because they have Melanin in their skin it's because the drug cartels from the southeast are present there now.
Do you have any explanation on your racial theory about this information?
🤔😊
I understand you are viewing Latin America with an American glass to race, where there is a clear division between people by their skin color, however from my experience living in Brazil and in Europe, I can say that it’s not the skin color that makes a place more or less civilized, in my view the European Christian culture is what makes this difference, Europeans following Christian/Jewish customs and values has done what no other people has accomplished before, and this culture/values can be transferred to people of other ethnicity and you should expect similar results, however we all know that those values have been constantly attacked and things are decaying ever since. In regard to feeling safer when with Europeans, I guess this is quite common for any human to feel more connected with their ethnicity. Living in the UK I can say that most people that has an immigration background and was born here will consider themselves British, and this identity of who is British or English has been changed, now days anyone can say I’m European, just by being born in here, not that I agree, but the only people to blame are the POLs who let this happen. Europe abandon their Christian religion and culture values, and now it accept anything.
creo la religion es como instalar un programa en una computadora, no todas las computadoras tienen la misma capacidad y velocidad. para que rinda del mismo modo se necesita una computadora igual. encima si queres instalar el mismo programa en linux no funciona, es lo que estan haciendo con los islamicos en paises europeos.

Who are you to say who is truly European and who is not? As far as I'm concerned, European countries are secular and European citizenship is not tied to religion in any form. This comments reeks of Islamophobia and you sound like a very ignorant person. For someone from Brazil, where radical Christian Evangelism is destroying the fabric of society, you seem quick to dismiss your own country's religious and ethnic problems, but instead, you offer completely inaccurate and bigoted opinions on other people's countries.

1:56 correction, the state with highest murder rate is RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, in the northeast, and funny enough it's the state with more white admixture in the region.😂
But anyways I understand this video is a rage bait like all the videos you make, it's just to clarify for the people reading.
I dont think I said which state had highest murder rate just that it was in the north east.
In the current meta an African or Turk saying he/she is English German etc is talking about nationality not ancestry. Part of me wishes we could claim heritage more in daily life and be explicit but that’s a quick way to be ostracized in most circles. I’m not going to say “I’m Seth of house Botolph of Irish Senegambian and Persian stock “ in real life, most people just want to know that I’m an American from Baltimore Maryland. The middle easterner wasn’t talking about ethnicity/heritage he just meant Englishman in terms of his nationality/passport. England has adopted a lot of the Ellis islands mythos from America and has turned itself into the multicultural basket case of Europe and is the most Americanized country in Europe. If you grew up in Somalia and spoke Somali as your native language and were Muslim maybe some of the more educated leftists would humor you as a Somalian but a lot would give you the side eye. There is a double standard at play to a degree. The middle eastern guy probably can only lay claim to being a londener more than anything else. Most first generation migrants just stick to the main cities anyway and know little of true England. What would you have preferred he called himself in a concise way if not English ? A ”United Kingdomer of Pakistani background”?
Exactly. I'm a brit of Scottish and Persian ancestry. I appreciate the genetic advantages that come with mixed ancestry but identity can be a bitch.
Europeans see Americans as Americans no matter how much Americans try to go over to Europe and say that they are "German" or "Irish" or "Italian". When an old stock American goes to Europe and tells a German that he or she is "German", the German is left wondering..."Wow, this 'German' says that they are German despite not speaking a word of the language and barely knows the difference between Berlin and Bremen". I honestly think it is better if people just identify with the country in which they grew up unless they spent a lot of time elsewhere.
