@@youramess8929 If you’ve ever read any of my RUclips comments I’ve NEVER referred to any race by “color”. I’ve always been against that reference to any race because it’s negative and racist! We aren’t colors in a crayon box!
You two are onto a great discussion that needs to happen in a bigger forum and in a productive way. Communication often requires itemizing people, things, feelings, etc. in specific boxes. A “mode of transportation” doesn’t always cut it. Was it legs? A bike? A motorcycle, car, bus, plane? A 2-door car, 4-door, convertible, truck, suv, red, blue, extra cab, and so on. The tighter the box, the clearer the conversation becomes. Communicating about people is no different. So how do we refer to each other in a way that clearly communicates yet does not infuriate? The issue gets even more difficult when there is no real consensus. I have a cousin who has “brown pride” tattooed on his forearms. He clearly takes pride in our Hispanic background. Yet, if someone called him brown, he would be pissed. “Asian” really shouldn’t work, as it should include everyone from Asia right? Russia, India, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Tibet, etc. African American doesn’t really cut it, as there are probably a billion people of the same race who are not Americans. Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight champ boxer...is he African American? There needs to be an honest, open, and sincere dialogue about this...the keyword is “sincere”.
White people are not Caucasian! It is said in error! Honestly, all of this race and name confusion is the result of white people trying to classify races by their standards!
@@MercyAlwyz23 What a load of crap! Instead of seeing the hypocrisy of the situation you want to play the "let's blame whitey" game. What people are not Causcasian? Anyone who is not white for starters. Every race has their classification for all races, not just "white people"
The people who have ruled the world for thousands of years have received the best education available and look at all the wars and conflicts we've had to endure as a species.
I wouldn't say more racist I would say the same amount as to what they are perceiving other groups to be. (Though less than neo Nazis but that's a pretty high bar)
Nah, they are just as likely to be racist as anyone else. The problem is that they have gotten away with using racial slurs with zero accountability for so long they don't even know what should and should not be filtered anymore. They haven't had to be careful about what they say and now it's difficult for them to self-censor before they speak. People need to stop giving them a pass for such behavior and they will learn to hide their racism like everyone else has to.
@@natashalisa4825 The thread was started by Crosis of Borg, not me. Borg identifies 'they' as people who believe they "can't be racist". I commented that 'they' are just as likely to be racist as everyone else. I didn't need any specific racial identity to make such a comment because literally everyone is just as likely to be racist as anyone else. So to answer your question, you need to either ask Borg if your critical thinking cannot operate without assigning a racial identity, or be satisfied that 'they' was identified as people who believe they can't be racist. Do you know any people that believe it's impossible for them to be racist? If you do, those people are part of the 'they' I was talking about. Does that satisfy your curiosity? Can I ask a question of you? What were you looking for? My original statement is still there and the answer to your question is already right there in print.

I'm confused.....is the yellow part the wrong phrase? So then whites are offended by being called white? Black people should be offended for being called black?
@@chloeezzle Look at these comments......the same people offended by "yellow" are saying the "black" lady needs to be fired. So its just hypocrisy from my point of view.
You all have done that and worst 500 years of history states that fact and even now you all are doing it still so we as blacks shouldnt apologize for shit
I find it Incredibly sad that people who understand how racism feels lash out with racism towards others. So glad I grew up with a very diverse family. It’s opened doors to so many friends
You can't even say black anymore, everyone is walking on eggshells regarding that but they don't care if they call Asians all kinds of derogatory terms/names/labels, if they want people to be politically correct towards them, then they should exercise the same sensitivity and respect to others. It's entitlement at it's finest. They expect others to do it but they don't do the same.
Lol everyone. We can’t ignore race because our country has a history of discriminating on racial minorities. That’s all. If you don’t see race, you’ll b blind to the fact that 40% of your “poor” people are from one racial group. That was an example. Anyway, simply not seeing color isn’t the answer. Seeing color, making sure there is no discrimination and reporting all discrimination is the answer. If we decided not to see disabilities, there would be no special ramps or parking spots created, but we track and see disabilities and ensure that people with disabilities aren’t left behind.
She said she didnt know what she said was offensive. Shes so racist she isn't even aware of it. Ive seen this a lot in NY. Asians are constantly made fun of and called "Jackie Chan" by people that look like this woman.
All of my bully encounters throughout middle school and high school were done by numerous black people who advocated against racism. Its so ironic how they get away with it. I was called “chinker, dog eater, chingchong” the list goes on... And guess what, the school never took action. Normalized racism towards asians makes me pissed.
Lol Jackie Chan. I’ve heard that one before. Takes me back. And not in that good ol’ nostalgic way, either. Glad I don’t live in that backwoods neighborhood anymore.
This gotta be the weirdest report, so let me get this straight, white/black/brown/red people are not racial slurs but yellow people is???? Its funny how white and yellow were holding hands but the yellow part was racist....
Black people call each other black,white people call each other white but we Asians never call each other yellow.So Yes it's not a normal thing to call someone yellow.
@@joshpalao6466 Doesn't matter what's "normal." Normal isn't always good. It's philosophically dangerous not to have language to distinguish who someone is racially from who they are based on culture/nationality/geopgraphy. It leads to statements like "Black people can't be Europeans" (they can be, they just can't be white) and other racist ideas.
@@clownenergy6337 actually that rhetoric is everywhere on Twitter and tumblr. Black people can't be racist because racism requires power and black people have been oppressed all this while and have no power. That's the logic.
Because calling people black and white is normal so she probably thought "yellow" is normal too. I dunno how offensive it is but it's annoying americans thinking that our skin color is similar to someone who has jaundice.
Why? We say white and Black people, how could anyone just assume saying "yellow" was bad if they don't know the history of the context? This country is so focused on Black-centric racism we haven't stopped to observe the racism happening to others. We don't have as much knowledge about Asian racism in this country.
