The Latina woman is right about the distinction between nationality and ethnicity. For example, in the case of Senegal, Senegalese is the nationality but there are diverse ethnic groups in Senegal including Wolof and Soninke (just to name two).
@@sitdownstandup91 yes it is? Latina = ethnically from Latin America. There are several countries in Latin America all with different cultures, speaking styles - whether they be indigenous dialects or otherwise: Paraguay, Peru, Brazil, Haiti to name a few (yes Google it, Haiti is both a Caribbean country and a Latin American country). Vs Hispanic (another ethnicity) - ethnically from Spain. Not all latine people are hispanohablantes (Spanish speakers) ie Portugal/Brazil but it’s an ethnicity nonetheless
@@HeiRo500 All Americans out in force upvoting you I see. Latina/o is not an ethnicity. I am portuguese, I am well aware of Brazil and other central and south american countries. The only reason the term Latin America exists is because of colonization by Spain and Portugal (and France when it comes to Haiti and Quebec) which are Latin European countries. The British used the term to differentiate between their colony (USA) and the others. Being Latin/o/a is about culture and language and is not related to race or ethnicity. There are white latinos, black latinos, mixed latinos - are they the same ethnicity? Japan is an ethnically homogenous country as the vast majority of people there are ethnically japanese, aka genetically japanese. Countries born out of former colonies are the most ethnically diverse, African and American. The reason is that the colonizers just draw arbitrary lines to create these countries with no interest in the different existing groups. Why would the Mapuche people of Chile call their ethinicity latino and not exactly what it is, which is Mapuche? Why would a white chilean say they are ethnically latino (which again, means nothing when it comes to ethnicity) when they are probably ethnically German?
@@snailsrslow625 Haiti is not a good example. You have to think of countries who have not suffered with colonialism. Native haitians were actually Taínos. Modern haitians are mostly black due to the slave trade, so ethnically part of an African group. Though recently they have adopted the term afro-carribean. A European country that I can offer as an example to explain is Finland. Though most finns are ethnically finnish, there is a minority ethinic group who are Saami. Though they are from Finland, are of finnish nationality they are ethnically Saami. In a way, the biggest ethnic group took over and named the country after themselves.

Yacine here! Although we know there are many ethnicities in Senegal, and because the term is so malleable, I think saying that “I’m Senegalese” here in America is easier than saying I’m both Fulani and Wolof, which I am. But I can definitely say I’ve learned a lot going through all the comments. Thanks again, CUT for having me!
Senegalese is an ethnicity and only applies to nationality IF you were born or grew up there. So didn’t make sense what she said in the beginning about it being a nationality when most everyone in the vid is American I’m assuming.
@@charin951 right! Senegalese can be an ethnicity especially as an umbrella term. Some would say that a more specific way to describe it in the context of America would be to say Senegalese-American but Senegalese in this context can still be an ethnicity. Also, as long as you legally live in Senegal, you can claim that as a nationality as well. It’s not limited to being born there. Nationality is more about what nation you currently live in
Nothing you said was wrong. Senegalese is an ethnicity just like Italian, Spanish, and Filipino are ethnicities. For someone who was born/raised there it may be a nationality for them as well. Your nationality isn't always your ethnicity and vice-versa.

I cringed at this in the video, it's a complete misunderstanding of the concept. Ethnicity is just a more precise category within races. There are cultural associations only if that person grows up within that culture, otherwise it just defaults to genetics. Like if a German adopts a Chinese baby and brings them up within German culture, the ethnicity of the baby will still be Chinese, although culturally they won't be Chinese. It's a medically relevant factor as different ethnicities have different genetical risk factors. That's why as long as the country is a distinct genetical pool, they can be their own ethnicity, like Senegalese.

