@@oilcitybassguy 1. Nationality, place of birth and 'race' are all different things. 2. If simply being human and from planet earth is all that makes us who we are, I guess we all better stop asking people 'What do you do for a living?' or 'What kind of music do you like?'. In fact, because of the many possible modes of discrimination a highly sensitive person may understand any of this to be, let's all just shut the hell up for good, no more questions. 3. Different accents, languages, experiences and backgrounds are incredibly interesting to hear about. Showing an interest in other people is the opposite of believing you are superior to them. Plain 'I'm right all the time now everyone listen to me' - that is ignorant and NOT considering others are your equals. 4. If this is the kind of change you would like to see, please explain to me (and other readers) in detail, how it will be implemented, to what end, to what extent. You want to live in a world where people don't ask such questions. Tell me why. What does that world look like? I'm interested to know if you've ever asked a person what street they live on, constituency they vote in, part of the city they work in, university they studied at. I'm going to keep my head when all about me, are losing theirs and blaming it on me.
The question isn't a problem in and of itself. The issue is that the question you are asking is not the correct question. One should ask the person where their ethnic origin is. If you ask me where I am from, I am going to say London. But you may have been inquiring about my recent ethnic origins. However your question doesn't tell me that. 'Where are you from?' Is a question regarding one's birth place in the mind of the vast majority of people. The point is: If you want to know someone's ethnic origin, just ask their ethnic origin 😅 Or ask where their grandparents are from if you don't want to say the words "ethnic origins" for whatever reason.
@@fairshareofdrownedsouls why is this so hard to get?? Guys forgive me for the frustration here. Surely it should be quite self explanatory. When I ask this question (like I did to my husband, only as an example) I was asking where he was FROM. He was FROM a different place. I was not asking about his ethnicity. I'm uninterested in ethnicity. I'm interested in WHO a person is, what culture they're from. What things they may know that I don't. How on earth did we get to the point where that requires an explanation? Each time I have lived abroad for a time period, I got asked where I was from. It's a normal question. If I meet someone who is clearly from London or some other UK city, because you can hear these things in someone's accent, even if it's not the same as your own British accent, then obviously I don't ask them. I get that this video was depicting something different. However, there are many people who are taking this (justified) complaint as a means of being offended by any time the question is posed, often on someone else's behalf. If they truly believe someone has grown up in a different country (and that person has) there is no need for the synthetic anger in 'defence' of this person's integrity. As I tried to make clear, and obviously failed to do so, so apologies, I'm arguing that racists have now ruined this question by doing what the guy does in the video. There's that, and then there's genuine inquiry. Does that make sense? Xxx

You see, I'm a white man with eastern European ethnicity living in western Europe.

So I personally don't think it's an issue in those cases and that approach should be more normalized.

