He might be spamming but he is telling the truth. The Chinese government pushed propaganda about black Africans carrying the virus and property owners forced them out to the streets.
I watched the video they posted before this one and in that one they already said the title doesn't fit. Maybe they could have repeated that or changed the title.
I don’t that’s necessarily what they’re trying to show here. Being uneducated on it doesn’t make you racist but most educated people on it will likely not be racist. Every racist I see tends to be very uneducated on other cultures and plays into stereotypes. I think they were trying to show that not everyone in this town is racist opposed to that everyone in this town is racist. It’s also more about their reactions to the questions and not how many they get right.

same, plus i liked how he had knowledge on parts of asia outside of east asia.

@@Lifeless_Asian Nope. Some black dude made a video going to there. And he also didn't experience any. The whole things started because there is a cell/family/thing. Of radicals living somewhere there, although isolated even by the townsfolk people. But they were used as a focused to condemn the whole town. But it will be no different than condemning a whole town/state for having the Westboro Baptist Church or a neo-nazi or kkk cell. According to MSM and BigTech is bad to associate Islamic people to certain terrorist groups that been causing trouble for over 100 years. But it is perfectly fine to condemn a whole town for a group of radicals that live on it.

Really nice that you showed that not everyone in the supposed “most racist” town is a nasty racist person and that there are actually good people there!
Any town that is primarily white and very conservative is going to be labeled "racist". While majority of them are not actually racist. Media is all about promoting racism right now. This guy seems pretty cool though and I think he's just trying to see what people are actually like in these small old fashioned towns.
@@mattmccaffrey4299 yes absolutely. there is a huge difference between being a bit racist due to ignorance and being racist on purpose due to unfounded hatred.

Since a lot of people are offended by the title: This is a follow-up to another video that established that while the town is labeled the most racist, you can't judge the entire town by the KKK which has its HQ there. The video is titled ironically to demonstrate again that the town isn't as bad as its been made out to be. The point is everyone should be more open-minded and not treat others based on prejudice. They aren't saying the whole town is racist.
The word "racist" was created for control on free mericans, its a form of shaming. Created back in the late 1800's early 1900's and to this very day we hear race hustlers headed straight to the south. Um, go to Minn, Mich, new yark cali, oregon, you will hear some stuff that will make Howard Stern blush. LOL!
They are talking to an Asian guy. If you were a racist, would you express your racism directly at his face? Of course not. All they are doing is abiding by basic manners while talking to a stranger, no matter their actual belief. Just because they don't sound explicitly racist doesn't mean they aren't. Not assuming or anything, but it can really be either way.
@@joonjoon819 One might even find the phrase "Asian Culture" refering to a mix of Chinese and Japanese culture to be racist and offensive when there are many different cultures in Asia, including Israeli, Iraqi, Turkish, Siberian, Pakistani, Indian, Filipino.

How cool that you show the pride of Mandarin culture while being Cantonese! Also, these Americans pleasantly surprised with their friendly attitude & willingness to guess 🥰
@@nybergsgarage Well, our media and history only wants to talk about those who "did it bad". It's what you want to remember about US history that makes it today. A lot of people can go on about how Europeans came over and stole land, owned slaves and segregate the races. But, a lot of them came to be in the abolitionist movements, fight on the Union side of the Civil war, fight to end wars against the natives and land seizers and took part in the Civil Rights movement. It's only what people want to hear and remember about a country to make it what it is today. Especially with the white half of the country.
Honestly, people tend to be friendly wherever you go if you're friendly first. Southern Whites in particular are crucified by Hollywood as the world's most horrible people, but the truth is that any given group of white American southerners is not unlike any other ethnic/national group of anyone else. Most will be nice or at least cordial. Some will be indifferent. A few will be hostile.
When the guy in yellow shirt pointed out "...it depends" and then started talking about Central Asia, which most people don't really think of, at least, as part of Asia. The world has really got to study more geography, so people don't only think about of oriental culture as Asian in general. 👏🏼👏🏼

