Traditionally for the vast majority of the history of this country people like this wouldn't dare admit to black ancestry and give up white privilege in exchange for a hellish existence in poverty and subjected to terrorism.
@Demiclea Jewish is a white minority. Edit: I ran into this comment 2 years after posting it and since then, I have learned more. Jews aren't really white, as they have a lot of DNA from the middle east. Some of them may pass as white though, especially Ashekenazi Jews.
@diane9247 Nah Judaism is a religion, Jew in reality is meant to denote someone who descends from the lineage or tribe of Judah that is where the word was coined from. So in truth not every Israelite is a Jew. Now the term Jewish is just a new age term which is loosely associated with those who follow Judaism
brenda jackson I understand where he's coming from. He is black yet he appears white, that makes him racially fluid in truth. If tomorrow he decided to pass as white he could with no problem.
IWIN ITALL oh is that what he was saying...? I couldn't quite grasp what his segment was about because he brought up being Jewish as if Jews have a distinct skin color
Why do these people care about what they fucking look like. I’m southern Italian but look so dark that I could be a Arab. But I don’t care what race I am. People can call me white or Arab I can care less.
The reason this world is this way is because groups of people were and are systematically oppressed and their oppression was justified with diabolical doctrines. The world dose not have to be this way, it can change and it will.
This world was/is, a lie from the start. A playground for the multitude of egos expressing whatever can be conceived of from the good to the evil. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and the egos in their weakness hold onto false labels of differences, and the childlike games begins. A world of chaotic chaos. We can't change the world, but individuals can at least enlighten themselves to rise above the buffoonery.
Why do these people need to announce they are privlige ...what does that make other members of their family? Seriously...these people have issues...they want "Minority Privledge "...they want to check that box to get extra funding or the benefits of being a minority preference from an employer. It's so sad. I'm a quarter Asian...that box on applications wasnt made for me. I know she I am. If people see me as white...whatever
@@constancedenchy9801 They are not "announcing" anything. They are discussing racial issues in an interview. It's odd that anyone believes that there is some checkbox that gets extra privileges. Blacks and Latinos still have higher rates of unemployment and earn less than other groups. I have heard bosses say that Asians are smart, but are not real Americans, when denying them promotions.
HE IS NOT WHITE , HE IS TURKISH , AND USING THIS BULLSHIT AS MANY MUSLIMS AND MINORITY DO TO PROMOTE BULLSHIT , JUST TO GET AN APEASEMENT TREAMENT FROM THE LIBERALS ELITES TO PUSH BULLSIT PROPAGANDA
@Nathaniel Hall well yeah, if you're majority black you'd probably consider yourself black or at least a mixed black person (because you still are partially white)
@Nathaniel Hall I just say mixed black person; how come it’s only black +white that ask that? Afro Latinos just claim that. Blasians call themselves that and keep it moving. But only black +white prefer to just say black.

I am racially profiled as White when I'm Asian. I've even been hired to impersonate White celebrities and even more oddly, have had to straighten my curly hair to do so. The worst thing for me is what happened to me at work recently. I am a substitute so people don't know me well. My name is also ethnically ambiguous because it's common in Japan and in America as a White name. I was accused if being racially insensitive towards Asians. Obviously, she overheard my private conversation incorrectly. I then had to explain what I actually said and then had to have the awkward conversation of the fact that I was raised in an Asian household by a 100% Asian single parent who spoke English as a second language. The struggle I felt was regarding something that many say doesn't exist: reverse discrimination. It does exist because I get beat by both of ends of the racial stick. I complained to the head of the program and tomorrow, I was asked to call and a letter is being sent to me after she decided to conduct an investigation. My decision to speak out against a White person erroneously telling an Asian to not be racially insensitive against Asians may cost me my job. They do not want to recognize reverse discrimination, which happened to me when someone misheard my conversation, but they can get away with further marginalizing an Asian by mistakingly profiling me as a White supremacist. Someone has to do something about this insanity.
I didn't say that her race was Hispanic. I said that she LOOKS Hispanic. Basically, she doesn't look like a white European. Kapeesh! She was implying that she looked like a white European and has privilege. She doesn't. The rest of them can pass but not her.
Wiccan Witch serious question how is Hispanic not a race? When you fill out an application for a job the main races on there are black, white, asian, hispanic, Pacific Islander and other.