I saw some deep pain in the Native American girl when the alcoholic stereotype was the easy clincher to guess her heritage. To her, I’d like to remind her that there are many choosing to live differently which can change perspectives. Explore within the Indigenous community. -PeterNotSoWhite, Supaman, Pam Palmater are just a few with articulated voices & big hearts
I'm native and sober but that doesn't change the unfortunate stigmas associated with us. I hope one day our people and youth will be represented in a more positive light. So that great strength, resilience, and power is synonymous with us Indigenous!
personally i have never attached alcoholism to native americans too deeply due to seeing more than, that it doesn’t cross my mind. growing up don’t recall it much either, i have native on my fathers. took a history of native americans class in college and that’s when i read about it a bit. it was introduced in trade and as well as a way to control unfortunately. it was f*cked up how tight constraints the trading rules became towards natives. anyway i decided to comment bc i would like to apologize for the fears some of you have/had and hope to express there shouldn’t be shame on natives 🌟
I have never heard that stereotype, but im from Europe so i dont really know that much about natives. Im Finnish and we are always being stereotyped as the "alcoholics".
I loved when she invited Octave to the Quinceañera on the 30th (even if she was joking) after Octave had said she'd never been to one. That was so wholesome to me for some reason.
The Latina lady was actually SPOT ON about the ethnicity/nationality thing with the Senegalese girl. As an African, I’m calling the Senegalese chick out. She’s Senegalese-American but she sure does have a ethnicity or tribe that she is connected to. Either she doesn’t know or doesn’t want to say for some reason but I’m leaning towards the former.
Yes but the vast majority of Americans do not know almost any African ethnicities such as Wolof Fula Jola Maninka or Serer but they have a much better chance of knowing some nationalities. If she just said Wolof with no explanation these people might not know what continent that's on. BTW it's the same thing with Filipino, the Philippines is made up of like over a 100 different language groups but everybody in the US knows about Filipinos, not Visayans or Tagalog speaking people.
@@connormurphy683exactly a lot of Africans will only mention their country of origin when someone who is not from their country/not African asks about their ethnic background, but if you press on and ask them their ethnic group they’ll tell you without any hesitation. Also the Senegalese girl in the video replied in the comments to explain that it was more easier for her to say that she was Senegalese than Wolof + Fulani.
You are wrong because ethnicity thing is only common to be idenified with in america mosty. i am african too north african specifically in morocco americans and westerns label us as arabs when we are not we are amazigh then the muslim arabs came and we accepted their religion i am half amazigh half arab yet out culture is morocan it's very different from any other arab country so i can't identify with that
I 100 percent get where shes coming from but we aint gotta do that and im glad she said that from jump. Some people are insecure about culture but its a beautiful culture

@@KuvYogSala nah that’s not the reason. The reason is bc of his lack of knowledge on racial/ethnic topics he’s sweating.

Black woman in her 40s here to tell you no one weebs like a black person weebs. Been into anime since I was 9, lots of people watch anime that aren't Asian.
Latino/a is not an ethnicity tho. Ethnicities and nationalities go hand in hand and can be used interchangeably. There's a white latino, black latino, mixed latino etc and thats freaking broad considering Brazil and Mexico have different cultures and within those countries exists several cultures as well like Nagô de Brasil. Una habla Portugués y otro habla Español. Por ejemplo nací y crecí en Quisqueya pero mis papás, no y sí. Nacieron en otro lugares pero sus padres nacieron aquí. Like are they ethnically from this country, yes but nationally no because they're citizens of another country so am I both ethnically and nationally from this country, yes. Esto es solo un ejemplo, no soy de Quisqueya, sin embargo, tengo antecedentes similares. So yeah, the Senegalese lady is right to call her ethnicity, Senegalese but if she wanted to specify her ethnic groups then she could also do that.
Facts some people say their race is Latino or a nationality in Latino America or you can't be Latino if you're black or any other race they forget Latin America is as diverse as it gets.
Yup, one race of people exists: Human. Ethnicity if you're ancestors-especially if you're family still continues the customs/foods/traditions of said culture and nationality is where you were born.