@@MARCBEA1 This is a social experiment, if you're familiar with that. This is not making fun of racism. Don't worry I've learned to dodge ignorant people who unfortunately lack knowledge nor respect about other people's culture or heritage. Take it from someone who lives in Mississippi.
To be fair, if you flipped it and found Asians who hardly ever left the town they grew up in, and asked them questions about American or European pop culture, they'd probably be stumped too. My wife has watched all the MCU movies at least twice, and she still doesn't know who's Hank Pym or Scott Lang or Howard Stark. LOL
@Mar Kazain makes perfect sense. Look at the racial demographics of the south. its white and black territory with the exception of texas and florida. They all make up less than 2% of the states.
@Mar Kazain Well it make sense that asian is not teached in depth at all. Because they are in USA so obviously the education would be more cultured to the western hemisphere values.
For being 'the most racist town in Arkansas', the people that were picked to do these questions seemed pretty nice and down to earth. As someone living in the SF Bay Area, I struggled with a couple of those questions.
I think this video shows we shouldn't be sowing stereotypes and perhaps some of the divisions we create are only of our own perceptions. The morale. Don't judge a book a book by its cover or because someone else already described the cover and no one bothered to follow up. I couldn't get most of these questions. There is no distinction here between a town in Arkansas and its people and a town in California, Washington or Oregon.

Hi guys! So you know, the town gets a bad rep as the most racist because of the people living in a small village a few miles away (Zinc). The people in Zinc, including the leader of the KKK, stage rallies and go to Harrison to make sure the press stays away from their area. I'd recommend checking it out next time you're in the area (don't trespass tho).

I was worried that you’d choose some really intricate questions to subtly humiliate the interviewees, but I think the selection of questions is actually quite fair! Mostly elements of pop culture that more people are familiar with and made the whole game light-hearted instead without shaming.

To be fair, if you travel into the heartland of China, which I have done, it’s much the same as this. I lived in China for six years and traveled a lot for my job. Although people are fairly knowledgeable about the USA, because they learn in school English starting in second grade (so they know English greetings), there’s extreme ignorance about Europe and Latin America. So many times I would find people that didn’t know what language was spoken in Mexico or Cuba or Argentina or Spain. They had never even heard of Spanish. They wouldn’t know the difference between Spanish, Italian and French. I also had teenage students who thought that London is the capital of the USA. I also met people who thought that the English language originated in the USA, not in England. I think the bigger a country is, and the more self-sufficient it is in providing its own entertainment/movies/songs/TV, the more ignorant it is of the outside world, especially if people don’t live in cosmopolitan cities that don’t get a lot of foreign visitors and workers. The people in Shanghai are much more internationally savvy than the people in Yinchuan. Same thing with the people who live in NYC and this people in this heartland town in the video.
TBH, it's very understandable. Why would a rural Chinese person learn about the details of European or Latin American languages. The vast majority will never go to any of those places and learning about them won't be useful in any practical way to them.
@@PerfectSense77 Came from rural China and I can definitely confirm this. In rural China when I was there, we never really thought about other countries or their culture and language because we were just focused on making ends meet. For the most part, the focus was on the kid(s) exceeding in school, going to university, and getting a job so the entire family could live in the city and not be impoverished anymore.
I am really glad someone pointed this out, and from my experience from living in Europe and the Middle East it's the same situation for many people, it's not an American thing