@@NothingHumanisAlientoMe Your opinion is just as valid as mine and I'm glad that we as Scots we share our opinion. Even if we disagree. I still respect you.
I live in East London (and ethnically Pakistani/desi/ South Asian). One day, I was having a nice fry up brekkie in the local cafe. This random man (with a strong Scottish accent) asked me, “so how far are you from home”. I reply, slightly bemused, “er about 10 minutes down the road”, to which he replies, “no, I mean originally”. I think I was left disconcerted and realised I didn’t even answer him! Only days later did I think of a witty comeback - “I’m born and bred here and more local than you. I’d suggest to go back to Scotland, but they’re probably glad to be shot of you”.
@Teletubby You don't have to even say hello back to a stranger much less tell them your ethnicity. Everyone can mind their business and go on with their day with no problems.
There lots of videos stereotyping black people,hell Vine was FULL of it. The moment you joke about white people though they demand you joke about another race because it makes them uncomfortable and yet minorities are just expected to be okay with being dunked on so much that we joke about ourselves but that's not good enough. White people I guess just aren't allowed to be made fun of because they're sacred beings? Get over yourself,holy shit.
People don't understand what nationality means. Like people in the US for instance. They go around asking eachother's nationality.😂 I'm over here having realized from a young age that we are United States American. And grown adults don't know that!
I feel like this can be a legitimate question anytime a person does not look like the indigenous people of that region. I'm white ,if i was in china and even if i spoke Mandarin it would be legitimate if someone asked "where are you really from?".
It can be but it depends on the situation. China has very few foreigners outside of certain cities so it’s completely reasonable for the sight of some other ethnicity to be worth asking about if they saw them. But that doesn’t apply to countries like the UK or the US were there are generations of people who aren’t white born and bred here, a brown person shouldn’t be a surprising concept to anyone in multicultural nations and if it is people need to exert the brain power to treat them like a human first rather than a curiosity.
I have a story of this and the person was so not cool with it in a way that I don't understand. I work with kids from Spain who go to London in the summer to learn English (basically taking care of them throughout their stay and making sure everything goes smoothly). One of the tourist guides for me and the kids was a multiracial woman. She was one of the most stunning people I had ever seen. No idea about her ethnicity, she looked like she had African descent, but also Nordic European and some East Asian, but again, I have no clue really. She briefly mentioned something about growing up mixed race and how it had been a struggle for her sometimes, so I guess the kids thought it was alright to ask. The kids asked her very respectfully where she was from. She replied from North London. The kids said that they meant about her family origins, where they were from ethnically, because they though she was so pretty. She said "I said I'm from London". I told the kids to let it go. Days later, one of the kids, who wasn't present the other time, asked her if she had family from Asia or Africa. She got upset and said "I am a Brit, from London". The kid told me that he just was interested because her family story was probably awesome and he wondered if she had been raised speaking different languages and whatnot. I don't understand why some mixed people are so against answering that, but she probably had her reasons.
It may sound like a good intention from your perspective, but you may want to put yourself in her shoes. She was born and raised a Londoner, yet some strangers keep questioning her about "where she is from", like she's a local curiosity, a zoo attraction, or like it's obvious she does not naturally belong there, simply because of her skin tone. Life is though enough, just respect her choice of not sharing what she doesn't feel like sharing at the moment, because ultimately her ethnic background is none of your business. Funnily, you sound confused because she didn't let you and a group of kids disrespect her boundaries. That's the issue.
@@SimplyDiana I'm sorry if my comment was insensitive. I would never ask anyone about their origins if they didn't share the story themselves. As you say, it's none of my business. But these were 13 year olds. It's normal for children to be curious. These kids went to a middle school full of blonde blue eyes kids in London for that time and they were themselves asked about their black hair and brown eyes, typical where we're from. It would be exaggerated for me to reprimand the local kids for pointing out our features. It's just kids asking questions and we looked different to them If it's adults, I completely agree with everything you say
@@SimplyDiana Could've just given a blanket short answer, like "part nigerian, part-chinese" or something like that. You can't blame other people for your parents' mistake of race mixing and putting you out in an area with predominantly similar looking people. Heck, it's like naming your child "Doodoofarthead McCock" and being surprised that people react to that accordingly. Enough with self-pity and faux moralising.