@@katl1489 I know you’re being color blind but there is not “one race”. being color blind is counter productive because it actually takes away from being able to acknowledge people who are discriminated against. we all have our differences and that is okay. some people in particular are more likely to be discriminated against and have been for centuries, so the “there’s only one race, the human race” mindset is actually very dismissive because not every human gets treated the same, not every human even gets treated like a human, or is even viewed as a human either.
@@timotheechammywammy3214 exactly. even though their intention is positive, i find it interesting how eager white people are to eliminate the concept of race "because we're all part of the human race". it's just as dismissive as when they say "i don't see skin color"... ignoring our differences does nothing to fix the issues that stem from them.
@@daquonsimmons8240 I don’t remember her name. I just remember the Japanese American guy, Multi ethnic girl and Latina girl were the guessers. In a video about ethnicity that’s what stuck. Fair point though, and if I wasn’t a lazy arsehole I would’ve rewatched the video to check.
I loved how Miriam right away corrected them, because people often confuse race, ethnicity and nationality when they are completely different terms and concepts. Race is tied to phenotype. Ethnicity to geographic location and sociocultural background, whereas nationality defines the nation (country) you are a citizen of. For example, I am multiracial (result of white, black and indigenous miscegenation), Latin American (subcontinent where I was born, raised and where I belong culturally) and Brazilian (the country I am considered a citizen of). It might seem hard, but it really is not. With that being said, her reasoning is correct. Senegalese is a nationality. So is Filipino. Like here in Brazil, in the Philippines alone they have hundreds of different racial and ethnic groups. Categorizing them in the exact same group is generalizing and ignorant, to say the least.
As a Norwegian, I get where you'rte coming from, as I find a lot of American discussions about orgins to be strange and confusing. In my head, I think of citizenship when nationality is mentioned, but from a dictionary definition that's not correct. There is overlap between the terms "etnicity" and "nationality", depending on the dictionary definition (there are two). "Norwegian" would be considered as both an ethnicity and a nationality (and a citizenship), regardless of the definition. "Race" is a term that I think is rarely used outside of the USA or at the very least North America. It's considered outdated and pseudo-scientific.
Actually ethnicity and race can intertwine a little bit. For example Arabs are racially "Arab" but also ethnically "Arab", yet phenotypically they can look quite different, even between siblings. For example I have brown skin and really dark black hair, so I look more like an Indian, while my brother has a lighter olive skin tone and brown hair, so he looks more Mediterranean (Italian, Greek, etc)/White. However we're both full blooded siblings from the same ethnicity and race. Both parents are Arab.
miriam is the cutest omg!! she has such good energy, you can tell she’s intelligent and can literally feel her confidence in the way she explains herself, not to mention she’s super pretty!!!
Depending how you use those terms, they can be the same thing. In my head (I'm not American), "nationality" to me means citizenship, but I understand that "nation" can also mean an ethnic group inhabiting a certain area of land. Plenty of countrries in the world will link the name of their country to the (majority) native population of said country, although there may be other native populations there. For example, I'm Norwegian by citizenship/birth, live in Norway and I'm ethnically Norwegian, but there are also Sami people who live in Norway and are considered native to Norway.
@@Onnarashi In some countries there is a lot of overlap but in others, particularly in post colonial countries, ethnicity and nationality is very different. Some countries, which I'm going to call "ethnostates", are primarily one ethnicity. Examples include a lot of Europe, Japan, Korea where the majority ethnicity and nationality are the same word. In other multi ethnic countries, like say Pakistan, there is no majority ethnicity. The largest is Punjabi who only make up ~ 37% of the population. Another example is Pashtun who are divided between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The divide between the 2 is obvious, nationality is a political boundary and it can be changed. Eg, I was born with Pakistani nationality but now have a British nationality. But ethnicity, is identity and generally divided along linguistic lines. Eg, I will always be Punjabi, where British or Pakistani. Race is a lot harder to define but it's generally what you're perceived as and it differs from place to place and time to time

