We can barely hear Filipino teens today expressing their thoughts and opinions with confidence.. that smart shaming could be blame.. they think if you're smart vocally. they tagged you as nerd or "pabida". so smarts tend to hide their intelligence instead.
i feel like the indonesian girls want to speak her minds more but limited by the vocabulary... but then i remember indonesia back then have tough times to free themselves from colonization
Yes I feel that too but it could also because of manners, Indonesians are usually very careful in their choice of words in formal settings and we are always taught to be diplomatic
UPDATE ON THE PARTICIPANTS: Judith Reader's conversion to Catholicism deeply shaped her life's trajectory. In 1977 she participated in a documentary centered on her Catholic faith, embarking on a journey with her family to Rome. Now in her 80s, Judith remains an active and devoted member of her church. Yuriko Meguro followed an academic path, becoming a distinguished professor of sociology and emerging as a leading scholar in gender studies in Japan. Her contributions extended beyond academia as she served as the UN representative in Japan on women's issues. She is alive, and is quite "hip" with blue hair! Rarnati pursued her passion for literature, majoring in the subject at an Indonesian university and later earning another degree in France. Her life took an international turn as she married a diplomat, though she passed away many years ago. Raul Contreras found his niche in public relations, working for the Playtex Bra company. His expertise even led him to serve as an advisor to President Aquino of the Philippines. Sadly, Raul passed away in 2012 at the age of 72 due to complications from Lupus.
These kids are older than my parents. There ability to carry out a respectful dialogue while being able to laugh at themselves at such a tender age is inspiring.
Well in 1956 Korea had just been through the Korean War which devastated their country, that probably didn't help. At the time, it was one of the poorest countries in the world.@@jkookk-rh1wp
Raul made me remind of my former bff and classmate, he wasnt anything special until he open his mouth and talk to you educationally, his charm peaked that moment leaving a long lasting impression.
when the young Filipino man started speaking my jaw was on the floor like.. his voice doesn’t match his age but not in a bad way. He’s well mannered and spoke intelligently.
I found it kinda funny when I heard him speak and he had this 70s radio announcer voice on the body of a very young boy. He's quite frank and articulate in the way he expresses himself though.
Ilan taon na ang lumipas?wala pa din nag bago.,hahaha lagi pa din sinasabi education ang kailangan para sa tagunpay,hahaha lahat ng namuno sa pilipinas lahat nagtapos sa pinaka sikat na paaralan karamihan ng halal na nasa gobyerno lahat nakapagtapos ayaw nilang pagtrabahuhin ang di nakapagtapos na matyaga sa lahat ng uri ng trabaho,anong resulta lahat ng mayaman lalo lang yumayaman,angahihirap na matyiga,di nakapagtapos,di mapili sa trabaho,mahirap pa rin hahaha.
I don't think its superb or mature, thats just the norm back then, we look at it that way because on how much we have recessed/diminished our norm for intelligence and confidence, compared to even a current 16 year old filipino, having a hard time speaking english professionally.
@@aidszamuril4032 it’s not unofficial. English is the second official language of our country. Everything is written in English rarely anything is written in Tagalog, it’s only spoken but even Tagalog isn’t spoken properly anymore. It’s more Taglish then anything
The Indonesian girl produced intriguing and compelling notions , she also remained calm and patient when encountering opposite arguments . Bravo girl !
bro when the boy from the Philippines spoke I thought it was another older man host or something, his voice is firm, strong and confident in a very intelligent way
@no name What were your teenage years like? were you out there saving the world like Greta Thungberg?- Probably NOT. Everybody is glued to their electronic , including you. It's the 21 century.