@@danilolovic5431 I love India and France and am proud to be Indian and French by descent. However, the insinuation that I'm not Irish is annoying AF. If they say originally, they're not being racist just ignorant and that's all right. People can learn. But if they say *really* they're saying that I'm not actually Irish and I'm having none of that
I usually answer like this. Not because I don't understand what they mean but because I don't want to explain my family tree and my ancestry to random people who I don't even know. Some people even stop me in the street or ar the supermarket to ask me that. And the few times I finally answer they will tell me about their holidays in Senegal (my parents are from Comoros in East Africa) 🙄. I get it : they just want to know why I am black and live in France. And btw the fact that I was born and raised in France says more about who I am than a country that I only visit for holidays.
I would genuinely like to know how to ask a persons heritage without causing offence or seeming insensitive…..I’d hope such a question could lead to a better understanding of my new acquaintances life experience and who they really are - I’m afraid I couldn’t say I’m more than British with perhaps some Scottish in my genes, but that also seems like a talking point!!
I honestly don't think anyone should ever be offended by this question. I live in africa and if I met a white person or any other rare to see ethnicity in my country I'd be curious to know where they from, it's also a good conversation starter
Felt this. Im mixed and people have constantly bothered me with the “what are you?” As if I was some weird alien. When I told some my ethnicity they would say “which do you identify more with” like???
Or France because you know, Normans. The Cornish are proper britons and even the Irish have more claim than English people without mentioned ethnicity which makes the EDL more ironic 😂
@@blade5896 not entirely. True. After the Anglo-Saxon invasion many Breton Celts from England fled as refugees to Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Galicia
It's the same thing in Canada, supposed non-racist whites, yet the 1st they ask is about your race, ethnicity, nationality, so they can label you and apply all the stereotypes associated.
What's funny is where my Dad is Anglo Indian, me answering with I'm British and saying my Dad from India is British is true, since his ancestors are white British. As far as my Mum though they've got me, she considers herself British but she wasn't born here either. But even that is a similar situation, she's descended from the British Colonial Era of her country, so her family have English names.
White guy here. People asking these questions are not doing it out of a sense of racism or problems with ethnicity. We are interested in your culture and would like to know more about where your family is from. So yes, while you and your parents may have known only London, you will have still inherited cultural norms and values from your country of heritage. Be proud of where you're "from". Not talking about it makes us assumed you're ashamed. England is a land of immigrants. We've been invaded and settled countless times. We don't care that you're an immigrant. We are just interested where you're from. Peace.
I see what you are saying and i see that you are standing for most people. Most of the time i get a question like "where are you from?" and i say New York, some just say "oh cool" and others say yeah but where are you really from? I dont know if its different in the U.S vs U.K. I imagine its not much difference because my parents lived in the U.K (England and Ireland) and said that people did the same.
I just ask where they got their beautiful accent from. And in return I get asked the same. I have a very thick East Tennessee twang full of southern words.
You get the same with white Eastern European’s, “coming here to steal our jobs”. I’ve learned to never take it personally and just accept it’s inevitable that’s how some people be. If people like that have more friends from “a different kind” they’ll become more comfortable and ultimately realise these differences we all have should not divide us. *Every* person needs to learn to compromise in order to get along, because these differences enrich our lives and makes them more unique and interesting. TLDR don’t be cunts but also don’t be too sensitive and take things personally. Listen and try to understand people you disagree with.

One side utterly obsessed about being the next Norway and the other ready to reclaim the British empire.
Both are fannies in my uneducated opinion.

This is brilliant 🤣 got me laughing. Instant subscript, thanks for the cheer up dude👍🏻
I found him today and I'm binging all of his videos 😂😂
This guy coming in like Ian Foot lol
Funny vid bro
i've never ben asked what's my nationality.. i've been asked "where are you from?".. even from other ethnicaly diverse people
"one of those azkabans" hahahaha
My guys work rate is levels. Loving these videos
I’ve got one of those Azkabans had me dying 😂👊
Side thing is like the friend zone... nothing more will come of it... ever 💯
This guy's bri'ish accent is so similar to captain price
How nice, yet so true.
I live in East London (and ethnically Pakistani/desi/ South Asian). One day, I was having a nice fry up brekkie in the local cafe. This random man (with a strong Scottish accent) asked me, “so how far are you from home”. I reply, slightly bemused, “er about 10 minutes down the road”, to which he replies, “no, I mean originally”. I think I was left disconcerted and realised I didn’t even answer him! Only days later did I think of a witty comeback - “I’m born and bred here and more local than you. I’d suggest to go back to Scotland, but they’re probably glad to be shot of you”.
@Teletubby You don't have to even say hello back to a stranger much less tell them your ethnicity. Everyone can mind their business and go on with their day with no problems.
@@Cindy99765 its called manners and politeness. Not that you'd know a damn thing about those...
@@CitrusMenace Did you even read the original post? You're the hypocritical one talking about politeness but swearing at strangers online.
Love the vids, do one on “when black people..” or “when your black friend..”
There lots of videos stereotyping black people,hell Vine was FULL of it. The moment you joke about white people though they demand you joke about another race because it makes them uncomfortable and yet minorities are just expected to be okay with being dunked on so much that we joke about ourselves but that's not good enough. White people I guess just aren't allowed to be made fun of because they're sacred beings? Get over yourself,holy shit.
He smiles like cap'n Proise , and sounds like him.
This is so true this happens on the daily
Yup that stereotype I always get that I’m a Pakistani even though I’m Indian 😐
Yup because in my school there are more Pakistanis than Indians but if u literally go anywhere else in the UK there are more Indians 😂😂
Loving the channel bro, takes me back to the goodness gracious me days🤣
If someone actually asked me this,This is what they would say
I don't know why I find the line "as I thought!" to be so funny.
Been binge watching your channel you’re so fucking funny!
When you realise that this happened with the Queen's assistant and some black lady at Buckingham Palace just like in December 2022 😂
People don't understand what nationality means. Like people in the US for instance. They go around asking eachother's nationality.😂 I'm over here having realized from a young age that we are United States American. And grown adults don't know that!
The end late 80s music always give me a chill vibe