In my opinion, the participants were too diverse, It was too easy to guess, I would love to see all-African or all-European participants, Americans would struggle to differentiate them, that could be entertaining.

@@PHlophe Nope she was picked because she is muslim (majority of senegalese population) and dark skin, tall which are common features of senegalese people. There was another black ethnicity they could have picked, its common sense
@@PHlophe bruh there were two black people and one of them was wearing traditional muslim clothing while the other had a very progressive western fashion style... it couldn't be easier to say which one was the senegalese and which was the african-american
A lot of them were mixed, but they only picked one. It would be great to have an episode with only mixed people and they had to guess both ethnicities.
Seems like the comments aren’t too fond of Brock, I thought he was pretty likable. He was tryna be considerate, but he just made a few mistakes, it’s no big deal
The latina girl is right "Senegalese" is a nationality, African ethnicities are called tribes. Every African is of a certain tribe (mixed or not) and its the equivalent to an ethnicity.
Exactly. as someone who has done extensive reseach on different West African cultures/ethnicities/languages; for example Mande, Fula etc. it made me so dissapointed to see the Senegalese woman continue to state that her ethnicity is Senegalese ):
Same with "Filipino" they have their own groups and sub groups in Asia. The only correct ethnicity they got in this whole video was "Tamil". Everyone else was a generalized collective group, like Native American. Which tribe(s) does she belong to? Producers do your research.
@@Nooticus I was so excited for her to dive deep into sub groups of Senegal and tell us about hers. But I guess she isn't too familiar with her tribe and generally associates with the whole of the Senegalese identity which is her secondary nationality.
@@lichi1244eva Exactly. She doesn't seem to be too familiar with her heritage to identify specifics about it or the differences between nationality and ethnicity.
I resonated with the Hispanic girl. I was adopted and not grown up much around my Hispanic roots but I’m dark and have the features - I feel stuck in the middle. It is a very isolating at times and I feel like from both sides I get a side eye because I’m not Hispanic enough or not white enough.
Be yourself and be proud of yourself. Study your roots and no matter color, shade or language your are still hispanic. Theirs no difference between a white, black and indigenous hispanic in my eyes. Lets say they all Colombian, then to me they all Colombian ofc their different races but they rep the same land and culture so theyre united. Be proud of who you are in your own eyes and not the side eyes of others.
the first time the latina guest asked/said; does this about ethnicity, and does this card nationality?, i know that she is smart. and she guessed all right and in confident.
I feel extremely sheltered, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I had no idea that Native Americans being alcoholics was a stereotype. Also, they forgot to guess the dog's ethnicity.
I like how when the black guy asked “what made you guess me” and they all gave indirect answers, like food, music, etc. like nigga be honest you saw him for one second and just knew 😂
So happy that Miriam understood, from the jump, that ethnicity is the culture, such as language, cuisine, geography, ancestry you grow up experiencing, where race is based more in physical features, such as skin color, skeletal features, hair, eyes, etc. My daughters' race would be considered White/Caucasian/European-American because of their appearance, and their ethnicity would be, mostly, the same because of how they were raised - their ancestral lineage is Italian, French, Spanish, English, Scottish, Irish, Western African, and Native American.
That girl was really smart. Like the answers weren't as important as knowing the right questions. I grew up eating lumpia. I immediately knew he was Filipino but I wouldn't have thought to ask about the type of foods.
How are these ethnicities though? I think senegalese is a nationality while wolof, fula etc are examples of ethnicities that inhabit senegal. The same could be said about filipino as well. I think Sri Lankan Tamil is the most correct one as it is about the tamil people who have their own language and history differentiating them from the rest of south asians. And it’s specifically about Sri Lankan once instead of Indian once.
Ethnicity is a socially constructed concept so of course its definition is malleable. People in the diaspora in particular might be inclined to identify with their country of origin more than any specific subgroup. I myself am moroccan and egyptian and I don’t identify more specifically than that 🤷♀️ especially because my family has never been clear to me about my ancestry
@@lynxaway So you're basically Arab or rather from countries that got arabized. You probably have Berber ancestors too, but I would guess that your family mostly identifies as Arabs 🤷🏽♂️.
The Sri Lankan tamil dude was obviously mixed as well, he does NOT look like anyone who lives in Sri Lanka for that matter, so even him his ethnicity is wrong.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg He wasn't obviously mixed, you're right, typically most Tamils are rather dark skinned, but there are also some light skinned Tamils. Also he's from Sri Lanka, where the majority of the population is Sinhalese (and they tend to be more light skinned), so of course Tamils and Sinhalese people married each other sometimes, but it still does not change that he identifies as Tamil and that he grew up with in Tamil culture. That's the only thing that matters. At the end of the day all people are mixed, our ethnic identity depends on where we grew up and what the people around us identify as (e.g. family).

Yacine here! Although we know there are many ethnicities in Senegal, and because the term is so malleable, I think saying that “I’m Senegalese” here in America is easier than saying I’m both Fulani and Wolof, which I am. But I can definitely say I’ve learned a lot going through all the comments.
Thanks again, CUT for having me!
Senegalese is an ethnicity and only applies to nationality IF you were born or grew up there. So didn’t make sense what she said in the beginning about it being a nationality when most everyone in the vid is American I’m assuming.
@@charin951 right! Senegalese can be an ethnicity especially as an umbrella term. Some would say that a more specific way to describe it in the context of America would be to say Senegalese-American but Senegalese in this context can still be an ethnicity. Also, as long as you legally live in Senegal, you can claim that as a nationality as well. It’s not limited to being born there. Nationality is more about what nation you currently live in
Nothing you said was wrong. Senegalese is an ethnicity just like Italian, Spanish, and Filipino are ethnicities. For someone who was born/raised there it may be a nationality for them as well. Your nationality isn't always your ethnicity and vice-versa.
@@HeiRo500 How are you correcting someone who is actually from Senegal.
@@blkangelflame show me where I’m correcting anyone or explicitly stating that OP’s perspective, knowledge and understanding of their own culture is incorrect. If OP is of the perspective that I have overstepped, I will apologize to them should that be their perspective. However, my comment was toward the user I directly @ in my reply, not OP so… seems like you have all this smoke for me and not them when I was simply continuing a conversation. Not once did I say my perspective is the only one, nor the most objectively accurate one. Nothing I stated is mutually exclusive from what OP stated. Stay blessed and never pressed
“Ethnicities are made kind of to unite people around culture… while race seems to be more divisive.” A great and succinct understanding of it.
@@WHYOSHO No doubt. However, as a root, the creation of race and Blackness was one of division. When it comes to untying Black people across the diaspora would it not be combatting that divisive construction?
Ethnicity is rooted in dna, race is made up social concept.
Go to Nigeria and say that to Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani, Hausa people. Ethnicity is just as easily used as a tool of division as race is.
...
I cringed at this in the video, it's a complete misunderstanding of the concept. Ethnicity is just a more precise category within races. There are cultural associations only if that person grows up within that culture, otherwise it just defaults to genetics. Like if a German adopts a Chinese baby and brings them up within German culture, the ethnicity of the baby will still be Chinese, although culturally they won't be Chinese. It's a medically relevant factor as different ethnicities have different genetical risk factors. That's why as long as the country is a distinct genetical pool, they can be their own ethnicity, like Senegalese.

