Why are we confusing race with ethnicity or nationality? Only two people here are mixed race and mixed ethnicity. The other three are ethnically mixed, but are white. Lexi touches on this confusion somewhat when she answered the question about "Where are you from?" As a multiracial and multiethnic person, I've seen this confusion all my life. This said, each person's perspective about being transnational and raised in Asia is interesting.
Thanks that someone else expressed this. What different human races are there? I was under the impression that there is only one? Different ethnical backgrounds, different shade of skin, different cultures... but I consider us all to be one race.
@@vaiki Usually it's goes like 1. European 2. Central and Southern African 3. North African and Middle East 4. East Asian & Native American 5. South Asian & Central Asian 6. Melanasian
I am pretty confused by those titles in these videos. They record it in Korea and it's probably done by Koreans, maybe they just understand to these things differently than we do in western culture. Czech and Romanian is not only the same race, but even the same ethnicity, if you compare average person from that country, not member of minorities like romani and others. We have a lot of Romanians in work here in Czechia, sometimes you can spot that theya are not a native Czechs, but sometimes you can't. Interesting about these nations like Romanians or Ukrainians is that males mostly still have hair even after 30 years old, while most of Czechs are bald like me. 🙂 When you say "eastern european face" I mostly imagine that arrow made from hair on their foreheads, which Czechs mostly don't have, but Slovaks do.
Race is a social construct and not scientific. If you have to classify based on race then there are only 3 races. Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid. Caucasian in this case includes Europeans, west and south Asians.
Unless you went into the mixes of Russian identities - ie Dagestan is still a part of Russia per say.... but they aren't considered to be ethnically Russian. Same things with the Tar Tars. It's kind of up in the air because there are Dagestanis who who ethnically Dagestani and who are not white and there are Tar Tars who are not white... so like.... we're talking about groups of people who have no defined race associated to them.
Race is really an antiquated term that has no scientific basis, so yes, when most people who aren't racist say the word "race", they actually mean "ethnicity".
"People think everyone speaks english , because not everyone does" loved this phrase by Lexi , the english today is the "Franca" language of the world , but not necessarily everyone must learn
Mixed race, mixed nationality are different 😮 I’m mixed race white European with North African and I often hid it growing up only because I don’t know my North African family side, heritage or ethnicity. I think if you grow up not knowing one side of your family it can make you feel less connected and less understanding of who you are.
I love new topics , loved this one too , the perspective about mix of people color for me depends on the person and the culture as well , the guy Indian + Korean is pretty good explaining , hope see more of him
As an Indian I am interested about Sungmins Pakistan and Indian connection. Damn even in last video his language said he is from India but Pakistan has this mix of languages in general (urdu+punjabi). But yeah he is good looking.
Loved the chance to speak of a less talked about perspective: being mixed! Proud to be who I am and happy to have met some other great people who share similar experiences 🥰 Hope you enjoyed! -Lexi
I love being a mixed ethnic person! Maybe cuz I’m from the US but when people ask me where I’m from, I feel so much joy to share where I’m from because I know it’s a random mix. Even tho I don’t like to talk to people much, it makes for a good convo. Plus I have so much pride of my parents countries.
Sometimes I ask where people where they come from if I notice that they don't come from my country. Not to judge them but because it's interesting, they might also be able to teach me something I didn't know.
Many/most people today are mixed ethnicity/culture, but that doesn't always make them mixed race. If you aren't admitting that you are an American (when you are), and you have the opportunity to show others that not all Americans are annoying or whatever, you aren't helping address stereotypes. I have never denied being an American when I've been abroad.
I remember my father telling me once that if I was ever on a plane that was hijacked, to ditch my passport and tell everyone I'm Canadian, because more hijackers hate Americans than Canadians...
@@jtidema your father the terrorism expert assumes that they would even bother go through the aisles to ask everyone where they are from in the middle of a high jacking. 😂
The United States is a country of immigrants, there is no such thing as a pure American and if it did exist, they would be the aborigines (called Native Americans) all the rest are descendants of immigrants with different backgrounds.
Only the black American girl and the Korean/Indian guy are multiracial/mixed race, the rest are just mixed ethnicity/multiethnic. Still a super fun video, maybe just edit the title
Well how is the Korean/Indian guy “mixed race” if both his parents are Asian. Indians are south Asian. Koreans are East Asian. This is why “race” is a weird concept.
In the USA both Koreans and Indians are classified under the same race, Asian. The thing to keep in mind is that race is a social construct so perception will vary. Also some people don’t consider anyone who is Jewish to be white.
@@anastasia-fr1gn Asian is not a race. Asian means people from the continent of Asia. They can have different shades of skin colors, different face features. Indian and Korean are physically different.
@@anastasia-fr1gn Asian isn't a race .-. indian and korean people have completly different features to be considered the same race just because they come from the same continent.
Being from the Levant, people in a good portion of Asia (16 people ~70% of people I’ve met from 6 countries), most of Africa (20+ people ~85% of people I’ve met from 9 countries), and literally the majority of South America (15 people ~95% of people from 5 countries ) seem not surprised at all by how we look, and might live However when people come from more than half of Europe (30+ people I’ve met ~50% from 4 West European countries) or especially North America (20+ people I’ve met 100% of Americans and 9 of 16 Canadian people), seemed shocked as our appearance and lifestyle did not match expectations, and some even thought there’s a “conspiracy” of sorts and that we’re all fake … YOU figure out who that was !! So basically it depends on the people you meet, there’s NO “universal” code, there are only myths and dominant ideoligies, basically prejudices of each people and thankfully, all people of earth do NOT share all of them … yet. On another note, some of the answers to “ethnicity” in the video were kinda converted to “what language I speak” rather than ethnicity by participants 😂 but that’s understandable and makes more sense for most cases, not all.
Race-Culture dichotomy:- The mixed- racial people often try to enjoy their multiple ethnic sides but miss the fact that they are culturally different from their native ethnic people- this difference of culture leads to improper bonding.
I don’t understand why the two white girls are being referred to as mixed “race”, there are white people both in Russia and in the us, as well as the Czech Republic. In fact, there are different races in many countries, I for once would also consider the Jewish guy in the back to be white. It seems the word “race” is being misused in this video.
Today’s topic is very good👍 I’m Japanese. I have cousin who are mixed race UK and Japan. They speak English and Japanese. One day, I was said “You can speak English because you have cousin who speak English, can’t you?” I was uncomfortable when I heard that. At that time, I talked in Japanese when I talked with them. But, now I use both languages, English and Japanese when talking with my cousin.
some of the people in the comment section are typing about is the fact that this video is titled ' "I Lied My Nationality" Do All Multiracial People Think The Same? ' which is incorrect for ALL : a .