The Indonesian and Japanese girl are so honest and innocent, the English girl is so straightforward and the Filipino boy is so smart and mature. I liked the personality of all of them very much.
@@bratzdoll3604 how does stating each kids personality comparing one another? They’re complimenting them not comparing. Get it right maybe read before you speak
God bless the Filipino child who has passed on and the Indonesian child for recognizing the racism in the U.S at the time. They were truly bright and can see the holes in the country and in the pledge. Crazy to see how the world has changed and progressed.
Yasss... and when the oldest girl said that they want to help that country like I mean girl I know you want to try to help but we want to build our country alone because that's are nation and we want independent because when you work so hard for your country, that will make you feel proud that you did it independently and not relying to other countries....
@@dogbread7146 I’ve been to Indonesia, even my mom is Indonesian. And I can safely conclude that their people can be REALLY lazy. They litter almost everywhere even when there’s a dustbin around, they try to scam you when doing car repair services.
I can't believed when the teenager guy started to spoke, his voice was for aged man like 40 up.. He's intelligent & he can be a good leader of our country later on but sad to know that he already passed away. Rest in peace 🙏
That Filipino teen is like handling this debate like if it was a casual meeting, he's so chill. He's very fluent too, Geez. Handling things *like a boss.* probably ate a dictionary, his grammar is amazing. _AND_ his accent is smooth as butter. My man.
@Janice Sandoval must be hard to deal with😂 when you're not a filipino I don't know why but foreigners are easily on my joke lists to tease😂 even accidentally.
Btw, people should remember that these aren’t average students, these are delegates sent for the purpose of cultural understanding and discussion. Of course they are intelligent, thoughtful, and well spoken. This doesn’t make them any less amazing but it’s extremely unrealistic to think that all young people from this time were like them.
Survivor bias, definitely. I do think that this is the kind of free discussion environment that we should strive for however - - no one is talking over each other, no one is swearing, no insults, just truthful uncensored discussion
you are right even in 2010 i still remember most of young people believe a fantasy things in real life. i once tricked my friend that i was reborn and that i dead in my previous life as warrior lmao. that time i was still 7 years old and my friend believe me and he look up to me like im 1000 years ahead lol.
Extremely impressed with the calmness in this debate. Even when the Filipino guy straight up said that he had prejudiced against the Japanese, when a Japanese girl is literally sitting next to him, everyone lets him talk and explained his points. The Japanese girl is even willing to understand and acknowledge the reason behind such prejudice. Even when the British girl was cornered due to her "Asians being lazy" statement, no one raises their voices against each other. This is an extremely beautiful debate.
@@mikealaniz7236 But they literally all gave their own prejudices. She was open minded to recognize that she herself probably offended someone in the audience while on that panel.
The indonesian girl is incredible. Hard hitting questions, well spoken responses. Also I was very impressed with the Phillipino boy. Very educational experience for me.
These kids are insanely smart! Also, the 17 year old Fillipino kid has such a young face yet sounds so much older and intelligent. Blown away by their maturity! His English is amazing!
The Filipino and Indonesian kids were beyond incredible. Their thoughtfulness and understanding of geopolitics transcended the contours of their generation. It was a great pleasure to listen to them.
These teens were alive during the slaughter ages. To see them be there so calm, grounded, and open minded to hear DIFFERENT views than their own and not lose their minds with screaming “passion” like adults now in position of power is so eye opening.
@@kashifuddinahmed8383 Not true at all. It's the generation before millennials that didn't know how to handle the success those years after WW2 brought them. It was unsustainable and people didn't look far enough into the future, only now are we realizing how important united attempts to improve society really are. It has to be worse before it's better.
This randomly came across my feed and turned out to be something that really grabbed my attention. The stories that are shared are so insightful to the perceptions from that era, and some of these perceptions still remain even today.
why is no one here talking about how Indonesia brought up excellent points to question the European colonisation in the East? her English was broken but her points were amazing and I truly loved how even though she couldn't speak eloquent English, she still didn't back down. speaking good English does NOT equal intelligence.
Literally!! And the girl from the UK worded it “you think we were taking away opportunities from your people” like why is it think? She’s correct it’s a fact they took away their resources and opportunities to grow as a country and set them back years
It was so sad to me when the Indonesian girl was asking about decolonization and the English girls started talking about how the colonizsrs were trying to help and must decide when colonies are “ready” to be independent.
When the filipino kid started talking, I immediately got goosbumps, his voice is soothing and gentle in a way that you would literally feel like listening to it all day everyday and not get tired of it
@@jimams_jamz5518 Yeah. I think if the topic of hybrid was to debated now, people would start shouting to each other at some point. I might have a hard time keeping my cool, too. Lol. But they handled it very well.
I love the way the Philippino boy was expressing his feelings towards Japan in front of a Japanese girl and she took it with a warm heart, no one silenced him not even her, i think that this is respect, and I love that video sm.
All four of them did. It is admirable to hear them talk with honesty about the social issues particularly regarding prejudices against race in their own respective countries as well as the prejudice against each other's races. These kids are great.
The governments and businessmen knew what they were doing - they just did not care. They sold it to their own people as "helping to civilize the savages"... They would send in the missionaries to destroy the culture, and the vulture capitalists to destroy everything else.