They were allowed back into their homes the next day after Chinese police intervened and sided with the Africans.
@@tbarry2011 this is another social engineering by the media. How many incidents were there against Asians? They use percentages like 100% increase but not actual raw numbers. Why? Because of the actual cases are low. 1 attack last year versus 2 this year is 100% increase. Other races also were attacked in the streets. The media is trying so hard to make Asians feel like victims.
Thank you. This is Wrik from the video and if you have a minute check out my UA-cam channel Fiddler Wrik. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
I like this channel a lot. Not pushing the fact that ending racism is a "left" or "right" thing. Just peacefully having fun with doing good things towards ending racism. It's about unity man, doing these fun things with the town that is labeled racist just shows how to branch out to all sides to end racism.
yea from what I've seen, it usually takes just hanging out with someone, befriending someone, to realize everyone is essentially the same. There are a lot of white supremacist videos where they befirended a black person and realized they were ignorant the whole time.
@@aromlaa7066 Wdym? His comment is full of truth. I don't understand why people immediately react this way when hearing KKK members cam befriend black people (and eventually leave the clan) Look up Daryl Davis, he's a black man who eventually befriended a KKK leader. The root of racism really is ignorance
What annoys me the most is that when people think of Asia, they most likely only refer to East Asia. They forget India, all the "Stan" nations, most of the Middle East, and most of Russia are also in Asia.
My personal experience was the opposite when I was growing up in the UK. There were so many times when I got excited that an Asian was featured in a magazine, only to find out that it was a South Asian and never an East Asian like me (not hating on anyone, we ARE all Asians, it just felt like people who looked like me were never represented). Instead, we were referred to as Orientals, a word I always disliked and a lot of the time, the focus was on our "oriental eyes".

I’m always impressed when I see Americans like Rick Nowicki (is that right?) who are open minded and cultured. And, I never would have guessed from looking at him, and that bad is on ME for making assumptions!🙃 Either way, he looks very cool and seems even cooler.
Rick, I believe it is small efforts like yours, offered with kindness and humor, that have the best chance of curing the xenophobia (fear/hatred of foreigners, of the "others") that has caused most human wars, and is still much too prevalent in our world. Thank you.
Actually, i believe that Zinc is actually the most racist town in America which resides a KKK group, they just do their parading in Harrison so their town stays clean in rep.
Xenophobia lol gotta shut cnn off and just go talk to people. This was allegedly the MOST RACIST town in America yet he was met with nothing but love and kindness. Maybe if he was in Chicago he would be treated worse but not in this backwoods "racist" town
Instead of “racist town” title, you should put “most culture isolated town”. I’m sure a lot of people are not racist but are not aware of how much has changed or how they were raised these parts of the towns. I think it disrupts their comfort about the changes regardless if it’s a new store, different ethnicities, taxes, laws that makes everything more complex for every individual because there are a lot of people now compare to how it was back then.
You know, I think this is a really underrated response. I was honestly surprised when I agreed with you that "most culturally isolated" might be a more appropriate assignation than "most racist." I mean, at the end of the day, racism is just the result of ignorance, but sometimes people are so ignorant (through no fault of their own) that they don't even know they're ignorant. It's happened to me several times coming from a small town in the deep American South. And I love learning where I'm ignorant! It's room for growth!
This town is not the "most culture isolated town" however, there are Amish towns that are more culture isolated than this town while also being less racist
@@tb8654 I don't disagree with you, but I would play devil's advocate: while I wholly agree that there are non-racist Amish communities, is it really fair to label one town as "the most racist town in America" when their education system has so clearly failed them? The Amish have an excellent education system for the most part, so while they're isolated, sure, but they're educated to be empathetic to the plights of others. Some people in rural middle America don't receive that same thoughtful education.

Great video! But I think a few questions about Chinese history and some questions about Asian geography would have been good. Even politics or economics. For example which is the capital of China? Who was the most important emperor? Which is the most important Chinese company? or Who are the Uyghurs? What does the Republic of Taiwan represent for China?
This channel has a genius advertising and marketing strategy. The content perfectly targets people who would stumble upon this content through youtubes algorithms. Finding an audience interested in asian culture to advertise them a language course. Genius