“Whats you nash análit'ay?”
Where's Gary the Geezer really from though?!
Great Britain at its heart 🇬🇧
That accent sounds so much like the one Joe Weller puts on
I feel like this can be a legitimate question anytime a person does not look like the indigenous people of that region. I'm white ,if i was in china and even if i spoke Mandarin it would be legitimate if someone asked "where are you really from?".
It can be but it depends on the situation. China has very few foreigners outside of certain cities so it’s completely reasonable for the sight of some other ethnicity to be worth asking about if they saw them. But that doesn’t apply to countries like the UK or the US were there are generations of people who aren’t white born and bred here, a brown person shouldn’t be a surprising concept to anyone in multicultural nations and if it is people need to exert the brain power to treat them like a human first rather than a curiosity.
It’s rude to bother a stranger in any country.
I have a story of this and the person was so not cool with it in a way that I don't understand.
I work with kids from Spain who go to London in the summer to learn English (basically taking care of them throughout their stay and making sure everything goes smoothly). One of the tourist guides for me and the kids was a multiracial woman. She was one of the most stunning people I had ever seen. No idea about her ethnicity, she looked like she had African descent, but also Nordic European and some East Asian, but again, I have no clue really. She briefly mentioned something about growing up mixed race and how it had been a struggle for her sometimes, so I guess the kids thought it was alright to ask.
The kids asked her very respectfully where she was from. She replied from North London. The kids said that they meant about her family origins, where they were from ethnically, because they though she was so pretty. She said "I said I'm from London". I told the kids to let it go.
Days later, one of the kids, who wasn't present the other time, asked her if she had family from Asia or Africa. She got upset and said "I am a Brit, from London". The kid told me that he just was interested because her family story was probably awesome and he wondered if she had been raised speaking different languages and whatnot.
I don't understand why some mixed people are so against answering that, but she probably had her reasons.
It may sound like a good intention from your perspective, but you may want to put yourself in her shoes. She was born and raised a Londoner, yet some strangers keep questioning her about "where she is from", like she's a local curiosity, a zoo attraction, or like it's obvious she does not naturally belong there, simply because of her skin tone. Life is though enough, just respect her choice of not sharing what she doesn't feel like sharing at the moment, because ultimately her ethnic background is none of your business.
Funnily, you sound confused because she didn't let you and a group of kids disrespect her boundaries. That's the issue.
@@SimplyDiana I'm sorry if my comment was insensitive. I would never ask anyone about their origins if they didn't share the story themselves. As you say, it's none of my business. But these were 13 year olds. It's normal for children to be curious. These kids went to a middle school full of blonde blue eyes kids in London for that time and they were themselves asked about their black hair and brown eyes, typical where we're from. It would be exaggerated for me to reprimand the local kids for pointing out our features. It's just kids asking questions and we looked different to them
If it's adults, I completely agree with everything you say
@@SimplyDiana Could've just given a blanket short answer, like "part nigerian, part-chinese" or something like that. You can't blame other people for your parents' mistake of race mixing and putting you out in an area with predominantly similar looking people. Heck, it's like naming your child "Doodoofarthead McCock" and being surprised that people react to that accordingly. Enough with self-pity and faux moralising. Just put up with it and don't expect others to bend out of shape to accomodate your freak case.
With all due respect, of course.
Sincerely, moodblood.