Latino/a is an ethnicity, not a race. There are white Latinos (Cameron Diaz, Vanna White), black Latinos (Carmelo Anthony, Arian Foster), indigenous Latinos, Asian Latinos (Stacey Chinn, Tatyana Ali, Tyson Beckford, Bruno Mars, and Kelis, all of whom have a black/mixed Latino parent and an Asian parent).
Veronica Johnson bro. then are you saying that the only races are black, white, indian, asian, native american???? what about ppl who are full latinx?? what do you call ppl that arent mixed with anything that are from that part of the world?? you can say “white-latinx” all you want but all that means is theyre mixed with white and latinx. so yeah maybe they look a little white cuz theyre mixed with white it doesnt mean they are fully white. tf is “white-latinx”/“black-latinx” you’re white AND latinx, you’re black AND latinx
Veronica Johnson race is bullshit that you idnetify based on looks. so if she looks latina then were just saying we can fucking see that shes probably latina. theres no need for ur clarification that you should put a dash between white-latina instead of just saying white and latina. ethnicity is where your ancestors probably came from..there is no “name” for an ethnicity. if your ancestors came from latinx countries then you say “my ancestors came from latinx countries” not “my ethnicity is latinx” just to make it more complicated for everyone. then anybody can say that shit. nationality is what country you are a citizen of. if i was born in africa im african thats not my ethnicity its my nationality. your skin cant be a country. your race cant be your ethnicity.
No. Ppl. I knew her personally. She's a shit person. I've been to her house. She took me to Angela Davis at WSU... She's not a meme. But she sure is confused and sad.
Emilee Gourdet maybe since I'm from South Florida I see many ethnic people that look like her. I would have thought Hispanic as well, but of course Hispanic is not a race.
chowder125 she doesn't look 100 percent white to me either. I thought she was going to say she passed for Latino. I know Latinos are mixed with a lot of racial backgrounds and huge genetic makeups. Maybe Peruvian, Puerto Rican, or Mexican.
I mean obviously. She has curly hair. She might’ve passed more with straight hair. She would totally pass for white in southern or even Western Europe, but most European-Americans are from northwestern Europe.
The thing I noticed growing up in Philadelphia, a city with a large black population, is that mixed race light skinned black people most of the time act the blackest, It's like they have something to prove. It must be an ego or acceptance thing, it's really strange!
Rose FabFour looking white means she doesn’t look like the race she is “passing” as, to me. Clearly it’s more than skin color that’s the point of this whole video. And she’s saying she gets away with white privilege, so clearly looking white is a thing.
As a mixed race person, being mixed is really emotionally exhausting. I’m tired of explaining myself and being told who I am and what I am. It’s so annoying and it pushes me away from both sides of my ethnicities.
gary Wilhelm I am mixed with black and white my skin is very white but I have “black features” like a bigger nose and curly hair stuff like that but my hair is light my eyes are light and my skin is light so people mistake me for white and I understand why but when they tell me that I wouldn’t be black because I am so light is kinda hurtful given my circumstances
gary Wilhelm haha thank you! But you seem like you would be very good mix many people like you turn out to be very good looking people because it’s balanced out well
Bob Duncan ..correct my friend; people are so ignorant, that is not even funny with all that technology we have nowadays (internet). People should know that race & ethnicity are two different things..smh.
As a non-american its weird to me that this kind of thing always goes one way, always away from white. There is never a half white american embracing both his heritages or identifing with the white one.
Because other than out of trauma nobody outside of white people want to be white and its as simple as that Let that sink in as to why, there's only a small handful of reasons why people pretend to be white
It’s likely due to not wanting to be associated with White Supremacy. Being associated with that moment is like putting a target on your back and hoping to stay in power, it’s pure insanity.
Donald Quinn you're calling someone a dumbass you idiot. Hispanic is an ETHNICITY NOT A RACE. You have some as dark as Amara La Negra, Sammy Sosa and some as white as Cameron Diaz. And some the "typical" hispanic look like J lo. Dumb ass.
Donald Quinn it's an ethnicity, you idiot. You said WHITE. so what the hell is WHITE. It's a RACE. MY black ass is latina, so kindly stfu. "The U.S. Census Bureau defines the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race" and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity." THANK. YOU.