When he said "Asian Cultures" I was expecting him to ask questions about all of the diverse cultures of Asia from east Asia all the way to the middle east. But no, apparently east Asia is the only Asia
Yeah, a little more variety would have been good, the questions were about chinese greeting, a chinese super hero, the chinese zodiac, korean pop groups, and a a taiwanese drink... It´s like if someone said they were to ask questions about Europe, and then almost all the questions were to be about the UK or Germany...
If you say Asian in the UK, although we know China, Japan etc are in Asia, we actually mean Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi etc. In fact on our forms Chinese would not tick the Asian box, they have their own so its different in different places.
For those who don’t know, Rick has his own UA-cam channel as well! It’s Richard Nowicki and he posts videos of him playing his fiddle! He’s great and also happens to be a good family friend

Asking someone about Asian culture is a bit unfair. As the yellow-shirted dude pointed out, depends on what Asian culture you refer to: Japanese, Indian, Iranian, Russian, etc, etc.....
@@tonis204 It's transcontinental, part of it is is in Asia and part of it is in Europe. The dominant culture and ethnic group of Russia are the Slavic Russians who are culturally and ethnically European but there are large minority groups in Asian Russia (Siberia), who collectively form the majority in Siberia, who are ethnically related to Mongolians, Koreans and Central Asians and culturally related to Mongolians, Central Asians, Tibetans and other Vajrayana Buddhist populations in India, Bhutan and Nepal.
I think it’s a perfect (mis)leading question as it’s SO wildly broad that like your first response would be to question it. But also agree that it’s probably the one question that could lead to the most “racist” responses so people might just be like “I don’t know”

Every racist I see tends to be very uneducated on other cultures and plays into stereotypes.

Since a lot of people are offended by the title: This is a follow-up to another video that established that while the town is labeled the most racist, you can't judge the entire town by the KKK which has its HQ there. The video is titled ironically to demonstrate again that the town isn't as bad as its been made out to be. The point is everyone should be more open-minded and not treat others based on prejudice. They aren't saying the whole town is racist.
The HQ is actually several miles outside Harrison in Zinc.
yea if people are being hung over night for being black, it’s safe to assume it’s pretty racist
The word "racist" was created for control on free mericans, its a form of shaming. Created back in the late 1800's early 1900's and to this very day we hear race hustlers headed straight to the south. Um, go to Minn, Mich, new yark cali, oregon, you will hear some stuff that will make Howard Stern blush. LOL!

@@free-birdrocker8809 How is a word gonna control free *americans?
I guess the lesson is not to believe stereotypes about groups of people. For the "most racist" people in America, they don't sound very racist.
They are talking to an Asian guy. If you were a racist, would you express your racism directly at his face? Of course not. All they are doing is abiding by basic manners while talking to a stranger, no matter their actual belief. Just because they don't sound explicitly racist doesn't mean they aren't. Not assuming or anything, but it can really be either way.

@@nybergsgarage Well, our media and history only wants to talk about those who "did it bad". It's what you want to remember about US history that makes it today. A lot of people can go on about how Europeans came over and stole land, owned slaves and segregate the races. But, a lot of them came to be in the abolitionist movements, fight on the Union side of the Civil war, fight to end wars against the natives and land seizers and took part in the Civil Rights movement. It's only what people want to hear and remember about a country to make it what it is today. Especially with the white half of the country.
Honestly, people tend to be friendly wherever you go if you're friendly first. Southern Whites in particular are crucified by Hollywood as the world's most horrible people, but the truth is that any given group of white American southerners is not unlike any other ethnic/national group of anyone else. Most will be nice or at least cordial. Some will be indifferent. A few will be hostile.

For being 'the most racist town in Arkansas', the people that were picked to do these questions seemed pretty nice and down to earth. As someone living in the SF Bay Area, I struggled with a couple of those questions.
I think this video shows we shouldn't be sowing stereotypes and perhaps some of the divisions we create are only of our own perceptions. The morale. Don't judge a book a book by its cover or because someone else already described the cover and no one bothered to follow up. I couldn't get most of these questions. There is no distinction here between a town in Arkansas and its people and a town in California, Washington or Oregon.