I'm English and I can trace my ancestry back all the way to the 1200's. I've also done an ancestry DNA test and apparently I'm 96% English, 2% German and 1% Norwegian. I'm proud of my heritage and I also love hearing about other people's genetic makeup and their own family stories too.
So English as in Breton? Wouldn't it otherwise show as German (Saxon)/ Danish? The interesting thing is my family is from eastern Prussia and we all did a DNA test some years ago for Christmas and the fascinating thing is that my Grandpa's DNA qualified about half as Baltic and half Germanic of which most was qualified as English and Norwegian, so I wonder wether "English" is used for isolated Saxon descendant populations in those DNA tests
That Czech/Romanian girl is not "mixed race"... She is pure European,she has different ancestry but thats normal in Europe. You cant say a Germ,an/Polish mix is a different "race" for example.
I really don't underastand why the pakistani guy is so ashamed of his heritage. I feel like any person should have a minimum respect for their country.
Since when american, asian and latino are a race? "American" is a nationality or a word to describe someone that comes from the America continent, "asian" also describes that someone comes from Asia and "latino" is a cultural feature that includes language, history and culture and it's not exclusive for spanish-speaking countries; portuguese, brazilian, french, canadians, italians, romanians, angolans, swiss, belgians, senegalese and basically anyone that speaks spanish, french, italian, portuguese, romanian, romansh and any other language that comes from latin as their first language are latinos, it doesn't have anything to do with ethnicity or skin color.
I think that idea that these nationalities or ethnicities are "races" is common everywhere except Europe where we literally banned all such ideas after WWII and people who speak like that are mostly considered nazis or uneducated.
@@familyandfriends3519 dude no, puerto ricans aren't spanish because they're not from Spain, but OF COURSE they're hispanic (again, not a race nor ethnicity but a cultural characteristic) because they speak spanish and the culture they have comes from the spanish conquerors and the african and native american slaves they used to have.
Interesting. Never knew some people didn't like being asked where they are from. I thought it was some of the most basic questions during conversation. In NY, when asked where you are from, everyone would just tell you where their parents/grandparents are from, followed by telling you that they themselves were born in the states(if they were) or letting you know around what year or at what age they came to the States, which makes for good conversation to get to know each other. I'm honestly surprised that 3 people were on the right side.
Probably because only non-White people get asked this, like the assumption is you must believe only White Americans to be true Americans. Also, if you want to know where someone’s parents or grandparents are from, why ask not ask that instead of asking a question that assumes they must be a foreigner in their own country?
Just speaking for myself the problem isn’t asking where I’m from but not accepting my response. Plus not everyone is interested in sharing their life stories or even knows their family history. There are people who are adopted.
@@ArcasBelissari White American people do get asked where they are from but not usually with the same intention. I’m black and I try to decipher what exactly I’m being asked because sometimes it’s an accent thing or just an ice breaker and people just want to know what state or city you are from. But sometimes the question is meant to “other” you which they don’t do to white Americans unless they are dark complected. I have noticed whenever there is someone from a European country on here who isn’t white.
@@ArcasBelissari I actually only got asked it in a weird way in Jamaica. The bartender asked where I was from. I said the US.. he asked where again.. I thought he meant city or state. So I said Maryland, Baltimore DC area. He said no I mean like China, Japan, Korea? I’m not even part Asian, so it was a little confusing.. so I can’t imagine what it’s like to get asked that all the time in the place you are from. Must get pretty old quick.
@@ran_d_d Something similar happened when I was in Thailand. A shopkeeper asked me where I was from, and I answered Australia. Then he said "You're not originally from Australia though, are you?" (I am, but non-white) I found that a bit presumptive and wondered why he couldn't just accept my answer. And in my own country I do get the "Where are you from?" all the time as well
@@CT-7567R3X I think that he may have been excluding Sungmin, actually. I would not consider him biracial, but people will undoubtedly differ on whether being Korean and Indian constitutes biraciality; they are both in Asia, but in different parts of the continent. In any case, this channel is from the very homogeneous South Korea, so it probably has a different concept of race from that which Westerners like myself do.
@@douglasandrews8977 Asian is not a race. That is just a misleading concept in US census. Asian means people from the continent of Asia. They can have different shades of skin color, different features. Average people Indian and Korean are obviously different (physically).
...yeah you messed it up quite a bit. Mixed race and Mixed ethnicity are very different. Ethnically I am Russian (and even within Russia we can break that up and said that I am half Russian and half Dagestani) But at the core of it, I'm still white. Like I have family that live in Russia and I have family that live in Armenia, Iran and Turkey - culturally - very mixed and ethnically too - but I'm still white... And I'll say this much - only Europeans have been able to look at me and identify by (by look) as Russian lol or other Russians themselves. Generally, in America, they can't tell.
I think the differences on the question "Where are you from?" might tell us more about the differences between men and women than anything else. It's unfortunate the young lady of Nigerian and Puerto Rican ancestry lives where she does in the states, this subjects her to constant gaslighting and people's viewpoints there start to become jaded when asked about their ethnicity. Meadow's answers are understandable, she probably gets her mother's good looks, and maybe can only substitute Finland or one of the Baltic states instead of Russia in order to avoid confrontations with people. Rather than having to answer for two knucklehead leaders, it's easier to just say S. Korea. The young lady of Czech/Romanian ethnicity would get mistaken for Swedish or Norwegian ethnicity here in Wisconsin. She's very pretty and fair skinned. We do have a fair number of Bohemians living with the Bavarians around Oshkosh, and even my family spent their last few years in Bavaria (before 1880), living in Bischopfsreut, which is only a few miles from the Czech border.
The problem is more about their response to her answer rather than asking her the question where are you from?Some people have already formulated their answers in their mind and act like they know more about you than you do. My family is American, been here since early 1700s. and I have had people argue with me when I say I and my family are from the United States. If they ask her where are you from and she said California and they said cool there wouldn’t be an issue. TBH Where are you from is usually answered in the USA by giving a state and isn’t an ethnicity question.
This topic confuses the idea of race and nationality. Some of the nationalities represented here, i.e. United States, Brazil and Puerto Rico have no connection with race. Citizens of these countries can be any one race or any combination of races. So calling those who are citizens of these countries and another country may not be multiracial at all.
I’ve had so many people tell me to just say I’m Canadian when I travel. I sometimes have people say some negative things when they hear me talking, but I don’t like to lie and I agree with trying to change perception a little. So it’s better to be honest and maybe help change someone’s opinion.
I have never lied about being American. But I don’t necessarily volunteer the information. Part of the reason is I don’t always feel comfortable with the perks of being American. a lot of people see Americans as 💴 💰 and vendors and hospitality workers will start kissing my ass. It’s actually made me feel embarrassed at some places to see the workers fawn over me while talking to poor locals and migrants like dirt. I can’t stomach tourist traps for long.