Gigi, It is politics, religion and a distortion of facts. It is the miseducation of the minority by a minority who in fact control the resources of the world by greed, terrorism and fear in order to divide and conquer the ignorant of all races. It's tribalism plain and simple. Forget everything you've been taught and seek the real truth. You'll soon realize you've been deceived.
Jesus Vazquez She looks Arab/Mediterranean. Mexicans are Spanish after all, A Mediterranean people. Mediterranean people have a lot in common with Arabs. Arabs are Mediterranean
Ok. Why do people make this shit so hard. His father was obviously mixed race. This guy is more white European than black African genetically. He is not "passing" he is being what he is, which is a predominantly European heritage mixed race individual. If someone was 70% black and 30% white, but they only wanted to relate to and claim themselves as white, people would criticize them. So why the double standard when the situation is reversed?
I did think it was strange how the first guy identifies as a black man, as a white passing poc I don't think that's right. Even if we do have black heritage, we don't face the same discrimination as black people do. However, I think it's perfectly acceptable to identify as mixed even if you only look one race.
Episode Interactive Yes they are. But that is not his case. He is of predominantly European ancestry. This individual is still mixed race. Mixed is mixed regardless of whether dominant or recessive genes express more.
nellek970 Just because some people want to consider race a "social construct " does not mean that racism, culture, ethnicities and experiences are not real. If no one is black, than no one is white or Asian either! Try telling a Chinese person no one is Asian! But I disagree with the "social construct theory" and I believe there is nothing wrong with having racial classifications as long as no one is mistreated. Also there are plenty of pure black people in Africa. No one has time to argue percentages just because a person has 2% European ancestry they feel like they are not pure black. That is stupid and a waste of time. Someone who had a non black ancestor that entered their bloodline over 300 ago, is not the same as having two parents from distinct different races or ethnicities.
I’m a dark skin mixed race person. People think I’m just Black but it’s a lot more complex than that. My African great grandfather and my Chinese great grandmother fell in love with each other and that’s why I’m here ! A mixed race/multiracial folks have a very complex history. From appearing racially ambiguous to racially unambiguous and look mono-racial I think it’s important as Black appearing folks we look more inside of what brought us here rather than just take what society has made us be. Yes I’m Black but I’m not just Black 💗
I am Moroccan(tuareg) (ma) ,taino aboriginal and Cherokee aboriginal(pa) I have all my families documents,land, and hand me downs everything. But yet they just categorize us all as "black" "descendents of slaves" etc etc. My family were always here. It's funny when you can prove it too .there's no slavery anywhere in my history. Only war..my family traded across the u.s and traveled back and forth from Morocco to the u.s that's just the blood of my .iwaleda papas roots are old. I have met my great grandfather before he died he told me one thing that has always stuck with me "they're going to erase us if you let them" their writers. Always kept notes, receipts,laws bills, census,and everything well documented and kept. Neighbors even. Old business partners. It's insane. I solely believe that's where I get my hands from.. only if people knew a little bit more about ethnics and ethnicity look a little closer at people's eyes their hair their skin certain proteins producer in the facts that we see us you know curly or straight or curly or skinny people just need to understand more about genetics and I think that she will fade away, education but until then we'll all may be seen as white or black or yellow or whatever the case maybe and it's simply just something they've created for classes reasons. Creating a social hierarchy among the people makes them easier to control. Right?. But the amount of times I've been falsely identified her mistaken is hilarious and it's truly an annoyance sometimes as well. I've been mistaken for so many things. The amount of times I've heard "your black, but your like a different kind" 😊 is ridiculous."your voice doesnt match you" is another way of saying you don't sound black. It gets unless I can sit here name examples all day but bottom line is it really gets annoying and it's hard to understand the dude in the video honestly because you simply don't want to keep explaining something over and over and over again your whole life
@@dansmodacct There are no hard rules for how people of mixed backgrounds will look. I saw an article about a light-skinned Black woman who was married to a white man. Their first child was blond and blue-eyed with pale skin. Their second child had brown skin, darker than his mothers, and brown hair.
The question is not what you have identified 'as'. The question is have others identified you as a 'dish', or as a 'coffee cup', even though its always been a 'plastic bottle'? Have you considered purchasing an 'I recycle', T-shirt?