When my first born was a 4-year-old (14 years ago!) he was telling me about his new friends he played with at the playground. Since these were kids he just met playing at the playground he didn't know their names. He told me about "the white boy". Then he told me about "the green boy". I said, "what green boy"? He pointed to a boy and said "that green boy". It turned out that the green boy was a boy with a green shirt on and the white boy was a boy wearing a white shirt. I will never forget that moment and realised that kids are only taught by adults to distinguish people by their skin color. It's not natural to them. And I noticed this from my other 2 kids as well. They've taught me to try (sometimes successfully and other times unsuccessfully) not using skin color to distinguish people.
@Democrats are racist 😆 I “ONLY” clicked when I saw that at least one person replied under this comment & I wanted to know if I was the ONLY ONE calling straight up B-S on this story, for more reasons than one. But as you’ve said, good story, though. 🥴
"that kids are only taught by adults to distinguish people by their skin color. It's not natural to them. And I noticed this from my other 2 kids as well. " Nonsense! Children pick up very quickly on people of a different race. You people who try to convince us differences are only skin color do nothing but confuse the issue and are kidding only themselves. There's a VERY REAL difference in the races.
I migrated to America 36 years ago. Did not face much discrimination but when I do, it generally came from an African American. It is like when you have been bullied for too long, you turned into a bully yourself.
Ehhh.. You're pretty much generalizing dude. It also depends what state you live in. We're all prejudiced against other people who are not the same as us. It's the history and the extent of the prejudice that needs to be contextualized for you to say "So and so people are more racist than so and so people".
Not good stuff! White is a derogatory term these days and Black is....i don't know anymore. Calling someone yellow is enough to be fired. I guess terms like friends and neighbors are quickly loosing meaning.
about 20 years ago in a management position I hired a lady who was a recent immigrant from china, her english was OK but not the best, a situation arose where she was describing a customer to me, I asked if the customer was white like us or a shade of brown, she laughed and told me she "wasn't white she was yellow."
@@HomunculasMost immigrants don't care about color or race at all. We face more prejudice back in our own country sometimes. It's these so called Asian Americans that grew up and was born in America that gets offended by everything. Any Asian born that grew up in America are Americans and only immigrants I believe have the right to claim Asian-American due to us being naturalized citizen.
White and "yellow" children would benefit from having more African-American students in their school? Yeah, I got my ass kicked multiple times in a school like that. My parents moved and I ended up going to school with 50% Asian students. Their test scores allowed to school to receive a shit ton of money from the state and the federal government. The teachers were happy, the environment was safe and competitive. It was beautiful. Our sports team sucked, but our band kicked ass.
I’m Asian, and I’m like “Lol, who uses yellow?!” 🤣 I just think the woman was just severely uneducated growing up on what the culturally right terms and words are. She probably thought “yellow” was just a nickname and maybe thought it was genuinely not offensive, so part of me doesn’t want to blame her because maybe her upbringings just sucked on teaching unfortunately. But, at the same time, if you’re already at that high degree of status and education, you should already educate yourself at that stage on what words are right and wrong, especially in the 21st century and especially in a diverse country like the US, so in terms of that aspect she may be argued to fall faulty.
I actually really agree with you as well, With terms like whites and blacks being so wildly use.. I can see the unawareness of her words. And while she should def apologize we as people also need to let people learn from their mistakes and become better. As far as this story, it sounds like it happened once, im not sure if it would be fair to assume that shes racist just not educated in these terms.
I don't think what she did was all that bad. It sounds off, because we don't really refer to Asians as yellow anymore because it used to be used to degrade them, but that's the same thing with calling someone black, however that's completely fine in our country. I don't think she's racist or meant any harm, she probably slipped up because she was referring to the other races by their color terms, so decided to do the same with asian.
Just giving a little input, in Carribean countries like Jamaica, yellow is also used to describe light skinned people. When I don't get much sun, my folks and aunt call me it. 😆
"ADULTs" just need to start acting like adults and start teaching children how to show some love and respect for one another, so they don't "GROW" up as ignorant adults. Living in modern society is hard and stressful enough, we all have our differences, but at the end of the day, we just want our families to be safe, happy and productive citizens.
Amen brother. As as Asian I was thought from a very young age to respect God, parents, grand parents, sibling, women, older people, environment, and fellow people living in the neighborhood. Good manners and right conduct should be taught in schools, not just academic and freedom of speech. Schools and school board should observe teachers teaching and poisoning young minds with political correctness shit. Leave it to the children when they are in the right mind and attitude to tackle that kind of thoughts.
@Lance Nguyen Have you heard the term "Ignorant is bliss? When we were children we were ignorant of all these racist crap. Once we get older and less ignorant in a not so good way, we become more nasty and selfish which comes to another saying, "A little knowledge is dangerous".
Call a white American a "European" and, unless he's virulently racist White Nationalist who's loyalties lie with people who look like him rather than his fellow Americans, he's bound to be offended. That's because white Americans are told our racial identity is just the color of our skin and race, culture, and nationality are completely separately. The fact that it works completely the opposite way for your ethnicity speaks volumes. The left engineers you to be racial tribalists who sees race and culture as indistinguishable and your race as a deep, spiritual part of your identity.
@@1titans As I explained before, referring to Asians as “yellow” began as a derogatory term. Asian people take offense to it’s usage. This has nothing to do with using the words black and white. The issue here is using the word “yellow” when referring to Asian people. We should all respect and understand that they take offense to it’s usage.

Ofc same cant be said about other races that complains on hairstyles or clothes as cultural appropriation.