I saw some deep pain in the Native American girl when the alcoholic stereotype was the easy clincher to guess her heritage. To her, I’d like to remind her that there are many choosing to live differently which can change perspectives. Explore within the Indigenous community. -PeterNotSoWhite, Supaman, Pam Palmater are just a few with articulated voices & big hearts
I'm native and sober but that doesn't change the unfortunate stigmas associated with us. I hope one day our people and youth will be represented in a more positive light. So that great strength, resilience, and power is synonymous with us Indigenous!
ive never heard of that stereotype. so sad :(
I felt that so hard. It’s the reason I’ve always chosen not to drink
personally i have never attached alcoholism to native americans too deeply due to seeing more than, that it doesn’t cross my mind. growing up don’t recall it much either, i have native on my fathers. took a history of native americans class in college and that’s when i read about it a bit. it was introduced in trade and as well as a way to control unfortunately. it was f*cked up how tight constraints the trading rules became towards natives. anyway i decided to comment bc i would like to apologize for the fears some of you have/had and hope to express there shouldn’t be shame on natives 🌟
I have never heard that stereotype, but im from Europe so i dont really know that much about natives. Im Finnish and we are always being stereotyped as the "alcoholics".
miriam had such great energy!! she was really sweet with everyone & knowledgeable on the topic
I loved when she invited Octave to the Quinceañera on the 30th (even if she was joking) after Octave had said she'd never been to one. That was so wholesome to me for some reason.
The Latina lady was actually SPOT ON about the ethnicity/nationality thing with the Senegalese girl. As an African, I’m calling the Senegalese chick out. She’s Senegalese-American but she sure does have a ethnicity or tribe that she is connected to. Either she doesn’t know or doesn’t want to say for some reason but I’m leaning towards the former.
Yes but the vast majority of Americans do not know almost any African ethnicities such as Wolof Fula Jola Maninka or Serer but they have a much better chance of knowing some nationalities. If she just said Wolof with no explanation these people might not know what continent that's on. BTW it's the same thing with Filipino, the Philippines is made up of like over a 100 different language groups but everybody in the US knows about Filipinos, not Visayans or Tagalog speaking people.
@@connormurphy683exactly a lot of Africans will only mention their country of origin when someone who is not from their country/not African asks about their ethnic background, but if you press on and ask them their ethnic group they’ll tell you without any hesitation. Also the Senegalese girl in the video replied in the comments to explain that it was more easier for her to say that she was Senegalese than Wolof + Fulani.
You are wrong because ethnicity thing is only common to be idenified with in america mosty. i am african too north african specifically in morocco americans and westerns label us as arabs when we are not we are amazigh then the muslim arabs came and we accepted their religion i am half amazigh half arab yet out culture is morocan it's very different from any other arab country so i can't identify with that
I 100 percent get where shes coming from but we aint gotta do that and im glad she said that from jump. Some people are insecure about culture but its a beautiful culture
I have a question my nationality is Haitian American I’ve always assumed my ethnicity is Haitian but Haitian is a nationality is it both or not cause we don’t have any tribes in Haiti or anything lower than that. I guess you have the departments but that’s it.
Please bring back Miriam!!! she is sooo intelligent and compassionate and so fun to watch!! And she’s so personable, pretty, and i love her outfit!!!!! she is a star!!!
OMG, poor Brock. He was so good in the sexual orientation episode, and not that he wasn't trying to be considerate in this episode, but this one got him sweating!
which was silly.. like why does he think the one guy is african american? and he has trouble answering liek rly? gee idk cuz the dude is obviously black? not sure why he'd be nervous to state the obvious. i honestly think the only reaosn there are two black peolpe in this video is because the answer would be obvious otherwise
He was overthinking it.
@@MsDudette21 because ppl get canceled too quick these days.
@@KuvYogSala nah that’s not the reason. The reason is bc of his lack of knowledge on racial/ethnic topics he’s sweating. If a different white person was knowledgeable abt these topics they wouldnt have felt the need to ”sweat”. For example in the guessing languages video there was a white guy who was very knowledgeable abt the racial/ethnic topics that he never felt the “pressure” this guy was feeling
@@KuvYogSala I think it’s more people being offended on the behalf other people without actually finding out what actually offends them and why.
Black woman in her 40s here to tell you no one weebs like a black person weebs. Been into anime since I was 9, lots of people watch anime that aren't Asian.
Agreed, Anime is mainstream.