The last woman talked about being alienated from black people because she looks white. Well, that's not the only source of alienation. I am black and I look black, but because I am a dark-skinned female, I was rejected by black people (male & female). I went to school with a group of 7 black girls who all hung out together. I was excluded from the group all the way through elementary school because I was dark. Even my own brother liked to make fun of my darkness. So, yeah, I am alienated too. As an adult, I don't feel a part of black culture. Hard to feel part of a group that basically made fun of you your whole life. I don't feel like a part of anything. I'm just...me..living on this planet.
Debra Lawrence That is so horribly sad. I know that has made you a stronger person and you have learned to live with your own solidarity but to be outstited because you are DARKER than an ' average' black people is even more cruel than being racially profiled BECAUSE you are black. I find that even more inhumane.
Debra Lawrence Maybe one commenter on a thread was right. I am thinking about this too much right now. But that's something a lot of white people don't know or are supposed to regard as secret: Black people discriminate against people on the basis of how dark they are. Obviously, it's always wrong for anyone to discriminate on the baisis of skin tone.
The Hand Of course, I'm thinking about it because I'm seeing it. Everyone including, I think, a ground squirrel. Got another employee fired; however, the person was reinstated.

But what to the person fired was almost comical.

Well, all I can say if you are Black and White be proud of both and don't let someone say you are not White enough or Black enough because you know what's in your blood not them embrace it like Armor!
I’m black and I have black privilege! I have an amazing career, a nice home, I drive a nice car, I’m young, attractive, slim/athletic and brown skinned. Every race on this planet can be privileged. Being born white does not automatically mean privileged.
We need to be careful about imposing definitions on other people. The individual defines who he or she is, not society or anyone else. What matters most is you knowing who you are.
@@fernandovillegas1889 very true. and alot of Argentina people or other latinos think that because they have a lighter complexion or lighter hair color than other latinos it makes them white. As a white person i don't really understand why someone would want to be categorized as white so badly?? we get shamed for being white and people say we "age like raisins" and don't get me started on having "white privelage" so wtfok.
@Poder Vida The blonde argentians you are referring to are nazi germans who escaped from Europe after ww2. The population of Latin America had much more brown darker complexion before the spanish conquests of South America. South American indigenous people dont have blond hair or blue eyes. The blonds with blue eyes are settlers or descendants of settlers. Learn the difference and educate yourself.
Nah, she looks white to me like Lorde. I should know, I’m Latino. Most mixed-race Latinos in Latin-America would be offended to be called black or indigenous instead of white. Yeah, colorism is a bitch worldwide, but the US claims being a minority as trendy and cool. Also, Latinos are a cultural and linguistic ethnicity.
@Poder Vida who said white people didn't have dark hair tho ? and Italian people are considered white but throughout history they mixed with African people so they have this warmer complexion and more exotic features.
intelligent rock - the word exotic just means different to a certain country of the world. Everyone is exotic to some parts of the world, therefore having darker features in place like southern Europe is not very exotic.
@Poder Vida she doesn't look white even if I didnt know anything about here. Here phenotype is different than dark haired whites.. I can recognize Arabs 8 out of 10
winteriscoming Yes she doesn't look a typical white person. If she lived in Cali (Southern Cali, Central Valley) Texas, Atlanta, Mississippi or NY, People including myself would no doubt perceive her as Latino maybe Arabic. She has a large and heavy frame and her facial features are of an ethnic person, which is EXACTLY what she is!
I think it's b.s. us Latinos/Hispanics aren't considered a race bc we're not either or to anyone. White people sure as hell don't see us as white and there's some Latinos/Hispanics who do have black DNA. Like Dominicans or Puerto Ricans. And it's such a stupid thing to label us white just because we have a great great great great great great great great great great great great great great and so on and so on great grandparent who came from Spain
He does look white, but my eyes do see something else. That second person, the woman, she doesn’t look white, just because I have family members who look like her. Third lady totally looks white.
How I see them too. First guy, I would definitely guess he was mixed. The Arabic woman is only white if she is Southern European, but I would be guessing she was likely something else. Last lady I wouldn't pick up on it, but I believe her too. I myself have a father with a dark complexion, but take after my mother strongly. A lot of people see pale skin and blue eyes and don't pick up on the mixture. That's okay, but it's still part of my heritage that I connect to.
