I just want to have clean skin without acne Edit: wooow 4.7k People who r struggling with acne and can't rid of it despite of healthy diet going to dermatologist every month (high price) those people can understand me ... acne isn't about meat or vegetables everyone has his story and journey Edit2 2021: I was diagnosed with PCOS they missed my diagnosis for 7 years because I am thin. I was always on healthy diet so that didn't help me but now I am on medication which decrease my acne and I feel better about my face Thanks for the likes .
Frankie Santiago but not in this way. It can be discussed without humiliating real people. He loves to highlight the “i-don’t-see-color” motto when he asks the question “Do you see any difference between the two skins?”.....yet only refers to the black student. This was just a pity fest for having black skin 🤮🤮 Yes this is an important topic to speak about but the way it was demonstrated here just isn’t right 😬😬
@@mariamtigane190 They all seemed like willing participants. It was uncomfortable for sure but insightful nonetheless. The most interesting points for me were from the African American students.
When I was younger, I was constantly berated and picked on for having dark skin. It didn't make sense, but my mom explained that in this world, the conquerors have pale skin, therefore, they have made their own image and likeliness ideal. After she explained it in that context, I understood. I observed that the so called most "desired" skin tone requires sun screen quite often, whereas my --so called ugly, hideous dark skin doesn't require any sun screen at all. I also observed that the so called "desired" skin tone ages rather quickly, while my so called hideous dark melanin keeps me looking much younger than my actual age. Additionally, I observed that women with light/pale skin pay a lot of money (via botox, plastic surgery, beauty products) to maintain a youthful look. It dawned on me that my mom was indeed correct. Having pale/light skin is not superior, the skin tone is simply preferred because the conquerors have the resources via their media and propaganda to ensure that their image remains the supreme image on the globe. As an aside, when you know better, you are supposed to do better. I don't feel sorry for the black men on the panel, because if given the option, they would more than likely choose to marry a woman with light/pale skin. In essence, they continue to create their own problem.
@@jamalwashington6761 not really... The brain doesn't care about the race that you see..it vares about your traits and color to make assimilation...

The brain is kind of a giant mathematic computer hahaba it always try to look for patterns... Hahaha
If we're talking about colourism that's ALL over the world, you'll never escape it. Now institutionalised racism may not exist in majority 'black' countries within Africa, but western and colonial ideals are still leaked into life and culture there.
claver chindove you are sooo right! The Africans don’t hate dark Africans or look down on dark people! Yess many like the brown/yellowish complexion its very fashionable but I don’t believe colorism exists in the African community like it does in the black American and black British community where no matter how ugly you are you’re still seen as being beautiful because you’re light skinned.
@@startrill3603 Oh please, colourism is thriving in Africa; stop lying to yourself. Light skinned & biracial people are treated like they are a gift to society.
@@startrill3603 I understand that you want to believe that and I'm not trying to disrespect you or anything but speaking off of first hand experience on a daily, colourism exists very very much in the country I live in, Nigeria, which is in Africa, as well as other places like India, where theres the cast system and the darker ones are lower and lighter ones higher, that's why bleaching I.e whitening/lightening of the skin is so common in these places. I will not use what has become an umbrella term 'Africans' but I will say Nigerians are definitely very colourist
and yet he has the nicest skin. This dimension is up side down in truth. Who in the hell would want pale skin, honestly. Not, even white people want pale skin it's against nature...
@@janetjones4310 pale skin is a bit too white and no one wants to look like Dracula. Nothing wrong with dark skin, this is why we have that skin problem in the bed community. According to European standards white skin is better
LOL. People feel bad watching the darkest guy get shyt upon ... but they don’t want to fix the fact that dark ppl are getting shyt upon. If you feel bad for him ... go find the darkest guy or girl and say hi. Tell him or her that she’s beautiful. Go to the sperm bank and choose some dark babies. Stop excluding dark ppl from your lives. That changes the story.
@@janetjones4310 Pale skin is not against nature lol. We evolved differently based on our climates. Northern Europe is colder and doesn't get as much sun, so our skin is pale in order to allow our bodies to absorb more sunlight to create vitamin d. Black people have darker skin to protect them from frying in the hot African sun.
I love how we live in a culture where everybody is walking on eggshells, so paranoid, calling each other out (etc.), and Sam's just like, "Nah, I'm gonna play with fire." These classes are so interesting and thought-provoking.

