Hi juiblee
Yes
Race =/= ethnicity/culture/nationality.
Why did you bring these uneducated people, who don't know the difference between race,ethnicity and nationality
Many of these are multicultural but not necessarily multiracial. There are people who identify by their nations and not race.
STRUGGLE OF BEING MIXED: The white side of the family see’s the black in me and the black side of the family see’s the white in me.
👏👏👏Fr
Facts
trippy_ nation relatable expect with my Asian and black side
Truth
I could not agree more seriously
I feel like race and ethnicity get mixed up between a lot of people
Me to , it drives me crazy that race being made up is pushed so hard and not ethnicity. But we're all indoctrinated I guess
mich weera
Obviously? African-Americans are a mix of different west African ethnicities, tribes etc. same with white Americans that have Scottish, English, Irish, Italian etc. ancestry and Latinos that tend to be triracial (native Indian, African, European).
Hayden Baku he said his dads Australia then later said he’s white
mich weera What make those two different? I don’t know.
Especially Jewish. I’m Jewish, but Judaism is not a race. Jews are from everywhere. There are ancient African Jews, Sephardic Jews from the Middle East, and Ashkenazi Jews from all over Europe. My friend is Israeli-Persian and Jewish. When he told some of our friends, they asked how he could be Jewish and Persian. I find it so weird that “Jewish” is considered a race, it’s an ethnicity and a religion.
When that girl said that if everyone was mixed race then they would have colorism, that's Latin America right there. We sure do have a lot of colorism.
mcmandy086 exactement
So true
oh for sure
omg just like ethiopia most people are different shades of light skin and there is that occasional really light or really dark person and for some reason both get made fun off but it's not hate or anything just for the sake of the joke
Alot
As a half-black and half-white person, i agree that the “passability” is what counts the most. I look way more white than black, and when i had straightened hair (my natural hair is curly), nobody ever believed that my mom is black. I also never received any racist comments, unlike my mom, she suffers because of racism till these days.
i agree! although i’m only a quarter black, one time when i was with my brother, who looks more black than me, someone in my class thought he was my boyfriend! i’m also tired of people asking why i’m white when my mom is brown (she’s half)
Finally someone who understands me, I also have a white father and black mother, but I was always called names for my black side, but I also see more black than white. :p
whats pass???
@@tia.talbot i swear people will say they're black when they get a 0.01% black ethnic background in like DNA tests lmao
I’m mixed black and white as well and I don’t really look either race more (well actually depends ) because in the winter I can be mistaken as “white with a slight tan” but in summer I get mistaken somehow as Indian because I tan so easily also my facial features say black and my hair says mixed but I feel more comfortable identifying as mixed than either black or white but that is not an option in my state sadly it’s either one or the other
I'm mixed. I had a friend tell me her baby was going to have the best of both worlds. I asked her what she meant. She said "A white mind and black body". No joke. I haven't spoken to her since
Lmao what the hell
Thats...how the hell
Metonymy1979 bruh
Did they say this with a straight face, not that it matters. It's crazy nonetheless...
@@abbifash You know when you look over at someone like "what the fuck did you just say?"
I looked at her and she was straight up serious. But, I couldn't believe it so I asked her "are being serious right now?" She was totally serious. I walked out and haven't spoken to her since. I do know that her boy is awesome and living with his Dad.
Why is no one talking about the ending?! The screenshot of their text saying they all have a group chat and are "legit friends now"??? THAT IS SO HEARTWARMING
Mixed people stick together LOL. I’m biracial and most of my best friends are biracial too.. I don’t even know how it happened
nymph corpse don’t care
They would make the perfect cast for "Friends" reboot
Spicy Shizz don’t comment then....
YES I was just about to say that!! Its so sweet that these people actually became friends through this ahh
As a mixed race person myself I found this interesting, but I think there is some confusion here in this video with race, nationality and ethnicity.
DISLIKE MY LAST VIDEO..
I blame America tbh. Other countries can tell the difference and use it correctly but Americans often don’t.
This 'confusion' exists because there are no clear boundaries between nationality, ethnicity and race. For example, what is a white German's ethnicity? You'll probably say German. Their nationality? Also German. What about a white American? Are they ethnically American if they have a lineage in America spanning centuries? Are they ethnically English if their ancestors originally came from England? What about someone from South Africa? Are they ethnically African despite being from a specific ethnic group like the Xhosa people? Is 'African' even a valid ethnic category? Are they racially black if they are half white but live in SA? etc etc.
@@breonawarren1507 i have to agree. I'm American, but I live in Europe and the way race is perceived is completely different and a lot less complicated.
@@breonawarren1507
I agree to an extent. There are a lot of Americans who do know the difference. But unfortunately there are a lot of other Americans who don't care and just assume everyone that is black or Asian or Muslim, etc are all the same. Obviously there's a huge difference in skin tone, ethnicity, and country of origin.