@@TitoTimTravels But they DID bring modern world to most of the savages living in middle ages. They brought telephone and cars to my country and railroads i dont know why many people have difficulty admiting that even if they did it for their own selfish reasons. You are now even using everything they made internet and language included.
As an Indonesian i probably would say this is a masterpiece debate that i've ever seen, The Filipino guy was amazing with his view about the issue. Hats off
@@bimasaktifirdausridho3276 artinya: sebagai orang indonesia ini debat terbaik yg pernah dia lihat. Dan anak laki2 philipina luar biasa (bagus) dalam mambahas isu ini. Angkat topi
@@dick2315 You are overweighted :D I think its pretty clever for 1956, but I totally get people today, who need to shit on anything just to feel like there are worth something and have at least virtual opinion for anonymous people to read.
This is how a debate should look like. Exchanging thoughts and ideas respectfully. No one's raising their voice or screaming/shouting to prove a point. No use of foul words or derogatory terms. This is how an intelligent, well-mannered, well-taught teens were. They were calm, composed, smart and with a little bit of humor in the pot.
Exactly. I've watched a debate with the topic Rizal or Bonifacio regarding of who would be deserving to be the national hero of the Philippines something like that. And it's irritating.
The Filipino dude's manner of speech startled me because that's exactly the way my Filipino dad speaks English--the lilt and the cadence--although my dad's accent is closer to American now ever since becoming a U.S. citizen. But I've never heard anyone else speak in this precise way, even in the rest of my family. Oddly enough, 1956 is also the year my dad was born.
I agree, same goes for me. I have a teacher at my school where I'm studying at, and she's really wise in speaking. How she delivers her speech is just amazing.
I've just found out that the Indonesian girl Ratnati Iskandardinata was a daughter of Indonesian National Hero Otto Iskandardinata. That's why she was talking about colonialism bcz her father fought against colonialism. Her father was one of our founding father.
As a Filipino lamenting what might have been if not for the various colonisations in the Philippines, the Indonesian young lady took the words right out of my mouth: "....but they didn't give us a chance, you see, and we didn't get to experience to build our country." Such a marvelous preserved media of the past.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😢
As a fellow country that was colonized by Japan for 35 years then went straight into civil war and got involved in cold war between China/Russia and the west post WWII, it really is a tough pill to swallow. My country bloomed after the colonization, and I hope your country gets the same chance too. I harbor no hatred for the modern Japanese though
Now the Philippines is stuck in their partnership with America, and American policy continues to treat the Philippines as a de facto client state. Shows the importance of taking initiative vs. taking the easy way out as a protectorate.
As a Pinoy/saxon The English girl didn’t fold like I expected her to, to the racially charged questioning. Though it seems the white guilt conditioning has been around a long time
I had accent like that as a kid until my early teens, growing up I loved watching western movies. I started by imitating the accents, then it just became natural as some point. Until I got bullied for being "weird". Shit destroyed my confidence so bad I frequently stutter now when talking to someone, especially in public :/ TBF I was in private school back then, I transferred because my family's financial situation changed. I guess Filipino students from public schools were just THAT different.
No hate to the guy, but I feel like that isn’t his everyday voice just like any other famous people back then for the sake of being in TV. When social media was invented and became more common, people started showing their natural voices.
I’m incredibly impressed with Philippines and Indonesia. They had brilliant points. I feel like Ms. Indonesia wanted to say a lot of things too but was held back by her limited vocabulary, so I appreciated how PH backed her up. It’s so refreshing and inspiring to watch videos like this :)
This really is refreshing to get back to and a good reference on how the methods and ways of debates and dialogue has slowly diminished in tradition and such respect over the years on some partys
yeah, not sure what happen to the old-tradition of debate where both sides RESPECTFULLY give their opponent time to present the full opinion and each side get into it for further discussion. Now its just "who yell louder" or "who speak quicker" contest and trying to trip each other off with stupid points.
You'll do realize that after having to have the same debates for literal generations people lose patience, right. When talking about civil rights, prejudice, and things that actually impact people negatively in a socioeconomic sense, because it's been done civilly and patiently for literal decades... They don't *owe* you that anymore.
"When a person loses track of the dignity of the human soul and begins to judge others not on the basis of their being persons but on the basis of race,creed,economic status THAT IS PREJUDICE" (THOSE LINES GAVE ME) CHILLS
Nothing but a fluff platitude. There is nothing wrong with discrimination towards a race, creed, economic status when the majority of said entity is responsible for crime or any evil. Wont hire a felon to watch your kids? Congratulations you just committed PREJUDICE
@@shizmoo5536 Yes, but to overgeneralize people just because one person associated with a certain race or background did such acts of cruelty is a very dangerous thing. We have to remember that not everyone are alike. True justice should be given to a person as an individual, and not fall into the slippery slope of collective punishment.
@@januaryhannaharanas3739 Only in a perfect world, you think a black man is going to judge a group of skinheads walking by him individually or assume they are out to hurt him? Like I said, racism/discrimination is perfectly fine and is the reason youre alive when statistics are on the side of your assumption. If youre just a racist because someone looks different youre a low iq fool
I really liked how the Indonesian girl emphasized that colonized country never had the chance to develop their own country instead had to carve it in a way that would best benefit the colonizers
@Mad Max and it was doing good that way !!! and they just destroyed and exploited the resources for next 200 yrs . pushed the country towards extreme poverty . I-
It's very interesting how the lack of a nation's independance and sovereignty as a result of overseas/outside influence can mess up the various cultures and work ethics there. Besides the british, the spanish and potuguese colonies in latin America are also good examples of that.

