The crowd sucked. That joke was fireeeee!!!
Maybe they find this accent annoying n cringe

@hadizasaidusalisu6701 this fake English accent is annoying af... noting cool about it, just cringee
@@user-qp7nv5xs5o Referring to an accent as annoying and cringe is really racist of you, not even low-key. He can't help if he speaks that way
Listen to him for an hour then you’ll understand crowd’s reaction. He is not a good story teller that’s why not funny.
This isn't the first Brexit, it's just the first intentional one 😂😂😂😂
Leaving of the Union for all was intentional.
Some of them were violent.
But the entering of the Union was probably and usually not by volition.
Puppet of British

"Britain kinda invented this shit"
Caste system: "am i a joke to you?"
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Yes, definitely my first thought: the caste system was practiced looong before Britain arrived.
@ditichaudhari7951 A caste is literally something you're born into that can't be changed. If you believe that people in higher castes NEVER looked down on the lower castes, then you don't know how humans work.
Exactly why his joke wasn't funny.

UK: YOU LEARNED THIS SHIT FROM US!!!
US:Well, yeah, but we do it better and worse at the same time.
"We're the very best at being baaad guys!"
We made slavery illegal throughout the British empire. At great cost and American boat captains would shoot slaves who try to leave their ship as the second they step foot on British soil they are free no matter who they are.
Also India basically let us rule them with 3 guys and a bike so you asked for that.
ALSO we invented the landing system for an aircraft carrier that America uses to create their huge navy. Which these days is pointless because of nukes.
AND all your special force are based off of our SAS and SBS.
You guys are the Disney remake 😂😂
Oh, Lord, this! 💯 🤣🤣🤣
You mean Spain?
I think it was a case of double it and give it to the next guy
Of all the kids of Britain, only US got that imperial zeal, the rest are laid back.
It almost feels like the whites truly are the devils spawn.
Favorite child probably
That's because the brits who traveled to the US were religious zealots.
US has that coloniser rizz
And Australia is the clingy little bother that wants to be like America 😂😅
UK: Why dont you just use metrics!?!?
US: *Stares back in imperial*
Seeing this in *confused bunny meme.GIF*
Fun fact, there *was* an early attempt to make the switch, but British privateers captured the ship that was carrying the weights to America

@@Goofyderclown racism was prevalent in countless cultures throughout history before a single western European person migrated to any of them
There was racism long before the British empire. There was at least intense racism against Carthage in Rome, before the Brits, and still it existed long before that.
Notwithstanding your point is still valid, racism has basically existed since the dawn of man, I think it would be inaccurate to call the rivalry between Carthage and Rome racist.
Romans really hated Carthage and vice-versa, but there wasn't any thing about this hatred that was prejudiced on race. Romans didn't think all Phoenicians were bad, and Carthage didn't think all Italians were bad for example.
@@Kylephibbsky Carthago Delende Est
i actually WOULD call racism a modern invention. the thing that’s that old is xenophobia and they are different. in modernity, there’s a kinship between racists different languages and cultures. in antiquity, most anyone whose language and culture differed from yours would be an enemy.
ex - france and england. today, french and english racists want the same things for their respective nations. they’re both rabidly anti immigration, targeted at foreigners of color. they like each other a lot more than foreigners. 500 years ago they were killing each other over petty squabbles just because they hated each others cultures and wanted each others lands. it was xenophobia til it wasn’t.
in nations who didn’t get colonized by britain, it’s often *still* xenophobia instead of racism. a japanese hyperconservative will usually see a korean as equal to a sudanese and equal to a german - and they’re all far lesser than japanese people in their eyes.
OH and rome/carthage? xenophobic conflict. race is modern.
systems of discrimination based on skin color and ethnicity have always existed. But race as a pseudo scientific concept was invented in Europe and the system of discrimination that followed it has become synonymous with all discrimination of its type. .
@@LOgomon20 That distinction is a fabricated one. Somewhat ironically in the same way that the Europeans fabricated the distinction between races.
Was racism in the past systematized? Yes. It could be.
Was racism in the past based on pseduo-science? Yes.
Shots everytime he says ladies and gentlemen and I am already drunk
My bitch ass thought he was referring to the greek/roman goddesses and i was like "Weird, but Venus and the moon are the same size and have problematic love lives." Until my brain caught on that he meant the tennis players