@@babyamyxo-o6c…. Yeaaa, no 😒
Everyone being mixed in the future would not solve colorism at all. Annette is dark skinned and she’s mixed. Mixed ppl come in all shades. She literally said she wished to be lighter in the past.
Ofthesol exactly
I was so saddened by that answer I hoped growing up through being discriminated against because of who u where born and can't help it at all would get that mindset out of people and they would become more accepting and nice to others not wanting to put that pain on anyone else.
Hence why it’s called COLORism.
Yeah being mixed just puts you somewhere in the color spectrum
"We will still have colorism" is what she said. She was saying it would not disappear.
In five months we’ll all get a “Do all Corona Virus survivors think alike?” notification.

lol
This comment is so true tho 😂😂😂
dang, in my opinion, this is one of the best spectrum videos. the cast was rather diverse and wasn't afraid to disagree with each other, but they still so it in a kind, respectful way. mad props to everyone involved in the creation of this video!
It wasn't that diverse sadly, all the girls were half Asian and all the boys were half white. They should have half Hispanics, Turkish, etc
@@raivazquez175 You're not even stating races tho.....and I think someone there was half hispanic aka some race BC HISPANICS R DIVERSE AND COME IN MANY COLORS
@@romanreignswhore no need to get mad over it. It's my opinion and I apologize on saying Hispanic as a race. What I meant was Mexicans, dominicans, Cubans, etc
@@raivazquez175 Mexican, dominican and cuban arent races either...
I liked (non sarcastically) how the half black kid said he is pride to be white, and nobody called him out. A full white person with the best intentions unfortunately wouldn't have gotten away with that.
I don't know why y'all in the comments are calling the blasian (half Chinese) girl delusional. Like..... as a Blasian, some of us just feel more comfortable and more accepted by our Asian side. Just because she's not all that ambiguous looking and could easily pass as fully black, that doesn't mean that she has to fit into the blk community. I know some of y'all aren't going to like to hear this, but there is a serious problem in the blk community, black-passing and even ambiguous biracials are often forced into the black box, we aren't ever allowed to explore our full heritage. Blasians do not have to fit within the blk community, we blasians should have a space to be able to be both black AND Asian, just like Wasians. Stop forcing Blasians into the black box.
People will still see her as black but anyway
Yes blasians shouldn't be forced into the black box. But she didn't explore both cultures she was one sided and mostly only mentioned her asian side. Instead she should be like the mixed black and white boy and explore and accept both sides of her. Yes, the blk community has issues but so does the asian, indian, hispanic, mexican, white, and all the other communities and that's for people in the communites to work on. but that doesn't mean she should ignore that side of her and Honestly i believe she needs to explore her black side more.
@@heavenloves7819 1. Indians ARE Asian, 2. I agree with you on that. It just seemed like people were attacking her for being more aligned with her Asian side.
@@Dom_om_nom we don’t give a F. We don’t claim her
@@mollymolly7451 ok then dont get mad when she identifies as asian. I would just keep calling her Blasian, because she is both black and asian, but I wont call her black, because she is only half
“That is your space, too” was such a sweet comment...she needed that reassurance.
She needs more mixed people in her life to show her she can accept every side of herself.
But at the same time, you can't represent them because you are only half which is a main problem in the black community because mixed race and racial ambiguous who look slightly black are used to represent us when they aren't completely black
@@usefulpolls3750 We literally had a half-white/half-black president (raised by his white mother & having minimal contact with his father) touted as the first black president.
FFS, most people have a little of something else in them.
Useful Polls exactly which is extremely problematic. It erases that mono racial identity. Like for us black people we have been talking about this for decades and have been completely ignored. I realized that the reason people are ignoring our erasure is because most non blacks want that. They don’t care if black spaces are completely taken up by mixed people or our image completely changes into a more mixed image as long as it’s erasing blackness it’s okay.
*The struggle of being mixed race/ethnicity/nationality:* _You are both All and None._
Knowledge Is Key yesss
I’m mixed and it says in Caucasian on my school information sheet, it’s really weird. is mixed not in their vocabulary like 😶😶😶
Yep
This has nothing to do with what you are saying, but I just really want to let you know that Jesus loves you!❤ And He will always do!
I’m mixed I feel like I’m not either black or Arab
"If I haven't heard those slurs to me, then I'm not in a position to reclaim them."
The best thing said in this video
That was such a good way to put that!
Slurs shouldn’t even be reclaimed. You can’t own words, no matter how offensive they may be.
FACTS
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS.
I want to see one with mixed indigenous. We're often overlooked and ignored.
yeah I’m indigenous but also a quarter black and I have black features that make it obvious that I’m mixed and used to get made fun of in school by other kids lmao