@@anndeecosita3586 yeah I don’t just go around saying it.. but if someone asks I’m honest. I mostly just do my own thing and no one even talks to me.. but when I have family around it’s a very different experience. My step dad is from Naples Italy, my moms side is from Estonia. So I spend some time in places where if i’m around other travelers they get kinda weird with me. I always try to brush that stuff off though and be as polite as possible when I get the “how many languages do you speak, I speak 5” kinda questions. I get what you mean though about the privilege. In addition to that, I can’t help but be pissed off at situations where it’s very hard for someone from parts of the world to travel as freely as well just because of the country they’re born in or the passport they hold.
i m not getting one thing why indian+korea+pakistan boy says sometimes india sometime pak ...is he trying to do the same wat pakistanis do in foreign country that is hiding his pakistani identity and trying to b indian
Brazil is the most multiracial country in the world. Brazilians don't have a face to describe "you look like a brazilian", being a brazilian i have to say it's not easy to describe our skin color, each one has different ton, it's very confusing.
It’s the same in Dominican Republic, that’s why the 80s and lady from my City Moca created the doll name "Muñecas sin rostro" o "Muñecas Limé", because we are mix race country. Liliana Mera Limé is the name of the creator of this dolls.
@@anndeecosita3586 Yes, this video does not make sense because they confuse ethnicity and race. For us Brazilians, the majority there is white (European); and only two are mixed.
Bro the Nigerian pueto rican girl must have animosity towards her mother she does not even acknowledge her Nigerian side she keeps reducing it to “black”🤔
If she had a great great great hreat great grandfather/mother who wasn't italian, she doesn't "feel" non-italian... If she was born and lived all her life in Italy, if her mom and dad the same, if her culture is all in all italian, why would she feel anything but italian?!. The way you talk is like if you think that it's something that she "hides" because she was ashamed of anything! t's childish to think that you feel this or that because your ancestors you've never met were from another country! Why would she feel "proud" of her supposed "mixed race" ancestry?! Italians, spanish, portuguese and the majority of people from balkans are white, so even if your wife felt proud of anything, she would feel prou of her ancestors' ancestry but not race, because that's the same race! There were arabs in Iberian Peninsula centuries ago and they didn't mixed much with christians, even we both got along. Besides that, this video is about "race" (whatever that means and however it can be measured). There are people in the video that are white, like the guy in wool black sweater and the girl with blue jacket (probably they had someone non-white in their family centuries ago)! Muricans tend to not consider people white if the speak Spanish, which just shows ignorance! What I found so strange is that some muricans don't"consider" a person to be white if they don't have blond hair and blue eyes, but if it's an american in the same condition they consider! Why isn't an italian white if they have brown eyes and hair, but a guy from wherever in Murica if they have brown eyes and hair, they are white?! It doesn't make sense!
@@vervideosgiros1156 I want to say I love how the Italians are very proud of their culture and homeland. They are very cute in the way they flex "100% Italian". Her ancesty shows how closely linked she is to Rome, as it is her birthplace. She is proud to be Italian and never stops talking about it. I'm proud she is proud because I am also a proud European! Her ancestry includes: Spanish, Croat-Serb-Greek, and Lebanese. I want every European to be proud of their heritage👍
@@vervideosgiros1156 true Italia and Greece have shaped European culture and psyche. I love Italian food and we always invite her Greek friend over. I think Italian is the perfect and romantic language
@@vervideosgiros1156 In the USA both Arab and European descent people are legally classified as the SAME race, white. Anyone who says otherwise is extremely ignorant about the American racial classification system. Religion is irrelevant. The North Africans are legally considered Caucasians over here. It’s usually the Southern Europeans I hear trying to separate themselves racially from North Africans.
After watching the video and reading the comments I think some people don’t realize that race is a social construct. What that means is different societies have different ways of grouping people. The mistake is assuming everyone thinks the same way you do. For example some people on here have mentioned European and African as races where in my country these are NOT considered races. People of European, North African, and Middle Eastern descent backgrounds are all considered as white in the USA. So if you are ethnically a Swede you are the same race as a Moroccan. In the USA I’m black. In my country we generally don’t consider someone biracial unless it’s recent but the truth is black Americans are on average 25 percent European descent. However, when some places in Latin America I’m not considered black because I’m not dark skin enough. There are a lot of people who make it more about skin color than lineage. and I’m called mulata, criola, morena and a bunch of other stuff. I have several friends who were considered white in LA and not in the USA because they are too dark skin. When people ask me where I’m from I have to gauge what I think they are asking. Sometimes they just want to know what city, state. But sometimes country or could be asking me by ancestors background. It only bothers me when I answer and people act like the don’t believe me. I’m American and so are my parents, grandparents and great grandparents. But race doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. I have heard white Europeans people called racist for saying nasty things about Roma for example. They have been in Europe for like a thousand years or so I think. I have heard Mexicans called racists for disparaging Guatemalcos. And we all know that there are people who ascribe to the idea of the Aryan race. In South Africa and some other places there is what’s called colored. I have had people approach me speaking English, Spanish, Italian and French. Depends on where I am and if people assume I’m a local.
The guys seemed really based, not thinking every question is some sort of attack against them. Also its very sad how effective all the propaganda fed to us is. In America the media was not allowed to use propaganda against its citizens but the Obama administration made it legal again to do that, and we can see clearly what that has done to the nation over the years.
I never assume a question is an attack. It's the following words and actions that create a negative feeling. If you ask me where I'm from, and I answer Sacramento; and then follow up with the question, "But where are you REALLY from?" It's no longer a pleasant exchange. I've also had people ask me about my ethnicity before even asking my name. If I felt respected in the situation, there would never be an issue..
@@tj_and_lex Don’t let these people gaslight you. They know exactly what you are talking about and are feigning ignorance. And that Obama comment said it all because they othered him for 8 years and then some. How many times did he say he was from Hawaii and people swore he was lying even though his birth certificate proved it. 🤦🏾♀️
My Russian ethnicty and Russian language has nothing related to the war. I don't feel shamed that I was born and raised in Russian society and language. I don't feel ashamed that someone who speak the same language with me is doing war crimes. I don't do that, I don't like that. I'm proud to be Russian
Lexi is absolutely right about the where are you from question in America, they ask that because they don't see you as American and want to know why you look like that lol.
Oh my goodness guys It makes sense for me in a korean word and since I’m not that good in english and i had to translate what I wanted to say in my head! I miss said the name “race” no hard feelings y’all stop it plz
It’s either Czech Republic or Czechia. Czech is the name of a person from Czechia. It’s like saying Korean instead of Korea. You don’t say “I’m from Кorean”
Some people just don't see the difference between noun and adjective. My English is also very basic, but these things work almost the same in all European languages, so I am still surprised by that amount of people who can't use this correctly in English when it's even simplier in English, because adjective and name for person from that country (Czech, German etc...) is mostly the same word.