MsClarinut MsClarinut I think it’s pretty interesting how genes can express themselves. I can only ever see the different genes with facial features, since eye color isn’t always a clear indicator nor is really pale skin, but I know that a lot of people see skin color first and most. I have a few mixtures here and there, but people say I look like my mom, my grandmother says I look strongly like my dad lol
Grappige Mannetje Touché, I’m gonna go ahead and agree with you on that one, my definition of white was a bit different though, but it’s true. I just got schooled, thank you for that. 🍃
I wish this were a longer documentary. I'm from the deep south, Mississippi, to be exact, and we are used to seeing black people who are white-passing. Yes, colorism exists, but as black people, we know each other when we see each other. Regardless of what people think about the south and colorism, 95% of the time, we fully embrace each other. However, we all have a few people in our families that, if we didn't personally know them, we'd judge them as white on the street quite easily.
Well actually, it's the usual "destroy America from within" leftist and liberal types and those they have brainwashed into believing racism is a bigger mountain than it really is, who constantly are concerned with race in America. Everyone else is unbothered, uninterested, or don't mind and therefore get labeled as racists.
@@Jordan-mr7ki bruh 10% black don't make him black. The guy is white. He may have some black mixture but he's a white man for the most part. Get rid of that one drop rule mentality.

What's so strange about a white-passing mixed-Black person? The plaintiff, Homer Plessy, in the Supreme Court case Plessy v Ferguson that legalized segregation and Jim Crow apartheid had 7/8 European and 1/8 Black ancestry. Homer Plessy looked white it didn't matter. He was legally Black. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Plessy Similar, Maggie Walker, a very successful Black business woman was white passing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_L._Walker Race is a social construct.
This really shows how we treat skin color as an identifier and how much it can affect someone’s life. It’s just a phenotype like eye color. Society has been built to place too much value on thing like skin color to assume someone’s character.
So I don't wanna stereotype, but every passing person I have met has been pretentious about their status. Like they're always still glomming on to this underprivileged category, despite never having felt any of the downsides. They claim they WISH they looked darker, as though somehow the benefits of that cultural solidarity (I guess?) would somehow outweigh the detriments- and I have to think they do this precisely because they HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THOSE DETRIMENTS, and can't possibly understand how difficult experiencing them would be, in order to make that call in the first place. Maybe it's just that you only know you have met a passing person when they tell you ALL ABOUT IT. And so you don't know, when you've met a well-adjusted passing person, who's not super obsessive and pretentious about race. I imagine there is genuine difficulty in looking different from your family, but honestly the whole thing reeks of the ethos where a rich white person goes to therapist looking to psychoanalyze their dreams or complaining of how they got slightly less attention than they wanted as a child, as though that requires therapy. Like other people have real problems, sit down.
...I don't understand. I thought "white" and "black" simply referred to the colour of one's skin. If a person looks a specific skin colour, that should mean that they have that skin colour, and thus "are" the label associated with it, white or black.
Lexx Brown: You're right, we are all "human." But the idea that they are "two?" Wow that is offensive. Racist beyond belief. Black people and white people ALL are the same species, all Homo sapiens, and all human. The Caucasus region is an area where many who left Africa a million years ago became lighter, and those who interbred with them 80,000 years ago in the 2nd BIG migration also became lighter due to lowered intensity of sunlight (not temperature, LIGHT). Stop saying that only black people are human. ALL people are human. Cro-magnon man, the 80,000 years ago migrators, were human. DNA says we are the same species as they were.
Jillian Smith White people are the only ones who are racist beyond belief, get the f*ck out of here. It's always funny when people act extra shocked when it's white they feel are on the receiving end of racism. White people call black people monkeys basically on a daily basis, shouldn't that be racist beyond belief? Why is this one example what you think takes the cake? I understand how it comes off and I wouldn't agree with how he worded it. But technically Lexx is right to some degree. Because white people and other non-african descended people are partly another species which is the neanderthal. But due to atrocities and inhumane treatment during slavery we also have some level of non-human neanderthal dna. Anyways, stop being so racially biased and being overly offended about racism only when you think it's happening to white people. You haven't seen anything
Lexx Brown You'd be correct if a good amount of us weren't partly white as well. Ha ha. I doubt I personally have any neanderthal dna cause my white percentage is so low, but there are many black people who have some. Not so smart going around suggesting white people aren't human.