@@clownenergy6337 You kinda answered your first comment with your second comment. Asians don't speak for themselves because Asians are very divided to begin with. First, there are the haves and half-nots. The haves are not willing to jeopardize their wealth and social standing to fight for the rights of half-nots. To break it down even further, the half-nots tend to be those who live in places like Chinatown, Korea town, little Saigon, the Asian descendants (some Coolie descendants) who are literally "trapped." The halves tend to be the newer immigrants who came here after the economic boom in Asia. There is also the Japanese/Chinese/Korean vs the pacific islanders, then there is non-Indian Asians vs Indians, and then the Korean hates the Japanese, while everyone hates the Chinese.
Same here! I was waiting to hear what “racial slur” the woman said and it never came. WTF is wrong with these people? Can white/black folk claim being called “white” or “black” is now a racial slur? These nutbars need to grow up.
I’m Asian, I’m not yellow but I’m dark skinned. Actually Asians have a variety of different skin tones from pale white to very dark brown. My skin tones is orange brown, folks call me orange chicken 😂😂
I don't understand why they say yellow every Asian I have meet had porcelain white skin. Never I'm my life have I seen a person with yellow colour skin.
@@kimberley6308. One of the great mysteries of life. I don't understand why they call white people white or why they call black people black when most blacks I've met are brown-skinned.
No negro is not the equivalent at all in america. I've heard of school kids using this actual slur and it is not by calling them a color. But I do not say it or use it and that word I'm thinking of would be the equivalent of calling a black person negro in a slanderous way. Also my old calculus teacher in college who had a brilliant mind was black and he and his twin brother went to harvard and went on to do a series of impressive things and then one decided he loved teaching so became a college professor. He would refer to himself and friends of his that were white as negro and say things like "negro please" when he was telling a story. He was incredibly knowledgable and had a very colorful personality and was using the word in a certain context and clearly grew up using the word to describe people. When I heard a Lady GaGa song say "you're orient" I thought only OLDER generations used that word to describe people, so I was very confused and I didn't think the singer was trying to be discriminatory but the opposite. I think some older people speak that way but when it's a young person I don't really understand that b/c I feel like you don't grow up with that now. As time progresses I've always figures as a society continues the older people who speak that way will die out.
We would have rolled over in hell till it frozen over if those types of terms where used towards us, no exception for her. She got to go, she is out of order.
@@ronnie6696 Every black person in my life calls themself "black". Black culture, black lives, black power. Not a single Asian person in my life calls themself "yellow". Sounding dumb af comparing apples and oranges.
“Black” or “White” non-offensive. “Yellow” Super Offensive and Racist. This soft generation is giving too much power to these words. This woman, although it seems she is not socially educated as to where things are as of 2021, did not have any ILL INTENT. Thats what is key here, INTENT, and I do not believe she had intent to be derogatory or demeaning.......
I had a Korean girlfriend who was offended when I used the term oriental. She informed me that Asian is the preferred term and oriental is considered racist. Give this lady a break!
You don't know that do you? I think the point here is black people always "assumed" white people are racist. So We can also "assumed" she does have an ILL INTENT right?
@RUSHq8 No, it's been used against Asians in general. Sure, not all Asians are light-skinned or "yellow," but racists don't really care for the details as much.
@RUSHq8 Yeah, but most ignorant people can't even tell the difference among "stereotypical Asians" versus "other Asians." Most think all Asians are of Chinese descent.
I've only used peoples names when I meet them and if I don't know their name I will introduce myself when need be. I never refer anyone by their race I wasn't taught that way and we never seen my parents differentiate people either. My father was a proud Irish and my mother was a Native American both worked long hours and were looked up to in the community.
You were raised in the standard American family where the character of an individual was supreme. This malignant critical race theory has brought nothing other than misery for all. We have spent over 200-years correcting one form of racism to replace it with an alternative. I don't just want to be equal is just not good enough. I want to be the master. Same sin, different skin tone.
Okay I agree with you on not seeing color. But however that has nothing to do with this situation. The situation involved house turn education affected two different nationalities of students. Now the way she described the one nationality of students was apparently wrong. So in this case your argument of being forced to not to see color or nationality is mute in this case and shouldn't have even been brought up as an argument and this in particular discussion. Context of facts actually matter
@@joesephnicholls1363 not seeing color has everything to do with this situation. She was upset because they were trying to make it so color was less of a factor in education. The problem is, this woman obviously sees color as paramount to her worldview and could care less to educate herself about what is acceptable to say when color is so important to her. On the other hand, if she had chosen to look at all people as equal and throw color completely out the window, then she wouldn't be a bigot for not knowing the right terms because the terms wouldn't come out of her mouth to begin with. Critical race theory is what demands we know the thousands of words and terms that could make you a racist. It's not exactly surprising she didn't know that term was a slur since Caucasians are now called white and African Americans are now called black, but then again; if she just had the stance that all people were equal, she could almost eliminate terms for race and color from her vocabulary. That's not to say one can't have grievances about racism towards your race if it is present. But in that case, one should know what the appropriate terms are for their own race and the oppressive race (if there is one) and then make their case. If one is trying to say there is racism against a particular race they are not a part of, if they do not know the acceptable terms for that race and the oppressive race, then it's quite evident they don't know enough about that situation to open their mouth in a public forum about the racism they're trying to stop. So basically what this amounts to is she obviously wasn't qualified to talk about this. And in this day and age we live in, if you aren't qualified to talk about racial issues, you shouldn't talk them in front of hundreds of people where you could personally offend somebody or your job could be on the line.