That's what I was thinking. Racism has been a thing since we made groups
As a brown person, I can guarantee you we were doing racism while the white's highest cultural accomplishments was a horny sculpture of a fat lady.
nope the type of racism we have now has been influenced entirely by Britain u missed the point, ppl didn’t want to bleach their skin or be colourist before British imperialism lmao
@@gabby222themoonyou’re wrong. You’re simply wrong. Ever since people noticed differences about another culture or race there was. Racism
Weren't light-skinned Indians racist against dark-skinned Indians ling before the British came? They had a whole caste system already in place, didn't they?
That's actually colorism, not racism (discriminating on skin colour within your own race). The caste system wouldn't count as racism by the modern definition, but may have counted back then. I think it would be considered a form of classism by the modern definition
@@raerohan4241it's still fucking racism
@@raerohan4241 japan would like a word on racism that predates the british sticking their nose in anything.
@@raerohan4241 No, colourism isn't a thing, that's just plan racism, 'colourism' is a BS excuse for racists to be racists without getting called racist.

do you seriously believe a country like india would have that kind of system? thats seriously a british thing, white supermacy is a white man thing not a indian man thing
India was discriminating waaaay before Britain conquered thems
Careful, Indians like to pretend India was heaven before the British lol
Japan: Ahem.
@@HybridSpektari didn't know japan introduced racism to india
You need to study European history more
@acrab7722 You couldn't be more wrong. Both in your statement, and the reality.
Nope. Indian racism is a whole another level. The British are innocent of this one
No one can even define Indian race.
But the british introduced the concept of racism to india.
(This is going off what I learnt in my world religions class last yr, I'm not Hindu) from what I understand, the caste system wasn't actually discriminatory until the British went to India and changed it to resemble their own systems
@@deusexmachina5769 caste system........
@@StarcraftOakley that's classism, not racism.
The brits also banned slavery. Im not saying they didnt partake in it first, they did. But so did most countries, India pre UK included.
Well yeah who do you think Europeans bought slaves from in Africa? African slavers traders.
Romans had slaves and if you think the Roman empire happened at the same time as the slave trade then I have knees for you
British banned slavery, doesn't mean slavery stopped. It was illegal, but , it still continued without prosecution of those illegally involved.
Without vast crops that required harvesting, slavery was more indoors behind the walls slavery/servants variety.
And it continues in some parts of the world.
They bought from portugal and portugal was the first to stop and officialy start selling slaves a cross the countries
Isn’t the caste system older than the British Empire?
Exactly... Atleast since mahabharat ..
The system of classification was...not the discrimination..and it was not a hierarchical system it was a profee
Ssional one....british made it hierarchical
@@always4frndz thanku! 😂
@@always4frndzin paper? Yes. In practice it sure as hell discriminative. The British did used it for their divide and rule policy but some people nowadays try to whitewash the Varna system. It's faulty from the beginning and still is now.
@@always4frndzoh so farmers and rulers were of the same social standing prior to the British arriving?
Didn’t Britain stop the practice of “wife burning” .. ?😳😂
no actually, its a myth if you read history from authentic sources then youll find that the britishers rather encouraged wife burning & wb wife selling that legally took place in britain and was actively supported by the church
Yes, they did.

*a widow, not a wife. Not advocating that anyhow but a sweet sweet question. Didn't the whole of Europe burn their women in the allegations of witchcraft once upon a time?

Imagine being Mexican 😂
Or just from Central/South America, they're proud of all of their blood. Yes they are descendants of conquers, but they are also descendants of men that refused to stand down until God made them
Lol
Bro your dad colonized your mom and had you lol
Then your repaid the favor 😂
The British didn’t invent racism, rather they coined the term. Racism has existed for thousands upon thousands of years. Especially in Asia.
Actually, Marxism coined the term Racist to slander people that disagreed with their murderous ideology.
I'm Irish, just found you, this is my second video, I'm laughing out loud 😂👍🇮🇪
Fun fact, it was actually the Dutch who invented racism! Then the British simply adopted it.
The dutch were one of the most racist colonial powers back then
Discrimination and racism has been around for much longer than that. It's shown throughout history. The weaker group is always enslaved by the more powerful group. This is shown in many countries long before the British invasions.
Racism (as in, dividing humanity into different races with certain unalienable properties) is an invention of the 18th century.
But India punshes women who were raped for reporting the crime.
America: you trained me, but perfected it .
His voice makes my heart melt
"the way Venus looks at Serena" Not me thinking this was a Sailor Moon reference at first TToTT
Caste system, while still technically a form of discrimination, is different from racism due to it being classism
Something can be both.
@@hughmann9568 Sir, you are what we call a dial-up modem back in my country. Do you want to have a guess as to why?
Applying lipstick on a pig. Having an entire class of people referred to as the untouchables is just as asinine.