The fact that everyone got a chance to speak and was properly listened too whilst maintaining calmness and relevance is spectacular. This is what a debate should be!
Yeah That kind of debate is so great like it educated you too and you can hear the other countries thoughts about your county in like the honest way Not that being scared to share your real opinions because you are afraid to get attacked by them so like you just complimented them or something
The Philippines boy sounds like he could run for president. Something about his voice is very sophisticated and professional. Not to mention he was born 4th of July 😂
If this was in 2021 the host would treat them as kids that doesn’t know anything about life , while in the 50s the host is patient with them and treat them respectfully not as adults but as people who have different experiences
As a Filipino, I grew up not being good so much at Tagalog or Filipino, but I did enjoy Araling panlipunan even if it was Filipino, and I flunked at my tests. I enjoyed learning the history of my country and why it was so important about it, and I stood proud for my country. When I listen to this video, I don't really want to grow up and be a teacher but inspired by my teachers and to their learning techniques, I recommend letting students watch this during AP.
Fun fact, the father of the Indonesian girl is one of the founding fathers of Indonesia who helped in their Declaration of Independence and he was murdered a couple months after the independence was declared. His face had appeared on our bill for decades now.
@@user-tz3lg2vj2w i don’t know about the girl but the girl’s father is one of our national hero. Her father is Otto Iskandar Dinata, he helped the preparation for Indonesian’s independence but was murdered and his body was never found
not anymore, im filipino and people here LOVE the Japanese. Of course there are still a minority group who are waiting for that reparation bullshit for themselves, but I know for a fact that they have given us enough already through all the investment, financial aid and support on every natural disasters which happened throughout the years.
Ratnati was Our National Hero's s Daughter Mr.Otto Iskandar Dinata.... Exchange Students in 56's era more mature, Smart and have strong personality... Regard from Indonesia... Thank you for posting this historical video ... It was amazing ..
I love how everything isn't sugarcoated, isn't afraid to tell and hear the truth. More so the way they respect one another's opinions. Hope this kind of debate will be revived in today's generation without one being bashed and downgraded by expressing his/her opinions about truth, to note also that they came from different races.
The problem isnt that today's pupils aren't able to express their opinions but what the public hears are the loud voices and extreme opinions are almost always the loudest. That's why I believe a lot of genuine opinions are put silent by these loud voices that dont even wanna put up a debate
@azealiabanks the Filipino guy said he’s prejudiced against Japanese so that means it doesn’t matter if they’re Asian. It’s like saying people from Spain or Germany are the same as the US.
"Well, I guess we should carefully examine the individual first before passing any judgement on him. And if we ever pass a judgement, we should be just with it" -Raul Contreras. Beautifully articulated!
The indonesian girl answered the racial segregation the best, while Judith here denies it exists because she spent time with a 'negro' family which is basically 'i have a black friend i'm not racist' but back then
@@cazbutterfly4229 If the other countries can see it why can't she? She has the white saviour mentality where she thinks colonialism is good and whites can do nothing wrong
"Segregation" in 1950s UK was more on the basis of class than race and more often implicit rather than overt. There's a WW2 educational film for US soldiers arriving in the UK warning them to be aware that their own racial attitudes were NOT viewed positively by UK citizens. Indeed, a landmark case in 1943/44 awarded damages against a hotel because a Trinidadian cricketer was turned away from a hotel ONLY because they were worried the US soldiers there might take offence.
The Japanese Girl awkwardly sitting there looking at girl from Indonesia and the boy from the Philippines like “yeah sorry we invaded you like 15 years ago when y’all were kids”

