They're both good, useful predictive tools. For example, astrology can be used to predict the character, beliefs and behaviour of astrologers, while racism can be used to predict the character, beliefs and behaviour of racists.
well....no, astrology can't be used to predict anything. _someone believing in astrology_ can, though: it can predict whether they believe in fairy stories or not
Actually, I think the best way to separate people into two distinct groups is to ask them if they believe in astrology. It's the first question I ask on a date. "You believe in astrology? I'm afraid this isn't going to work out."

Whereas if you're American, racism only divides people up into a few races: "White" "White _enough_ (like light-skinned Latinos, southern Europeans, and light-skinned mixed race people)" "Brown" "Black" "Yellow" and _maybe_ "Red" _if_ they don't just get lumped in with Brown. So, it's not nearly as good of a system of dividing people up by stupid stereotypes as astrology is. And _no,_ Dara wasn't saying racism can be used as a valid predictor of anything - everything he said up to "Ooo! Capricorn!" was him saying racism is utter bullshit. He wasn't saying racism is more useful than astrology, more true or acceptable, or anything like that. He was saying racism... is for the dads.
It's always interesting to me how differently race/ethnicity is treated in the U.S. vs. other parts of the world. In Europe, in lots of places the people are white but they all speak a different language and they all hate each other. In Africa, in lots of places all the people are black but they all speak a different language and they all hate each other. In India there's a lightness-darkness scale of ethnicity but everyone speaks a different language and they all hate each other. In east Asia most people are some kind of east Asian ethnicity but they all speak a different language and they all hate each other. In the U.S. everyone speaks the same language, white people only hate each other based on the two political teams but _hate_ other races more (if they hate anybody, as many people don't), black people aside from a few big city gangsters are all on a single team, in fact lots of non-white people (who are Americans, not first-generation immigrants carrying over their old prejudices) tend to get along okay in the vaguely second-class-citizen area. Except non-white (especially Arab) Muslims. Everybody hates them right now, _and_ anyone sticking up for them.
I’m in the “light enough” grouping. My black family members test me constantly to figure out if I’m racist against them. It’s no fun. It doesn’t feel like something your family should do.
How is it possible that this man can talk about it so openly? He is not shy about it either... Here in Sweden we don't talk about it. It is just not politically correct... Astrology is a really though subject....
Is it? I mean, really? It's so absurdly fake, I just don't understand how anyone could believe that stars and constellations thousands of light years away could have an impact on the day to day life of people on earth...
Actually, only 12. Despite the fact that the Ecliptic goes through and the Sun and all the planets can appear in Ophiuchus, most astrologers just don't count it. Probably because, well, it's always been 12, and if they change it now, it causes all kinds of problems, including the fact that any past predictions that didn't include it but came true would have to be, at best, coincidences or lucky guesses.
@@callumprice1710 I think you may have missed my point. The fact that there's a 13th constellation that "should" be in the zodiac but isn't for the purpose of astrology just shows how _not_ science-based it is.

They did visit a planet where major decisions where made based on astrology. If you had the right star sign you where fast-tracked into leadership positions. If you had the wrong star sign you where thrown into a detention camp for life. They did a bunch of these. On another one online poles had legal weight. People who got to many down votes ended up getting lobotomized.
It's an adept comparison--back in the Middle Ages, astrology WAS used to make judgments about huge swaths of people. When you were born and what stars were dominant was held to determine all sorts of things about your temperament, your destiny, your worth as a human being.
in fact there are 13 signs of the zodiac, so that kinda screws up every horoscope ever. in fact the gravitational effect of the nurse who delivered you is greater than any star, so you better stalk the midwife.
I do think it's a bit of a non-argument (as someone who likes Pratchett's quote about the ObGyn exerting more gravity on you at birth than Jupiter does, AND, not overtly racist) He's using the fact that star-sign are supposed to be more/less compatible with each other, to equate racism and astrology.... HOWEVER, I don't know the last time a Jew was affected by the moon or a Scouser had better luck in the autumn, sorta thing
The point is that both seperations are arbitrary with no basis in reality (beyond the seperation) and so seen as both have the same predictive power racism is better as it can divide people more. You do have to start with the premise that astrology is a load of ribbish (because it is) probably because he sets that up earlier in the set.

Oh dear, we have one of the worst combinations here in the comments - wet liberals with the intellect of a 2 year old. It's comedy.