Literally mexicans. Most just dont care or realize and always go by nationality(mexican)
Yeah becuase you look full white.
Me too! I'm half Filipino/half Cree. So many conversations about mixed race experiences presume some level of colonial heritage/settlerism or white passing privilege that I've never had.
We're called 'latinos'😂😂😂
I would like to see this same conversation amongst an older generation of mixed race people
That's what I thought about too. Like I wonder what my mom would say if she were in this given how she grew up and crazy stories I used to hear about my grandma (South Korean) and grandad (white, black, native American)
Juanicia Page ugh
Caroline Lackey is there something wrong with what I stated?
@@juaniciasherrel I happen to agree with you as a older mixed race person. I found myself not relating to their millennial perspective on their mixed race.
Yeah that would be really interesting. I'm technically a millennial and I do find that millennials focus a lot more on race than I think people used to. It might just be they are more outspoken about it but I don't really know. Race almost seems more political now and mixed race people are seen as more beautiful than other races.
"If I haven't heard those slurs towards me, I feel like maybe I'm not in a position to reclaim them." This was so well-worded! I think we often forget reclaiming is the reason of a certain race use words that used to, and sometimes still do, hold such derogatory power. Such a good example of why such terms are still offensive coming from a different race.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
words aren't exclusive to anyone and only have power if you give it power and if you turn to violence over a word you have problems
@@Clashy69 I agree. I think people also need to know that there's context when it comes to the word itself. They don't think about that though, just the word itself.
nah that's a bad argument. Anybody should be able to use any word, it's only intent that matters.
That perspective is mental gymnastic to try and control what other people say.
If you still find a word offensive, you haven't reclaimed it, you've just put a personal limit on who can use it.
The fact that being mixed in the US is something so different really confuses me, cause here in Brazil, we are almost all mixed
In US, colonizers like french and english never mixed with native population, but as you probably already know, the same can't be said for Portuegese and Spanish. Mixed is reletively new, since it used to be both illegal here in a lot of places, and there wasn't that much interracial marrying in the US in general for the first like 200 years of its existence.
Just a little over 50 years ago me simply existing was a crime.
@@bruhsoundeffect2882 Aren't Louisiana Creoles a mix of French colonists & slaves?
Isaiah Yeah, but that usually occurred through rape. Plus it was sort of hushed about, but something people were aware of
YESSS its SO WEIRD bc here in Brazil im white and thats it, but outside of the country ppl guess right away "oh youre lebanese right?" it is hella interesting to see how different it is in different countries
It's mainly because it was against the law in the US for black and white people to get married until 1967. Obviously, not every mix is black and white, but that's where a lot of the infatuation and interest in mixed people comes from. It's relatively new here.
as a biracial person, my biggest experiences which made me experience some imposter syndrome is when i filled out those tests/surverys that ask you about your race. one part of me wants to check off the "asian" square but the other part of me wants to check the "hispanic" square. i always was in conflict with "do i just check 'prefer not to answer' or check 'other'?..but im not exactly 'other' either..". I always feel get the urge to just turn to someone and be like "hey what race do i look like?" but honestly i still have a hard time with this and usually just put 'prefer not to answer'
Pls note these questions are illegal in some countries
In Europe such a question would be totally illegal, the USA is pretty backwards on this.
as a mixed race child i remember being in 4th grade and my dad, who is a dark skin black man, came into my classroom one day to pick me up, and my class mates were all white at the time, and they would say “your dad looks so scary” and i remember being so confused as to why he looked “scary” now realizing it’s sad that that’s embedded into children to think a big black man looks scary and i was like it’s just my dad :/
@*sips tea* i know you're trying to relate, but being a "big scary black man" can literally get him killed.
i was in 5th grade when my dad went to pick me up from school. (he is a dark skinned black man) all of the kids started a rumour that “the big scary black man at school” and some other crap. i never really understood why they did it until now
My father is a very tall, large black man, and my teacher said, "I didn't remember your dad being that scary. I wouldn't want to make him angry."
I just said, "I make him angry all the time. No biggie."
He really never got loud or shouted and it sucked that people were instinctively scared.
Yea i feel u like people have these images of colored people that instantly makes them non-likable, my bsf told me back in the day she used to be scared of black people cuz of the same reason of yours but shes learned from it now
This happened to me too 🙁 I was so sad and mad that people thought that about my dad cause I knew nobody would say that about theirs
People’s honestly need to know the difference between African & black.
Exactly
True