I think that Hispanics in the USA are generally not as accepting of people who don’t speak Spanish into their inner circles. I have friends who are Hispanic and don’t speak Spanish and they are made to feel badly about it. On the other hand I’m not Hispanic but speak Spanish. I have never had any issues and many of my closest friends are Hispanic. It also depends on what kind of Hispanics you are around. Mexicans tend to think you should look mestizo to speak Spanish versus Caribbean and South Americans are more likely to assume I and lots of other different looking people speak Spanish. So my experience in Dallas is different from Miami. I went to Puerto Rico and most people assumed I was from there. As far as black people not accepting lighter skin people I think it depends on the background and the area. Some black Americans don’t see any foreigners as black regardless of their skin color. But then some people will come to the USA and say they are not black and only want to be identified by their tribe or nationality not as a race. When I lived in a very diverse city no one cared or mentioned my complexion. I only started getting comments when I moved to a place that had a higher concentration of black people. Colorism is usually among people of the same background. And seems to be more of an issue with women and desirability. Where I live now is like 95 percent white. White people who don’t like black people don’t like black people. I don’t think my complexion it matters that much. To a lot of them we all look alike. I used to have a job where I would get called by my coworkers names so much I quit correcting people.
Bueno para ser hispano tenes que hablar español, la gente que asocia tener piel marròn con ser mexicano normalmente son los estadounidenses que nunca estuvieron ni vivieron ni nacieron en paises de habla hispana.
Why the fuck would we include someone who doesn’t speak spanish as a hispanic. Hispanic means spanish speaking for fuck sake we don’t care what your dad is if you can’t even communicate with us in our native language.
US Hispanics are (or become) different than those from Latam, especially the generation that is born in the US because they (immigrants and US born) become Americanized and adopt the English language or Spanglish. I am US born with Mexican born parents and personally my experience has been similar to what you said. I think Latinos in Latam are more accepting than US hispanics and that's probably because every ethnic group is trying to retain their identity in a melting pot nation that is demanding (intentionally and unintentionally) you to become cosmopolitan and adopt a universal idea which is one mind, one value, one moral code, one [civic] culture, and one language. I'm sure it happens to other ethnic groups in the US besides hispanics and it seems to me as if every group is just trying to "survive" by keeping their identity they inherited from their parents
Most countries in the world are monoracial (homogenous), that’s just the truth. Only the USA doesn’t have an average person. Most people in Europe are white, most in Asia are Asian and most in Africa are African. People continue to ask because they know you are also from somewhere else in the world. That’s the easiest I can explain it to people who comes from extremely multiracial societies, such as the USA.
People have been mixing for the past 15+ millennia and it’s an ongoing thing , there’s no single nation of no face land , more than half the nations in the world are what some call mixed, wars, deportations, carnages and economic shifts aren’t a new thing, it’s been happening forever, now there are planes and safer boats, yes, other than that, nothing new, just the reach is greater

Instead of calling it multiracial, call it multiethnic next time. All of them are ethnically mixed, only a few here are racially mixed. Race: White, Asian, Black, Brown Ethinicity: Slav, Scandinavian, Arab, Latino, Han etc. Nationality: Russian, Chinese, Indian, Kenyan, etc. Sometimes ethnicity and Nationality are the same, but most nations are multi ethnic.
I’m from Dominican Republic and almost a mix of everything that had colonize the Americas and when I moved to the United States, people thought I was Puerto Rican or Colombian because people think that because of my skin color “I can’t be Dominican”.
Is there some official short name for Dominican Republic? It seems like they have the same problem as we have in Czech Republic, word Czechia is mostly accepted now, but most of native Czechs are still not used to it and deny to use it. Is "Dominicana" or "Dominicania" a proper name of country in English?
Should the boy be ashamed, calling himself an Indian, he is a Pakistani boy and not an Indian because Indian culture is different from the rest of the world, or he does not seem Indian from any angle, or Urdu is a Pakistani language, not India's.

7:14 Here, it's ALSO a boys vs girls thing 😂- Boys are usually not much guarded about sharing their personal stuff while girls are all cautious and annoyed with the curiosity!
Curiosity is fine, but disrespect is not. I actually love talking about my background but often when I received these questions, people told me I was wrong or made assumptions about me that were unfair and unkind. As a result, I have a bad impression from the question because I've been hurt by it repeatedly. I hope this clears things up.
@@tj_and_lex Yeah the intention is supreme indicator whether it's just a basic 'trying to be friends' or 'r u an immigrant?' - Though this assumption thing you mentioned- it's the 'curse of knowing'. People generally try to understand new things with the past or base knowledge they have. To me this explanation is *made up by the white to get a pass or to calm their conscience* while being passively racist. - But still many among the shades of brown clinging to this curse of past know-how remain in the bubble.
i've my fake accent and everyone people ask me oh you are foreigner and they don't believe that i'm Nepali and i always had to lie about my nationality, which is more frustrating and they assume that i can speak English or Hindi wtf they never talk me i Nepali language, i really hate being having my fake accent
The experiences from the Nigerian-Puerto Rican are some that I definitely relate to, now, because I'm mixed and I dont have like any of the "stereotypical" features, Ive had many people that have been very ugly about it. Whenever I started to work at my part-time job, I did had many americans act like 8:41, I've had some that are like "you aint American right? You look too cute and exotic to be from here"
Russia and white US: still white and white. Romania and CZ: still white and white. might have been the same country at some point. Ireland and Ukraine: would still be white if it wasn't for the Jewish ancestry. if the first 2 lived in either of their countries and spoke the language, no one would question them on where they are from and i wouldn't really suspect the 3rd guy is a foreigner if i met him on the street in my predominantly while country. (he might stand out a bit if he goes to Ireland. or not)
i think he is not indian... he is again and again saying pakistan and urdu... i think he is from pakistani punjab not from indian punjab.....i think u r showing his wrong nationality....
Why are we confusing race with ethnicity or nationality? Only two people here are mixed race and mixed ethnicity. The other three are ethnically mixed, but are white. Lexi touches on this confusion somewhat when she answered the question about "Where are you from?" As a multiracial and multiethnic person, I've seen this confusion all my life. This said, each person's perspective about being transnational and raised in Asia is interesting.
Thanks that someone else expressed this. What different human races are there? I was under the impression that there is only one? Different ethnical backgrounds, different shade of skin, different cultures... but I consider us all to be one race.
@@vaiki Usually it's goes like
1. European
2. Central and Southern African

Claire and Meadow are not mixed race! They have a mix of quite similar ethnicities. Same with the white guy.
thank you I WAS HOPING I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE
Actually a mix of Romanian-Czech, Irish-Ukraine and USA-Russian is not a mix-race but rather a mix-nationality. I assume these are different things...