Yes, you notice people who will reject their origin and ethnicity if they come from a #sexy country. I see a guy on RUclips. He’s quite obviously of Indian descent, but he was born in Australia so he never talks about India the culture or his ethnicity he just says he’s Australian. England is “sexier” than Pakistan and that’s why this cat was rejecting his heritage and culture.. because it’s less than great for most to be “from” Pakistan in contrast to English. In short, he thinks his English birthplace gives him higher status than Pakistan.
Yeah, they are all looking for an upgrade, easy to see why when you visit their countries/countrymen.
Like the bald and bankrupt visit to india, a hellscape...
But one can't change their face/dna like that, need to think long term and upgrade by breeding with your more desired ethnicity, can't put on a kimono and call yourself Japanese.
Yep
It's not about being "sexy", it's about White countries not being allowed to have ethnic identities. A brown person born in England can call himself "English", meanwhile White Americans living in North America for 400 years are told they are just Europeans living on "stolen land".
A White person born in Pakistan, or China, or Nigeria, or Japan would never even try to claim to be Pakistani, Chinese, Nigerian, Japanese. (But the likely next leader of UK Conservative Party is going to be a Nigerian-replacing an Indian...)
It could also just be because if you're born and raised somewhere, that's what you know, that's what you are.
Interesting points. I believe heterogenous // ethnically diverse societies are marked by more distrust and higher crime. There's literature on that. That, to me, would explain
Colombia's fractured society and increased perception of insecurity. It's a very diverse country which was left to implode when the Spanish fucked off. Furthermore, colonisation really didn't help. I don't think it's too much to do with any one ethnicity behaving a certain way
Also, I was born and raised in London to a English mother and an Iranian father. I tell people I'm
British - even though I'm technically half 'English'.. you'd have a hard time convincing me you're more English than me if you are born and raised in a place like Canada or the US but are of English ancestry.
People trying to act like you’re racist cause you state facts.. your not mate don’t worry. Pattern recognition and life experiences form your opinions and a lot of people won’t openly agree with what you say but they are thinking the same thing. My mum is brown and my dad white so I can tell you from both perspectives that you are correct that different cultures and countries and religions have certain traits both good and bad. Only the fools act naive
People from the United States and the Northern Hemisphere/Western world (particularly Europe) often struggle to fully grasp that the concept of race varies significantly in other parts of the world. In attempts to understand the social dynamics of different regions, you sometimes project your own biases and frameworks onto vastly different societies. Unfortunately, throughout history, all of Latin America has been subjected to these external standards and racial classification practices. In general, Americans have a tendency to classify and categorize, often separating people based on ethnicity and socio-economic status, assigning labels that reinforce segregation. In the Anglo-American colonies, this form of racism became the foundation of societal structure. In contrast, in Latin America, the prevailing form of racism was based on imposition and assimilation, hence the profound differences in the tapestry and fabric of these regions.
Are you projecting your own biases and frameworks onto my viewpoints?
@@JakeRunnels not at all, you're entitled to your own opinion and freedom of expression, plus you're sufficiently capable of critical thinking. It's just that I'd like to make that particular clarification, because honestly the concept of segregation vs imposition, is paramount and key to understand Latin American societies.
@MsElectricLover i at no point claimed what was the causation for anything. I think that is assumed on the part of many of your types. My only point was that it is a reality and one will experience it whilst down here.
Americans have a really weird way to discriminate and categorize people based on their ethnic background. For example, the term "Latino" is used to describe individuals with Latin American heritage even when they were born in the U.S and dont speak a word of spanish or portuguese. They don;t get that to be latino you need to be born in latin america.