Facts it's popular in all the Americas and the carribeans.
No one cares
I think the guy was joking since he’s half Japanese
I knew Miriam would be good at this, the moment she clocked that the identities are mostly nationalities and not ethnicities. My girl is smart!
Not really… Filipino is considered an ethnicity if you’re born or raised in the USA, you can’t say Filipino is your nationality in that case..
@@charin951 notice how she said mostly
Latino/a is not an ethnicity tho. Ethnicities and nationalities go hand in hand and can be used interchangeably. There's a white latino, black latino, mixed latino etc and thats freaking broad considering Brazil and Mexico have different cultures and within those countries exists several cultures as well like Nagô de Brasil. Una habla Portugués y otro habla Español. Por ejemplo nací y crecí en Quisqueya pero mis papás, no y sí. Nacieron en otro lugares pero sus padres nacieron aquí. Like are they ethnically from this country, yes but nationally no because they're citizens of another country so am I both ethnically and nationally from this country, yes. Esto es solo un ejemplo, no soy de Quisqueya, sin embargo, tengo antecedentes similares. So yeah, the Senegalese lady is right to call her ethnicity, Senegalese but if she wanted to specify her ethnic groups then she could also do that.
@@charin951 yeah also some things are just both, like there's russian as a nationality and also russian as an ethnicity, and some people are both
Was I the only one stunned over Octave speaking all those languages? Especially Finnish! As a Finn I was surprised, u go girl

Bring back the Latina girl. She’s so smart, gorgeous and seems considerate. Such a vibe. Really like her!
I wish people would learn the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality 💀 it’s so simple to get too
Facts some people say their race is Latino or a nationality in Latino America or you can't be Latino if you're black or any other race they forget Latin America is as diverse as it gets.
It’s honestly confusing at the start, but fr it’s so easy to open up google smh
Yup, one race of people exists: Human. Ethnicity if you're ancestors-especially if you're family still continues the customs/foods/traditions of said culture and nationality is where you were born.
@@katl1489 I know you’re being color blind but there is not “one race”. being color blind is counter productive because it actually takes away from being able to acknowledge people who are discriminated against. we all have our differences and that is okay. some people in particular are more likely to be discriminated against and have been for centuries, so the “there’s only one race, the human race” mindset is actually very dismissive because not every human gets treated the same, not every human even gets treated like a human, or is even viewed as a human either.
@@timotheechammywammy3214 exactly. even though their intention is positive, i find it interesting how eager white people are to eliminate the concept of race "because we're all part of the human race". it's just as dismissive as when they say "i don't see skin color"... ignoring our differences does nothing to fix the issues that stem from them.
Malayali here, so understanding everything the sri lankan/tamil guy said gave me joy :)