@@jaredh9463 listen she may have knowingly or unknowingly used that racial slur on purpose. As of right now there's not enough information to make that determination. However whether she should have known as a public school teacher is there actually a different debate. But however since she is a senior school teacher for apparently several decades she is definitely should be well-trained enough to determine if certain groups of people are getting the proper education that they'd need according to their own ethnic background raisings. It is Well documented and a proven fact according on what race you are where you was born raised and where your educational District where your Childhood school was in can dictate your common knowledge when it comes to most SAT scores. For prime example when it comes to SAT scores the black community is disenfranchised and gets a much lower score average simply their social upbringing. And even a lot of highly respected Scholars have come to the conclusion that a lot of these SAT scores is in a hire language bracket then taught to students in inner cities. Which in Translation means they have more language that is more associated with more white and upper-class people that simply isn't taught to kids in the inner city and poor people. Sometimes it simply comes to a matter of simple type of language that differs from the inner city kids the more whiter and rich areas. And that's only one in particular example of how different races in our own country can be disenfranchised from morning making it a little bit more difficult four different race cultures. It says she been a teacher for decades she would definitely be qualified to notice these in particular differences and her students where certain curriculum will have to be adjusted for everybody to be on the same level knowledge. I'm not a teacher so I don't know all these different categories. But this teacher has the Decades of knowledge to know. That's the point I'm trying to make. So the sum of my point yes she made a mistake by using this racial phrase. And her actions definitely were apparently inappropriate according to her Decades of knowledge and teachings she definitely seems qualify to make her assumption on pinpoint teachings two different ethical backgrounds. Just the way she went on by explaining herself was apparently wrong. So like I said previously but how you started your opinion of the situation didn't match the point that you actually made about being blind to color period And if she was being blind to color in this instance she wouldn't have been able to identify the the possible issues that she discovered and try to explain to everybody. Just like social workers teachers are trained to look at all indicators to find out solutions to help their clients and students. And for a teacher and just like a psychiatrist in order to get to the route of the problem sometimes you can't be blind to color because sometimes color and needs in particular instances is the solution. And only way you can solve big equations you cannot be blind to anything. You actually have to be open-minded to any possible situation and outcome that may occur. So in a way some teachers have learned skills to be unofficial psychologist in order to do their jobs at a very high efficiency.
@@joesephnicholls1363 I don't really disagree with your attitude about a typical administrator because they are in a position to make changes, but I really don't think this lady knew she was being racist. But more importantly we have to get off of race more and focus more on the particulars outside of race. Right now race is almost considered the only factor when it comes to the disparity between the races when it has more to do with culture and values. Culture and values are not linear with race. There are Chinese gangs and there are Black grandfathers with 4 married children and mostly married grandchildren that play chess at the senior center. If children and adults are told that race is the only factor in the science, than Blacks are scientifically permanently stuck in a broken state. It is that simple. And this will be the view that all people will have about black people (including Blacks most of all) and that is absolutely a 100% racist mindset. It is just disgraceful for people like the Obamas to insinuate their children have it the same as an orphan in Baltimore, just because they have ancestors that came from the same continent 200 years ago and the tone of their skin gives that away. It just makes me sick. We should base benefits and programs on many factors with race further down the list of perceptible causation. If we did that, we could place the blame on who it really belongs; 1.people that have kids that don't raise them right 2.child caregivers and educators that treat kids like animals And 3.administrators, judges and leaders of society that tie the hands of parents, teachers and those that should be able to put their foot down and be able to straiten kids out when they are on the wrong path. And based on what I saw, this administrator is part of the problem that is destroying so many young people's lives.
As a Japanese person I know that “yellow” is considered a slur word for us East Asians, but I’m honestly confused why it’s such a big deal. We can use the term white people, and not yellow people? After all, they are just colours that define our ethnicity.
You have to understand that in America, we are constantly trying to promote racial tribalism amongst minorities, that treats race, culture, and nationality as indistinguishable. If a white person who's never been to Europe calls himself a European, you know he's a White Nationalist. I have no doubt the reason people insist on calling people who've never been to Asia "Asians" is largely rooted in promoting this same kind of tribalism.
I've been calling people black and white this whole time, and I'm Asian so I suspect I can call myself yellow too, have I been wrong this whole time? I'm not calling these colors because of pigments because black people aren't completely jet black and white people aren't as white as ghosts so why is it wrong to use yellow when Asians do have warmer skin color than white.
@@ft.jackjimmy7282 wow blacks aren’t completely jet black? so we are a little bit jet black? yea and y’all want people to stick up for y’all. that statement was so ignorant. We are not black period. i have never seen a black person
@Matt Tang yes affirmative action and civil rights the ones people like her had to fight for in the 60s by marching and getting hose down for you to escape your communist sh1th0le and migrate so you can benefit from the same opportunities by doing historically nothing and exploit tge opportunities people like her had fought for. Yellow person isn't racist buddy.
There is no way you can make it to her age and level of education and not realize that "yellow" is offensive. Especially being someone who has no doubt experienced much racism herself.
My sister married a Thai man while living in Thailand and my nieces and nephews are mixed race. I do not think what she said is really discriminatory or meant to be offensive because we refer to whites and blacks by color. My grandmother was black and my grandfather was Italian and I am fine when people refer to me as tan.
To be honest these Asian Americans are asking to be offended. I am Chinese from China and both we refer to ourselves very regularly as the "yellow race."
To be honest, I'm Asian, and I can't understand why we refer to Caucasians as "White" and African as "black". But using "yellow" for Asian somehow is racist. But if someone called me yellow, that's like a 1 out 10 for level of racism.
I wasn’t even aware that “yellow” was a racial slur and truly believe she didn’t even realize it was seen in a bad light but at the same time, who tf uses the word “yellow” to refer to Asians😂
Well...for AGES people have been identified by the COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN...RED, YELLOW, BLACK and WHITE....strange how people didnt take offense to being called WHITE...HMMMMM?
The fact that she is in charge of COMMUNITY EDUCATION, and is separating children by their race and color is disgusting. And, because she is a black American women doesn’t mean she should get away with this. Asian Americans are being attacked BECAUSE of racism, and this is a good step in communities coming together to stop incidents such as these.
why's it offensive to them?? I dont get it. don't white or yellow people call her black?? please its so stupid its not racist to call her black though??