I’ve ‘met’ people online who will introduce themselves as Canadians, but are actually Indians or Pakistanis who are studying in Canada (and usually they’ve only been there for a couple of months lol).
To me, it’s completely reasonable for a person of Pakistani ancestry who was born and raised in Canada or the UK (or maybe not even born, but moved there at a young age and lived most of his life in that other country) to identify as a Canadian or British national, and introduce themselves as such.
However it does seem to me that a lot of Indians/Pakistanis are actually embarrassed to be Indian/Pakistanis, or at the very least they feel like saying they are Canadian or British somehow makes them superior or feel more validated. (Which I get tbh, there’s a lot of hate and racism towards Indian/Pakistani people and their culture, but it’s still your ethnicity and your country of origin, not embracing it feels wrong to me.)

@@JakeRunnels If you think Northern Brazil is more African, you're not using the same definition of "Northern Brazil" that we use. You're probably thinking of the State of Bahia, which is Northeast. Brazil divides itself into 5 regions, so if someone says "North Brazil", we usually think of the Amazon region, and not the Northeast, which is a separate region.

Colombia's fractured society and increased perception of insecurity. It's a very diverse country which was left to implode when the Spanish fucked off. Furthermore, colonisation really didn't help. I don't think it's too much to do with any one ethnicity behaving a certain way
Also, I was born and raised in London to a English mother and an Iranian father. I tell people I'm
British - even though I'm technically half 'English'.. you'd have a hard time convincing me you're more English than me if you are born and raised in a place like Canada or the US but are of English ancestry.
“Democratic” diverse societies, sure. There was seldom rampant crime in heterogeneous, but traditional or monarchical societies.
This is not the best place to discuss these things, they are going to delete all the comments in favor of the video and even the likes. elon network is a better place
Middle eastern look like John Rhys Davies?
Rowan Atkinson also had a phenotype very diverse from the imagined angle Saxon, more Germanic like you.
Also, it seems you are a bit confused about race... Your examples more match the concept of ETHNICITY.
The reason people say RACE is a social construct is exactly because they are so broad as to be meaningless
Irish and Italians were not considered WHITE race in the US until the early 20th century.
Unless it was in the interest of the racists. Like Italians Columbus and Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) discovering the new world.
It's a social construct?
@@JakeRunnels Yup. Just like I said, Irish and Italians were considered "white" in the US.
While some physical traits like skin color, facial features, or hair texture are tied to genetics, they do not correspond to meaningful biological groupings. Modern science demonstrates that there is more genetic diversity within so-called racial groups than between them.
Example: Two people classified as "Black" from different parts of the world, such as Nigeria and Haiti, may be more genetically distinct from each other than from someone classified as "White."
As I mentioned, your examples to justify belief in race seem to be much more aligned with concepts of ethnicity
@@JakeRunnels You see... the word likely has roots in the Latin word ratio (meaning "reason" or "account"), but there is no clear direct Latin word for "race."
The word as used in Romance languages (the source of the English word race) fers to groups of people and animals with common traits. The word is used in the same sense as English BREEDS when talking about animals.
Before the 19th century, "race" was used primarily to talk about groups of common descent-like families, tribes, or nations-but it wasn’t tied to biology in the way we think of today.
Example: Renaissance writers might talk about a “race of kings” or “race of poets,” meaning a family line or group with a shared heritage.
"Race" also referred to linguistic or cultural groups, similar to how we use "ethnicity" today, but it was not based on physical appearance or rigid categories.
In earlier European history (like Roman times), a Roman might refer to the Gauls as a people or tribe (using terms like gens or nationes), but the concept of race as we know it today did not exist. Romans grouped others based on territory, culture, or language rather than anything like modern racial categories.
This is why even the term "HUMAN RACE" exists... because it's a broader categorization at the level of SPECIES, while you in theory can make it more granular to the level of a tribe.
Or that of a FAMILY.
PS: this is something entirely different than "gender" Gender can be equivalent to sex, and sex is binary in mammals for the past 250 million years, thus it is not a social construct.
@rogeriopenna9014 i disagree with all of that pretty much
@@JakeRunnels You disagree sex is biological and binary in mammals for the last 250 million years?
Race is a social construct; it doesn't exist on a genetic level. What you're referring to is ethnicity, which carries more significance and, in some cases, relates to phenotype. I understand that since race is a social construct, you're seeing the world through the lens of that construct in which you were raised, given that you're American, and it's a society deeply divided by this idea of race.

They almost want to blame you for being safe around people that look like you. You can't make those weirdos happy. Stay true to yourself
Yep!!
The worst part is that they do this only to whites. Being safe around people that look like them is encouraged for non-whites and almost celebrated.
Lots of resentful people in the comments. Greetings, King
Thanks 👑
Humanities is very important, dont be like Jake kids.

Do you blood test these people? How did you get this data?

Your perspective is truly thought-provoking. I find myself in alignment with many of the points you have raised. Taking a step back to consider the theory on a broader societal scale, the concept of feeling secure among those who share a similar background is a universal phenomenon that transcends cultural and racial boundaries. For example, the historical experiences of Native Americans highlight how safety and fear were interwoven within their own tribal communities and in interactions with European settlers. Similarly, the African American community, during times of slavery and segregation, sought solace and security among their own, while encountering fear and anxiety in predominantly white environments. Jake, I can see how this perspective might resonate with you, given your own experiences and insights that you bring to the table. It's very natural to feel that Argentina is safer to you incomparison to northern Brazil. Your insights and perspective are truly commendable.
tambien podria ser que del norte de Brasil y de Mexico salen miles de videos que llenan las paginas de gore
Cheers from Blumenau mate 🇩🇪🍻🇧🇷
Thanks for including all the charts and maps

