    Why do people always try to make things "racist"? I'm Hispanic and my thought process never went to "why wasn't there a Hispanic girl!" I actually only wanted to see more transformations in general. 
    Edit: Since people don't seem to understand what I meant, I shall clear it up. I am referring to those people who saw this video and thought automatically that it was a racist video just because their race wasn't shown. I'm sure I wrote this in the comments below too but I guess I should've expected no one would read that first before commenting assuming I'm as ignorant as the people claiming this is racist. =_=

      Funaho H Hispanic is a little more tricky since it is not really a race nor a single culture. Hispanic is used to classify people who come from a country that speaks Spanish regardless of ethnic or racial background.

    • @nizhoni1616
      @nizhoni1616 9 лет назад +3

      Indeed, more cultures would be great! I love seeing the diversity that humanity has always been steeped in. I wonder how they would portray Native American. There are over 500 tribes recognized by the federal gov't, but there are countless others that still aren't recognized by the gov't as well. It would be tricky to just pick one and be like "this is representative of ALL NATIVES in the US!" You know?

    • @jacks.6243
      @jacks.6243 9 лет назад

      nizhoni1616 I think that wouldn't be much different from what they did here, though. They chose a specific time period, so they might as well choose a more specific place on top of that, right? I mean, with the English girl, they re-crated Elizabeth I. - that's awfully specific.

    After reading some of these comments, I think you guys really should consider making this into a series where you guys focus on cultural beauty/heritage from all different kinds of countries. I seriously loved this vid, but I do agree that we all would like to see even more girls with even more varied skin tones (especially the dark ones) being represented here. Who else thinks that'd be a good idea? :D
    I'd personally like to see some traditional Caribbean beauty cuz that's where my dad and his family are from (i.e. Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic).

      don't be a fool. Indian is the nationality, Hindu is the religion, which comes with certain cultural elements in clothing. There are Muslims Indians and Hindu Indians, and their traditions are different. That's why she needed to clarify she was Hindu, so that we realize the clothing and make-up we're looking at has the attributes of the Hindu Vedic religion, that is, the most ancient and traditional elements in India, before Islam arrived.

    I like when people talk about their heritage, but I've seen a lot of negativity towards white people saying their heritage such as being irish or german, etc., and how they should just say white...but there is a lot of different "white" cultures.

    • @trjinu
      @trjinu 8 лет назад +6

      +Anika L I think the problem with us "normal boring white people" is that some (and I especially get that vibe in the US) get off on saying "I am 12% of this and 3 % of this on my mother's mother's side of the family and then third Cherokee and I also have a cousin who is fond of maybe being related to a Chinese guy on his cousin's father's side of the family".
      Just be you. If you're a mix of different cultures, that's fine, if you're not, that's also fine.
      To identify with all those little percentages of people who might have influenced your family tree 500 years back, that's just ridiculous.

If doesn’t have the culture and haven’t grown up in it, he is not german, he is american. The reasons why for example american-mexican people identify as mexicans, is because they have the mexican culture. I’m finnish/cuban but I identify as Finnish cause I live in Finland and I’ve mostly grown up around Finnish culture and people.

    They all were so pretty =D I love these kinds of videos. And (saying this as a black woman), I'm glad Buzzfeed isn't falling into the 'hate all whites' trend that's so prevalent today (i know this is from last year, but you get my point) by including them in their culture and diversity videos. That's what diversity is: showing off all the diversion and differences between ALL races and ALL cultures and, whether activists like it or not, that does include the huge number of races that are known as 'white'. People are so busy fighting hate with hate nowadays, it's nice to see that not happening in Buzzfeed videos.

      Today's way of do traditional Indian styling is way better the what ever they just did. It looked so cheap. While Indians bride themselves with expensive dress. Especially traditional beauty standards. Hello People Mortgage their house to make up that beauty. It goes more than that (it isn't just superficial) And same with the Chinese lady. Beauty standards were made by the rich. Obviously they didn't have anyone that wasn't European on these designs. Because she was the only one that looked expensive and with in the right time period. I don't even think Buzzfeed or people that don't care about history realize how this inaccurate description is a little offensive. Maybe my expectations were to high, but then I saw the European one and felt offended.

      mm yes it is. Nobody wears a headpiece like that unless it's their wedding or something special. Everyday-wear is different. And the styles differ depending on the region you live. It can mess up your stereotypes if you go there yourself. Like if you head to NE India, where your stereotypical indian look mashes with your stereotypical "Asian" look, how would this video be regarded then? An East Asian lookin woman wearing Indian clothes? That's how reality works. BuzzFeed is pro at clickbait. anyway...

    idk... I thought I'd find positive and nicer comments about the video, like appreciating the fact that they turned historical figures into a modern fashion. I'm noticing a lot of people listing off what's in their BLOODLINE, but (historical) bloodline has nothing to do with heritage and culture, you grow up with that. I was born in the U.S. but my heritage and culture is of Salvadorian descant, there is Central Native American, Portuguese, Spaniard and Italian in my historical BLOODLINE. but that doesn't make me all of those things. Don't confuse culture and heritage, with your historical/racial BLOODLINE. also any PoC getting upset that there wasn't a black person, or Hispanic & complaining...etc this was just a quick video to demonstrate historical figures on today women. yeah sure they didn't include more races/cultures but there's several there aren't just ONE not every white person is the same, not every tanned skinned person is Hispanic, and not every black person is African.