What major difference? Anyone native to Africa is Black (Sub-Saharan Africa) to be exact, but there’s also places outside Africa blacks are native to.
What's wrong w African American? .. It's like you're ashamed to be associated w Africa in your blood.
I hate how people fight against racism or are against racism, but then see a biracial person and try to tell them what to identify as.
Too true
FACTS
Technically, you are what your father is.
(Edit)
Ok look at it like this. Since I obviously love analogies to explain things I know 😂 but look. Let’s say a man meets a woman. He has a kid by her. This is the Kid 👉🏾🌹(red rose)
The man then goes out and meets another woman. The man now has a second kid, but this one looks a bit different, this one is lighter complexion. This is the second kid 👉🏾🌹(pink rose)
The man then goes out and he meets a third woman. This woman was even more unique in features than the first two. This is the kid 👉🏾🌹(blue rose)
The only constant thing in that situation is that the kids are still roses. Regardless of color and features. If you can’t understand that then maybe I am a fool 🤷🏾♂️ Now reread my analogy below, full circle ⭕️. Also, look up the definition of seed and read the first two definitions, if you want to have a nice giggle while doing so look at the related words.
Edit2: how do y’all not understand by now that the male spe-rm would be the rose “seed” meaning the male is the rose. Yes the woman is a breed herself in her own right (hence the environmental difference in the roses) but we can all agree y’all bring forth life and like I said it’s just an ANALOGY. That’s why the women’s egg would be the soil. You plant a seed in soil and life grows. How do you not understand this. Awww mann ya killing me 😂
@@lebabyjames2724 what
@@morindahoelzle559 Your race is based off the seed of the father.. For instance, If I take 2 of the same rose seeds and planted one in America and the other in Asia; the soil, environment and etc may make the outcome look different but what’s gonna grow out of that soil?
I'm Korean, Mexican, Native American, and white. I've struggled with identity and not fitting in my entire life. I've come to terms with it not having to be an "identity" rather I'm me who happens to be mixed.
Mexican is a mixture of Native American and white it’s not a race
I totally agree. Being a mixed girl (Japanese, Indonesian, French, Tahitian and more) kept being so harsh I even find myself asking what am I? It’s like I can’t identify as anything so I just gave up.