@@bigew2981 This is not a step to take. I know you’re triggered because she’s black (your inner racism). But, Asians have been referred as that in the past by all people groups. And Africans are called blacks, Caucasians are called whites; so obviously she didn’t mean any harm. She was ignorant to Asian Americans viewing that term as derogatory, as were a lot of us.
I'm Asian decent and was corrected by my student's parent not to use African Americans and instead use blacks. She can't relate to being called African American. She said she's black and all of her experiences we based on being black. I'm just thinking that her use of white and yellow are based on how she sees herself as black. Just a thought, not defending her at all. It's a learning process for all. Hm.... and not all Asians are yellow, the more south you travel in Asia, the browner you get. My first experience with an African American student in elementary school in the US was confusion on who is black. I compared my skin to my African American classmate and we were about the same color and why was she called black. My own ignorance being being to the country. There's so much to learn about each other... Restraint, tolerance, acceptance, celebration, empowerment, equity and more must be embedded in all of our thoughts... and that will take a whole life of education.
@@pinkyminky5661 Every race can be racist even black people. Black people are just affected by racism more than any other race. I believe, and I believe other black people believe this too. which is why pointing out black people can be racist Doesn’t serve no value (purpose) to black people because all the years of racist acts being done to us is ingrained in every black person’s experience. I think that’s what most people are missing when talking to black people about something Or someone/group being racist. I’m not a professor or anything this is what I’m just interpreting.
I am not defending the lady, but I am legitimately confused. Why are the words "white", "black", and "brown" acceptable to use in describing races, but "yellow" is not?
Not only are the terms black and white used in every day conversation, they're even on government documents and job applications. Or did you just land on planet earth, genius?
I’ve never heard anyone use “yellow people” in a professional setting at all before.. why she thought that was ok? 🤷🏻♀️... but also remember when they used to use Caucasian; now they only use white?
I am an Asian American and think "yellow" while an unfortunate choice of words, it's not as devastating to me as the outrage would suggest. I certainly don't think she was being a racist, especially since she from an older generation that used this term in the past. This woman isn't a rabid anti-Asian racist, and I am so sick and tired of all the outrage in our world just because we *feel* like we were dissed. The word yellow isn't even in the Top 40 of offensive things said to me for being Korean.
I don't even know where the term "yellow" came from, Asian people aren't Yellow. But, she apologized so all is well right? I bet that wouldn't be the case if someone called her the N word.
I hear what you're saying but we use black, white, brown, and red to describe people who aren't literally those colors. I didn't know it was offensive to use yellow to describe Asians. I'm glad I know now but I assumed that was the color used for Asians.
Similar to the N word, "yellow" refers back to the 1920's when Yellow Peril aka Yellow Fear propaganda was used to dehumanize Asian people in America. It is not just a color for us Asians. This term was later brought back during the vietnam war and has been pushed into the late 80s where it finally died due to the anti racism movements of that time. I agree with everything you said, sarcasm and all 🤣
@@Centurion305 Other Asians say they refer to themselves as yellow to describe their race so it's not really like the n-word, is it? Seems like if yellow were an offensive term than Asians using colors to refer to other races should be offensive as well, right?
@@cu5864 well those other asians would be ignorant of the fact of where that term comes from just as the same with the n-word. Just because ignorant people use a term does not make it ok, does it? Obviously not.
@@Centurion305 Well, you're ignorant for suggesting that using the color yellow is the same as using the n-word, imo. There are derogatory names for Asians that is similar to using the nword but yellow isn't one of them. Using the word yellow to describe someones race is no different than using the word black to desribe someones race. Black, in and of itself, comes with negative connotations by definition. However, I don't think other races are trying to be offensive when they refer to people with rich BROWN skin as black. When you call a person black you're not trying to be offensive, are you?
This happens when you judge the color of skin, not content of character. I guess all those opposed to this women's comments would also support the fight against Critical Race Theory?
dont EDUCATED people refer to people of african diaspora as "blackS" and europeans as white all the damn time ? how is it different? because EAST asians are not used to being called yellow? Theyy used to be called orientals for thousands of years then they didnt like that so then they named themselves "asian" - but for centuries all over the world "asian" referred to people of india. Now when they say they are "asian" in some parst of the world you dont know if they are talking about Souh asians (india, pakis, bangladesjis etc) or east asians (chiney, japs, viets, koreans etc) because they dont like to be called EASt asian either- let them go bite rocks.
@@b1bo840 because most asians dont wanna be called yellow. I dont feel that it's that offensive, it's just annoying(for me as an asian). Being called a label you don't want. Plus yellow is an ugly skin color, like someone who has jaundice or some type of sickness. I think the asians in this interview are demanding too much, I feel like the woman genuinely didn't know it was insulting. And the weird culture in the US that everyone has to be profiled according to color.
@@maxblaser4939 Maybe she honestly thought it was the same as saying white or black. Most people I've met have no idea some southeast asians don't want to be called yellow. By the way, I don't think the term Caucasian covers what you think. Iranians are 100% Caucasian even though they're 100% Asian. Russians are not Caucasian at all but most Russians are European. When people say Asian they usually aren't referring to Saudi Arabians or Georgians and I've never heard anyone refer to my Egyptian sister in law as African American. For things like blind dates, sometimes it's useful to have a descriptive word or two to pick someone out of a crowd.
It's racist to say yellow? Could be. Didn't really know that. It more like sounds unusual. People rather say "Asian". Interestingly, saying "white" or "black" is not offensive. I'm a bit unsure about "oriental" maybe sounds a bit archaic. She kind of used it together with the word white. She seems more like ignorant.