Oh wow, the debate started when the indonesian girl questioned about colonization and talking about racial segregation, she was a quite shy and didn't talk much but every statement she made was stunning and on point! even british girl were cornered. I think there are many things she wants to say but she's hindered by the vocabulary. I also admire the philiphines guy that was amazing!
@@danirmdaniii I think op just meant that the indonesian girl doesn't know some of the correct terms to use in her arguments cuz of her lack of extensive knowledge of the language (I'm the same when I write essays and I'm thankful we have the internet now). I'm sure if she was using her native language she would be saying a lot of pertinent things.
I just love thsese old contents they are really worth watching and actually if we only neglect the video quality the other parts are just much better than nowadays discussions or debates.
I agree with Mr. Raul when he mentioned the bleaching issue here in the Philippines. It's sad to think that the Filipinos themselves think that our skin color/complexion is ugly or making themselves ugly and bleaching their skin can make them beautiful. I hope that we, Filipinos, embrace our own beauty and color.
I can't also blame them because the people from the entertainment world (Filipino artists, hosts, etc) mostly have a white complexion. And because of how big the entertainment world impact has. A lot of Filipinos think that having a white complexion will make them beautiful/attractive.
@@honeybee-bw7iz it's also because of colonization in which the beauty standards is meztizo also if you're mestizo you have wealth and power unlike if you're moreno you're poor or farmer.Also native filipinos back then were discriminted,enslaved etc. that's why we developed inferiority complex
luckily though, more Filipinos were starting to embrace their Filipino beauty and skin color. Nowadays, "kayumanggi" is considered ideal color is some Filipinos.

