    I agree. I don't refer to myself as Black. Furthermore, I come from Nigeria. The word Black was used to distinguish the "White" Slavers as Superior to the "Black" Slaves. I refer to myself as of African descent in my census form. Good on the Sidi who refuse to refer to themselves as "Black".

      We are the only people called black instead of simple African. The reason why the West labelled as black was to separate and divide us. We could have been a strong unity force if we just called ourselves African

      @RJinspire  3 месяца назад

      Trust me my friend, after spending two weeks travelling across so many Siddi villages, I had the same stories that they want to go to Africa but don't know where because their ancestors were stolen and shipped across the world. They feel more like the lost people other people that history forgot, it's sad but they do manage to make their lives as happy as can be.
      Yes, they do feel differently when another african looking person visit their villages but they are very welcoming and sad to let you go. They are fully aware that they are African and that they have African ancestors and what I found intriguing from most of them is the confusion and frustration of not having the slightest idea where in Africa their ancestors might have come from, thanks for liking the video, please share and help raise awareness of the forgotten African Indians, the Siddi people of India

      @@RJinspire Caste means where you are originally from. Which part of Africa are you from? Are you from the slaves that were brought to america? The siddis are similar and this is why they call themselves "siddi". This is their identify(caste). They are not sure which part of Africa they are from.
      If you are not aware which part of Africa you are originally from(your caste), then you have to find you own identity(caste). You can repeat " we don't follow caste in west" as many times as you want but you know very well what I'm asking you. Because it is the same question the siddi brother was trying to ask you again and again but you refused to answer. Maybe you don't know your origin.

      @@RJinspire I have blood relatives in the Caribbean. They are half-indian, half-african. The Caribbeans are considered a different caste. Because they eat different food. Speak a different dialect. Have different culture and customs. Have different history. Sing different songs. Just like siddis, they have their own unique identity. Maybe just like the siddis, the caribbeans too have stopped searching for their origins on the african continent.
      Brother, your origin(caste) is everything. You never stop believing in it. Whatever the west told you is a lie. The Irish, the Saxon, the Slav, the han, everyone is aware of their own caste(origin). Then how can you still say "we don't do caste in west"?

      ​​@@RJinspireI'm Indian and caste system is not what that man commented here. It is not asking were you from, but which community or certain froup people or family you are born into. It's much complicated than race and has a history of discrimination much before racism and slavery. So if someone ask about your caste in India, they definitely want to know which group you belong to according to the hindu varna system and will choose to treat you like that. Basically they just want to know whether you are an upper caste or lower caste. Caste system is illegal. But here they still practice it.

      Talk about the Sid’s not wanting to be identified with Africans . Well they are who they want to think they are. But among these Sidis communities they do perform some of their cultural dancing skills which resemble a tribe here in Kenya known as the Kamba people. The dress codes of their dancing are bright colors of yellow and green and they dance while beating drums. I have watched that video here in RUclips. And there are a lot of similarities. So they are our relatives who were taken as slaves from the East African coast. Our Kamba people were big traders during that time of slave trade. They traded with the Arabs. And the Portuguese.
      Their ancestors may have been slaves, traders or also World war Soldiers. That’s the 1st and 2nd word wars

    3:05, that's incorrect. There is no such thing as a Christian caste. Christian is a faith based social group. Siddis are a tribe and because it is such a small community, further caste classification is not feasible.
    Caste is very much prevalent amogst Indian Christians. Each community has their own church. Caste may not exist in theory but does so in practice. This applies to the Muslims too. India has many different types of classifications. Varna, Jaati, Gnyati etc. Actually caste is a Portuguese construct that is loosely appropriated to the Varna classification.
    Indians have always termed the Siddis as a tribe rather than a caste.