This is an edited segment of a course, with 30 classes each semester. There aren't conclusions. We are trying to get students to talk about these issues outside of class. This is a conversation that hasn't been finished anywhere.
In an Asian Boss short, a man from India was asked if he used bleaching cream. He gave the best response ive ever heard. He said, The sun is out 200+ days out of the year in India. Im going to be darker. Ive never heard someone apply straight logic to skintone before. His confidence in his skintone was so lovely to see, that i wish everyone thought this way. What would the world be like if people werent made to feel less than for having darker skin.
@Michelle Appiah in white race even tan is preferable . Look in the West white race want to be tan. Colour doesn't come with culture. It's come with sense of choosing perfect skin tone which is tan or medium fair not too white. Obviously white race hasn't have a perfect skin tone.
@Stephen M skin lightening creams r much older than beyonce. Also she is naturally that color so to blame one person for sytemic issue is plain illogical.
I'm hoping the cringy nature of it opened up some good conversations in small group conversations. After seeing how awkward you professor is, it can be easier to speak out.
lol true...but I think he means which skin tone is preferred ...and the guy at the end is correct about black people they dont want to be pale more like a white person with a nice tan...not all and not just black people but other races as well...Indians and asians also bleach...I've seen light brown black people even bleach...
That Nigerian girl doesn't know what she's saying. Women are the ones that bleach their skins. The men, we like dark. I should know, I'm Nigerian and I was born here and I grew up here.
Ikr! As long as he's a good man has a good job we're good, the color of their skin doesn't really matter. I think it's the guy's who mostly prefer to marry lighter skin/outside the race girls.
@Sarah Anderson I have never understood that myself, I can only say they have a bit of inferiority complex. I like my skin tone very much thank you and I'm proud to be black.
Agreed it is a bit insensitive and seems like the students did not quite know what they were signed up for here. Profs can be like this because they are so deep into academia, they are desensitized about the fact that students are real people with feelings!
The question is given awkwardly and answered stupidly. Trust me, people want what they can't have or is rare but not too different that it is unrelatable. Everything comes to what people consider associated with wealth. Pale skinned person with slight tan is looked upon as having enough wealth to spend a bit of time in sun. Dark skinned people who are lighter appear to be successful by not needing to work in hot sun. People want their babies to have the best chance to be accepted. They didn't have any white guy with pink undertones, no mestizo looking Hispanic ( this Latin guy was almost as white as Mexican soap opera guy) the two black guys were not that much of a contrast. They should have not shown any face, height or body. Why not have a box with arm hole and have the guys show only arm.
Because the whole presentation makes no sense... 🤣 he’s not even taking the point of view of the students he’s just making stereotypes fall out of their mouths 😭🤦🏾♂️
So many ignorant people in the comments saying “skin tone doesn’t matter”. Societally it does, it plays a huge factor in society and in life. A lot of social constructs we know are built around skin tone.
Here is one experiment... It really happened... 3 kids: 2 black and 1 white... Both kids treated each other the same way... Both were playing happy... Then they called each other to talk about race... That one group was privileged and etc ... Guess what happened ? Both started looking at each other with different eyes... The white girl started feelings pity of them... And when the white girl won these two kids said: "you just won because of the privilege.." And it seems that this doesn't only happen there... There's some father that said that their kids were feeling opressed and descriminated because of their skin color... Important note: their kids started acting this way after the race class... The issue is complex and we need to lo9k at ourselves to discover it... I believe it is called tribalism and we can see this happening a lot(tribalism isn't totally bad... It's the polarization that makes conflicts...) Here is one example: people that grew up in a black street have more chances to have a datk soin preference... The same can happen to "white"... The real reason why tribalism happen it's because you want people with common traits... I am gonna use politics as an example: Does a trump's supporter has more chances to socialize with biden's supporter ? Yes... It happens a lot... You look for traits that you can identify yourself or things tbat you are used to it... Here is another example: there's some story of kods that was bullied because they were white/black...important note: the white/black kid was bullied because the kid was a minority in that environment... We can see this happening a lot... There were a story of a guy who targeted 3 white(innocent it seems)... Some people were painting him as a hero... As we can see there's a double standard in each group... There's even groups that prefer to socialize with only white/black... This can prove my point... Another pont it's that most of the case it seems it isn't related to race...but traits! For example: you can see people for being more white/black than others .. It is an interesting observation... That's an important thing to consider... It is hard to let our hate go away... It can manipulate our emotions to seak revenge and not solution(a selfish revenge...because it only works to feed your hate and some times your prejudices...it doesn't bring any solution to the problem) So yeah...we have this as one of the reason why this happen... It is complex...we need to ignore our bias a little to check if this methods is really working or diving people or making it worse... I made a observation( i may be wrong) that it seems that most of people that says that they are ant racist has a lot of concern of races to the point that you need to identify your race to that person or that you must act or speak that way otherwise you aren't that race... Just an observation... I believe tbat the method is a failure... I live in brazil, I didn't have many bias or prejudices...now that i am in an english midia(most in the usa ) i have more prejudiceses and bias toward group... Be careful with your methods...pick a method that work for everyone bnot only one group... The first step to improve our methods is to acknowledge the problems in your methods...and of course: you can't do that if you don't discuss about your methods and different views... My opinion and my little experience... I hope it gave you some clues to improve your methods to solve the issue...
@Amelia Jones bruh.. everyone say that skin color doesn't effect anything but while for job interviews white ppls always have advantage, we black ppls have to work double or triple then white ppls, to get job this is how it effect Amelia kiddo when you grow up you will realise
Very typical, not surprised by the video. But for me being dark skin, I didn’t have any issues with guys trying to date me or accept my complexion. I grew up in a pro dominantly white neighborhood but didn’t really stand out in a negative way.
J Butterfly I’m happy you haven’t been negatively affected by colorism, you’re one of the lucky ones. But that is not the same case for everyone. The way they made the Haitian kid feel, many dark skin, especially women, are made to feel like that on a regular basis. So I guess just please keep that in mind. It may not have been your experience but we should try not to gaslight others (not saying that’s what you’re doing🙂) and be an ally for darker people who do experience colorism.
Bianca oh no, I totally get it! I have siblings that I didn’t grow up with that went through the total opposite of me. I was raised in Maryland and they were in the south. Sometimes that makes a difference also. It actually happened to friends in the north as well. Its hurtful and I feel it through the pain in their eyes. Honestly, I believe I only slipped away from criticism because my hair was very long and wavy and kids/ teens were always touching it, like I was a circus freak or something...😕.
J Butterfly yup you’re absolutely right it’s definitely harder for people in different areas. And yea hair texture and features also plays a part in how people treat you. I’m so sorry people petted you like that, that’s the worse, especially if they don’t ask to touch you. 🙄
IBrainedMyDamage if you look at a portrait of Jesus in different cultures he always looks more like the ethnicity of the people with in that culture. Do you understand?
IBrainedMyDamage lol Jesus’ portrait _by a white man_ . So an African portrait of him will be black, and a European white. Most likely he would have looked arab, because he was born in that part of the world...
@IBrainedMyDamage I was alluding mostly to the USA. Yeah, it's definitely common for people in 3rd world countries to place the white american image on a pedestal but within the USA itself I believe over the last 20 years there has been a shift in the ideal image from white to a darker complexion. Lots of movies and shows have interracial relationships where when I was a kid growing up in the 90's you rarely if ever saw it. Just my observation and opinion.
@IBrainedMyDamage It's not a bad thing to see mixed races I just think it seems like a targeted movement by hollywood to promote it as "cool" or "beautiful mixed babies" or whatever other adjective they choose. It is what it is either way. Most people at the end of the day are governed by purely sexual preferences, so they'll chase whatever attracts them the most.
@Korlover queen my point is you don't need to pay $1500+ for some guy to say it exists. If you do, then you've got bigger problems than racist strangers.
I agree. The way this was presented was cringe. I felt bad for the Haitian guy. Instead of focusing on WHY a certain skin tone is undesirable, why not focus on HOW to change the mindset? It think it's quite obvious why some complexions are more desirable as evidenced by all the responses from his students.