"Yellow" itself sounds super racist. There is no skin color such as yellow if you think about it. There are fair skinned Asians(even more pale than average White people), brown Asians.... But Yellow? Ive always wondered who the fuck started to call Asians "yellow" lol I've once compared my skin color with an Italian (who wasn't even tanned or anything) and I was paler than him. 🤷
Maybe south Asian for the Indian subcontinent East Asian for China Japan Korea South East Asian for phillipine, Cambodia Vietnam Oriental is for things (rugs etc), it's deemed offensive to call a person oriental. It means foreign, the British empire considered Istanbul and the mid East as the orient, not sure how it ended up being specifically used for further east.
@@henri.r94 black and yellow has nothing to do with black or Asian people. It's the colour of his car that he was singing about. Also Pittsburgh Steelers, Wiz khalifa loved them.
I am East Asian (Chinese-American ABC) and always referred to myself as _Yellow._ When did it become offensive? It was the color of royalty worn exclusively by Emperors. In Chinese the word for the color yellow (黄) and the word for royal (皇) are both homonyms and synonyms pronounced "huang" or "wong." My father considered being designated as a compliment. It might be inaccurate but _White_ people aren't white. _Black_ people aren't black. (Well maybe in rare circumstances) The only thing that I was offended by was the implication in her statements that seemed to suggest the debunked stereotype that most Asians in the USA are wealthy, privileged, and receive the same privilege as _white_ Americans. Although the mean income is amongst the highest for Asians, that's because we face the widest wealth gap. Most Asians lived near, at, or below the poverty line until recently. Today in NYC, where this woman presides, Asians have the highest poverty rate out of any racial/ethnic group. www.urban.org/urban-wire/asian-americans-are-falling-through-cracks-data-representation-and-social-services And we face many of the same barriers and discriminations as other POC and immigrant communities, are instantly identifiable as an _other_ and can't pass for _white._
Some black don’t want to call them black, but preferred African Americans...I have black friend who corrected me for use the word black. when I use the word African Americans, and they are the one kept using black..
Honestly as an Asian “yellow” isn’t offensive at all to me I mean if u said the c-word i would be a bit offended. I honestly think they’re over reacting.
@@thhdhn2 yeah I feel like some people take some things as offensive and some simply do not, I'm a person with brown skin who does not mind being referred to as black at all but I cannot speak for ALL of black people. And I know that older generations use certain terms like colors for ALL people ext.. These colors describing people I have read in literature, heard in music, I think even read in a bible verse but I can't remember fo sure. Basically I think back in the day when people were colonizing they likely were like we're going to distinguish everyone by a color and that was that.
Democrats have just lost the Asian vote. Look for a GOP turn around in NYC. The City Council, Mayor, Public Officials, Borough Presidents....they all have to go. NYC needs a change.

If you’ve ever read any of my RUclips comments I’ve NEVER referred to any race by “color”.
I’ve always been against that reference to any race because it’s negative and racist! We aren’t colors in a crayon box!
You two are onto a great discussion that needs to happen in a bigger forum and in a productive way.
Communication often requires itemizing people, things, feelings, etc. in specific boxes.
A “mode of transportation” doesn’t always cut it. Was it legs? A bike? A motorcycle, car, bus, plane? A 2-door car, 4-door, convertible, truck, suv, red, blue, extra cab, and so on.
The tighter the box, the clearer the conversation becomes. Communicating about people is no different.
So how do we refer to each other in a way that clearly communicates yet does not infuriate?
The issue gets even more difficult when there is no real consensus. I have a cousin who has “brown pride” tattooed on his forearms. He clearly takes pride in our Hispanic background. Yet, if someone called him brown, he would be pissed.
“Asian” really shouldn’t work, as it should include everyone from Asia right? Russia, India, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Tibet, etc.
African American doesn’t really cut it, as there are probably a billion people of the same race who are not Americans. Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight champ boxer...is he African American?
There needs to be an honest, open, and sincere dialogue about this...the keyword is “sincere”.

Seeing color, making sure there is no discrimination and reporting all discrimination is the answer.

When my first born was a 4-year-old (14 years ago!) he was telling me about his new friends he played with at the playground. Since these were kids he just met playing at the playground he didn't know their names. He told me about "the white boy". Then he told me about "the green boy". I said, "what green boy"? He pointed to a boy and said "that green boy". It turned out that the green boy was a boy with a green shirt on and the white boy was a boy wearing a white shirt. I will never forget that moment and realised that kids are only taught by adults to distinguish people by their skin color. It's not natural to them. And I noticed this from my other 2 kids as well. They've taught me to try (sometimes successfully and other times unsuccessfully) not using skin color to distinguish people.

I just think the woman was just severely uneducated growing up on what the culturally right terms and words are. She probably thought “yellow” was just a nickname and maybe thought it was genuinely not offensive, so part of me doesn’t want to blame her because maybe her upbringings just sucked on teaching unfortunately. But, at the same time, if you’re already at that high degree of status and education, you should already educate yourself at that stage on what words are right and wrong, especially in the 21st century and especially in a diverse country like the US, so in terms of that aspect she may be argued to fall faulty.
A number of Asians have brown skin. Few even have white skin lol
I actually really agree with you as well,
With terms like whites and blacks being so wildly use.. I can see the unawareness of her words. And while she should def apologize we as people also need to let people learn from their mistakes and become better.
As far as this story, it sounds like it happened once, im not sure if it would be fair to assume that shes racist just not educated in these terms.
I don't think what she did was all that bad. It sounds off, because we don't really refer to Asians as yellow anymore because it used to be used to degrade them, but that's the same thing with calling someone black, however that's completely fine in our country. I don't think she's racist or meant any harm, she probably slipped up because she was referring to the other races by their color terms, so decided to do the same with asian.

We say white and Black people, how could anyone just assume saying "yellow" was bad if they don't know the history of the context?