It's so ridiculous that we are even having these discussions. NONE OF US get to choose who we are or what we look like. We are all human beings. Race is a man-made concept solely with the purpose of dividing and grouping people. I think it's stupid as hell but I didn't make this world, I'm just living in it.
Sadly this is the world that we live in judging someone based on the color of their skin. A skin colour/shade they had no control over. They didn't go up to a grocery store and made a purchase or got it from a factory. Who are you to think that because your skin is lighter than mine means you are better than me. This type of behavior was taught and has been passed down generation to generation.
cmh We are not all treated like human beings however based upon what we look like which is why many people of color choose to pass themselves off as the favored phenotype, Caucasian. Many who are shaded are viewed as unintelligent, animals, lazy, criminally inclined or worse, in need of extermination. Its nice to hear folks dream of acceptance of all, but its not the reality on the groubd because people are yet lying about history.
Most people - also, simultaneously, very much unique. We'd all struggle to find somebody, outside of our own identical twin siblings, that's just like us. I think that when we approach the nature of identity from a position of curiosity about the story of how the individual came to be - racial prejudice pretty much dies. We should be curious because, even though we all have unique background long stories, our long stories are all interwoven to make up the story of humanity.
Kalergi plan, the Great European Replacement your ancestors stole. And they didn't build anything. The enslaved an entire race of people and made them build it and then took all the credit
But you also want to be accepted by the community or whatever other identity groups you identify with too. I get that, having been told I was not black enough. And I def can't pass. Lol
@@marquisemusings Whoever told you that might need some glasses lol. You're clearly Black phenotype wise or did they mean that you weren't fully black but said it in a bad way?
@Review Sam I guess very rarely that could happen but do you genuinely think that all white people do is just sit around in a dark room and have conversations about eugenics?
And now the West is invaded by Africa and other third world countries. Now we are getting colonized, and nobody of us Westerners living today had anything to do with it.
That's not what the left wants. They may want solidarity with all groups that are not white ,yes, to team up against the whites. They hate whites. They don't consider whites humans, but snow people, cave people.
That is the dumbest thing you can say clearly race still plays s big role globally just listening to these statement should tell you that The only place that statement works is on Star trek
Have you not seen the amount of discrimination against the straight white christian male because he is a racist? Or the thought that all Mexicans are illegal drug dealers, or that Blacks cannot be racist or that Asians are the smartest? Racism is a thing. Some are true, The KKK are white and Christian, There is a lot of drug dealings happening around the border. Amir, someone I know, sometimes uses racial slurs jokingly offensively, and I myself an intelligent Asian is openly accepted? We cannot change the past, but we can joke about it. When you tell racist people dont be racist, they ain't gonna listen. The only way to be together is to joke and laugh about our current issues, mock our problems in society. Because laughter is happiness and happiness is a universal thing that shows we are human. We may not be racist, but some societies in the world are. Some people cannot change. I'm just telling you to laugh about it. Race is an issue, and we gotta fight by not fighting. But by laughing.
TheGod Of Yt so i appreciate the educated long logical reply and do not feel attacked in anyway but seriously If you want to drop race you can view it had ethnic mixture she looks to be of multiple ethnic groups and racial groups her appearance does and she probably is. My point being to label her Black or white doesn’t make sense. She’s mixed
I’m aware there are mainly 4 races And over the years it’s become less accurate to classify someone as a certain race due to their appearance to say the African race is people of just dark skin wouldn’t make sense cause then you ask yourself are dark skin Indians African as well? Genetic differences are becoming less and less accurate due to the migration of people. Therefore These people in the video don’t look Just African or just Europeans and it’s evident that they aren’t considering how they explain that they have multiple ethnic backgrounds.
TheGod Of Yt Yeah definitely I mean I find it ridiculous when people associate just Arabs with Islam considering there are 1.8 billion Muslims and they surely isn’t 1.8 billion Arabs. That’s the beauty of Islam things like race, gender, status don’t contribute to value
Being of mixed ancestry myself, I have NO problem figuring out these people's ethnic heritage; plenty of my (mother's) extended family look like these guys.
cbenji07 but that's not the context of this video. These are not people masquerading as black like Rachel Dolezal is. Some of these people may not look black but they have a heritage. Well as long as they have legit heritages of both they can consider themselves whatever they prefer.