Right?! There is colorism in nigeria tho, especially towards women. But if a dark-skinned person is good-looking, they get a lot of attention; and some pp prefer dark-skin. My dad is light and my mum dark...he clearly prefers dark-skin! 😀
@@msontopoftheworld yeah it definitely affects women a whole lot more than it affects men. You'd see a lot of females would go for the dark guy cause his complexion is clean, they like clean dark men😁
The darkest guy is the most attractive IMO *Btw* these comments are killing me 🤣🤣 Please!! I have no preference in who I’d date because the white man with glasses is also VERY attractive to me looks wise (outfit umm ☠️) I’m from the UK, but I’m definitely in tune with colorism and racism over here it’s very overt and embedded in the system subtly, I can definitely understand why some may believe I like him cos he’s black, people do find themselves gravitating to familiar people that look people them especially in university 😊
Lero his experiment was about more desirable skin complexion, not looks and attractiveness, I’ve heard black guys say the African lady Lapita is beautiful but too black for them, so it seems like to some black men no matter how beautiful a lady is if she dark skin they would rather choose an unattractive lighter skin female. It is what it is.
There just seems to be some kinda pedophilia in this mentally ill guy. Talking about sperms and shit coming up with weird question while being curious. Nothing new for a typical white grown adult
Watching the students try to avoid the discussion because of the uncomfortable topic is great. Honestly, it's a good reflection of how most people view the topic. It's there, but unspoken. Nobody wants to discuss it openly.
It might be uncomfortable to watch but is a fact.... I a very dark black lady and I am happy and comfortable in my skin... you need to accept yourself the way you are in order for people to accept you....
That's not the point and you know it. Society imposes criteria of beauty and worthiness, even 3-4 years kid will prefer lighter shades of skin versus darker shades, i.e socialization and internalization of those values starts early. Good for you that you're comfortable in your skin, this wasn't about you or about the non-racist folks who don't see color. This is about a social reality and not denying that is there and we all know it. Pretending it's not there is self-defeating. The point of the exercise is also to show how universal it is, so there ain't no avoiding it. We all know it, we all pretend we don't acknowledge it, but we do, we all do, to some extend. That was the point of the exercise.
Gareth Mensah I know this is not about me, you do not have to lecture me on that , however I said what I based on comments expressed by other individuals on this experiment.....
I hate this so much. This technique puts targeted students person in a very weird situation in front of everybody Also the answers are not nuanced in this way it does not open discussions
I get your discomfort Ymir, but this experiment was done in an academic setting where the discussion could be explored in the open. The weirdness that you cited is experienced in society all the time. This exercise just tried to explore tastes and preferences. I'm sure the conversation continued in the lecture off camera.
Ymir, I think you need to also recognize that "your" discomfort with the topic is important. The topic of skin tone is no secret to any person of color. People of color have already learned this lesson in life at a young age. The most interesting part is the white American woman had the most difficult time identifying what skin tone was the most desirable for her culture. Everyone else was able to point out the skin tone with no problem. They may not have been able to articulate why that skin tone was desirable but they knew.
How it does open discussions if you and many others in the comment section are debating over it? You may not agree with his method but he could really trigger discussion.
@WADE Green Jr. There's nothing "interesting" about the white woman not being "able" to pick out her most desired skin tone. All the other race women were able to do so comfortably without heistation and with no contrition. The white woman could and would do the same, were it not for Marxist-authored, collectively-enforced anti-white peer pressuring that causes her awkward hesitation among a mixed race grouping. No white person in modern academia/work settings/media is allowed to express their preference for their own kind without being drummed out as a dangerous racist. And those responsible for perpetuating that dynamic, should be hanged in public and if history reemerges as it so reliably does throughout the centuries, they likely will be.
Its hard to watch because he DID prove his point. The moment each student struggled to answer why they chose that color it proved the professors point. If there was no other motive behind cultures passing down the idea of light skin preference then their responses would have been comfortable to say. You ask these same students "Whats your favorite color" and they would have no trouble answering and explaining. Their hesitation is because they know their answers stem from traditions they wouldnt be proud to share.
jethrobodineus honestly that’s really what’s important to me probably even Subconsciously..color isn’t of much importance or value when talking about desirability. I have dated a variety of people with no real pattern when it came to skin colors. White, mixed, Hispanic, black etc my husband is Hispanic...
Amen to that. I think the most idiotic thing from him was asking them opinion of general population from the inviroment they come. An individual can express only itself opinion and maybe opinion of its close ppl it knows. If the idiot teacher wanna know the general opinion he has to do a survey on all population.
It's mostly uncomfortable because this is a transparent attempt at Maoist style struggle sessions to try to browbeat and social engineer young people out of whatever they may naturally find attractive. You have this creepy-ass old dude using his position of power and almost no one's going to challenge him on this even if they get what he's doing.
@@marshannajohnson8584 It's only an elephant in the room if you make it one. It's rather unlikely everyone is walking around thinking "Ooh, here is someone with a different skin colour from mine."
Marshanna Johnson I’ve never thought about this subject matter (“colorism”), I have never engaged in a conversation about it, and I am not the least bit familiar with it. Frankly, I find it baffling that it’s a thing.
I really like how he approaches the uncanny valley of racism. It’s very uncomfortable and yet it’s powerful and very straight forward. There’s absolutely no bullshit in this lecture. It’s pretty realistic.
there was def bullshit because they were even uncomfortable to talk about it and some wouldnt really admit the truth not even the dark man himself wanted to admit the truth about color
It was obvious that the black kids there were trying to assimilate into what seems to be a very white school. So blindly unaware to their ignorance, including the psuedo-enlightened professor.
The point is making us all realise that racism is alive but pointless because all of them said white is best but none of them know why. In other words racism is learnt behaviour and foolish behaviour
This is an introductory course of race relations in the United States. The point of this exercise was to ask about "ideal skin tones." Because at Penn State we have a very large white population (PWI) and a lot of students here haven't thought about race very much. And so they don't think about how people of color have social implications of being lighter skin. So we asked these students how they felt about it.
@@franki3Ru550 its a wrong thought. Who cares they look at you or not,you are who you are,with an identity on your self,be proud of that cultures and history from where are you coming. Glad to talk with you!
This was painful to watch 😢. I felt severe emotional anxiety for the darkest guy in the group. Not one culture chose his skin tone as the ideal shade. Very very sad. We must love ourselves no matter what skin we were born with.
That is why this is done, to perpetuate the white agenda. White is wonderful and all things good, and black is terrible and all things bad. It never ends!
Dude they just showed like 4 or 5 ethnicity moreover we love and marry only one person not the whole community so its not even a point of duscussion so don't feel bad about this crap
I m a brown boy, but i really like darker skin because it has no pimple and attractive, and natural body of black are very good..and say this with 100% truths
That bring up an excellent point. A lot of the time it's not self-hatred, but the dislike of the perceptions that other have over something you cant control. Being of color in no way determines the type of person you will be, despite other practicing mental heuristics
Yes!!!! I was thinking THESE ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS? Damn, the Swedish girl was the absolute WORSE! "I dunno" The Black girl articulated well about AA culture and the Egyptian girl. The last White girl was so concerned about how she would be perceive she had to ask for clarification a 100 times. Jeesh!
"Just to clarify...this is NOT a reflection of me or my friends or colleagues or cousins or hometown or state or country...just of my community , right?" 🙄🙄🙄😂
This is a experiment in background people about their believe in their own cultures wich includes opinions, costumes and other thinks at the end what we need to think is that we're equal to each other no matter the color of the skin. This experiment tries to say we choose people without thinking we just use our common sense base on our cultures and what we were taught
the old man is trying push some fucked up agenda, i didnt like how he was talking about knowone would go to spermbank and ask for the darkest sperm smh and how can pale be the most desireble if most whites tan their skin and now have white women blackfishing...
Feels like he's forcing the students to answer when they didn't want to or maybe didn't even agree with what they were forced to answer. Seems super awkward
He pulled them from outside of the classroom, which means they volunteered. It's awkward and feels forced because people don't like to talk about skin tone.