@3:14 it was amazing to see how the filipino explains his prejudice towards the japanese because of the war so articulately and the japanese girl was like “yeah that’s understandable” and they both just laugh it off knowing full well how the other feels and that they’re the generation that would have to live with their history but not hate each other
Nope,she didn't "said" that it's understandable,she laughed because it's an awkward situation and she just doesn't know how to react. It's what we call "nervous laugh or awkward laugh".
We need a followup of where his life went. I like to think someone who can articulate their thought so well and honestly even on such a sensitive subject would be very useful in many industries. A quick Google search says he passed a decade ago but worked in public relations, not surprised.
I had to double take when he began to speak. He talks better than many native English speakers. I would love to know where that young man ended up in life.
Prejudice: judging before understanding. Sympathy and compassion could help lower our implicit bias and latent prejudice to reach a system of equality and cooperation.

Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

As a fellow country that was colonized by Japan for 35 years then went straight into civil war and got involved in cold war between China/Russia and the west post WWII, it really is a tough pill to swallow.

Now the Philippines is stuck in their partnership with America, and American policy continues to treat the Philippines as a de facto client state. Shows the importance of taking initiative vs. taking the easy way out as a protectorate.

I had accent like that as a kid until my early teens, growing up I loved watching western movies. I started by imitating the accents, then it just became natural as some point.
Until I got bullied for being "weird".

When I listen to this video, I don't really want to grow up and be a teacher but inspired by my teachers and to their learning techniques, I recommend letting students watch this during AP.
Dude started talking and had the deepest voice I could have imagined. Not expecting it

that too from a 16 yr old

Fun fact, the father of the Indonesian girl is one of the founding fathers of Indonesia who helped in their Declaration of Independence and he was murdered a couple months after the independence was declared. His face had appeared on our bill for decades now.
They said that the Indonesian girl is one of the Indonesia's national hero. How come? I mean how was that happened?
What was her name
@@user-tz3lg2vj2w i don’t know about the girl but the girl’s father is one of our national hero. Her father is Otto Iskandar Dinata, he helped the preparation for Indonesian’s independence but was murdered and his body was never found
Her name is Ratna Iskandar Dinata.
Oalah.. anaknya Sukarno??
This was during 1950's and the issues talked here are still in a way relevent in 2021.

I'm a Filipino and Its sad that some of our Filipino journalist today can't comprehend as good as this 15 years old kid. He's way better.
Times changed. You must adjust to the changes of time, but those children were ahead of Thier time.
True
including the government officials, that couldn't comprehend their own words.
Weh tanginamo daw sabi ng tito ko nakapakyu
Yes, this 15-year old kid thinks better and has strong opinions that are validated.
I love how everything isn't sugarcoated, isn't afraid to tell and hear the truth. More so the way they respect one another's opinions. Hope this kind of debate will be revived in today's generation without one being bashed and downgraded by expressing his/her opinions about truth, to note also that they came from different races.
The problem isnt that today's pupils aren't able to express their opinions but what the public hears are the loud voices and extreme opinions are almost always the loudest. That's why I believe a lot of genuine opinions are put silent by these loud voices that dont even wanna put up a debate
@azealiabanks the Filipino guy said he’s prejudiced against Japanese so that means it doesn’t matter if they’re Asian. It’s like saying people from Spain or Germany are the same as the US.

"Well, I guess we should carefully examine the individual first before passing any judgement on him. And if we ever pass a judgement, we should be just with it" -Raul Contreras. Beautifully articulated!
The indonesian girl answered the racial segregation the best, while Judith here denies it exists because she spent time with a 'negro' family which is basically 'i have a black friend i'm not racist' but back then
Fr
well shes white, her family? white, her friends? probably white. so shes not gonna see alot of racism right infront her.
i agree
@@cazbutterfly4229 If the other countries can see it why can't she? She has the white saviour mentality where she thinks colonialism is good and whites can do nothing wrong
"Segregation" in 1950s UK was more on the basis of class than race and more often implicit rather than overt.
There's a WW2 educational film for US soldiers arriving in the UK warning them to be aware that their own racial attitudes were NOT viewed positively by UK citizens. Indeed, a landmark case in 1943/44 awarded damages against a hotel because a Trinidadian cricketer was turned away from a hotel ONLY because they were worried the US soldiers there might take offence.