Human Biodiversity is a fascinating topic.
Brother it is so obvious you know nothing about the cosmic race
let's hear it
Los Vascos, espcialment los de Bilbao, son un caso especial. "Nacemos donde nos salen los cojones"
I live in Africa. We see the same here in Africa.
I think you need a better research. mesoamerica is geographical place, not ethnic group
indians?
@@JakeRunnelsI mean sure? But Indians are all the natives in the Americas in general, but Mesoamerica happens to be one of the most diverse and developed regions of America, Mayas, Nahuas, Toltecs, Purepechas, they are a truly interesting people
Initially, I expected a thoughtful discussion on race in LATAM, but this video quickly went sour.
You seem to suggest or leave it up in the air that race is a natural, biological concept-something long debunked by science, which views race as a social construct with no basis in genetics. Then you imply that racial differences somehow explain 'better infrastructure,' and even link criminality to certain races.
When you also just straight up mention your discomfort living around black people, it's hard not to wonder where else your views might lead. Your perspective on race makes me curious about your views on other subjects-like, say, Jewish people and the Holocaust. You might not say it outright, but the patterns in your thinking are very clear.
Please cite your sources
"Something long debunked" my ass, you can classify every country from shithole to nice and from "brownish" to "whiteish" and the list will match 100%
The egalitarian worldview is pure nonsense
Yeah you blend in there
Look, I find hard to see a pakistani looking guy as english as I find hard to see him as korean. Being from a country is much more than a passport or a birth cerificate. Specially if you were raised amog people with your same heritage and culture that emigrated together. Being part of a country, being english, argentinian or korean is about the dynamics of living, their personality, the customs, the sense of humor, the accent, the view on life. I hate to see a world where they just mix cultures with no limit. Sometimes like argentina if you mix certain cultures like spanish italian and some native can create a beautiful new culture. But if you mix everything with everything, and everything gets mix up you end up not having any culture at all. I wish the future is not the same everywhere you go.
In Argentina everything is mixed with everything… indigenous people (both from Argentina and from countries neighboring Argentina), Europeans (from everywhere in Europe, not just Spain and Italy), western Asians (Lebanese, Syrian), sub-Saharan Africans, eastern Asians (Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese). The Argentinian culture is indeed the product of Italian-Spanish and indigenous cultures mixing, but Argentinians are not exclusively those ethnicities.
The difference between Argentina and some other countries, is that when a person (regardless of where they are from) comes to Argentina, they adopt and embrace the Argentinian culture. Argentina (and its culture) has that effect on people, once you lived in Argentina, even if just for a year or even months, you become a little bit Argentinian yourself. That’s why nowadays people in Syria drink Yerba Mate 🧉 and it’s become part of their culture (hundreds of thousands of Syrians in the last century migrated to Argentina. Some stayed, but some others returned to Syria and they brought back with them the custom of drinking Mate).
An other example are Asians. It was ‘tougher’ with them, but after 1 or 2 generations, all of them completely integrate into mainstream Argentinian society and culture, and it’s not uncommon for Asians to date non-Asians (it has always boggled me so much why don’t Americans commonly date between ethnicities and if the do it seems to be a very big deal to them and their families. In Argentina, people have always dated whomever they fell for, the concept of dating outside or inside of your race does simply not exist here. And the fact that for Americans it feels ‘natural’ that people date and marry within their own ethnicity feels f-ed up to me. But at the end of the day, that’s their culture. In the US thats what people expect of you, to date and marry people of your same race.
I am Argentinean, and I can tell you that any person with Argentinean citizenship is Argentinean regardless where they grew up or where born. Americans are always looking at race. The concept of race was invented by humans and does not have a biological basis , it is just a social construct.
se nota que sos marron
It was invented by nature, since humans are a part of nature
@@JakeRunnels lol Nature does not recognize these arbitrary divisions. From a biological standpoint, all humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens
@@JakeRunnels Nature does not recognize arbitrary divisions like race
@@JakeRunnels From a biological standpoint all humans are Homo sapiens,
As a puertorrican with american citizenship but of a really complex and mixed latino/spanish heritage I think this was a really interesting and well informed. Don't know why people are throwing a bit of shade your way as if this wasn't talked about in other countries and only a topic in the US. Good video overall.
Yes, if you had been born and raised in china, then as unlikely as it might be, you would be chinese, with whatever european ethnic background. So according to your thinking, african-americans should be african and not american.
Do you think the Chinese would agree with your definition? Do they have a right to disagree?
@@JakeRunnels Some might, some might not. Poll for percentages to find out. They have the right to disagree and I have the right to think they are probably racists, or at least confused, if they do.
@GustavoMerchan79 cmon be specific, what percentage of Chinese do you think would agree with you on your definition of Chinese? What about Russians? The Zulus?
Is everyone that disagrees with you a racist?
@@JakeRunnels well yes, if one seggregates another based purely on race, regardless of language, culture, national identity, religion, beliefs, and everything else that constitutes your demonym, then such person is a racist, not because disagreeing with me, but by racism definition.