@Jose Moran Well everything under the SUN has melanin. Trees, animals and melanated people. I love being black and having golden undertones. Darker skinned people age better because of their melanin and it has more benefits biologically than pale skin. The only advantage pale skin has is socially.

Skin colour, ethnics, height, facial/bone structures cannot be changed, but determines your value in society, dating and working life. People will lie about it, especially women. So just do your best to become the best version of yourself. Stay healthy, workout, get out of your comfort zone and keep fighting.
I mean why do women lie about it? Skin color matters much more for women, light skinned women are seen as much more attractive in all cultures, and dark women are seen as ugly, not feminine enough, and whatnots. Men regardless of race, dodge their own dark skinned women, and choose the light skinned women.
@@jakonjhn yes bruh u r right otherwise every article I read over internet they say that light skin preferences and attractiveness is made by oppressing white european people but it's not that it is natural human tendency.

Yes because in most culture, darker skin equates to working class poor people. For example, workers who work in the fields out in the sun. And darker skin may look dirtier.
Against whites? Sure, but that's the point. This is a Maoist style struggle session against young people without the information, vocabulary and experience to deal with this kind of shyster trying to claim whatever natural impulses they have are somehow wrong and evil.

The term, I believe is colorism . It refers to inner-racial discrimination. African descent people want somewhat darker skin, but not too dark. Hispanic people want to look Spanish, but not too Spanish, Jewish people, Japanese people, all the same. Colorism mentality considers the ideal skin tone (and facial features) to have a percentage of Caucasian ancestry mixed in. The preference of some cultures for this mixed race aesthetic has to do physical attractiveness - symmetry, vibrancy, youthfulness, radiance, fertileness - the things humans notice in each other, but also assimilation. It is easier for a lighter skinned, facially Caucasian-ized person to fit in. In the US, for example, a lighter skinned Mexican has better job opportunities than a darker skinned Mexican. Jewish actors who look less Jewish, have more casting opportunities. And, not surprising, the phenomena of colorism and assimilation are the direct results of centuries of worldwide caucasian colonization and the systemized racism that came with it. Everything from advertising to movies and television has taught the world to desire whiteness. (I was married to a sociologist).
The honest truth is that, just as much as people are not rushing to be extremely dark skinned, nobody is rushing to be extremely pale white either. Nobody. For instance, If you have a pale white person and a caramel colored black person, honestly, most of any race is going to choose the caramel colored skin as most attractive. Most people don't necessarily want either extreme, but something more moderate, in between. Tan skin, even deep tan skin is the great desire now... The brown skinned black guy and the mixed guy would be considered the most attractive color to have, based on what people realistically praise and are actively going for these days. What respondents were saying was not reflective of what actively happens in the way of attraction and wants, but what some people ASSUME in their minds, based on intentional, generalized media brainwashing. The way this psuedo experiment with this instructor was conducted is falty.
They should feel uncomfortable. This is an issue prevalent in society. This is a college class, not just any but a sociology class. This is the type of issues covered in sociology. A college class is suppose to get people to use cognitive discernment . It is supposed to initiate responses to get students to think, interpret, express and organize their thoughts and then to communicate that thought in an intelligent and intellectual manner. Have discussions and debates in attempts to understand other perspectives and work together to form a common solution or understanding. And you do not know that this is only step one in a series of classes.
@@davideckhart1123 Um....okay?😕 Based on what I've seen, I don't think that's true or the most historically accurate.😶 But I am sorry for any group of people (European or not) who have been raped or murdered. I do hope it gets better in the future.😊💖
Same. People need to stop seeking validation honestly. Validate yourself first, be the best version of that. And there's reverse racial bias too. There are people "fetishizing" black folks so ... that's not better.
Sometimes after eating nuts and going to the bathroom it hurts .. I want you to feel what I feel !! I want you to experience discomfort to understand me
She said she chose the guy on the end because he was her complexion then said well I'm usually lighter. Really? No that's your natural skin tone and you want to fit the "ideal" look smh
@B. KCee right. That's what I was saying . Lighter skin seems to be preferred overall. In the Hispanic community. African American community. Even the Chinese girl said that they would like to look white. It's very sad
I'm African American and Afghan descent I consider myself a Brown man my skin is a medium brown complexion. This is important cause of Racism and stereotypes. My skin gets really dark in the summer time
How uncomfortable! Everyone was so awkward. But I think the teacher was going for awkward and uncomfortable. Only then will each student be forced to look not only at the "issue" of SKIN COLOR, but also uncover and challenge their own beliefs. We still have so far to go
@Teringventje no it's deeper than preference when it's THAT widespread New Gameo has a point. It's ignorant to not see that brainwashing exist personal preference is one thing but we're talking about a bigger issue here.
@Teringventje I said preference is one thing he's not talking about what the girls were attracted to and I also said it's ok to prefer a certain skin tone but it was not JUST about what the girls were attracted to, he asked each one of them which skin tone was preferred in their culture wide spread and I said it's deeper because if you didn't know racism is deeply embedded in our culture and has affected some people of many different ethnic groups in thinking the closer to white the better. Even in the media back in the day there was a thing called black face where they put big red lips on and black face to make fun of and degrade black people, they purposely wouldn't portray beautiful black women on tv but only put beautiful white women on tv and over time the influence of seeing for the majority only white people in good lighting and minorities in poor lighting and stereotype has had an effect on people culturally. So before you attack me on 'preference' not once did I say it was wrong to prefer light over dark I said it was deeper because this video clearly portrays a cultural epidemic. I'm not just blowing smoke I honestly love my skin tone I wouldn't trade being dark for being light, so I'm thankful that none of this affects me. I think Lighter skin tones are beautiful I also think tan and darker tones are beautiful! So chill.
@Teringventje once again I never said it's wrong to be only attracted to one race or skin tone nor did I say you or anyone should be obligated to be attracted to brown skin, or black people how many times do I have to say it?! You missed the entire point Also if you watched the video it's not about being sexually attracted to anyone it's about what shade universally is considered most acceptable and that was pale. Who knows if it was the girls choice of their personal preference they could've chosen the dark black guy medium brown black guy Latino guy Paler guy whatever it wasn't about who they were sexually attracted to it was about what complexion is considered most desirable in the world and in America blue eyed blondes is the "standard" for beauty for a reason. Even when you google search beautiful women mostly white women appear you have to include black to see black women or Asian to see Asian or Hispanic and so forth. There's an agenda. People are people so why can't every ethnicity be represented when you search beautiful women? Why can't it be more diverse? Even searching weddings is the same way. I know for a fact there are undeniably gorgeous people of all shades there is no superior complexion. I know a Nigerian girl who only dates white guys and that's all she's attracted to, she is very dark and beautiful and absolutely loves her skin and culture I don't think anything is wrong with her or anyone for that matter having a specific "type". All I'm saying is sometimes when all that's put in front of you by the media is a certain type of person in movies and tv so forth people can become brainwashed into thinking that's whats most desirable. This lesson that man conducted was very awkward with an abrupt ending that leaves you hanging but I'm certain that the main idea he attempted to convey surpassed a person's (sexual) preference and if you can't see that, then I can't convince you otherwise. Again, I am not attacking anyone's personal preferences. I personally don't discriminate.
And that was teaching insecurity for those that have anything more than a tan. It also taught the lighter people too take pity for the darker ones. Brainwashing and the victim mentality at it's finest...aka, indoctrination.
People are missing the point,1. he didn't ask YOUR personal preference, and 2. he didn't suggest there was anything innate about skin colour preference. Also the exercise was most likely meant to be uncomfortable, because people like to pretend privilege and prejudice don't exist.
Thank you! People are missing the point completely. I wish classes like this were mandatory. As the world moves toward globalization, it’s important to unlearn a lot of cultural biases that were ok 50years ago.
Right? They were all nervous to say it when he didn't ask about their preference but society's. The only thing that should have made them nervous was speaking infront of the whole class.
Honestly, I've never seen an uncomfortable caucasian male. Some if not all of the peole seemed to be trying. Through the discomfort of opinions and feelings of others. I agree with you. They tried. We have to start somewhere.
This activity/exercise makes me feel uncomfortable. The prof's heart is in the right place, but I don't think he's going about it the right way. If I was taking that class, I would use photos of people on a screen, and get students to VOLUTEER - not forced to refer to their "cultures" - how they think the people in the photos might be viewed around the world, and why they think that is the case.
@@myuglyshit9866 as darksins we get told all the timeeee we are not wanted. Nobody needs another white professor doing it in front of a crowd of students. Its easy to say "for the education!" but its harder to live, especially if the person doing it is not coloured and has no understanding whatsoever what that feels like. As a white professor, he should either change his way of going about it and not be so condescending, or just stick with images.
this is totally on the sidebar but your comment reminded me of the daily show with Trevor Noah with jaboukie talking about Preparations vs reparations😅😂
NO U oh please get real the dark guy and the middle eastern guy are the best looking. The white pasty guy is way to nerdy and awkward looking, the Mexican guy too short, and the brown skin black guy doesn’t have anything memorable or outstanding features.
I think this shared cultural preference of lighter skin is a remnant of ancient classism. If you worked outside your skin was darker than if you were rich and stayed in doors. But interestingly, cultures in the western world like the US and the UK actually buck the long standing trend and prefer tan skin. That’s a historical shift.
@Alisa KTS no tf they really don't. It's legit based of where you live and this is coming from a person with light skin. It's a preference, no need to degrade someone for it. Lol white people have such fragile egos.
@Darius Brown there is always some idiot trying to belittle someone, wow I'm sure you are one of those lonely people putting negative comments on all UA-cam videos to make yourself feel brave 😂👏🏼 you must have too much time on your hands lol
Most of these so-called "whitest" ones can't stand in the son for even 5 minutes. Not sure why this teacher is telling people to go and get skin-cancer. I mean each culture has a preference but this is pure racist talk right here. The slightly tanned guy would probably be a good choice.
In East Asian culture (where I'm from) pale skin is associated with wealth because you could afford to stay indoors. This has been the case since ancient times. Dark skin is associated with outdoors work (eg. farming) which was done by poor people so subconsciously dark skin is associated with poverty, even today. I don't know about other cultures but I've heard the same thing about Polynesians. I read that in Polynesian culture, apparently the most attractive women were fat and pale because they could afford to eat well and stay in the shade.
It's natural but to be honest the Egyptian girl was totally not judging by culture...im from Egypt and almost all would prefer the tall pale guys skin or the short fair guy skin ....
This was uncomfortable to watch. There were some good points made. The skin color of people in Sweden is due to environmental adaptation, however. Having pale skin reduces the chances of vitamin D deficiency during winter. That wasn’t discussed. However, it is sad to hear that there are some people with dark skin are bleaching their skin. We need to love ourselves no matter how dark or pale we are.
Purvha Badhrapada I agree with it being uncomfortable to watch however both sides are doing things to look like the other. Whites want tanned skin, Fuller lips, big butts. Blacks want lighter skin and a thinner nose. What can we say?
Why is bleaching considered sad and tanning light skin is not. When someone bleaches, they are only able to remove tan, they don't turn into albino white. Just the color they were as babies.