There are Asiatic communities that still have strong genetic ties to the African community. It's only when you move to the north is the mutation of their genes visible ... Just like the Europeans.

I myself am mixed and will proudly say both").......It's a process that has to learned after we become wired to accept society's color caste system of human value. The hierarchy of worth and value is reinforced by the disadvantages, abuse, neglect and negative messages the devalued get in their first formative years and the relative advantages, training, mental stimulation and positive reinforcement the monied, privileged class/race gets. A lot of negativity has to be unlearned and a process of catch-up has to be engaged in. As long as the most unaware and uneducated among us are having the most babies in the most disadvantaged of circumstances it's going to be a self perpetuating cycle of self defeat at this point.
I identify myself as a golden fish but I have always had human privileges just because I look like a human, have 4 limbs and walk on 2 feet and know how to talk. Thank you, now I can go back into the water and tell my fish friends who feel like humans to come by and take their place in the world.
I am Creole. Visually, i loon white, but my mother was "light skinneded" and daddy was Acadian. They had 5 kids. Two of us pass as white visually and the other three are obviously mixed. I sooooo identify with this. Yes, I get the benefits of white privilege, but I get the scorn of not being "black enough". It is such a fucked up situation to be resented by your family because people you don't even know perceive you as white. 😢
You no, a lot of people are giving this man hate who are obviously ignorant on genetic variations. For example, my Great Grandfather’s (who is still alive) mother was a black women and his father a white slave owner. His mother had no white blood, at least not from appearance, I recently saw pictures of her she was very dark skin with long curly black hair. My Great grandfather was white passing and had red hair, pale skin, and freckles. All these people saying he’s not a real black man based on his appearance are unbelievably ignorant about the diversity of blackness and maybe even black history in America, whether their black or not.
carraway84, yeah but you need to look at this is an African American perspective. Most African Americans are mixed, some more than others. So saying that would mean that basically there are no African Americans because they are mixed. So technically their not black.
White is beautiful Black is beautiful Yellow is beautiful Brown is beautiful Red is beautiful Mix is beautiful We are all beautiful stop making this complicated
Wow "privilege is awesome" Most passing people deny their true ancestry just so they dont have to deal with everyday issues based solely off their color. And then theres people like me who will never have the luxury. Colorism is real and i truly hate it. People question me and what i am when theres no question to be asked! Ps... 1st girl looked anything but white but I think her point was the less melanin the better. Meanwhile melanin is the root to all civilization ✊
Shantel Knox Colorism is definitely reversing slowly but surely with the #melanin #jealousofMymelanin #gotmelanin #melaninpoppin movement-not a fad. I have fair-skinned friends who wish they were brown or deep black... a few years ago that was unheard of. You see it in this instance and in instances where non-melinated people try to darken their skin or think it a compliment and that they are more beautiful when people say they are tanned and of course the presentation of more richly hued people in the media, etc...Give it a few years and all colors will be much more widely accepted. It's a good thing😏
@@michaelregis1015 so all African Americans that we call "black" are mixed race people. AAs are literally listed under multiracial ethnicities. White, black and native (which is asian). But why do we call them black? And mixed race is not its own racial identity. Its a state of being (that virtaully every black person of the Diapsora is), not a seperate catagory. And i like how you are gonna tell people they cant identify as what *is* a part of them. If someone is called black or asian or whatever, its still accurate because that is their lineage. This is basic commen sense and also basic definitions. Mixed race is not a race. Its has no set look and can look like anything and if it was everyone would be put in that category. And "mixed"isnt only between races. Someone who is Kenyan and Nigerian is Mixed. Someone who is Afro Puerto Rican and AA is mixed. Someone who is Japanese and Korean is mixed. Someone who is British and Russian is mixed. People who understand basic definitons, anthropology, and have common sense know this. Luckily thats most people.
Niki Bronson but I'm talking about people who share 50/50 (approximately). I think you can identify as both or possibly as the race you most look like that you are related to. But I see your point.