I am pretty confused by those titles in these videos. They record it in Korea and it's probably done by Koreans, maybe they just understand to these things differently than we do in western culture. Czech and Romanian is not only the same race, but even the same ethnicity, if you compare average person from that country, not member of minorities like romani and others. We have a lot of Romanians in work here in Czechia, sometimes you can spot that theya are not a native Czechs, but sometimes you can't. Interesting about these nations like Romanians or Ukrainians is that males mostly still have hair even after 30 years old, while most of Czechs are bald like me. 🙂 When you say "eastern european face" I mostly imagine that arrow made from hair on their foreheads, which Czechs mostly don't have, but Slovaks do.
Race is a social construct and not scientific. If you have to classify based on race then there are only 3 races. Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid. Caucasian in this case includes Europeans, west and south Asians.
Well, USA/Russian can be mixed race. It just depends of the race of the people, 😂. I guess you could say that for any of them
@@Pidalin Romanians are Balkan, not the same as Czech at all. We are more similar to Bulgarians and Serbs
Unless you went into the mixes of Russian identities - ie Dagestan is still a part of Russia per say.... but they aren't considered to be ethnically Russian. Same things with the Tar Tars. It's kind of up in the air because there are Dagestanis who who ethnically Dagestani and who are not white and there are Tar Tars who are not white... so like.... we're talking about groups of people who have no defined race associated to them.
I think “Multiracial” is being misconstrued with “Multiethnic”
Ethnicity is almost the same as race and always have been. Globalism and immigration are trying to separate both but i guess they will fail.
Because for Koreans and many asians your race is your ethnicity, it kinda makes sense if you ask me
Race is really an antiquated term that has no scientific basis, so yes, when most people who aren't racist say the word "race", they actually mean "ethnicity".
Exactly, just edit the title
i agree with you.. race is not ethnic.. that's a really misconception

I love being a mixed ethnic person! Maybe cuz I’m from the US but when people ask me where I’m from, I feel so much joy to share where I’m from because I know it’s a random mix. Even tho I don’t like to talk to people much, it makes for a good convo. Plus I have so much pride of my parents countries.
Hello Klara how are you?
Sometimes I ask where people where they come from if I notice that they don't come from my country. Not to judge them but because it's interesting, they might also be able to teach me something I didn't know.
Many/most people today are mixed ethnicity/culture, but that doesn't always make them mixed race.
If you aren't admitting that you are an American (when you are), and you have the opportunity to show others that not all Americans are annoying or whatever, you aren't helping address stereotypes. I have never denied being an American when I've been abroad.

The United States is a country of immigrants, there is no such thing as a pure American and if it did exist, they would be the aborigines (called Native Americans) all the rest are descendants of immigrants with different backgrounds.
Only the black American girl and the Korean/Indian guy are multiracial/mixed race, the rest are just mixed ethnicity/multiethnic. Still a super fun video, maybe just edit the title
Well how is the Korean/Indian guy “mixed race” if both his parents are Asian. Indians are south Asian. Koreans are East Asian. This is why “race” is a weird concept.
Now I think only the black American girl is, because the Korean and Indian guy is only Asian if define race since both India and Korea are in Asia
In the USA both Koreans and Indians are classified under the same race, Asian. The thing to keep in mind is that race is a social construct so perception will vary. Also some people don’t consider anyone who is Jewish to be white.

@@mcchilde2903 white is a dumb american concept lmaooo
they confused it in this video
Being from the Levant, people in a good portion of Asia (16 people ~70% of people I’ve met from 6 countries), most of Africa (20+ people ~85% of people I’ve met from 9 countries), and literally the majority of South America (15 people ~95% of people from 5 countries ) seem not surprised at all by how we look, and might live
However when people come from more than half of Europe (30+ people I’ve met ~50% from 4 West European countries) or especially North America (20+ people I’ve met 100% of Americans and 9 of 16 Canadian people), seemed shocked as our appearance and lifestyle did not match expectations, and some even thought there’s a “conspiracy” of sorts and that we’re all fake … YOU figure out who that was !!
So basically it depends on the people you meet, there’s NO “universal” code, there are only myths and dominant ideoligies, basically prejudices of each people and thankfully, all people of earth do NOT share all of them … yet.
On another note, some of the answers to “ethnicity” in the video were kinda converted to “what language I speak” rather than ethnicity by participants 😂 but that’s understandable and makes more sense for most cases, not all.
Race-Culture dichotomy:- The mixed- racial people often try to enjoy their multiple ethnic sides but miss the fact that they are culturally different from their native ethnic people- this difference of culture leads to improper bonding.
I don’t understand why the two white girls are being referred to as mixed “race”, there are white people both in Russia and in the us, as well as the Czech Republic. In fact, there are different races in many countries, I for once would also consider the Jewish guy in the back to be white. It seems the word “race” is being misused in this video.
Yeah I think they meant more nationalities than race, that's the most I can figure. I'm like what race is "american" and "russian"
I would give them a pass since the channel is Korean and might have gotten the words mixed up
I thought the same thing. These aren't all mixed race people to me. Multi-national might have been a better description.

Really astonishing how they travel and know different countries
I'm English and I can trace my ancestry back all the way to the 1200's. I've also done an ancestry DNA test and apparently I'm 96% English, 2% German and 1% Norwegian. I'm proud of my heritage and I also love hearing about other people's genetic makeup and their own family stories too.
So English as in Breton? Wouldn't it otherwise show as German (Saxon)/ Danish? The interesting thing is my family is from eastern Prussia and we all did a DNA test some years ago for Christmas and the fascinating thing is that my Grandpa's DNA qualified about half as Baltic and half Germanic of which most was qualified as English and Norwegian, so I wonder wether "English" is used for isolated Saxon descendant populations in those DNA tests
@@hmvollbanane1259 I suppose it depends which DNA test you used, my results just come up as "English & Northwestern Europe".

Since when american, asian and latino are a race? "American" is a nationality or a word to describe someone that comes from the America continent, "asian" also describes that someone comes from Asia and "latino" is a cultural feature that includes language, history and culture and it's not exclusive for spanish-speaking countries; portuguese, brazilian, french, canadians, italians, romanians, angolans, swiss, belgians, senegalese and basically anyone that speaks spanish, french, italian, portuguese, romanian, romansh and any other language that comes from latin as their first language are latinos, it doesn't have anything to do with ethnicity or skin color.
I think that idea that these nationalities or ethnicities are "races" is common everywhere except Europe where we literally banned all such ideas after WWII and people who speak like that are mostly considered nazis or uneducated.

Lol, the Czech-Romanian girl is so confused xD "Why are y'all calling me mixed race, I'm white af?"