the way race, ethnicity and nationality are mixed up in this vid is nuts 💀
Archie Versarchie, the last word nuts fits the 21st Century🤦🏾♀️
I fully agree, this video only reflects how completely uninformed people are in general about these terms. Conflating arbitrary race with genetic ancestry. Conflating ethnicity with race and genetic ancestry. Conflating race with nationality. Conflating genetic ancestry with identity. And it just goes on and on. It’s as you say completely nuts. It’s also highly understandable. People are not being properly educated about this topic. Constantly being bombarded with misinformation. In addition many individuals are perfectly comfortable with their misinformed position as long as it supports how they label themselves and others.

Fr hearing my white friends go “I’d have cute mixed kids” is so weird like you can’t just pick and choose who you fall in love with 💀
that’s because a lot of the time Women and men who say that don’t actually fall in love with the person they have kids with. they have kids with them to satisfy they are own fetishes. that’s why, and im not generalizing but I do you see a lot of white women become baby mommas to mixed kids. and a lot of mixed kids with identity crises. They were not born into a stable home, which is important for every kid, but especially for a mixed child in our current climate when it comes to race/ethnicity. but those are just my thoughts🤷♀️
Similarly my friend (who's white) said he doesn't want to have kids with a person of color because he wants his kids to have blue eyes. And that was alarming to me that some people think that way.
As a brazilian, I was so confused when they were talking about it, like... what??? I've never heard something like that here... maybe because most of us are mixed?? Idk. Or is that like a white american thing? lol
It's not about falling in love, it's about having a creepy obsession with what ethnicity person they'd bang to create a frankenbaby. Not even respecting their future partners at that level you're expecting.
@@moniemoon. I see why you don't get it, I do think it is a American thing, specifically, a white female thing. I mean, I guess I can't speak for them though because I am not fully white myself.
The "I've tried to hide my identity" hit so close to home. I'm mixed with mexican and black, and so when I was in middle school I got made fun of by the mexican kids A LOT. They'd always call me racist black slurs and just never even acknowledged the fact that I WAS half mexican. They'd always tell me that I'm not half mexican because I couldn't speak fluent spanish and because I didn't look mexican enough, and they'd always make those racist black jokes about how you can't see a a black person in a dark room because they were too dark (keep in mind, i was light as heck and some of them were even darker than me.) So because of this bullying from them, I became very insecure about my identity, and I'd constantly hide my black side in hopes they would not make fun of me. Currently now I am healing from that trauma, and I have come into the fact that just because I will be seen as black and not mexican, that I will still embrace both of my sides because both of those sides makes up who I am. I am mexican. I am black. I am both.