Has to be great to be so devastatingly stupid you don't even realize it.
Firstly, whether comedy is offensive or not is determined by who is the butt of the joke. Secondly, Dara, like many Brits, uses race to mean any cultural grouping of people, rather than the specific races proposed by eugenics, the pseudo-science of racism. He could've been clearer; I don't know if he meant that racism had statistics on its side (80 potential descriptions as opposed to 12) or that the type of groupings he mentioned would be local and specific enough for these stereotypical predictions to surpass the success rate of the Barnum statements and the 1/12 random chance of astrology, but why bother, it's just a joke and people will troll the comment section either way.
+enleuk Yes, unfortunately, a lot of us do. Many people think that making fun of an English person is 'racist', which it isn't, unless that English person is black or something and them being black is playing a part in the whole making fun of thing. I don't think of races in that way, but I understand Dara's point
Rónán McIntyre To be fair, since racism is irrational stereotyping, it is no different from any other nonsensical prejudice and can therefore be clumped together with other types of groupings with some justification I think. That's why the term cultural racism was created. That's debatable of course, but at least we shouldn't focus only on the races as described by eugenics as that would indirectly lend some legitimacy to them.
+enleuk I just think that there should be a separate word for cultural racism, because it usually isn't based on biological race. It like calling murder 'theft of life'. It's just kinda different
"Racists" ? On a Daybreak Morning Show ..with predictions & news ? Well, We might prefer the term "Ethnologist"... But Yeah ! #GoNationalist✌️ #PeaceAndFreeNations✌️
The problem is not the joke. The problem are the actual racists in the comment section thinking that this makes racism good or Dara a supporter of racism. I mean, that's the thing with racists: they are inherently stupid.
I'm a pagan witch and I believe whole heartedly in astrology. Now let me explain ; I suffer with anxiety and depression, many months ago I was on the brink of taking my own life and then I discovered witchcraft, and paganism. Through research and practicing my craft I felt a significant drop in my thoughts of self harm and suicide. I began looking into astrology and became fascinated by the stars and planets in relation to me. During the darkest time I'm my life so far I discovered tranquility in astrology. So yes, you may not believe in it but there are many of us out there who rely on it to pull us out of the darkness.
It may help you deal with pain but that doesn't mean it's overall good. Obviously it's testable and has been proven wrong (no predictive power). Also it's used to manipulate to vunerable and foolish with profit goals so it's not harmless either.
I feel like this routine applies more readily to the British Iles than to the USA (not to say Britian lacks racism, but well, different extents). This is mainly because the USA and Canada have people who literally want to kill other people because they are of a different race or religion, such as Dylan Roof in South Carolina, and the recent shooting at a Mosque in Quebec, and Trayvon Martin's death at the hands of a random white dude who claimed he was performing self defense against a 17 year old kid armed with skittles, a hoodie, and the apparently dangerous weapon of black skin. Now, I like Dara's comedy, and the above events were definitely not what he was talking about, though... it feels like it is worth stating that perhaps this joke would be ill thought out for an American audience at least.
I'd just like to point out that race and nationality are different things. Also on that note, there is no such race as 'Jews'. Judaism is a religion, the race that predominantly practices Judaism is called Ashkenazi, so for example if a Caucasian is a Jew, an Ashkenazi is a jew and an Mongoloid is a Jew, they have the same religion but NOT the same race. Racism nowadays seems to mean 'all discrimination of people based on their place of birth or beliefs', which is not the right terminology. Racism is the stupid practice of elevating one's ignorance to mean superiority. But racial classification is important for medicine, history and culture and should not be 'swept under the rug' just because it makes people uncomfortable.
I can only laugh at people who believe in astrology. I even had one astrology idiot try to use astrology to explain why I didn't believe in his astrology garbage. The same fool told me that astrology is a science. The proof being the math used to calculate a chart. That bit of arithmetic makes astrology scientific, in his tiny mind, that is orbiting Uranus instead of sitting in his head.
William Baric And in Ireland, catholics were the terrorists, in Norway a guy shot up a church. Was he muslim? No, he was a white supremacist. Racism has no truth to it. Unless you can show a demonstrable link between behaviour in different races which isn't due to socialisation you don't have a point.
William Baric Nope, wasn’t kidding, the burden of proof REALLY DOES lie with the person making the claim. Who knew? I’m not actually arsed about whatever you’re trying to convince people, just wanted to make sure you’re actually giving a valid enough argument.
In fairness, you could *actually* predict somebody's financial situation, education, health, living area, crime rate, and happiness, based on the colour of their skin, waaaay better than Astrology ever could.
SgtLion Except if you use the colour of one's skin as an indicator as someone's race, then you'd never get to 50 (before adding Irish counties). British people also use 'race' to mean cultural group. So think 'the English', 'the French' but also 'the Scots' etc
just to add a detail, astrology does have much more than 12 groups. Only that creepy tabloids somehow forgot about anything else than a sun-signs. In complex astrology everyone has one sign for each space object in Solar system, also there are ascendants , domes, etc (basically for every object in Solar system you have one of 12 signs in one of three ascendants and one of three domes. It gives you almost endless list of combinations )...it is very complicated and very complex. Sure nobody needs to believe that shit, because it cannot be scientifically proven, just that astrology has waaaaaay more cathegories than rasism:-D
I am okay with that fact.. I just hate when people work with false informations. Astrology does not have 12 cathegories of people:-D That is basically all I wanted to say:-D Even if you say something is shit, you should say that based on true informations and not on false ones...
I'm biased, because I'm coming in to this already angry from unrelated things. I get the joke... I just don't find it funny. I was hoping there would be some grand punchline, because the title is so outrageous, there has to be some hilarious angle I didn't get. It ended up mostly being an Irish joke, so w/e. And I'm pretty sure that "raceologists" are out there for real.