Interesting. Never knew some people didn't like being asked where they are from. I thought it was some of the most basic questions during conversation. In NY, when asked where you are from, everyone would just tell you where their parents/grandparents are from, followed by telling you that they themselves were born in the states(if they were) or letting you know around what year or at what age they came to the States, which makes for good conversation to get to know each other.
I'm honestly surprised that 3 people were on the right side.
Probably because only non-White people get asked this, like the assumption is you must believe only White Americans to be true Americans. Also, if you want to know where someone’s parents or grandparents are from, why ask not ask that instead of asking a question that assumes they must be a foreigner in their own country?
Just speaking for myself the problem isn’t asking where I’m from but not accepting my response. Plus not everyone is interested in sharing their life stories or even knows their family history. There are people who are adopted.
@@ArcasBelissari White American people do get asked where they are from but not usually with the same intention. I’m black and I try to decipher what exactly I’m being asked because sometimes it’s an accent thing or just an ice breaker and people just want to know what state or city you are from. But sometimes the question is meant to “other” you which they don’t do to white Americans unless they are dark complected. I have noticed whenever there is someone from a European country on here who isn’t white.
@@ArcasBelissari I actually only got asked it in a weird way in Jamaica. The bartender asked where I was from. I said the US.. he asked where again.. I thought he meant city or state. So I said Maryland, Baltimore DC area. He said no I mean like China, Japan, Korea? I’m not even part Asian, so it was a little confusing.. so I can’t imagine what it’s like to get asked that all the time in the place you are from. Must get pretty old quick.

Not enough for one side and not enough for the other side. So in the end you wonder what you are.
...yeah you messed it up quite a bit. Mixed race and Mixed ethnicity are very different. Ethnically I am Russian (and even within Russia we can break that up and said that I am half Russian and half Dagestani) But at the core of it, I'm still white. Like I have family that live in Russia and I have family that live in Armenia, Iran and Turkey - culturally - very mixed and ethnically too - but I'm still white... And I'll say this much - only Europeans have been able to look at me and identify by (by look) as Russian lol or other Russians themselves. Generally, in America, they can't tell.
I think the differences on the question "Where are you from?" might tell us more about the differences between men and women than anything else.
It's unfortunate the young lady of Nigerian and Puerto Rican ancestry lives where she does in the states, this subjects her to constant gaslighting and people's viewpoints there start to become jaded when asked about their ethnicity.
Meadow's answers are understandable, she probably gets her mother's good looks, and maybe can only substitute Finland or one of the Baltic states instead of Russia in order to avoid confrontations with people. Rather than having to answer for two knucklehead leaders, it's easier to just say S. Korea.
The young lady of Czech/Romanian ethnicity would get mistaken for Swedish or Norwegian ethnicity here in Wisconsin. She's very pretty and fair skinned. We do have a fair number of Bohemians living with the Bavarians around Oshkosh, and even my family spent their last few years in Bavaria (before 1880), living in Bischopfsreut, which is only a few miles from the Czech border.
The problem is more about their response to her answer rather than asking her the question where are you from?Some people have already formulated their answers in their mind and act like they know more about you than you do. My family is American, been here since early 1700s. and I have had people argue with me when I say I and my family are from the United States. If they ask her where are you from and she said California and they said cool there wouldn’t be an issue. TBH Where are you from is usually answered in the USA by giving a state and isn’t an ethnicity question.
@@anndeecosita3586 this 💜
This topic confuses the idea of race and nationality. Some of the nationalities represented here, i.e. United States, Brazil and Puerto Rico have no connection with race. Citizens of these countries can be any one race or any combination of races. So calling those who are citizens of these countries and another country may not be multiracial at all.
Puerto Rico is not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain
Finally an interesting conversation topic!
I’ve had so many people tell me to just say I’m Canadian when I travel. I sometimes have people say some negative things when they hear me talking, but I don’t like to lie and I agree with trying to change perception a little. So it’s better to be honest and maybe help change someone’s opinion.
I have never lied about being American. But I don’t necessarily volunteer the information. Part of the reason is I don’t always feel comfortable with the perks of being American. a lot of people see Americans as 💴 💰 and vendors and hospitality workers will start kissing my ass. It’s actually made me feel embarrassed at some places to see the workers fawn over me while talking to poor locals and migrants like dirt. I can’t stomach tourist traps for long.
@@anndeecosita3586 yeah I don’t just go around saying it.. but if someone asks I’m honest. I mostly just do my own thing and no one even talks to me.. but when I have family around it’s a very different experience. My step dad is from Naples Italy, my moms side is from Estonia. So I spend some time in places where if i’m around other travelers they get kinda weird with me. I always try to brush that stuff off though and be as polite as possible when I get the “how many languages do you speak, I speak 5” kinda questions.
I get what you mean though about the privilege. In addition to that, I can’t help but be pissed off at situations where it’s very hard for someone from parts of the world to travel as freely as well just because of the country they’re born in or the passport they hold.

Brazil is the most multiracial country in the world. Brazilians don't have a face to describe "you look like a brazilian", being a brazilian i have to say it's not easy to describe our skin color, each one has different ton, it's very confusing.
There are Japanese-Brazilians, Lebanese-Brazilians, German-Brazilians (the likes of Xuxa) and of course, Afro-Brazilians.
The World is now Multiculturial these days due to immigration and no borders.
My impression of Brazil is that they focus more on the color of the skin. I have heard them refer to people using words like for example pardo
It’s the same in Dominican Republic, that’s why the 80s and lady from my City Moca created the doll name "Muñecas sin rostro" o "Muñecas Limé", because we are mix race country. Liliana Mera Limé is the name of the creator of this dolls.

5th comment!! Love these videos!!
My wife is Italian of Iberian, Balkan, Arab blood, yet she still says "I'm 100% Italian" 😂
Be proud of your heritage guys 💪🇮🇹
If she had a great great great hreat great grandfather/mother who wasn't italian, she doesn't "feel" non-italian... If she was born and lived all her life in Italy, if her mom and dad the same, if her culture is all in all italian, why would she feel anything but italian?!. The way you talk is like if you think that it's something that she "hides" because she was ashamed of anything! t's childish to think that you feel this or that because your ancestors you've never met were from another country! Why would she feel "proud" of her supposed "mixed race" ancestry?! Italians, spanish, portuguese and the majority of people from balkans are white, so even if your wife felt proud of anything, she would feel prou of her ancestors' ancestry but not race, because that's the same race! There were arabs in Iberian Peninsula centuries ago and they didn't mixed much with christians, even we both got along. Besides that, this video is about "race" (whatever that means and however it can be measured). There are people in the video that are white, like the guy in wool black sweater and the girl with blue jacket (probably they had someone non-white in their family centuries ago)! Muricans tend to not consider people white if the speak Spanish, which just shows ignorance! What I found so strange is that some muricans don't"consider" a person to be white if they don't have blond hair and blue eyes, but if it's an american in the same condition they consider! Why isn't an italian white if they have brown eyes and hair, but a guy from wherever in Murica if they have brown eyes and hair, they are white?! It doesn't make sense!