Congratulations 11k keep elevating
This is funny, but sadly the reality and many people of this particular ethnicity are insulted too often
I usually answer like this. Not because I don't understand what they mean but because I don't want to explain my family tree and my ancestry to random people who I don't even know. Some people even stop me in the street or ar the supermarket to ask me that. And the few times I finally answer they will tell me about their holidays in Senegal (my parents are from Comoros in East Africa) 🙄. I get it : they just want to know why I am black and live in France. And btw the fact that I was born and raised in France says more about who I am than a country that I only visit for holidays.
Need more of gary mate
" Yeah Yeah i've got one of those Azkabans" IM ACTUALLY DYING OF LAUGHTER
Ok come on, you’re just being difficult now😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️. Nah but the second half is a madness☠️☠️

Your skits are perfect for a blue Monday. Thanks for the laugh. Keep it coming.😆😆😆
Soaking these videos up in the airport after getting a full body pat down, good job mate
I would genuinely like to know how to ask a persons heritage without causing offence or seeming insensitive…..I’d hope such a question could lead to a better understanding of my new acquaintances life experience and who they really are - I’m afraid I couldn’t say I’m more than British with perhaps some Scottish in my genes, but that also seems like a talking point!!
"What ethnicity are you?"
I honestly don't think anyone should ever be offended by this question. I live in africa and if I met a white person or any other rare to see ethnicity in my country I'd be curious to know where they from, it's also a good conversation starter
I hate getting asked this, nah mate but where ya from back then like....Wolverhampton mate.😆
Yam yam, I am yes am-ya
Ur vids are sick bro
Should of just asked where his grandparents and great grandparents were from
You know what? I’m gonna start returning the favor and use the same line of questioning 😂

the way he squints and opens his eyes at the camera cracks me up so hard
Azkabans 😂
Felt this. Im mixed and people have constantly bothered me with the “what are you?” As if I was some weird alien. When I told some my ethnicity they would say “which do you identify more with” like???
Don't worry the English are from Germany. The real Britons are welsh and Scottish 👍
Or France because you know, Normans. The Cornish are proper britons and even the Irish have more claim than English people without mentioned ethnicity which makes the EDL more ironic 😂
@@billyoneill7381 well the Normans are mixed Francien French and Scandinavian Vikings.
Scots came from Northern ireland, they not native to Britain
@@blade5896 not entirely. True. After the Anglo-Saxon invasion many Breton Celts from England fled as refugees to Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Galicia
@@lukethomeret-duran5273 and modern day Scots are descended from the Scotti who came from Northern Ireland. They’re not native to Britain
In the U.S., if you say a location within the states they usually follow up with "but where are you from from?" Lol
It's the same thing in Canada, supposed non-racist whites, yet the 1st they ask is about your race, ethnicity, nationality, so they can label you and apply all the stereotypes associated.

You're about as British as a onion Bhaji alright!!! 😂😂😂😂
Quality, sadly this still exists even more so now.
What's funny is where my Dad is Anglo Indian, me answering with I'm British and saying my Dad from India is British is true, since his ancestors are white British.
As far as my Mum though they've got me, she considers herself British but she wasn't born here either. But even that is a similar situation, she's descended from the British Colonial Era of her country, so her family have English names.
Saying my Lad want to collaborate ?

Watch out for those Azkabans. They’re dangerous!
Straight of the come fly with me! 😂😂
White guy here. People asking these questions are not doing it out of a sense of racism or problems with ethnicity. We are interested in your culture and would like to know more about where your family is from. So yes, while you and your parents may have known only London, you will have still inherited cultural norms and values from your country of heritage. Be proud of where you're "from". Not talking about it makes us assumed you're ashamed. England is a land of immigrants. We've been invaded and settled countless times. We don't care that you're an immigrant. We are just interested where you're from. Peace.
I see what you are saying and i see that you are standing for most people. Most of the time i get a question like "where are you from?" and i say New York, some just say "oh cool" and others say yeah but where are you really from? I dont know if its different in the U.S vs U.K. I imagine its not much difference because my parents lived in the U.K (England and Ireland) and said that people did the same.
I just ask where they got their beautiful accent from. And in return I get asked the same. I have a very thick East Tennessee twang full of southern words.
You get the same with white Eastern European’s, “coming here to steal our jobs”. I’ve learned to never take it personally and just accept it’s inevitable that’s how some people be.
If people like that have more friends from “a different kind” they’ll become more comfortable and ultimately realise these differences we all have should not divide us. *Every* person needs to learn to compromise in order to get along, because these differences enrich our lives and makes them more unique and interesting.
TLDR don’t be cunts but also don’t be too sensitive and take things personally. Listen and try to understand people you disagree with.
I like learning about peoples ancestory since i love culture