This is interesting because it begs the question "Why is light skin preferred to dark skin?" It's not discussed and it should be.
Frankie Santiago but not in this way. It can be discussed without humiliating real people. He loves to highlight the “i-don’t-see-color” motto when he asks the question “Do you see any difference between the two skins?”.....yet only refers to the black student. This was just a pity fest for having black skin 🤮🤮 Yes this is an important topic to speak about but the way it was demonstrated here just isn’t right 😬😬
@@mariamtigane190 They all seemed like willing participants. It was uncomfortable for sure but insightful nonetheless. The most interesting points for me were from the African American students.
Finally someone in the same school of thought as me.
@The Truth hurts Do you feel suppressed?
When I was younger, I was constantly berated and picked on for having dark skin. It didn't make sense, but my mom explained that in this world, the conquerors have pale skin, therefore, they have made their own image and likeliness ideal. After she explained it in that context, I understood.
I observed that the so called most "desired" skin tone requires sun screen quite often, whereas my --so called ugly, hideous dark skin doesn't require any sun screen at all. I also observed that the so called "desired" skin tone ages rather quickly, while my so called hideous dark melanin keeps me looking much younger than my actual age. Additionally, I observed that women with light/pale skin pay a lot of money (via botox, plastic surgery, beauty products) to maintain a youthful look. It dawned on me that my mom was indeed correct. Having pale/light skin is not superior, the skin tone is simply preferred because the conquerors have the resources via their media and propaganda to ensure that their image remains the supreme image on the globe.
As an aside, when you know better, you are supposed to do better. I don't feel sorry for the black men on the panel, because if given the option, they would more than likely choose to marry a woman with light/pale skin. In essence, they continue to create their own problem.

I'll be better off in Africa and not worry about crap like this.
If we're talking about colourism that's ALL over the world, you'll never escape it. Now institutionalised racism may not exist in majority 'black' countries within Africa, but western and colonial ideals are still leaked into life and culture there.
claver chindove you are sooo right! The Africans don’t hate dark Africans or look down on dark people! Yess many like the brown/yellowish complexion its very fashionable but I don’t believe colorism exists in the African community like it does in the black American and black British community where no matter how ugly you are you’re still seen as being beautiful because you’re light skinned.

@@startrill3603 Oh please, colourism is thriving in Africa; stop lying to yourself. Light skinned & biracial people are treated like they are a gift to society.
@@startrill3603 I understand that you want to believe that and I'm not trying to disrespect you or anything but speaking off of first hand experience on a daily, colourism exists very very much in the country I live in, Nigeria, which is in Africa, as well as other places like India, where theres the cast system and the darker ones are lower and lighter ones higher, that's why bleaching I.e whitening/lightening of the skin is so common in these places.

and yet he has the nicest skin. This dimension is up side down in truth. Who in the hell would want pale skin, honestly. Not, even white people want pale skin it's against nature...
@@janetjones4310 pale skin is a bit too white and no one wants to look like Dracula. Nothing wrong with dark skin, this is why we have that skin problem in the bed community. According to European standards white skin is better
LOL. People feel bad watching the darkest guy get shyt upon ... but they don’t want to fix the fact that dark ppl are getting shyt upon. If you feel bad for him ... go find the darkest guy or girl and say hi. Tell him or her that she’s beautiful. Go to the sperm bank and choose some dark babies. Stop excluding dark ppl from your lives. That changes the story.
@@janetjones4310 Pale skin is not against nature lol. We evolved differently based on our climates. Northern Europe is colder and doesn't get as much sun, so our skin is pale in order to allow our bodies to absorb more sunlight to create vitamin d. Black people have darker skin to protect them from frying in the hot African sun.

This is an edited segment of a course, with 30 classes each semester.
There aren't conclusions. We are trying to get students to talk about these issues outside of class.
This is a conversation that hasn't been finished anywhere.
In an Asian Boss short, a man from India was asked if he used bleaching cream. He gave the best response ive ever heard. He said, The sun is out 200+ days out of the year in India. Im going to be darker. Ive never heard someone apply straight logic to skintone before. His confidence in his skintone was so lovely to see, that i wish everyone thought this way.
What would the world be like if people werent made to feel less than for having darker skin.
I've watched it too.... I'm from Mumbai India 🇮🇳🥰
Why is everyone scared to say why the light skin is favored over the dark? Why are they sugar coating colorism? Why is everyone acting (color) blind?
Especially the black girl from Jamaica. Colorism is rampant in Jamaica and everywhere in the carribien.
Last time I checked the Jamaican girl said that there was colorism in the black community
@Michelle Appiah in white race even tan is preferable . Look in the West white race want to be tan. Colour doesn't come with culture. It's come with sense of choosing perfect skin tone which is tan or medium fair not too white. Obviously white race hasn't have a perfect skin tone.
@Stephen M skin lightening creams r much older than beyonce. Also she is naturally that color so to blame one person for sytemic issue is plain illogical.
They’ve been indoctrinated
I thought that this was going to be really productive and open up deep conversation but it just was cringy😐
Yeah it wasn't really going anywhere. I thought he was going to give it some direction.
Exactly. I was waiting for some kind of epiphany to fill the class but nothing.
I'm hoping the cringy nature of it opened up some good conversations in small group conversations. After seeing how awkward you professor is, it can be easier to speak out.

Nkiru Nwabudike Honestly most of them didn’t know what they were saying because their mixed with American and grew up there.
Ikr! As long as he's a good man has a good job we're good, the color of their skin doesn't really matter. I think it's the guy's who mostly prefer to marry lighter skin/outside the race girls.

He could’ve used photos rather than objectify his students
Agreed it is a bit insensitive and seems like the students did not quite know what they were signed up for here. Profs can be like this because they are so deep into academia, they are desensitized about the fact that students are real people with feelings!
Yes and with photos he could actually focus on skin tone.
Plus it's badly organised and he doesn't even know their names
This video really annoyed me. Its pointless. He's telling us what we already know. Don't like the way he talks about their skin
He’s white it doesn’t register. Theyre all born with innate racism
You can tell some students look so uncomfortable and some are not even paying attention 😂
The question is given awkwardly and answered stupidly. Trust me, people want what they can't have or is rare but not too different that it is unrelatable. Everything comes to what people consider associated with wealth. Pale skinned person with slight tan is looked upon as having enough wealth to spend a bit of time in sun. Dark skinned people who are lighter appear to be successful by not needing to work in hot sun. People want their babies to have the best chance to be accepted. They didn't have any white guy with pink undertones, no mestizo looking Hispanic ( this Latin guy was almost as white as Mexican soap opera guy) the two black guys were not that much of a contrast. They should have not shown any face, height or body. Why not have a box with arm hole and have the guys show only arm.