Dud this Korean+Indian really looks like gys from northeast India 💕
After watching the video and reading the comments I think some people don’t realize that race is a social construct. What that means is different societies have different ways of grouping people. The mistake is assuming everyone thinks the same way you do. For example some people on here have mentioned European and African as races where in my country these are NOT considered races. People of European, North African, and Middle Eastern descent backgrounds are all considered as white in the USA. So if you are ethnically a Swede you are the same race as a Moroccan. In the USA I’m black. In my country we generally don’t consider someone biracial unless it’s recent but the truth is black Americans are on average 25 percent European descent. However, when some places in Latin America I’m not considered black because I’m not dark skin enough. There are a lot of people who make it more about skin color than lineage. and I’m called mulata, criola, morena and a bunch of other stuff. I have several friends who were considered white in LA and not in the USA because they are too dark skin. When people ask me where I’m from I have to gauge what I think they are asking. Sometimes they just want to know what city, state. But sometimes country or could be asking me by ancestors background. It only bothers me when I answer and people act like the don’t believe me. I’m American and so are my parents, grandparents and great grandparents. But race doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. I have heard white Europeans people called racist for saying nasty things about Roma for example. They have been in Europe for like a thousand years or so I think. I have heard Mexicans called racists for disparaging Guatemalcos. And we all know that there are people who ascribe to the idea of the Aryan race. In South Africa and some other places there is what’s called colored. I have had people approach me speaking English, Spanish, Italian and French. Depends on where I am and if people assume I’m a local.
The guys seemed really based, not thinking every question is some sort of attack against them. Also its very sad how effective all the propaganda fed to us is. In America the media was not allowed to use propaganda against its citizens but the Obama administration made it legal again to do that, and we can see clearly what that has done to the nation over the years.
Hello Sarah hi how are you doing?
I never assume a question is an attack. It's the following words and actions that create a negative feeling. If you ask me where I'm from, and I answer Sacramento; and then follow up with the question, "But where are you REALLY from?" It's no longer a pleasant exchange. I've also had people ask me about my ethnicity before even asking my name. If I felt respected in the situation, there would never be an issue..
@@tj_and_lex Don’t let these people gaslight you. They know exactly what you are talking about and are feigning ignorance. And that Obama comment said it all because they othered him for 8 years and then some. How many times did he say he was from Hawaii and people swore he was lying even though his birth certificate proved it. 🤦🏾♀️
My Russian ethnicty and Russian language has nothing related to the war. I don't feel shamed that I was born and raised in Russian society and language. I don't feel ashamed that someone who speak the same language with me is doing war crimes. I don't do that, I don't like that. I'm proud to be Russian
Lol they even cut out the part for Pakistani korean as he is lying about Indian nationality😂
Lexi is absolutely right about the where are you from question in America, they ask that because they don't see you as American and want to know why you look like that lol.
With this video we have discovered something: the sexiest combination is Korean with Indian. 😻
Helps that that guy has serious personality
Seems this is a mix of race and nationalities? Or can someone fill me in on what two distinct races are Americans and Russians? Or Czech and Romanian?
Oh my goodness guys It makes sense for me in a korean word and since I’m not that good in english and i had to translate what I wanted to say in my head! I miss said the name “race” no hard feelings y’all stop it plz
It’s either Czech Republic or Czechia. Czech is the name of a person from Czechia. It’s like saying Korean instead of Korea. You don’t say “I’m from Кorean”
Some people just don't see the difference between noun and adjective. My English is also very basic, but these things work almost the same in all European languages, so I am still surprised by that amount of people who can't use this correctly in English when it's even simplier in English, because adjective and name for person from that country (Czech, German etc...) is mostly the same word.
Most of instagram links does not work..
For some reason, when Sungmin said people view him positively, he sounded like an anime boy, and now I can't stop picturing him in an anime.
I think that Hispanics in the USA are generally not as accepting of people who don’t speak Spanish into their inner circles. I have friends who are Hispanic and don’t speak Spanish and they are made to feel badly about it. On the other hand I’m not Hispanic but speak Spanish. I have never had any issues and many of my closest friends are Hispanic. It also depends on what kind of Hispanics you are around. Mexicans tend to think you should look mestizo to speak Spanish versus Caribbean and South Americans are more likely to assume I and lots of other different looking people speak Spanish. So my experience in Dallas is different from Miami. I went to Puerto Rico and most people assumed I was from there. As far as black people not accepting lighter skin people I think it depends on the background and the area. Some black Americans don’t see any foreigners as black regardless of their skin color. But then some people will come to the USA and say they are not black and only want to be identified by their tribe or nationality not as a race. When I lived in a very diverse city no one cared or mentioned my complexion. I only started getting comments when I moved to a place that had a higher concentration of black people. Colorism is usually among people of the same background. And seems to be more of an issue with women and desirability. Where I live now is like 95 percent white. White people who don’t like black people don’t like black people. I don’t think my complexion it matters that much. To a lot of them we all look alike. I used to have a job where I would get called by my coworkers names so much I quit correcting people.
Bueno para ser hispano tenes que hablar español, la gente que asocia tener piel marròn con ser mexicano normalmente son los estadounidenses que nunca estuvieron ni vivieron ni nacieron en paises de habla hispana.
Why the fuck would we include someone who doesn’t speak spanish as a hispanic. Hispanic means spanish speaking for fuck sake we don’t care what your dad is if you can’t even communicate with us in our native language.
Puerto Rico is not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain
@@franciscovilcheavila960 Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain
US Hispanics are (or become) different than those from Latam, especially the generation that is born in the US because they (immigrants and US born) become Americanized and adopt the English language or Spanglish. I am US born with Mexican born parents and personally my experience has been similar to what you said. I think Latinos in Latam are more accepting than US hispanics and that's probably because every ethnic group is trying to retain their identity in a melting pot nation that is demanding (intentionally and unintentionally) you to become cosmopolitan and adopt a universal idea which is one mind, one value, one moral code, one [civic] culture, and one language. I'm sure it happens to other ethnic groups in the US besides hispanics and it seems to me as if every group is just trying to "survive" by keeping their identity they inherited from their parents
Most countries in the world are monoracial (homogenous), that’s just the truth. Only the USA doesn’t have an average person. Most people in Europe are white, most in Asia are Asian and most in Africa are African. People continue to ask because they know you are also from somewhere else in the world. That’s the easiest I can explain it to people who comes from extremely multiracial societies, such as the USA.