@GustavoMerchan79 and being labeled that would be bad, yes?
So you are morally superior to everyone who doesn’t share your definition of what their in group is? Which would likely be a majority of the planet, quite pretentious of you.
And also, since I was born in America, that makes me Native American yes?
It’s been over 200 years since my people have been here. Would you consider it stolen land?
Bad take!
Disagree
Great take.
Thank you for speaking your mind! By the way, what is your ethinic background?
Mostly Anglo-Saxon with a bit of polish
Don't get me started with the use of America as the name of your country and the use of American as your demonym. Both I find very insulting and totally Imperialistic and it just shows how the US loves to appropriate everything. I'm from Argentina and I'm also Hungarian and I personally dislike that in the US you use Latin American and Hispanic as synonyms. Which they aren't. I'm Latin American but I'm not Hispanic. Also, the misuse of the word Latino bothers me so much. I get the shorthand for Latin American to be Latino but Latino refers to everyone that speaks a Latin language and that includes Europeans and African that speak a Latin language. So there is a difference between Latino and Latino. I explain this to a Usonian and their mind explodes. And yes, laugh about the word Usonian. I'm not going to call you American, are you kidding me? Not after being called to my face that I'm not American and that I'm not Latin American either because I'm TOO WHITE. And I would also add that I also feel safer living in Recoleta than I would living in Mataderos. It's just a reality. It's like saying you have to feel safe living in Manhattan and in Harlem. I think we all agree that living in Harlem or the Bronx is not the same and that you can extrapolate that to countries. Argentina is a million times safer than Mexico o Colombia o Venezuela or even Brazil. Ans yes, it has to do with skin color because like it or not the places where you get robbed it's always people of darker skin color that steal from me. I have no shame talkin about reality. I do believe that we are all the same, humans all have the same worth but I'm not blind to reality. Also in the case of Argentina at least. Poor people like to stay poor. They vote for poverty, they romanticize poverty, they make the people that are better off like the bad guys but then they don't want to go to school, they don't want to work, they just want handouts of the government because they are poor and you have more so you have to give me more. But this topic is very nuanced and I can't write and explain everything in a comment. Also, we are Argentinians we aren't Italo Argentinians like you call yourselves in the US - Italian -Americans. That is just nonsense. Or go to Italy and think that you are Italian or Irish or whatever. You are just Usonian/Us Americans and nothing more. We don't classify people by race, we might classify them by class but not by race. I don't have to fill in a checkbox with my race every time I have to do paperwork for something.
No way I’m reading all of that
@@JakeRunnels Well...what can I say. You want to know what other people think but don't care to read it. I just watched your 14.36 min video. So the least you can do is read my comment.
@veritorossi it seems at one point you acknowledged that it’s a reality while also saying it’s a social construct. I also don’t think anyone calls the French Latinos.
It’s a lot of semantic arguments for what is a really basic point made, that genes are real and predeterministic to some degree, this makes everyone uncomfortable because it takes away this imagination of limitless agency that delusional postmodernists cherish so much.
@@JakeRunnels In Argentina we don't have to fill in a check box stating our race to do anything. I had to fill in a check box about my race to do a dumb Google course. See the difference? And it was wrong because the options were Hispanic, Latino or Spanish Origin (this is all wrong) / White / Asian / American Indian or Alaskan Native / Native Hawaiian and or Pacific Islander / Other Indigenous, Native / Middle Eastern or North African / Other race / Unknown. I don't know about you but to me it's wrong to 1. Have to say what race or ethnicity I am and second they are all wrong. Hispanic is of Spanish Origin. You don't like to read long comments but I could write and essay from this alone. So which one should I check? Latino? White? Because I'm not Hispanic or Spanish but I'm Latin American. Get what I mean? You way of looking at race is all wrong. French is a Latin language hence Latino.
@veritorossi i have no issue with saying that I am a white American of majority Anglo and minority polish descent, or just that I am of European descent. Not sure why a google sheet would ask for it though.
Race? ...Like more spicies than Homo Sapiens? New continent? Maybe institutional inequality or results of colonialism (and not only western European Colonialism) are maybe the words you're looking for instead of race. Argentines are famous for institutional racism internalized in their culture... Even more so than other places in Latin America... And maybe that's why they have such poor economical performance despite a huge potential. Just the idea of race is racist. "Unsafe places" are just consequence of institutional violence. Just like when people complain about terrorism from "radicals" from "poor cointries" but not complain about US bombing the hell out of Vietnam or Afganistan, but no, that doesn't count as terrorism.
Argentina tiene clasismo pero afortunadamente muy poca gente es racista como lo es en norte america
niggas always crying about meh colonialism racism whatever
argentina no es blanca pelotudo, es pobre porque esta lleno de negros y los kukas. aparte que carajo tiene que ver eso con el desempeño economico
Argentina es más racista que el resto de Latinoamérica? Me ofendería, pero viniendo de un colombiano me imagino que es un chiste nada más.
los zurdos y negros les dicen racista a quienes no se dejan robar.
argentina its brown, i wish it was white but its not
Lol