@@clownenergy6337 You kinda answered your first comment with your second comment. Asians don't speak for themselves because Asians are very divided to begin with. First, there are the haves and half-nots. The haves are not willing to jeopardize their wealth and social standing to fight for the rights of half-nots. To break it down even further, the half-nots tend to be those who live in places like Chinatown, Korea town, little Saigon, the Asian descendants (some Coolie descendants) who are literally "trapped." The halves tend to be the newer immigrants who came here after the economic boom in Asia. There is also the Japanese/Chinese/Korean vs the pacific islanders, then there is non-Indian Asians vs Indians, and then the Korean hates the Japanese, while everyone hates the Chinese.

Wait, you can say white, black, brown but you can't say yellow? That's some bullshit.
Imagine calling a group negro and saying I didn't know it was offensive
That's an American thing. Latins and Europeans people have no such history or concept of that word being hateful. It's a color to them.
No negro is not the equivalent at all in america. I've heard of school kids using this actual slur and it is not by calling them a color. But I do not say it or use it and that word I'm thinking of would be the equivalent of calling a black person negro in a slanderous way. Also my old calculus teacher in college who had a brilliant mind was black and he and his twin brother went to harvard and went on to do a series of impressive things and then one decided he loved teaching so became a college professor. He would refer to himself and friends of his that were white as negro and say things like "negro please" when he was telling a story. He was incredibly knowledgable and had a very colorful personality and was using the word in a certain context and clearly grew up using the word to describe people. When I heard a Lady GaGa song say "you're orient" I thought only OLDER generations used that word to describe people, so I was very confused and I didn't think the singer was trying to be discriminatory but the opposite. I think some older people speak that way but when it's a young person I don't really understand that b/c I feel like you don't grow up with that now. As time progresses I've always figures as a society continues the older people who speak that way will die out.

You call us blacks, they call Caucasians whites and asians yellow so wtf is the problem?
@Chris Williams Caucasians aren't white at all, there all pinkish red yet people continue to call them white so whats your point???
I've only used peoples names when I meet them and if I don't know their name I will introduce myself when need be. I never refer anyone by their race I wasn't taught that way and we never seen my parents differentiate people either. My father was a proud Irish and my mother was a Native American both worked long hours and were looked up to in the community.
You were raised in the standard American family where the character of an individual was supreme. This malignant critical race theory has brought nothing other than misery for all. We have spent over 200-years correcting one form of racism to replace it with an alternative. I don't just want to be equal is just not good enough. I want to be the master. Same sin, different skin tone.
Okay I agree with you on not seeing color. But however that has nothing to do with this situation. The situation involved house turn education affected two different nationalities of students. Now the way she described the one nationality of students was apparently wrong. So in this case your argument of being forced to not to see color or nationality is mute in this case and shouldn't have even been brought up as an argument and this in particular discussion. Context of facts actually matter
@@joesephnicholls1363 not seeing color has everything to do with this situation. She was upset because they were trying to make it so color was less of a factor in education. The problem is, this woman obviously sees color as paramount to her worldview and could care less to educate herself about what is acceptable to say when color is so important to her. On the other hand, if she had chosen to look at all people as equal and throw color completely out the window, then she wouldn't be a bigot for not knowing the right terms because the terms wouldn't come out of her mouth to begin with. Critical race theory is what demands we know the thousands of words and terms that could make you a racist.
It's not exactly surprising she didn't know that term was a slur since Caucasians are now called white and African Americans are now called black, but then again; if she just had the stance that all people were equal, she could almost eliminate terms for race and color from her vocabulary.
That's not to say one can't have grievances about racism towards your race if it is present. But in that case, one should know what the appropriate terms are for their own race and the oppressive race (if there is one) and then make their case. If one is trying to say there is racism against a particular race they are not a part of, if they do not know the acceptable terms for that race and the oppressive race, then it's quite evident they don't know enough about that situation to open their mouth in a public forum about the racism they're trying to stop.
So basically what this amounts to is she obviously wasn't qualified to talk about this. And in this day and age we live in, if you aren't qualified to talk about racial issues, you shouldn't talk them in front of hundreds of people where you could personally offend somebody or your job could be on the line.
@@jaredh9463 listen she may have knowingly or unknowingly used that racial slur on purpose. As of right now there's not enough information to make that determination. However whether she should have known as a public school teacher is there actually a different debate. But however since she is a senior school teacher for apparently several decades she is definitely should be well-trained enough to determine if certain groups of people are getting the proper education that they'd need according to their own ethnic background raisings. It is Well documented and a proven fact according on what race you are where you was born raised and where your educational District where your Childhood school was in can dictate your common knowledge when it comes to most SAT scores. For prime example when it comes to SAT scores the black community is disenfranchised and gets a much lower score average simply their social upbringing. And even a lot of highly respected Scholars have come to the conclusion that a lot of these SAT scores is in a hire language bracket then taught to students in inner cities. Which in Translation means they have more language that is more associated with more white and upper-class people that simply isn't taught to kids in the inner city and poor people. Sometimes it simply comes to a matter of simple type of language that differs from the inner city kids the more whiter and rich areas. And that's only one in particular example of how different races in our own country can be disenfranchised from morning making it a little bit more difficult four different race cultures. It says she been a teacher for decades she would definitely be qualified to notice these in particular differences and her students where certain curriculum will have to be adjusted for everybody to be on the same level knowledge. I'm not a teacher so I don't know all these different categories. But this teacher has the Decades of knowledge to know. That's the point I'm trying to make. So the sum of my point yes she made a mistake by using this racial phrase. And her actions definitely were apparently inappropriate according to her Decades of knowledge and teachings she definitely seems qualify to make her assumption on pinpoint teachings two different ethical backgrounds. Just the way she went on by explaining herself was apparently wrong. So like I said previously but how you started your opinion of the situation didn't match the point that you actually made about being blind to color period And if she was being blind to color in this instance she wouldn't have been able to identify the the possible issues that she discovered and try to explain to everybody. Just like social workers teachers are trained to look at all indicators to find out solutions to help their clients and students. And for a teacher and just like a psychiatrist in order to get to the route of the problem sometimes you can't be blind to color because sometimes color and needs in particular instances is the solution. And only way you can solve big equations you cannot be blind to anything. You actually have to be open-minded to any possible situation and outcome that may occur. So in a way some teachers have learned skills to be unofficial psychologist in order to do their jobs at a very high efficiency.