To be fair, if you travel into the heartland of China, which I have done, it’s much the same as this. I lived in China for six years and traveled a lot for my job. Although people are fairly knowledgeable about the USA, because they learn in school English starting in second grade (so they know English greetings), there’s extreme ignorance about Europe and Latin America. So many times I would find people that didn’t know what language was spoken in Mexico or Cuba or Argentina or Spain. They had never even heard of Spanish. They wouldn’t know the difference between Spanish, Italian and French. I also had teenage students who thought that London is the capital of the USA. I also met people who thought that the English language originated in the USA, not in England.
I think the bigger a country is, and the more self-sufficient it is in providing its own entertainment/movies/songs/TV, the more ignorant it is of the outside world, especially if people don’t live in cosmopolitan cities that don’t get a lot of foreign visitors and workers.
The people in Shanghai are much more internationally savvy than the people in Yinchuan. Same thing with the people who live in NYC and this people in this heartland town in the video.
TBH, it's very understandable. Why would a rural Chinese person learn about the details of European or Latin American languages. The vast majority will never go to any of those places and learning about them won't be useful in any practical way to them.
@@PerfectSense77 Came from rural China and I can definitely confirm this. In rural China when I was there, we never really thought about other countries or their culture and language because we were just focused on making ends meet. For the most part, the focus was on the kid(s) exceeding in school, going to university, and getting a job so the entire family could live in the city and not be impoverished anymore.
I am really glad someone pointed this out, and from my experience from living in Europe and the Middle East it's the same situation for many people, it's not an American thing

Look up Daryl Davis, he's a black man who eventually befriended a KKK leader. The root of racism really is ignorance

For the most racist town in the United States, these people did not seem racist at all.

Yeah I was surprised too. CNN lied.
Msm controls the narrative. Control the mind, control the masses. Doesn't matter to them who gets thrown into the fire.
They’re not
Is just media missinformation
What annoys me the most is that when people think of Asia, they most likely only refer to East Asia.
They forget India, all the "Stan" nations, most of the Middle East, and most of Russia are also in Asia.
That's what ignorant means;;;
Not Knowing... Teach 1 Reach 1...
@@user-yp6wo5vd7v I only noted some examples
they always forget about kyrgyzstan 😢
My personal experience was the opposite when I was growing up in the UK. There were so many times when I got excited that an Asian was featured in a magazine, only to find out that it was a South Asian and never an East Asian like me (not hating on anyone, we ARE all Asians, it just felt like people who looked like me were never represented). Instead, we were referred to as Orientals, a word I always disliked and a lot of the time, the focus was on our "oriental eyes".

Why would someone who says White Pride be racist? I wouldn't look at someone who says Black Pride as racist, or Asian Pride or Native American Pride, etc. I really don't get it.
Let’s also give the lady with the Dickie scrub top recognition too! She carried her whole group to $100!
They would definitely have lost without her
I’m always impressed when I see Americans like Rick Nowicki (is that right?) who are open minded and cultured. And, I never would have guessed from looking at him, and that bad is on ME for making assumptions!🙃 Either way, he looks very cool and seems even cooler.