So many ignorant people in the comments saying “skin tone doesn’t matter”. Societally it does, it plays a huge factor in society and in life. A lot of social constructs we know are built around skin tone.
Here is one experiment... It really happened...
3 kids: 2 black and 1 white... Both kids treated each other the same way... Both were playing happy...
Then they called each other to talk about race... That one group was privileged and etc ... Guess what happened ? Both started looking at each other with different eyes... The white girl started feelings pity of them... And when the white girl won these two kids said: "you just won because of the privilege.."
And it seems that this doesn't only happen there... There's some father that said that their kids were feeling opressed and descriminated because of their skin color... Important note: their kids started acting this way after the race class...
The issue is complex and we need to lo9k at ourselves to discover it... I believe it is called tribalism and we can see this happening a lot(tribalism isn't totally bad... It's the polarization that makes conflicts...)
Here is one example: people that grew up in a black street have more chances to have a datk soin preference...
The same can happen to "white"... The real reason why tribalism happen it's because you want people with common traits... I am gonna use politics as an example:
Does a trump's supporter has more chances to socialize with biden's supporter ? Yes... It happens a lot... You look for traits that you can identify yourself or things tbat you are used to it...
Here is another example: there's some story of kods that was bullied because they were white/black...important note: the white/black kid was bullied because the kid was a minority in that environment... We can see this happening a lot... There were a story of a guy who targeted 3 white(innocent it seems)... Some people were painting him as a hero... As we can see there's a double standard in each group... There's even groups that prefer to socialize with only white/black... This can prove my point...
Another pont it's that most of the case it seems it isn't related to race...but traits! For example: you can see people for being more white/black than others .. It is an interesting observation...
That's an important thing to consider... It is hard to let our hate go away... It can manipulate our emotions to seak revenge and not solution(a selfish revenge...because it only works to feed your hate and some times your prejudices...it doesn't bring any solution to the problem)
So yeah...we have this as one of the reason why this happen... It is complex...we need to ignore our bias a little to check if this methods is really working or diving people or making it worse... I made a observation( i may be wrong) that it seems that most of people that says that they are ant racist has a lot of concern of races to the point that you need to identify your race to that person or that you must act or speak that way otherwise you aren't that race... Just an observation... I believe tbat the method is a failure... I live in brazil, I didn't have many bias or prejudices...now that i am in an english midia(most in the usa ) i have more prejudiceses and bias toward group... Be careful with your methods...pick a method that work for everyone bnot only one group... The first step to improve our methods is to acknowledge the problems in your methods...and of course: you can't do that if you don't discuss about your methods and different views...
My opinion and my little experience... I hope it gave you some clues to improve your methods to solve the issue...

Very typical, not surprised by the video. But for me being dark skin, I didn’t have any issues with guys trying to date me or accept my complexion. I grew up in a pro dominantly white neighborhood but didn’t really stand out in a negative way.
J Butterfly I’m happy you haven’t been negatively affected by colorism, you’re one of the lucky ones. But that is not the same case for everyone. The way they made the Haitian kid feel, many dark skin, especially women, are made to feel like that on a regular basis. So I guess just please keep that in mind. It may not have been your experience but we should try not to gaslight others (not saying that’s what you’re doing🙂) and be an ally for darker people who do experience colorism.
Bianca oh no, I totally get it! I have siblings that I didn’t grow up with that went through the total opposite of me. I was raised in Maryland and they were in the south. Sometimes that makes a difference also. It actually happened to friends in the north as well. Its hurtful and I feel it through the pain in their eyes. Honestly, I believe I only slipped away from criticism because my hair was very long and wavy and kids/ teens were always touching it, like I was a circus freak or something...😕.
J Butterfly yup you’re absolutely right it’s definitely harder for people in different areas. And yea hair texture and features also plays a part in how people treat you. I’m so sorry people petted you like that, that’s the worse, especially if they don’t ask to touch you. 🙄

@IBrainedMyDamage
I was alluding mostly to the USA. Yeah, it's definitely common for people in 3rd world countries to place the white american image on a pedestal but within the USA itself I believe over the last 20 years there has been a shift in the ideal image from white to a darker complexion. Lots of movies and shows have interracial relationships where when I was a kid growing up in the 90's you rarely if ever saw it. Just my observation and opinion.
@IBrainedMyDamage
It's not a bad thing to see mixed races I just think it seems like a targeted movement by hollywood to promote it as "cool" or "beautiful mixed babies" or whatever other adjective they choose. It is what it is either way. Most people at the end of the day are governed by purely sexual preferences, so they'll chase whatever attracts them the most.
This exercise was meant to be uncomfortable to show that this exists in all cultures. Many people don't understand that and it's a shame.

I agree. The way this was presented was cringe. I felt bad for the Haitian guy. Instead of focusing on WHY a certain skin tone is undesirable, why not focus on HOW to change the mindset? It think it's quite obvious why some complexions are more desirable as evidenced by all the responses from his students.

Right?! There is colorism in nigeria tho, especially towards women. But if a dark-skinned person is good-looking, they get a lot of attention; and some pp prefer dark-skin. My dad is light and my mum dark...he clearly prefers dark-skin! 😀
@@msontopoftheworld yeah it definitely affects women a whole lot more than it affects men. You'd see a lot of females would go for the dark guy cause his complexion is clean, they like clean dark men😁
@Michelle Appiah they feel the dark complexion isn't attractive enough for a woman. It's just horrible
@Stephen M I don't think it is
The darkest guy is the most attractive IMO
*Btw* these comments are killing me 🤣🤣
Please!! I have no preference in who I’d date because the white man with glasses is also VERY attractive to me looks wise (outfit umm ☠️)
I’m from the UK, but I’m definitely in tune with colorism and racism over here it’s very overt and embedded in the system subtly, I can definitely understand why some may believe I like him cos he’s black, people do find themselves gravitating to familiar people that look people them especially in university 😊
Yeah he is!
Lero his experiment was about more desirable skin complexion, not looks and attractiveness, I’ve heard black guys say the African lady Lapita is beautiful but too black for them, so it seems like to some black men no matter how beautiful a lady is if she dark skin they would rather choose an unattractive lighter skin female. It is what it is.

Watching the students try to avoid the discussion because of the uncomfortable topic is great. Honestly, it's a good reflection of how most people view the topic. It's there, but unspoken. Nobody wants to discuss it openly.