He could've been clearer; I don't know if he meant that racism had statistics on its side (80 potential descriptions as opposed to 12) or that the type of groupings he mentioned would be local and specific enough for these stereotypical predictions to surpass the success rate of the Barnum statements and the 1/12 random chance of astrology, but why bother, it's just a joke and people will troll the comment section either way.
+enleuk He's not British
Rónán McIntyre You're right. I think the Irish generally use the same definitions of race though.
+enleuk Yes, unfortunately, a lot of us do. Many people think that making fun of an English person is 'racist', which it isn't, unless that English person is black or something and them being black is playing a part in the whole making fun of thing. I don't think of races in that way, but I understand Dara's point
Rónán McIntyre To be fair, since racism is irrational stereotyping, it is no different from any other nonsensical prejudice and can therefore be clumped together with other types of groupings with some justification I think. That's why the term cultural racism was created. That's debatable of course, but at least we shouldn't focus only on the races as described by eugenics as that would indirectly lend some legitimacy to them.
+enleuk I just think that there should be a separate word for cultural racism, because it usually isn't based on biological race. It like calling murder 'theft of life'. It's just kinda different
Racism is by race not place.
This sounds like a Python sketch.
"Racists" ? On a Daybreak Morning Show ..with predictions & news ?
Well, We might prefer the term "Ethnologist"...
But Yeah !

Did you really just try to rebrand racism? I know youtube comments are notorious for stupid shit but FFS
Dara O Briain dresses like some friday night after work tesco store manager.
DARA HAS LEGS WHAT THE FUCK
Hang on... Dara O'Briain has legs?
Dara, I think that's called "demographics"
No, demograpics are descriptive, racism is prescriptive.
At last, someone who sees race the same as star signs
He's not the first and definitely not the last.