Rick, I believe it is small efforts like yours, offered with kindness and humor, that have the best chance of curing the xenophobia (fear/hatred of foreigners, of the "others") that has caused most human wars, and is still much too prevalent in our world. Thank you.
That world will get destroyed one day if racism doesnt stop
@Ragnar Odinsson sorry for you
Actually, i believe that Zinc is actually the most racist town in America which resides a KKK group, they just do their parading in Harrison so their town stays clean in rep.
actually most human wars were caused by rich people wanting more power but ok
Xenophobia lol gotta shut cnn off and just go talk to people. This was allegedly the MOST RACIST town in America yet he was met with nothing but love and kindness. Maybe if he was in Chicago he would be treated worse but not in this backwoods "racist" town
Instead of “racist town” title, you should put “most culture isolated town”. I’m sure a lot of people are not racist but are not aware of how much has changed or how they were raised these parts of the towns. I think it disrupts their comfort about the changes regardless if it’s a new store, different ethnicities, taxes, laws that makes everything more complex for every individual because there are a lot of people now compare to how it was back then.
You know, I think this is a really underrated response. I was honestly surprised when I agreed with you that "most culturally isolated" might be a more appropriate assignation than "most racist." I mean, at the end of the day, racism is just the result of ignorance, but sometimes people are so ignorant (through no fault of their own) that they don't even know they're ignorant. It's happened to me several times coming from a small town in the deep American South. And I love learning where I'm ignorant! It's room for growth!
This town is not the "most culture isolated town" however, there are Amish towns that are more culture isolated than this town while also being less racist
@@allisonneal9060 ^^
@@tb8654 I don't disagree with you, but I would play devil's advocate: while I wholly agree that there are non-racist Amish communities, is it really fair to label one town as "the most racist town in America" when their education system has so clearly failed them? The Amish have an excellent education system for the most part, so while they're isolated, sure, but they're educated to be empathetic to the plights of others. Some people in rural middle America don't receive that same thoughtful education.
Did you know in China during the covid pandemic they threw the Black African labor workers out into the streets making them homeless during the middle of winter fearing that they might spread the covid virus. Take it easy that racist narrative, you kids think this all fun but you have no idea what real racism is.

I love this comment haha
One of the best comments on this video hahaha
Lmfaoooooo too good
Or on duty, we don't know
Great video! But I think a few questions about Chinese history and some questions about Asian geography would have been good. Even politics or economics. For example which is the capital of China? Who was the most important emperor? Which is the most important Chinese company? or Who are the Uyghurs? What does the Republic of Taiwan represent for China?
BROCK CHOY HAD ME IN TEARS OMG
It's like one of them fake names the news anchor read off after the SF airport plane crash some years ago.

True, i can confirm this im a Filipino and visited both state
Agreed! I am treated better here and seen other cultured treated and represented better in America than any other country
I am from and live in Chicago and can confirm this is correct. The southern hospitality is very much a real thing!
That's because liberals are more racist than conservatives... as an Asian I can say that with very little bias
@@jonc8125 Your proof Asians don't know anything about racism go back to being a good model minority

When he said "Asian Cultures" I was expecting him to ask questions about all of the diverse cultures of Asia from east Asia all the way to the middle east. But no, apparently east Asia is the only Asia
That would have been cool 😎
@@fiddlerwrik2771 it would be cool but unfair. Those questions are for folks who know nothing about Asia culture and win
Yeah, a little more variety would have been good, the questions were about chinese greeting, a chinese super hero, the chinese zodiac, korean pop groups, and a a taiwanese drink...
It´s like if someone said they were to ask questions about Europe, and then almost all the questions were to be about the UK or Germany...
If you say Asian in the UK, although we know China, Japan etc are in Asia, we actually mean Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi etc. In fact on our forms Chinese would not tick the Asian box, they have their own so its different in different places.
because to east asians they are asia

Asking someone about Asian culture is a bit unfair. As the yellow-shirted dude pointed out, depends on what Asian culture you refer to: Japanese, Indian, Iranian, Russian, etc, etc.....
Russia isn't an Asian country.
@@tonis204 It's transcontinental, part of it is is in Asia and part of it is in Europe. The dominant culture and ethnic group of Russia are the Slavic Russians who are culturally and ethnically European but there are large minority groups in Asian Russia (Siberia), who collectively form the majority in Siberia, who are ethnically related to Mongolians, Koreans and Central Asians and culturally related to Mongolians, Central Asians, Tibetans and other Vajrayana Buddhist populations in India, Bhutan and Nepal.
@@tonis204 majority of it is
@@tonis204 only an American would say that.
I think it’s a perfect (mis)leading question as it’s SO wildly broad that like your first response would be to question it. But also agree that it’s probably the one question that could lead to the most “racist” responses so people might just be like “I don’t know”