It might be uncomfortable to watch but is a fact.... I a very dark black lady and I am happy and comfortable in my skin... you need to accept yourself the way you are in order for people to accept you....
Could you add your picture please? Black is beautiful
Yes
That's not the point and you know it. Society imposes criteria of beauty and worthiness, even 3-4 years kid will prefer lighter shades of skin versus darker shades, i.e socialization and internalization of those values starts early.
Good for you that you're comfortable in your skin, this wasn't about you or about the non-racist folks who don't see color. This is about a social reality and not denying that is there and we all know it. Pretending it's not there is self-defeating.
The point of the exercise is also to show how universal it is, so there ain't no avoiding it. We all know it, we all pretend we don't acknowledge it, but we do, we all do, to some extend. That was the point of the exercise.
Gareth Mensah I know this is not about me, you do not have to lecture me on that , however I said what I based on comments expressed by other individuals on this experiment.....
💯💯👏🏽👏🏽
I hate this so much. This technique puts targeted students person in a very weird situation in front of everybody
Also the answers are not nuanced in this way it does not open discussions
I get your discomfort Ymir, but this experiment was done in an academic setting where the discussion could be explored in the open. The weirdness that you cited is experienced in society all the time. This exercise just tried to explore tastes and preferences. I'm sure the conversation continued in the lecture off camera.
Ymir, I think you need to also recognize that "your" discomfort with the topic is important. The topic of skin tone is no secret to any person of color. People of color have already learned this lesson in life at a young age. The most interesting part is the white American woman had the most difficult time identifying what skin tone was the most desirable for her culture. Everyone else was able to point out the skin tone with no problem. They may not have been able to articulate why that skin tone was desirable but they knew.
How it does open discussions if you and many others in the comment section are debating over it? You may not agree with his method but he could really trigger discussion.
@@acidginger If this comment was directed towards me, then you're preaching to the choir, D.
@WADE Green Jr. There's nothing "interesting" about the white woman not being "able" to pick out her most desired skin tone. All the other race women were able to do so comfortably without heistation and with no contrition. The white woman could and would do the same, were it not for Marxist-authored, collectively-enforced anti-white peer pressuring that causes her awkward hesitation among a mixed race grouping. No white person in modern academia/work settings/media is allowed to express their preference for their own kind without being drummed out as a dangerous racist. And those responsible for perpetuating that dynamic, should be hanged in public and if history reemerges as it so reliably does throughout the centuries, they likely will be.
Its hard to watch because he DID prove his point. The moment each student struggled to answer why they chose that color it proved the professors point. If there was no other motive behind cultures passing down the idea of light skin preference then their responses would have been comfortable to say. You ask these same students "Whats your favorite color" and they would have no trouble answering and explaining. Their hesitation is because they know their answers stem from traditions they wouldnt be proud to share.
Has nothing to do with tradition, it's just preference.

This is an introductory course of race relations in the United States. The point of this exercise was to ask about "ideal skin tones." Because at Penn State we have a very large white population (PWI) and a lot of students here haven't thought about race very much. And so they don't think about how people of color have social implications of being lighter skin. So we asked these students how they felt about it.
In Asian countries, the lighter the more respected. Sad.

Skin colour, ethnics, height, facial/bone structures cannot be changed, but determines your value in society, dating and working life. People will lie about it, especially women. So just do your best to become the best version of yourself. Stay healthy, workout, get out of your comfort zone and keep fighting.
I mean why do women lie about it? Skin color matters much more for women, light skinned women are seen as much more attractive in all cultures, and dark women are seen as ugly, not feminine enough, and whatnots. Men regardless of race, dodge their own dark skinned women, and choose the light skinned women.

In brown countries, poor people tend to be darker than the richer ones. Nothing to be offended about.
it's because of tough working conditions usualy labour work out in the sun
It’s true though. In the middle east and Southern Asia the poor community is usually darker.
In Mexico is the same way for many reasons. Poor people tend to be dark and rich people are pale.
Yes because in most culture, darker skin equates to working class poor people. For example, workers who work in the fields out in the sun. And darker skin may look dirtier.

The term, I believe is colorism . It refers to inner-racial discrimination. African descent people want somewhat darker skin, but not too dark. Hispanic people want to look Spanish, but not too Spanish, Jewish people, Japanese people, all the same. Colorism mentality considers the ideal skin tone (and facial features) to have a percentage of Caucasian ancestry mixed in. The preference of some cultures for this mixed race aesthetic has to do physical attractiveness - symmetry, vibrancy, youthfulness, radiance, fertileness - the things humans notice in each other, but also assimilation. It is easier for a lighter skinned, facially Caucasian-ized person to fit in. In the US, for example, a lighter skinned Mexican has better job opportunities than a darker skinned Mexican. Jewish actors who look less Jewish, have more casting opportunities. And, not surprising, the phenomena of colorism and assimilation are the direct results of centuries of worldwide caucasian colonization and the systemized racism that came with it. Everything from advertising to movies and television has taught the world to desire whiteness. (I was married to a sociologist).
The honest truth is that, just as much as people are not rushing to be extremely dark skinned, nobody is rushing to be extremely pale white either. Nobody. For instance, If you have a pale white person and a caramel colored black person, honestly, most of any race is going to choose the caramel colored skin as most attractive. Most people don't necessarily want either extreme, but something more moderate, in between. Tan skin, even deep tan skin is the great desire now... The brown skinned black guy and the mixed guy would be considered the most attractive color to have, based on what people realistically praise and are actively going for these days. What respondents were saying was not reflective of what actively happens in the way of attraction and wants, but what some people ASSUME in their minds, based on intentional, generalized media brainwashing. The way this psuedo experiment with this instructor was conducted is falty.
They should feel uncomfortable. This is an issue prevalent in society. This is a college class, not just any but a sociology class. This is the type of issues covered in sociology. A college class is suppose to get people to use cognitive discernment . It is supposed to initiate responses to get students to think, interpret, express and organize their thoughts and then to communicate that thought in an intelligent and intellectual manner. Have discussions and debates in attempts to understand other perspectives and work together to form a common solution or understanding. And you do not know that this is only step one in a series of classes.