It was a joke. You are supposed to laugh.All you anti-racists are alike! It's like you were all born under the same sign, or something!
The problem is not the joke. The problem are the actual racists in the comment section thinking that this makes racism good or Dara a supporter of racism. I mean, that's the thing with racists: they are inherently stupid.
Lol, thanks.
8 our of 10 racists prefer astrology.
I'm a pagan witch and I believe whole heartedly in astrology.
Now let me explain ;
I suffer with anxiety and depression, many months ago I was on the brink of taking my own life and then I discovered witchcraft, and paganism. Through research and practicing my craft I felt a significant drop in my thoughts of self harm and suicide. I began looking into astrology and became fascinated by the stars and planets in relation to me. During the darkest time I'm my life so far I discovered tranquility in astrology. So yes, you may not believe in it but there are many of us out there who rely on it to pull us out of the darkness.
It may help you deal with pain but that doesn't mean it's overall good. Obviously it's testable and has been proven wrong (no predictive power). Also it's used to manipulate to vunerable and foolish with profit goals so it's not harmless either.
Dont forget gingers
Fuckin accurate
I feel like this routine applies more readily to the British Iles than to the USA (not to say Britian lacks racism, but well, different extents). This is mainly because the USA and Canada have people who literally want to kill other people because they are of a different race or religion, such as Dylan Roof in South Carolina, and the recent shooting at a Mosque in Quebec, and Trayvon Martin's death at the hands of a random white dude who claimed he was performing self defense against a 17 year old kid armed with skittles, a hoodie, and the apparently dangerous weapon of black skin.
Now, I like Dara's comedy, and the above events were definitely not what he was talking about, though... it feels like it is worth stating that perhaps this joke would be ill thought out for an American audience at least.
Aron puma It's less of a huge issue in the UK
He's looking a bit porky latel. Time to stop eating all those pies😈
13% do 52%
*audience goes wild*
those born north of the river are not as good as those born south of the river, except for those who drive holdens rather than fords.
I'd just like to point out that race and nationality are different things. Also on that note, there is no such race as 'Jews'. Judaism is a religion, the race that predominantly practices Judaism is called Ashkenazi, so for example if a Caucasian is a Jew, an Ashkenazi is a jew and an Mongoloid is a Jew, they have the same religion but NOT the same race. Racism nowadays seems to mean 'all discrimination of people based on their place of birth or beliefs', which is not the right terminology. Racism is the stupid practice of elevating one's ignorance to mean superiority. But racial classification is important for medicine, history and culture and should not be 'swept under the rug' just because it makes people uncomfortable.

OK, I've got it.

I can only laugh at people who believe in astrology. I even had one astrology idiot try to use astrology to explain why I didn't believe in his astrology garbage. The same fool told me that astrology is a science. The proof being the math used to calculate a chart. That bit of arithmetic makes astrology scientific, in his tiny mind, that is orbiting Uranus instead of sitting in his head.
Racism is indeed, way better than astrology. Because at least racism has some truth to it.
Joel Gawne Racism has exactly as much truth as astrology. The only truth racism has is 'races exist', the only truth astrology has is 'stars exist'
William Baric And in Ireland, catholics were the terrorists, in Norway a guy shot up a church. Was he muslim? No, he was a white supremacist. Racism has no truth to it. Unless you can show a demonstrable link between behaviour in different races which isn't due to socialisation you don't have a point.
William Baric You should probably link to them then, since y'know, burden of proof and all.
William Baric Nope, wasn’t kidding, the burden of proof REALLY DOES lie with the person making the claim. Who knew? I’m not actually arsed about whatever you’re trying to convince people, just wanted to make sure you’re actually giving a valid enough argument.
William Baric Just making sure you don't embarrass yourself hun xx
In fairness, you could *actually* predict somebody's financial situation, education, health, living area, crime rate, and happiness, based on the colour of their skin, waaaay better than Astrology ever could.
SgtLion Except if you use the colour of one's skin as an indicator as someone's race, then you'd never get to 50 (before adding Irish counties). British people also use 'race' to mean cultural group. So think 'the English', 'the French' but also 'the Scots' etc
I love the nervous liberal laughing
Rob Smith no, it's called British laughing. Subtle difference, but there.
just to add a detail, astrology does have much more than 12 groups. Only that creepy tabloids somehow forgot about anything else than a sun-signs. In complex astrology everyone has one sign for each space object in Solar system, also there are ascendants , domes, etc (basically for every object in Solar system you have one of 12 signs in one of three ascendants and one of three domes. It gives you almost endless list of combinations )...it is very complicated and very complex. Sure nobody needs to believe that shit, because it cannot be scientifically proven, just that astrology has waaaaaay more cathegories than rasism:-D
I am okay with that fact.. I just hate when people work with false informations. Astrology does not have 12 cathegories of people:-D That is basically all I wanted to say:-D Even if you say something is shit, you should say that based on true informations and not on false ones...
Me, a cosmic witch, watching this 👁👄👁️
I'm biased, because I'm coming in to this already angry from unrelated things.
I get the joke... I just don't find it funny. I was hoping there would be some grand punchline, because the title is so outrageous, there has to be some hilarious angle I didn't get. It ended up mostly being an Irish joke, so w/e.
And I'm pretty sure that "raceologists" are out there for real.
Uh uh. Dara better run before the thought police arrest him for hate speech.
See that he mentions jews but not muslims. I wonder why!
Because Muslims aren't a race, whereas Jews mostly are (you can't convert to be a Jew, you have to be born one)?
Its not say racism is acceptable