Being biracial is so confusing, I remember asking my mum "what am I?" All the time, cause i didn't look black nor white, she always gave me a different answer and never took my question seriously. My parents didn't understand how confused I was, if u r going to have mixed kids, make sure you teach them to appreciate both of their sides.
Biracials should not feel the need to pick a side, why most we erase a part of ourselves just to please others?
-due to the "one drop" rule that a bunch of racists made, some people feel like I am just black and decide to ignore my white side unless they want to insult me.
But ofc I still call myself "mixed" I dont know why people think I dislike my black side just cause I identify as mixed and not black, and i know for a fact that if I went around saying I'm black, someone will say I'm not black enough. Cause I'm never enough, I'm never the right skin tone, I never fit in.
But I'm unique, I love it.
But I'm tired of people saying "u look too light", "your white side is showing" as if it's a bad thing 🤨 stop trying to make me feel ashamed, or "you are not black enough". Some white people even avoid touching me cause of the colour of my skin, I'm not an animal.
We get racism from both sides.
Its disgusting.
Some make us feel like we dont belong anywhere, and others keep fetishising us...we ain't toys.
I’m biracial also, dad Irish and mum Nigerian… I’ve learnt to just not care how I’m viewed… a lot of the time we create our own identity issues thinking too much about it… we’re human beings… mixture has existed since the dawn of humanity.
I’ve also asked the “what am I” question numerous times but for a different reason. I’m half white, half Latina, but I don’t look mixed. It also sucks cause some people don’t think Latino is a race while others do. It’s confusing. I usually either say “I’m white” or “it’s complicated”
Yeah but mostly from whites be honest lol
“If i havent heard those racial slurs towards me then maybe I’m not in a position to reclaim them” although i may not fully agree that’s definitely something to think about.
I think that this statement was pretty interesting to hear... and made me think deeper as a mixed race person as well. I dont know if I fully agree as well, but the opinion she made was necessary.
Sion Hailu i completely agree.
I think it's one of those moments we realize not using racial slurs like that at all is the only way forward.
@@numdd4717 I know right! I don't know why people can't realize that.
Deniz Devrim Jr. I completely agree as a black person it’s actually really uncomfortable to hear mixed people say the N-word just because you’re half black doesn’t give you the right to say the word
The worst thing about being mixed is when your friends start talking about their races. Sometimes, people take you being mixed as an opportunity to tell you what you are and what you aren’t. It doesn’t help anyone.
My family is full of mixed people, so when people ask were I'm from it gets awkward
I am half Nigerian and half Dutch and I had a friend who is the same but he since he knew me he started to really want to abandon the Dutch side and become full Nigerian, which I did not want and he like shamed me for not knowing some Nigerian stuff and it became so awkward that it destroyed our friendship. Literally lost one of my best friends because of being mix
Nope x
L Travis bruh that doesn’t even make sense
Jade Robinson I couldn’t agree more! I am Black and korean and i have heard people use my mixed ethnicity against me by claiming i am not fully anything, therefore I cannot relate fully to any one race. It shouldn’t matter what race you are to support and understand other ethnicities.
Not enough people know the difference between race,nationality and ethnicity.
Exactly! It's like those differences are not taught in school in the US!
I just learned I'm not white after all, I'm mixed race... My life has been a lie...
Right! Like my father is Sicilian and my mom is russian jew. My race is obviously white, my nationality is American because this is where I was born and my ethnicity is jewish. People constantly say that jewish is a religion and not an ethnicity and they’re dead wrong. I don’t take part in Judaism but I am very proud to celebrate my culture. I don’t understand why people find that concept so hard to understand.
babymoonlight x facts, like if people can figure out if they’re Jewish by a dna test it’s obviously an ethnicity but still want to argue it’s not smh
Daniel Price no you’re white
I honestly love this, I started tearing up because growing up mixed I felt alone. My mom is white and my dad is black, I grew up with the white side of my family, I saw the black side once every blue moon but 99% I was surrounded by the white side of my family. I grew up to learn nothing about my culture, I went to a predominately black school up until my sophomore year and I didn’t fit in at school because I was too white or “white washed”, I grew up surrounded by subtle racism, I was/am used as a card to deflect my family being racist. Moving to Florida I was in a predominantly white school with maybe 13 black kids, me being mixed I definitely didn’t fit in because I was too black for the white kids and too white for the black kids…so now I’m left trying to embrace my black side and figure it out
im literally the exact same, but its my white side the figure out
pathetic lmao. get bent.
People don’t even realize how much they fetishize mixed people. The amount of times I’ve heard people around me say “I hope I marry outside my race so my kids can be mixed” is so weird to me. Why do you feel the need to customize your kids?
Edit: To those in the replies who disagree with me. When your children don’t come out with lightskin curly hair and light eyes don’t come crying to the rest of us because you wanted to play sims with your child. You should not love your child any less or more because of how they look, that is absolutely disgusting. *you should not want your child to be your type*
Honestly it’s better than people who refuse to date outside their race.
Buddha Pimp how?? it’s the same exact thing...

chantel x but how does heir love life affect you in any way? it really doesn’t matter if someone would rather date inside their race tbh. they’re much better than those who date to get a perfect skin colour baby
@Loving Life You probably differentiate the words "racist" and "racial". Just because someone says something racial doesn't make it "racist". Racist means prejudice towards a racial group.
In Brazil most people are mixed and racism/colorism is still a huge issue.
Thanks for admitting this! Sooo many members of the Latin X community act like it’s not a problem and it’s a very big problem.
@Ra, The Sun Of God I don't think you understand what they're saying. They said that mixed people still face discrimination even though Brazil is a very mixed country.
Same in Mexico, the lighter you are, the better you're treated and the more jobs you get.
It’s very disheartening. I’m not from Brazil but I experience it a lot within the Latin American community. I feel inferior because of my brown skin.
Same in most of the Caribbean islands.
That half iranian dude seems to be a nice dude
avgn fanboi right?!?
Iranian people are the nicest people. It’s because of their deep Persian culture: “Good thoughts, Good deeds, Good words”
@@aryaa.6487 Good then
Eh, he seemed a bit too full of himself with his virtue-signaling. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's clearly so guilty that he's white that it just infects everything he says with this tone of "I'm not like THOSE people." Because the fact is HE IS "WHITE," but he's also very clearly middle eastern. His phenotype is clearly Caucasian, as is the case with many middle easterners. It doesn't look like his Iranian side is Persian, or else he would probably say that. So why is he ashamed of coming from a family of Indo-European Iranians? I think what he means to convey is that he doesn't want people to mistake him as of Anglo-Saxon descent because that is not what he relates to, which is fair enough. But if that's not what he meant, then what point was he trying to make? Many Iranians consider themselves "white," particularly Kurdish and Azerbaijani Iranians. Iranian isn't a race, there are "full on" Iranians who are even more "white" looking than him. Do people really think that Caucasians only come from Europe? Have we all gotten so dense that we can't separate ethnicity from race?
His name in hindi means demon lol just saying
As soon as I read that Annette was “AFRICAN and Chinese”, I was annoyed. Like, what country? Africa’s a continent, with multiple countries.