Even in the media back in the day there was a thing called black face where they put big red lips on and black face to make fun of and degrade black people, they purposely wouldn't portray beautiful black women on tv but only put beautiful white women on tv and over time the influence of seeing for the majority only white people in good lighting and minorities in poor lighting and stereotype has had an effect on people culturally. So before you attack me on 'preference' not once did I say it was wrong to prefer light over dark I said it was deeper because this video clearly portrays a cultural epidemic. I'm not just blowing smoke I honestly love my skin tone I wouldn't trade being dark for being light, so I'm thankful that none of this affects me. I think Lighter skin tones are beautiful I also think tan and darker tones are beautiful! So chill.
@Teringventje once again I never said it's wrong to be only attracted to one race or skin tone nor did I say you or anyone should be obligated to be attracted to brown skin, or black people how many times do I have to say it?! You missed the entire point Also if you watched the video it's not about being sexually attracted to anyone it's about what shade universally is considered most acceptable and that was pale. Who knows if it was the girls choice of their personal preference they could've chosen the dark black guy medium brown black guy Latino guy Paler guy whatever it wasn't about who they were sexually attracted to it was about what complexion is considered most desirable in the world and in
America blue eyed blondes is the "standard" for beauty for a reason. Even when you google search beautiful women mostly white women appear you have to include black to see black women or Asian to see Asian or Hispanic and so forth. There's an agenda. People are people so why can't every ethnicity be represented when you search beautiful women? Why can't it be more diverse? Even searching weddings is the same way. I know for a fact there are undeniably gorgeous people of all shades there is no superior complexion. I know a Nigerian girl who only dates white guys and that's all she's attracted to, she is very dark and beautiful and absolutely loves her skin and culture I don't think anything is wrong with her or anyone for that matter having a specific "type". All I'm saying is sometimes when all that's put in front of you by the media is a certain type of person in movies and tv so forth people can become brainwashed into thinking that's whats most desirable. This lesson that man conducted was very awkward with an abrupt ending that leaves you hanging but I'm certain that the main idea he attempted to convey surpassed a person's (sexual) preference and if you can't see that, then I can't convince you otherwise. Again, I am not attacking anyone's personal preferences. I personally don't discriminate.
As important this topic is towards sociology. I feel like this wasn’t my properly executed.
And that was teaching insecurity for those that have anything more than a tan. It also taught the lighter people too take pity for the darker ones. Brainwashing and the victim mentality at it's finest...aka, indoctrination.
People are missing the point,1. he didn't ask YOUR personal preference, and 2. he didn't suggest there was anything innate about skin colour preference. Also the exercise was most likely meant to be uncomfortable, because people like to pretend privilege and prejudice don't exist.
Exactly 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽
Yes and he was also trying to show that this exists in allllll cultures
Thank you! People are missing the point completely. I wish classes like this were mandatory. As the world moves toward globalization, it’s important to unlearn a lot of cultural biases that were ok 50years ago.
Right? They were all nervous to say it when he didn't ask about their preference but society's. The only thing that should have made them nervous was speaking infront of the whole class.
Honestly, I've never seen an uncomfortable caucasian male. Some if not all of the peole seemed to be trying. Through the discomfort of opinions and feelings of others. I agree with you. They tried. We have to start somewhere.
The darkest man actually stands out 😍
Those Glasses gave me Clark Kent vibes 🤓😍
@giovanna yes
@giovanna yes
Darkest guy would get my vote for sure, any of those guys would. I don’t discriminate🤷🏽♀️
The white guy was proud though
I DONT CARE about a persons skin tone. All I care is a cute FACE.
🤦🏽🤦🏽
What about the personality?
all I care is about the personality and how they treat their mama WITH RESPECT
This activity/exercise makes me feel uncomfortable. The prof's heart is in the right place, but I don't think he's going about it the right way.
If I was taking that class, I would use photos of people on a screen, and get students to VOLUTEER - not forced to refer to their "cultures" - how they think the people in the photos might be viewed around the world, and why they think that is the case.
MsOnTopOfTheWorld it would not create as much discussion and awakening.
@@myuglyshit9866 as darksins we get told all the timeeee we are not wanted. Nobody needs another white professor doing it in front of a crowd of students. Its easy to say "for the education!" but its harder to live, especially if the person doing it is not coloured and has no understanding whatsoever what that feels like. As a white professor, he should either change his way of going about it and not be so condescending, or just stick with images.
@@rissmoua888 This video makes you seriously question the value of a sociology course at this university.
What about pictures of Michael Jackson starting from the 70's until the 2000s?
@@endokuken1678 You realise this is a serious issue right? Diff between life and death for some pp, so show some sensitivity and class! D***h***!
Thanks for being a great professor. You clearly care a lot and have really thought about these tricky topics. KEEP IT UP NO MATTER WHAT.
That professor's questioning sucks. Is he even academic? He has to make preparations
seriously.
I agree... He makes me uncomfortable...
this is totally on the sidebar but your comment reminded me of the daily show with Trevor Noah with jaboukie talking about Preparations vs reparations😅😂
@@MAMAHUNTR lol. Well if i were one of those students, I'd ask for reparations from him
The dark guy is the handsomest
Nope
NO U oh please get real the dark guy and the middle eastern guy are the best looking. The white pasty guy is way to nerdy and awkward looking, the Mexican guy too short, and the brown skin black guy doesn’t have anything memorable or outstanding features.
@@Valley__
Congrats on getting brainwashed.
NO U my opinion 💕👍🏽
@@NOU-iw3gb your skin probly is brainwashed lol
The teacher is Very insulting. The way he talk and move speaks racism.
yea like the blue black comment was rude
Romeo Rico Bejer he’s an awful teacher over all. I’ve seen his other lectures and he’s really stupid
He's not insulting. He's just explaining that in nearly every culture lighter skin is more desirable.
Berlin Wall there’s still a lot who prefer darker skin then lighter.
He's definitely a Democrat. Their obsessed with race.
I think this shared cultural preference of lighter skin is a remnant of ancient classism. If you worked outside your skin was darker than if you were rich and stayed in doors. But interestingly, cultures in the western world like the US and the UK actually buck the long standing trend and prefer tan skin. That’s a historical shift.
This video makes me feel so sad. What a sick world we live in.
Its was too obvious how awkward everyone felt
Your not edgy for saying something basic
Hmmmm....😑
How is it sick that most people prefer white/light skin? You expect everyone to find everything equally beautiful or what?
@Alisa KTS no tf they really don't. It's legit based of where you live and this is coming from a person with light skin. It's a preference, no need to degrade someone for it. Lol white people have such fragile egos.
This is a little awkward, how did I even get here 💁🏽♀️ this is highlighting how closed minded the human race can be to judge someone on skin colour
welcome to our worlds when it comes to girls even giving us second glances without even knowing us. Even guys are quick to ignore.
@Darius Brown there is always some idiot trying to belittle someone, wow I'm sure you are one of those lonely people putting negative comments on all UA-cam videos to make yourself feel brave 😂👏🏼 you must have too much time on your hands lol
What do these observations prove? Anything we don't already know?
That we were wasting more than 10 mins of our life.
@Merzetude Joseph the darker guy was so hot id go weak if he was anywhere close to me
Most of these so-called "whitest" ones can't stand in the son for even 5 minutes. Not sure why this teacher is telling people to go and get skin-cancer. I mean each culture has a preference but this is pure racist talk right here. The slightly tanned guy would probably be a good choice.
white skin the best ,everyone already knew that
@Merzetude Joseph That's not true. Most would go for the pale guy. Don't lie.
In East Asian culture (where I'm from) pale skin is associated with wealth because you could afford to stay indoors. This has been the case since ancient times. Dark skin is associated with outdoors work (eg. farming) which was done by poor people so subconsciously dark skin is associated with poverty, even today. I don't know about other cultures but I've heard the same thing about Polynesians. I read that in Polynesian culture, apparently the most attractive women were fat and pale because they could afford to eat well and stay in the shade.
Within south Asian culture they see pale skin as beautiful and dark skin as ugly due to colonialism
I think it's almost the same in every Asian countries. I'm from Southeast Asia.
I think you lost your mind.
@@Irwansyah-re7ot which country you came from, let me guess, Indonesia right?
Which East Asian country?
This was horrible preparation and set up
And of course if you have an audience you won’t answer honestly
I hope we don’t call this science
It's natural but to be honest the Egyptian girl was totally not judging by culture...im from Egypt and almost all would prefer the tall pale guys skin or the short fair guy skin ....
@@bilalkhan-ls3id bilal khan...from egypt....LOL we all know where you're really from.
@@yoloswag1357 WHERE IS HE FROM?DO TELL...DO TELL..😘💅😊
Yet, on the other hand, hes trying to open dialogue. And thats good.
they actualy did answer honestly, studies shows that white skinned are prefered by all races
This was uncomfortable to watch. There were some good points made. The skin color of people in Sweden is due to environmental adaptation, however. Having pale skin reduces the chances of vitamin D deficiency during winter. That wasn’t discussed. However, it is sad to hear that there are some people with dark skin are bleaching their skin. We need to love ourselves no matter how dark or pale we are.
Purvha Badhrapada I agree with it being uncomfortable to watch however both sides are doing things to look like the other. Whites want tanned skin, Fuller lips, big butts. Blacks want lighter skin and a thinner nose. What can we say?
Keepin it Keekee yes we are definitely participating in a convergence/divergence paradigm continuum
Yes we need to love the skin we are in.
Why is bleaching considered sad and tanning light skin is not. When someone bleaches, they are only able to remove tan, they don't turn into albino white. Just the color they were as babies.
Albinism and part fallen Angel made them white.