FR SAME HERE

That Latina was on fire and I love that she acknowledged/highlighted the difference between ethnicity and nationality.
she has a name why is she referred to as just the latina? lol there are multiple latinas there
@@daquonsimmons8240 I don’t remember her name.
I just remember the Japanese American guy, Multi ethnic girl and Latina girl were the guessers.
In a video about ethnicity that’s what stuck.
Fair point though, and if I wasn’t a lazy arsehole I would’ve rewatched the video to check.
But then she said "I'm Mexican" which is pretty much the same thing she was criticizing lol
I loved how Miriam right away corrected them, because people often confuse race, ethnicity and nationality when they are completely different terms and concepts.
Race is tied to phenotype. Ethnicity to geographic location and sociocultural background, whereas nationality defines the nation (country) you are a citizen of. For example, I am multiracial (result of white, black and indigenous miscegenation), Latin American (subcontinent where I was born, raised and where I belong culturally) and Brazilian (the country I am considered a citizen of).
It might seem hard, but it really is not. With that being said, her reasoning is correct. Senegalese is a nationality. So is Filipino. Like here in Brazil, in the Philippines alone they have hundreds of different racial and ethnic groups. Categorizing them in the exact same group is generalizing and ignorant, to say the least.
As a Norwegian, I get where you'rte coming from, as I find a lot of American discussions about orgins to be strange and confusing. In my head, I think of citizenship when nationality is mentioned, but from a dictionary definition that's not correct. There is overlap between the terms "etnicity" and "nationality", depending on the dictionary definition (there are two). "Norwegian" would be considered as both an ethnicity and a nationality (and a citizenship), regardless of the definition.
"Race" is a term that I think is rarely used outside of the USA or at the very least North America. It's considered outdated and pseudo-scientific.
Actually ethnicity and race can intertwine a little bit. For example Arabs are racially "Arab" but also ethnically "Arab", yet phenotypically they can look quite different, even between siblings. For example I have brown skin and really dark black hair, so I look more like an Indian, while my brother has a lighter olive skin tone and brown hair, so he looks more Mediterranean (Italian, Greek, etc)/White. However we're both full blooded siblings from the same ethnicity and race. Both parents are Arab.
African, wherever your white and indigenous side are from are your ethnicities.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg And that's what you are getting wrong Ahmed. cuz Arab is not a race, it is just an ethnicity.
@@beststar8207 What race are Arabs, then? Because I'm talking about the real semitic Arabs, which all belong to the same race.
The girl in the cute color dress. I love her vibe, and she is so spot on between ethnicity and nationality.
miriam is the cutest omg!! she has such good energy, you can tell she’s intelligent and can literally feel her confidence in the way she explains herself, not to mention she’s super pretty!!!
What I'm learning the most about this kind of video: thank god, I'm not the only one who's always getting mixed up between ethnicity and nationality
Depending how you use those terms, they can be the same thing. In my head (I'm not American), "nationality" to me means citizenship, but I understand that "nation" can also mean an ethnic group inhabiting a certain area of land.
Plenty of countrries in the world will link the name of their country to the (majority) native population of said country, although there may be other native populations there. For example, I'm Norwegian by citizenship/birth, live in Norway and I'm ethnically Norwegian, but there are also Sami people who live in Norway and are considered native to Norway.
@@Onnarashi In some countries there is a lot of overlap but in others, particularly in post colonial countries, ethnicity and nationality is very different. Some countries, which I'm going to call "ethnostates", are primarily one ethnicity. Examples include a lot of Europe, Japan, Korea where the majority ethnicity and nationality are the same word.
In other multi ethnic countries, like say Pakistan, there is no majority ethnicity. The largest is Punjabi who only make up ~ 37% of the population. Another example is Pashtun who are divided between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The divide between the 2 is obvious, nationality is a political boundary and it can be changed. Eg, I was born with Pakistani nationality but now have a British nationality. But ethnicity, is identity and generally divided along linguistic lines. Eg, I will always be Punjabi, where British or Pakistani.
Race is a lot harder to define but it's generally what you're perceived as and it differs from place to place and time to time

I've been looking at the dog the whole time and can we just talk abt how adorable she is like saying I'm whipped would be an understatement
did anyone else not recognize the dog until he pointed it out😂
Came here to comment that Miriam KILLLLLED IT! So respectful and funny at the same time. Definitely a girl with good energy around and to watch. ❤
I know he didn’t mean bad but the “what does this mean” kinda killed me… it’s also a bit insane that ppl didn’t know about Sri lanka like intrigue
Yeah I was surprised he’s never even heard of Sri Lanka. Especially being part Asian himself. I can understand how someone wouldn’t know the different ethnic groups within Sri Lanka but the fact that he’s never even heard of it is a little crazy. I’m assuming he attended public school in America.
You can't expect everyone to know every single country in the world. Sri Lanka just does not have any political or strong media representation. India and Pakistan are the only two famous South Asian countries.

He said “Roti” in one of the foods he likes. I felt like that was a dead giveaway that he was biracial Tamil.
I don’t even know why the dog was just chilling there but props to how cute and well-behaved the dog is.
In my opinion, the participants were too diverse, It was too easy to guess, I would love to see all-African or all-European participants, Americans would struggle to differentiate them, that could be entertaining.
yeah i found that half of them were too easy to guess although the senegalese girl could only be picked beause she is the only Black woman. she does not have the "look" that is associated with senegalese. They are usually very tall ( women also )
yesss
frr they were all too distinctive which made ur easier to identify
@@PHlophe Nope she was picked because she is muslim (majority of senegalese population) and dark skin, tall which are common features of senegalese people. There was another black ethnicity they could have picked, its common sense
@@PHlophe bruh there were two black people and one of them was wearing traditional muslim clothing while the other had a very progressive western fashion style... it couldn't be easier to say which one was the senegalese and which was the african-american
yes sri lankan tamil rep but the way they mistyped sri lankan as "sri lanken" got me

nobody is talking about how chill that dog is on the man’s shoulder 🥹😭
i loveee how the dog on his shoulder is just so casual to everyone😭