@@LOgomon20 like I said, just as Asinine.

The caste system isn't racism. It's a type of discrimination
@@lawrencestokeThat doesn't matter from a practical level
@@rayzas4885 The question was whether racism existed prior to the british, not whether the cast system is bad.
Hahahaha
This is truly amazing!
Lob.
Brexit joke was amazing
So true. My mother is Guyanese, born when it was British Guiana. My family is a mishmash of Black, Indian and Portuguese. Britain taught racism well - in BG, Portuguese wasn't considered white. Still isn't.
..aaand the sip of tea 😂
Nah, my man really tried to blame his own racism on someone else
After learning the history of India and UK, this joke hits hard.
I like that he is drinking from a teacup and is in a full suit. Cool aesthetic.
Quite British.
Indians actually love British culture in secret and like to use antiquated English words to sound formal.
Was that a sailor moon joke. If so dang this guy got real fire
As a joke a can laugh at this. As an argument this is a joke XD.
He's not wrong 😂
He is wrong. India's racism comes from the cast system which was in place long before the British came. Laborers would have darker skin from being outside, and the "untouchables" had to ring a bell to alert people to leave because other Indian people considered them filthy. That's not from the west. Indians came up with that all on their own.
@@andrearace1168 I love it when white people think they know more than the people who actually came from the country in question. It's like you're being offended on their behalf 🤣
😭😭😭😭 that’s was so good
The dutch ruled the orient
Dont forget the french and spanish also ruled 😂
I’m from a country from Eastern Europe and I think you never escape from this mentality, as afro-americans. Possible I don’t understand, but you indiens, at least, you demonstrated your performance in IT, medicine, etc
I don't understand what you are trying to say
Rightly said👍🏻this blame game will give rise to a generation/nation of losers.
I am sorry you felt that way, but the problem is when the britishers left india. They didn't just leave India. They made sure ppl in their favor came into power, and those politicians made sure to white wash all the atrocities that happened. Even small things like, we read in our school books that britishers did wrong but also some good like, they laid railways, but they missed the point that railways are not for ppl, but to tranport goods from the heart of india to coat and then those are shipped to Britain.
When the issues can not be white washed, they completely change the narrative like the great famine of bengal. You know ur ancestors are reason for indians having diabatic issues in this generation because of all the man made famines during that century.
The thing is, we were taught glory of britishers as well, but there is no single point that would make us ok, like some good might have happened, nothing good came of it. Kid of this generation with all the information online, we are learning how bad stuff was back then how we were white wahsed by our own ppl, so it may be ancient for u guys. It's brand information for us.
So yes, you will have to wait some more time for us to forget that stuff as this is a brand new generation that raise their voice and stood up for ourselves.

finally someone who gets it, I've been trying to tell that to people for so long!! it's not just racism, it's also the homophobia
Exactly
Homophobia didn't exist in most part of the world until Britain instilled it there 😢
Bruh that's a lie
Please do any amount of research Britain didn’t come up with homophobia or racism
Nope not in the least. Homophobia is prominent in India due to relegion. All relegion are strictly against homos
@@fafnirsucks3239 But they spread it around the world.
Racism, as we know it today, can mostly be traced to a handful of Europeans during the late 18th and early 19th century and homophobia has been a thing since at least ancient greece but a lot of cultures had neither of those things until the british colonized them and forced their culture onto them.
Britain didn't invent that stuff and no one claimed that they did, but the British were the ones that spread it around the globe.

As an Indian, I can tell you we’ve been doing institutionalised racism for, like, 5,000 years. We did it so well that the Nazis adopted the Sanskrit term “Aryan”, the Swastika, referred to the SS as the Kshatriya, and used the world-ending warfare depicted in the Mahabharat and the reasoning provided in the Bhagvad Gita as a justification for the Holocaust and World War II.