I think she understands that she had nothing to do with it. Most people from most countries are amazing people, it’s their government and their leaders that do the nasty things. I hope even today we stop holding people who weren’t there accountable for the actions of their predecessors.

Oh wow, the debate started when the indonesian girl questioned about colonization and talking about racial segregation, she was a quite shy and didn't talk much but every statement she made was stunning and on point! even british girl were cornered. I think there are many things she wants to say but she's hindered by the vocabulary. I also admire the philiphines guy that was amazing!
No, it's not about the vocab..it's just her attitude
Filipino guy sounds like a mature man.
@@danirmdaniii I think op just meant that the indonesian girl doesn't know some of the correct terms to use in her arguments cuz of her lack of extensive knowledge of the language (I'm the same when I write essays and I'm thankful we have the internet now).

Debat apa ini y?

I just love thsese old contents they are really worth watching and actually if we only neglect the video quality the other parts are just much better than nowadays discussions or debates.
I agree with Mr. Raul when he mentioned the bleaching issue here in the Philippines. It's sad to think that the Filipinos themselves think that our skin color/complexion is ugly or making themselves ugly and bleaching their skin can make them beautiful. I hope that we, Filipinos, embrace our own beauty and color.
I can't also blame them because the people from the entertainment world (Filipino artists, hosts, etc) mostly have a white complexion. And because of how big the entertainment world impact has. A lot of Filipinos think that having a white complexion will make them beautiful/attractive.
@@honeybee-bw7iz it's also because of colonization in which the beauty standards is meztizo also if you're mestizo you have wealth and power unlike if you're moreno you're poor or farmer.Also native filipinos back then were discriminted,enslaved etc. that's why we developed inferiority complex
luckily though, more Filipinos were starting to embrace their Filipino beauty and skin color. Nowadays, "kayumanggi" is considered ideal color is some Filipinos.
@@J-R-2000 yes, and I hope it will continue until we fully embrace our own color.

Even in 1956, the Filipino guy was already aware avoiding to mention the politically incorrect word today "Negroes". Instead he just used "colored people" in order not to offend black people. Kudos to this guy. He's just amazing orator.
True. I agree. Amazed he didnt even mention negro while the othet 3 mentioned them.
👏🏻👏🏻
But negro means black. Nothing to be offended about it. The politically correct term "colored people" do not just mean black people.

@3:14 it was amazing to see how the filipino explains his prejudice towards the japanese because of the war so articulately and the japanese girl was like “yeah that’s understandable” and they both just laugh it off knowing full well how the other feels and that they’re the generation that would have to live with their history but not hate each other
agree
Nope,she didn't "said" that it's understandable,she laughed because it's an awkward situation and she just doesn't know how to react. It's what we call "nervous laugh or awkward laugh".
Us Japanese are taught from a young age to conceal our true emotions and thoughts if we feel they will cause conflict
Ikr
The Filipino young man was so eloquent and intelligent with his responses.
We need a followup of where his life went. I like to think someone who can articulate their thought so well and honestly even on such a sensitive subject would be very useful in many industries. A quick Google search says he passed a decade ago but worked in public relations, not surprised.
@@dedpoptart his daughter commented. See below. He passed away a few years ago but seemed to have lived a successful life.
I had to double take when he began to speak. He talks better than many native English speakers. I would love to know where that young man ended up in life.
He's fifteen and is speaking another language too.
Prejudice: judging before understanding. Sympathy and compassion could help lower our implicit bias and latent prejudice to reach a system of equality and cooperation.