@@joesephnicholls1363 I don't really disagree with your attitude about a typical administrator because they are in a position to make changes, but I really don't think this lady knew she was being racist. But more importantly we have to get off of race more and focus more on the particulars outside of race. Right now race is almost considered the only factor when it comes to the disparity between the races when it has more to do with culture and values. Culture and values are not linear with race. There are Chinese gangs and there are Black grandfathers with 4 married children and mostly married grandchildren that play chess at the senior center. If children and adults are told that race is the only factor in the science, than Blacks are scientifically permanently stuck in a broken state. It is that simple.
And this will be the view that all people will have about black people (including Blacks most of all) and that is absolutely a 100% racist mindset.
It is just disgraceful for people like the Obamas to insinuate their children have it the same as an orphan in Baltimore, just because they have ancestors that came from the same continent 200 years ago and the tone of their skin gives that away.
It just makes me sick.
We should base benefits and programs on many factors with race further down the list of perceptible causation. If we did that, we could place the blame on who it really belongs;
1.people that have kids that don't raise them right
2.child caregivers and educators that treat kids like animals
And
3.administrators, judges and leaders of society that tie the hands of parents, teachers and those that should be able to put their foot down and be able to straiten kids out when they are on the wrong path.
And based on what I saw, this administrator is part of the problem that is destroying so many young people's lives.
As a Japanese person I know that “yellow” is considered a slur word for us East Asians, but I’m honestly confused why it’s such a big deal. We can use the term white people, and not yellow people? After all, they are just colours that define our ethnicity.
You have to understand that in America, we are constantly trying to promote racial tribalism amongst minorities, that treats race, culture, and nationality as indistinguishable. If a white person who's never been to Europe calls himself a European, you know he's a White Nationalist. I have no doubt the reason people insist on calling people who've never been to Asia "Asians" is largely rooted in promoting this same kind of tribalism.

Similar to the N word, "yellow" refers back to the 1920's when Yellow Peril aka Yellow Fear propaganda was used to dehumanize Asian people in America. It is not just a color for us Asians.

Ive always wondered who the fuck started to call Asians "yellow" lol I've once compared my skin color with an Italian (who wasn't even tanned or anything) and I was paler than him. 🤷
Maybe south Asian for the Indian subcontinent
East Asian for China Japan Korea
South East Asian for phillipine, Cambodia Vietnam
Oriental is for things (rugs etc), it's deemed offensive to call a person oriental. It means foreign, the British empire considered Istanbul and the mid East as the orient, not sure how it ended up being specifically used for further east.
@@henri.r94 black and yellow has nothing to do with black or Asian people. It's the colour of his car that he was singing about. Also Pittsburgh Steelers, Wiz khalifa loved them.
I am East Asian (Chinese-American ABC) and always referred to myself as _Yellow._ When did it become offensive? It was the color of royalty worn exclusively by Emperors. In Chinese the word for the color yellow (黄) and the word for royal (皇) are both homonyms and synonyms pronounced "huang" or "wong." My father considered being designated as a compliment.
It might be inaccurate but _White_ people aren't white. _Black_ people aren't black. (Well maybe in rare circumstances)
The only thing that I was offended by was the implication in her statements that seemed to suggest the debunked stereotype that most Asians in the USA are wealthy, privileged, and receive the same privilege as _white_ Americans. Although the mean income is amongst the highest for Asians, that's because we face the widest wealth gap. Most Asians lived near, at, or below the poverty line until recently. Today in NYC, where this woman presides, Asians have the highest poverty rate out of any racial/ethnic group.

And we face many of the same barriers and discriminations as other POC and immigrant communities, are instantly identifiable as an _other_ and can't pass for _white._
Ty for being respectful
but using "white" & "black" is not racial ? im confused
Does this mean black is also a racial slur? Im so confused... btw Im asian and not offended by yellow lol
Some black don’t want to call them black, but preferred African Americans...I have black friend who corrected me for use the word black. when I use the word African Americans, and they are the one kept using black..
There's no such thing a a yellow person or a race called yellow. Do yes it is a slur
@@jaym.9275 Black isn't a race either no one in Africa calls each other black but call each other by different ethnic names.
Honestly as an Asian “yellow” isn’t offensive at all to me I mean if u said the c-word i would be a bit offended. I honestly think they’re over reacting.
@@thhdhn2 yeah I feel like some people take some things as offensive and some simply do not, I'm a person with brown skin who does not mind being referred to as black at all but I cannot speak for ALL of black people. And I know that older generations use certain terms like colors for ALL people ext.. These colors describing people I have read in literature, heard in music, I think even read in a bible verse but I can't remember fo sure. Basically I think back in the day when people were colonizing they likely were like we're going to distinguish everyone by a color and that was that.
Democrats have just lost the Asian vote. Look for a GOP turn around in NYC. The City Council, Mayor, Public Officials, Borough Presidents....they all have to go. NYC needs a change.
Nah Asians democratic votes have actually increased LOL!
I am shocked this lady has a degree. Of what?? 🤣🤣🤣
How was what she said racist? Serious question...
I thought she said C-word lol
Soooooo.... am I still allowed to call him the "Orange President"??