Brazil is the most multiracial country in the world. Brazilians usually don't have a face, any person could be from Brazil. It's in our blood.
Latin America is multiracial too
People have been mixing for the past 15+ millennia and it’s an ongoing thing , there’s no single nation of no face land , more than half the nations in the world are what some call mixed, wars, deportations, carnages and economic shifts aren’t a new thing, it’s been happening forever, now there are planes and safer boats, yes, other than that, nothing new, just the reach is greater
Think again... Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay. Even México has millions of people from diferente continents.
0n1y the USA d0es n0t have an average pers0n.BU11SHIT...BRAZI1 IS THE M0ST DIVERSE C0UNTRY IN THE W0R1D ANY0NE CAN A BE BRAZI1IAN.A10NG WITH BRAZI1 C010MBIA E VENEZUE1A...M0ST C0UNTRIES ARE M0N0RACIA1..WHAT SHIT THING T0 SAY...1ATIN AMERICA IS N0T ....MAYBE JAPAN CHINA ARE H0M0GEN0US ...
I enjoyed this video. But technically , half this cast is multi-ethnic not multiracial.
So they did not include Indian Korean guy twice......
Is Ukrainian and Irish considered mixed race now???
The guy is from Pakistan not India
Bro the American/Russian lady said she is mixed race, you sure lady?
Instead of calling it multiracial, call it multiethnic next time. All of them are ethnically mixed, only a few here are racially mixed.
Race: White, Asian, Black, Brown
Ethinicity: Slav, Scandinavian, Arab, Latino, Han etc.
Nationality: Russian, Chinese, Indian, Kenyan, etc.
Sometimes ethnicity and Nationality are the same, but most nations are multi ethnic.
I’m from Dominican Republic and almost a mix of everything that had colonize the Americas and when I moved to the United States, people thought I was Puerto Rican or Colombian because people think that because of my skin color “I can’t be Dominican”.
Brazil more mix
Eso me hace acordar a cuando una yankee le dijo a mi amigo y a mi por Omegle que no podiamos ser latinos solo por ser blancos xD
Fr? What part of the US if you don't mind me asking? There are Dominicans of all complexions living here in NY/NJ
Is there some official short name for Dominican Republic? It seems like they have the same problem as we have in Czech Republic, word Czechia is mostly accepted now, but most of native Czechs are still not used to it and deny to use it. Is "Dominicana" or "Dominicania" a proper name of country in English?
@@whodafox dominicans from Dominican Republic or USA citizens with dominican background?
Should the boy be ashamed, calling himself an Indian, he is a Pakistani boy and not an Indian because Indian culture is different from the rest of the world, or he does not seem Indian from any angle, or Urdu is a Pakistani language, not India's.
That person is half pakistani and half korean
De unde din Romania e cehoaica? 😅
im super confused, is that guy half indian or half pakistani?? Unless his south asian side is muhajir or something, i dont see a connection/crossover between both countries.
This is not mix race only mixed nationalities
0:26 Sungmin is half Pakistani, not indian 🤦🤦
U ppl had created such a reputation of urselves that even u feel embarrassing to reveal true identity.
@@aaryan_B055 Sorry?? When??
@@incognito__00
Since 1947
@@aaryan_B055 U are living in a fool's paradise if u think that. I'm proud Pakistani and I have never tried to hide my nationality. I have been raised abroad and here in the UAE you are respected even more when they learn that u are from Pakistan. So better keep this generalization to urself
@@incognito__00
🤣U r the one living in fool's paradise.
Who cares abt u? I m talking abt ur ppl living in Europe, Australia and America.
And talking abt ARABIAN countries, u ppl r considered as AL HIND MISHKIN ARZAL. THEY CALL U, YA ABDI.
- Where are you from?
- Planet Earth. You know... third rock from the sun.
Ayeee a choose a dark setup . Its too bright ....
There's nothing but good looking people on this channel.
Why there isn't any Turkish person in your videos😭😭
my Nigerian-Puerto Rican friend should try visiting Nigeria...we do not reject our own. We welcome foreigners wonderfully.
I think this video and this comment section constitutes quite good evidence for the claim that "race" is a social construct :D People from different parts of the world understand it completely differently, and many people are uncomfortable with the whole idea of different human "races".
3:01 he said theory not fury. Every video the subtitles are wrong.
But come on they’re not all mixed *race*
Top g
Why are U serving a Pakistani person as indian stop saying that pakistanis are indian.
7:14 Here, it's ALSO a boys vs girls thing 😂- Boys are usually not much guarded about sharing their personal stuff while girls are all cautious and annoyed with the curiosity!
Curiosity is fine, but disrespect is not. I actually love talking about my background but often when I received these questions, people told me I was wrong or made assumptions about me that were unfair and unkind.
As a result, I have a bad impression from the question because I've been hurt by it repeatedly. I hope this clears things up.
@@tj_and_lex Yeah the intention is supreme indicator whether it's just a basic 'trying to be friends' or 'r u an immigrant?'
- Though this assumption thing you mentioned- it's the 'curse of knowing'. People generally try to understand new things with the past or base knowledge they have.
To me this explanation is *made up by the white to get a pass or to calm their conscience* while being passively racist.
- But still many among the shades of brown clinging to this curse of past know-how remain in the bubble.
Is this channel all in Korea?! 😊
i've my fake accent and everyone people ask me oh you are foreigner and they don't believe that i'm Nepali and i always had to lie about my nationality, which is more frustrating and they assume that i can speak English or Hindi wtf they never talk me i Nepali language, i really hate being having my fake accent
Two of them are just white + white = white
three the Irish+Ukraine is also white+white
The experiences from the Nigerian-Puerto Rican are some that I definitely relate to, now, because I'm mixed and I dont have like any of the "stereotypical" features, Ive had many people that have been very ugly about it. Whenever I started to work at my part-time job, I did had many americans act like 8:41, I've had some that are like "you aint American right? You look too cute and exotic to be from here"
Not to be rude but USA is definitely not a race. It's a nationality. Also why are the 3 Europeans claiming to be Biracial? It doesn't even make sense.
Is the guy half Pakistani or half Indian?
Same I am so confused lol
He is pakistani not indian please don't fake show he is indian
Russia and white US: still white and white. Romania and CZ: still white and white. might have been the same country at some point. Ireland and Ukraine: would still be white if it wasn't for the Jewish ancestry. if the first 2 lived in either of their countries and spoke the language, no one would question them on where they are from and i wouldn't really suspect the 3rd guy is a foreigner if i met him on the street in my predominantly while country. (he might stand out a bit if he goes to Ireland. or not)
i think he is not indian... he is again and again saying pakistan and urdu... i think he is from pakistani punjab not from indian punjab.....i think u r showing his wrong nationality....
Is he really indian ??? I have doubt .... 😕