She could be African American and therefore not actually from Africa
@@siphumelelethabethe6926 However, the half-Filipino girl was called half-black and not half-African, so Annette's parent is likely from a specific African country.
also both of those are ethnicities, not races
Not really that big of a deal but kinda
Maybe they just didn’t want to say from her African side is from. Like, she is half African and Chinese. At the end it does not matter from what part of Africa she is from, as long as her side of the family is African

When the Jamaican / Australian guy said that his dad would say racists remarks , it hit me .. My mom who is white and dad is black, when they separated my mom would all of sudden generalize all black people to be the same just because of what my dad did to her

Im sorry that happened to you. That just seems so toxic for a mother to say in front of their mixed child. Not only are they making disparaging comments of the other parent but also of the ethnicity of their own child.

Anisa Gashi how was he racist?
That was truly amazing!!! I am so glad the mixed kids of today can find tools like this to make them feel like they are not alone in the world. As a child of a mixed marriage growing up, it was a struggle to not know anyone else like me until the mid-nineties in college. Meeting other mixed people in college and sharing war stories of growing up mixed was an eye-opener for me. I am glad the younger people of today do not have to search as hard as I did. Outstanding work on this.
All jokes aside though, that Jamaican-Australian guy looks like a Disney Prince.
Jolisa I’m not sure he was saying his dad was racist toward black people, though. He may have meant racist remarks toward those of other races. Still not ok, but that’s a different matter.
Jolisa how is that the guy's fault? His dad's racial slurs do not define him.

This broke the stereotype that mixed ppl aren’t just light skin ppl
PERIODDDT
YES Thank You! A lot of people think all mixed folks are light skin, and it really isn’t true.
Don’t get it twisted. When us black people joke about “light skins” we referring to other black people who are black but just light skin. And sometimes people that are half black and half white.
Dude literally there've been mixed people around in masses since some 500 years ago and many are brown.
Yeah, it's so easy to equate "biracial" with "half POC half white." While half black and half white is probably the majority of biracial Americans, as we see Asians and Black people and other ethnicities can have children together too!
This video: *exists*
People who think mixed race is just half black half white : 👁👄👁
Edit: My mixed self sitting here reading all these comments 😅
But no seriously you’d be surprised how many people think mixed race is just half black half white. And it’s not just in America because I’m British and I’ve seen it.
(I was just tryna make a funny comment and now look 😓)
Never really think that. Especially since I live in a diverse area close to DC.
Jada Henry Ward thank u
Jada Henry Ward Literally no one thinks that.
I've never seen it like that.
To be technical this is more about mixed ethnicities. You have Natives from the new world, Asians, blacks, and whites. Then those can be separated into ethnicities.
I just want to say I don't use the N-word and I don't want anyone else in my circle to use it.
There's no such thing as reclaimed. I've never ever heard that word used positively or in an empowering way.
It's negative, no matter who says it. Black people using it, to me, is like a transference of hate from outside to the inside. Now only we can say this hateful thing to each other. Now only we can hate ourselves.
The history is still there. I also don't allow black people to call me that. I don't care that the end of the word is changed. It's not what I am.
same! i've never used it, it's not something i ever heard from my immediate family or in my household growing up, and i've never associated with any people who use it. it bothers me that people (especially white people) may think that it's a word all black americans freely use.
You don't have to use it. Just because you've never heard it used in a positive way doesn't mean it's not. Any black person I know calls theirs friends their niggas. There is nothing negative about that. The word is very much reclaimed by the black community and it's laughable that you say "there's no such thing". It's a personal choice if you and your family or friends choose not to say it. Doesn't give you the space to condemn those who do.
You're different and that is nice
@@MarTechSDR you’re a clown. The fact that you think words can just change meanings bc a person with a different skin color uses it is laughable itself
Thank you for having common sense. I never can walk up to someone and say "hey n***a."
It just feels wrong and i'm blk and started out in "the h00d."
I’m a dark-skin Africa American and I get comments like “You talk like a white person” or “you dress like a white boy” all because I dress and speak “proper/correctly”. It’s very degrading because white people aren’t the only race to look and speak correctly. I’ll bring it to their attention which they’ll brush it off and says it’s not that serious.
Well I get your point, but technically it’s no such thing as dressing correctly or speaking correctly, language is the made up thing, that changes over decades and generations. 500 years ago none of us would understand English. Ebonics, or other form dialects sometimes get added into the English language. Matter of fact look at England, speaking so call proper English is sometimes look down upon from ragular people because speaking posh and as some negative Connotations because and person who speaks like this comes off, stuck up, or because usually it’s a rich person who speaks like this.
Chad L Yeah, maybe it wasn’t clear what I what doing but I added the quotations marks around proper/correctly to add emphasis on how they used it.
Jaidon Morrell
You mean you don’t use the vernacular, no such as speaking properly or correctly. People from different countries use slang and a certain vernacular. And dialect
@Jaidon Morrell... you don’t have explain that to those ignorant people. I am a black girl and always get the same thing as you. I will not change the way I am.
Jaidon Morrell I always have to correct people always , I’m like an people of colour not speak with annunciation or wear their pants over their ass ? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I don’t think people realize the more they say those things the more the association with black = uneducated, can’t dress properly , don’t care / lazy will stick with us ..
People don't seem to get the difference between race, ethnicity, nationality and religion!!!
I really started wondering why I heard half Jewish, half Russian. I was like isn't being Jewish a religion, or or is it now kinda an ethnicity too..
Exactly what I'm saying
uwaknaomi inyang There’s a whole thing with being Jewish. It’s weird.
uwaknaomi inyang it’s more of an ethno-religious group. So when someone say they are Jewish in regards of their ethnicity that relates to an actually ethnic group (Jewish people, people whose descendants were from ancient Israel)
exactly. i think americans especially get this confused. like wtf is white & jewish? Judaism doesn't determine how you look. Being "mixed" means your PARENTS have two different ethnicities
9:17 THEY PUT “daintily agree” WITH HIS NAME AFTER THAT LOLLLLL