we need more of miriam! she carries her questions and answers with such poise and she’s so knowledgeable on other cultures. very pleasant lady 🥰
When the tamil guy said kottu roti I already knew 😂
Of course yes. But being Sri Lankan my self I would have thought he is american or European if I would only go with the looks 😅.
I love Míriam confidence and swag! I wish she had talked more spanish, by her accent I can tell she's native speaker, she said quinceañera perfectly
The latina girl is right "Senegalese" is a nationality, African ethnicities are called tribes. Every African is of a certain tribe (mixed or not) and its the equivalent to an ethnicity.
Exactly. as someone who has done extensive reseach on different West African cultures/ethnicities/languages; for example Mande, Fula etc. it made me so dissapointed to see the Senegalese woman continue to state that her ethnicity is Senegalese ):
Right? She conflated nationality and ethnicity. I would have loved to hear whether her ethnicity is Wolof or Fulani, for example.
Same with "Filipino" they have their own groups and sub groups in Asia. The only correct ethnicity they got in this whole video was "Tamil". Everyone else was a generalized collective group, like Native American. Which tribe(s) does she belong to? Producers do your research.
@@Nooticus I was so excited for her to dive deep into sub groups of Senegal and tell us about hers. But I guess she isn't too familiar with her tribe and generally associates with the whole of the Senegalese identity which is her secondary nationality.
@@lichi1244eva Exactly. She doesn't seem to be too familiar with her heritage to identify specifics about it or the differences between nationality and ethnicity.
They all did pretty good for the most part💯 Miriam had great energy and seemed knowledgeable.
I resonated with the Hispanic girl. I was adopted and not grown up much around my Hispanic roots but I’m dark and have the features - I feel stuck in the middle. It is a very isolating at times and I feel like from both sides I get a side eye because I’m not Hispanic enough or not white enough.
If you're the same skin tone as her, she wasn't dark at all!
Be yourself and be proud of yourself. Study your roots and no matter color, shade or language your are still hispanic. Theirs no difference between a white, black and indigenous hispanic in my eyes. Lets say they all Colombian, then to me they all Colombian ofc their different races but they rep the same land and culture so theyre united. Be proud of who you are in your own eyes and not the side eyes of others.
the last minute clutch was crazy 6:05
the first time the latina guest asked/said; does this about ethnicity, and does this card nationality?, i know that she is smart. and she guessed all right and in confident.
I feel extremely sheltered, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I had no idea that Native Americans being alcoholics was a stereotype.
Also, they forgot to guess the dog's ethnicity.
Miriam seems so sweet
I like how when the black guy asked “what made you guess me” and they all gave indirect answers, like food, music, etc. like nigga be honest you saw him for one second and just knew 😂
they should do a 'guess what music i listen to'. now that would be fun
So happy that Miriam understood, from the jump, that ethnicity is the culture, such as language, cuisine, geography, ancestry you grow up experiencing, where race is based more in physical features, such as skin color, skeletal features, hair, eyes, etc.
My daughters' race would be considered White/Caucasian/European-American because of their appearance, and their ethnicity would be, mostly, the same because of how they were raised - their ancestral lineage is Italian, French, Spanish, English, Scottish, Irish, Western African, and Native American.
How did they not acknowledge the dog on this dudes shoulder 😂😂😂😂
I cannot focus with the dog on his shoulder 😂😂😂 I thought it was fake 😭😭😭
That girl was really smart. Like the answers weren't as important as knowing the right questions. I grew up eating lumpia. I immediately knew he was Filipino but I wouldn't have thought to ask about the type of foods.
I love the dude how has a dog on their shoulder it's adorable
How are these ethnicities though? I think senegalese is a nationality while wolof, fula etc are examples of ethnicities that inhabit senegal. The same could be said about filipino as well.
I think Sri Lankan Tamil is the most correct one as it is about the tamil people who have their own language and history differentiating them from the rest of south asians. And it’s specifically about Sri Lankan once instead of Indian once.
Bruh this is made by Americans they don't know anything about race realism
Ethnicity is a socially constructed concept so of course its definition is malleable. People in the diaspora in particular might be inclined to identify with their country of origin more than any specific subgroup. I myself am moroccan and egyptian and I don’t identify more specifically than that 🤷♀️ especially because my family has never been clear to me about my ancestry
@@lynxaway So you're basically Arab or rather from countries that got arabized. You probably have Berber ancestors too, but I would guess that your family mostly identifies as Arabs 🤷🏽♂️.
The Sri Lankan tamil dude was obviously mixed as well, he does NOT look like anyone who lives in Sri Lanka for that matter, so even him his ethnicity is wrong.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg He wasn't obviously mixed, you're right, typically most Tamils are rather dark skinned, but there are also some light skinned Tamils. Also he's from Sri Lanka, where the majority of the population is Sinhalese (and they tend to be more light skinned), so of course Tamils and Sinhalese people married each other sometimes, but it still does not change that he identifies as Tamil and that he grew up with in Tamil culture. That's the only thing that matters. At the end of the day all people are mixed, our ethnic identity depends on where we grew up and what the people around us identify as (e.g. family).