That’s why I don’t say it. I mean I live in a predominantly black area, and no ones really racist, so the only time someone’s called the n word, it’s usually by another black person just being friendly. And when I white person does the say the n word, they don’t mean it in a racist way, because they don’t see it as racist. So no one here is really called the n word by an actual racist, but I still don’t say it.
I think no one should say slurs tbh 🤷♀️

When I was younger, multiracial ppl were seen as "superior" in the community I grew up in. They had "The good hair" and "good skin".

Now that I'm older I see that my skin color wasn't the problem, but the bias other ppl had was the problem. I also see that multiracial ppl go through their own struggles of being mixed race.

I know I’m not mixed (I do have slight Indian genetics) but often people assume I’m blindian because of my hair length and texture. And it probably isn’t this way, but sometimes I do feel like people treat me differently especially considering that I go to a predominantly white school. I also feel like my appearance was also the only reason that white people talked to me and that the popular ones let me sit at their table because I didn’t look fully black. I also noticed how the mixed kids tend to be the people they talk to more than the black ones so you aren’t wrong. I also felt that both because of what I looked like and the girls I sat with, other black kids didn’t really want to approach me
Totally agree with you I have always lived in a divers Area but when I was younger going to school I often would hear black people predominately black Women hair being called nappy or call their skin burnt . Personally as a black girl my self I’m really glad I did not feed into that, but it still hurts to see all the Colorism going on hurts.
Ah, my mother says those things about me! That I have the good hair. I don’t like it, it feels like I’m being guilted for something I cannot control.
Yeah I use to get bullied because girls in my neighborhood were told that I was beautiful and they weren’t, it made them hate me. Unfortunately it was mostly black communities that would spread that idea of self hate. It’s interesting to see how different areas react to mixed people.
They should do this discussion with a older set of biracial people. I'd like to hear some stories from people during the civil rights movement. It would just be extremely interesting. All this people in this video should make a video talking about more of their like being mixed that all have great backstories
Syera Harris that would be interesting
Absolutely
That would be good.
My mom was born mixed during the civil rights movement. She’s been trying to pass her whole life and still won’t tell a lot of people that her dad was black and native. She’s more comfortable now but it’s still hard and she won’t let her hair be natural even though dyeing it blonde and straightening it is literally making her go bald. I’m out her like Logic though when people ask me “what are you?” saying my mom is mixed and people being like “no we don’t believe you...”
SassCompactor Same here, I have a great Aunt who moved to Cali during the civil rights era and she is “passing.”
Most of Latin America is “mixed” so we never label ourselves that way. It’s usually about nationality and culture that define us since we come in all shades.
colorism still exists among us though
Yep, people need to realize all latinos are mixed.
Grecia Castillejos oof yeah colorism IS HEAVY
Well my mom is like white skin mexican and my dad is a light skin, half black half white dominican. So my skin tone more to the clear side BUT my hair is very curly and I have a very curvy body cuz of black side. So in mexico I'm just being called "chubby white girl" when in reality I'm not chubby and i'm not white and I see a bunch of people jugding other people cuz they have a darker skin tone than others and don't even get me started in how they say they love curly hair but all the hair styles that are perceived as neat and clean, are straight or done with some heating device.
@@anayellidume you look asian
agagga that was so cute at the end how they all are friends now. Mixed people really go through so much with social isolation and alienation so it makes me so happy that they can find community with each other!!
Facts
Do Africans and Black Americans think the same? (I probably worded that weird but oh well)
SiaLater
Honestly no. For the most part, no lol
My mum says the same she thinks that African women don’t like her and she’s Jamaican
Do african black folk and american black folk think the same? Because black people have loads of different nationalities lol
@@bigbraintime1689 Why would Africans not like black people
Whew, if that came out, people will finally realize Africans and black Americans are nothing alike
How you pass is more important than your actual race in this country. People are very thirsty to put someone in a category so they can treat them accordingly whether it’s good or bad. I believed that is why mixed raced people here are forced to pick a side.
Amber Skye yes maam!!! Thank you for your love.
I boop ur nose and where is “here”?
technically though since race is a social construct, the race you are perceived would be essentially the dictation of your race since its an identifier for our society. Is someone passes for white but have mixed ethnicity then ultimately your white.
Roy Jackson-Smith if race is a social construct does that mean someone like Rachel Dozael can pass as African American?
@@joes.2331 as someone who is half black/half white but appears as anything but, i'd have to disagree. No matter where I am, people assume that I am either latino or middle eastern. Does that mean I should/can identify with those racial groups? I understand your point, but I think it's more complicated than you're maybe acknowledging
Annette got the job because she’s speaks a second language, Cantonese, a skill. Its like in Canada you literally have a one up over someone if you speak French. I don’t believe race was a factor in that one.
Knowing another language is a skill, but she didn’t go to school and learn or teach her self. She was taught because her family is Asian, so she considered that as her Asian heritage giving her an advantage in that position.
@@savvy.5682 That's not a previledge tho..
It is a skill, but her race is still considered an advantage. She probably didn’t feel comfortable saying this, but most Asian owned businesses won’t hire black people. As in, (not all) but most older asian foreigners usually won’t. If you tell them you’re half asian that’s a huge plus. That means one of your parents is Asian and they know you’ll give back to that community, and the money keeps circulating within that community. Asian wages become asian profits. That is why Asians hire family members or other Asians. They will return the favor. Her knowing the language can offer proof that she is Chinese since they can’t go off of her looks alone.
It’s because you’re talking about Québec not Canada in general and the first language is french, so it’s important to talk and make everything in french first to not lost this « culture »
Also personally I feel like generally Asians are more biased towards each other? We love emphasizing on family and togetherness lol so once Annette revealed she was half it would definitely put her in their good graces + she speaks their language/dialect. Knowing the language in this situation isn't just a skill, it helps form a familial connection
so i’m mixed-race, my mom is half kenyan, however i am VERY white-passing. growing up i was raised in a brown household but I was also very whitewashed while living in both the US and the UK because i am perceived to be white. i’ve been told that i’m “too white” to be mixed and that i’m “just white”, which makes me feel so invalidated. i have constantly subconsciously and consciously run away from my heritage and it hurts a lot. i don’t feel accepted on my black side or my white side. and also, even though my dad married a mixed-race woman, he is incredibly racist!
what i like about this video is how these mixed people don’t always fit into the “mixed-race” box of being perfectly tan with curly hair.
Youre not mixed race youre white. Your moms mixed race, youre like 15-20% black. You can’t go around saying youre mixed when you look like that thats just ignorant
@@meatballsandwich5329 And there's the problem
Ajna gives off such a cool vibe, he’s so sweet and cute:(
aw thank you so much
@@AjnaCA wtf hahaha
Lingualizer ikr 🤯
Michelle Vidales IKR He’s so sweet and a great listener. What a cutie hehe
AjnaCA let me love you
I really like how he said "being mixed race is a race so I don't want to have to pick" never heard that before and it makes so much sense
He was raised right!
His Dad was speaking through him and being Australian the only prejudice he'd have is against shitheads and they come in all colours. Australia is to hot for Snowflakes.
Not really though, when you think about it
Being mixed race is not a race. That being said, they definitely shouldn’t ever have to choose. Honestly, picking a side is racist and self hating no matter which side you choose
Because you don’t you’re both. I will always except people for who they are. I hate that some of these kids feel they can’t fit in.
I'm so excited to see this! As a mixed person, just seeing people talk about the invisible benefits and struggles of being mixed is great.
I do wish the prompts had dived a little deeper into the colorism that we often experience, and the sense of not belonging/not being welcome in communities of any of our ethnic groups.
I wish they did that too, I'm five different races (maybe more) and it would have been nice too see them discuss what it's like to not fit it in with different groups
the six of us are discussing doing our own follow-up video to touch on more nuances not covered in this video! would love any and all ideas on deeper discussion points
@@JenniRudolph that's wonderful! I'd love to see that, if others want to make this comment thread a suggestion thread, post your topic ideas!
@@JenniRudolph hi, I really did love the video and I think it is wonderful that you are thinking about covering about what want discussed in the video.
This might be a personal thing, but I don't really fit into a category of any of my races. (Half Indian, quarter Chinese, black, white, Amer-Indian). Due to how mixed I am none of my races accept me. It would be nice to see how you guys would take on not fitting into a single category or not even having a category.
Rayne Moorthy this is off topic but it’s controversial if I’m mixed or not because I’m 25% Japanese. Can you please tell me since you are a mixed person?