No duh so are all African American people and all people of the African Diaspora. All black people are, hell even some in Africa. (Like Africa has been around for a long time bud) Doesn't mean they aren't black. Thats pretty much what blackness. You have a very limited view om what being black means.
haneulk7789 are you serious?? Black people don’t need white people in order to be light skin. Light skin and biracial are totally different. My daughter is light skin. My entire family is black, her fathers family is black. He’s light skin, I’m dark brown and our daughter is high yellow. Black people come in various shade on their own not because of white dna
There was a time where being mixed race was less commonplace and most people precieve another based on appearance. This in itself isn't a bad thing depending on the context. For those who genuinely don't know and is not apparently obvious, don't jump straight to being on the defensive rather than introducing it in a receptive manner into the conversation. What origan you want to embrace is totally up to you. Never chose one side soley cause its easier but rather who you most connect with as your true being. I'm sure your parents at one time or another had to overcome some hardships of being an interracial couple. Your mother gave birth to you and kept you. The least you can do is proudly own up to both sides of who you are.
The US made race more important than life itself!
Traditionally for the vast majority of the history of this country people like this wouldn't dare admit to black ancestry and give up white privilege in exchange for a hellish existence in poverty and subjected to terrorism.

Why do these people care about what they fucking look like. I’m southern Italian but look so dark that I could be a Arab. But I don’t care what race I am. People can call me white or Arab I can care less.
Just watching this is disturbing- “I’m passing” - “Privileged “ why is the world this way.
The reason this world is this way is because groups of people were and are systematically oppressed and their oppression was justified with diabolical doctrines. The world dose not have to be this way, it can change and it will.
This world was/is, a lie from the start. A playground for the multitude of egos expressing whatever can be conceived of from the good to the evil. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and the egos in their weakness hold onto false labels of differences, and the childlike games begins. A world of chaotic chaos. We can't change the world, but individuals can at least enlighten themselves to rise above the buffoonery.
Why do these people need to announce they are privlige ...what does that make other members of their family? Seriously...these people have issues...they want "Minority Privledge "...they want to check that box to get extra funding or the benefits of being a minority preference from an employer. It's so sad.

@@constancedenchy9801 They are not "announcing" anything. They are discussing racial issues in an interview. It's odd that anyone believes that there is some checkbox that gets extra privileges.

I am racially profiled as White when I'm Asian. I've even been hired to impersonate White celebrities and even more oddly, have had to straighten my curly hair to do so. The worst thing for me is what happened to me at work recently. I am a substitute so people don't know me well. My name is also ethnically ambiguous because it's common in Japan and in America as a White name. I was accused if being racially insensitive towards Asians. Obviously, she overheard my private conversation incorrectly. I then had to explain what I actually said and then had to have the awkward conversation of the fact that I was raised in an Asian household by a 100% Asian single parent who spoke English as a second language. The struggle I felt was regarding something that many say doesn't exist: reverse discrimination. It does exist because I get beat by both of ends of the racial stick. I complained to the head of the program and tomorrow, I was asked to call and a letter is being sent to me after she decided to conduct an investigation. My decision to speak out against a White person erroneously telling an Asian to not be racially insensitive against Asians may cost me my job. They do not want to recognize reverse discrimination, which happened to me when someone misheard my conversation, but they can get away with further marginalizing an Asian by mistakingly profiling me as a White supremacist. Someone has to do something about this insanity.

Someone tell that girls she looks arab or Latina not white 🤣 that’s all in her mind she don’t look white who lie to her 🤣
Marixa Aburto . Right
Latino/a is an ethnicity, not a race. There are white Latinos (Cameron Diaz, Vanna White), black Latinos (Carmelo Anthony, Arian Foster), indigenous Latinos, Asian Latinos (Stacey Chinn, Tatyana Ali, Tyson Beckford, Bruno Mars, and Kelis, all of whom have a black/mixed Latino parent and an Asian parent).
Depending in where she was raised
Veronica Johnson bro. then are you saying that the only races are black, white, indian, asian, native american???? what about ppl who are full latinx?? what do you call ppl that arent mixed with anything that are from that part of the world?? you can say “white-latinx” all you want but all that means is theyre mixed with white and latinx. so yeah maybe they look a little white cuz theyre mixed with white it doesnt mean they are fully white. tf is “white-latinx”/“black-latinx” you’re white AND latinx, you’re black AND latinx
Veronica Johnson race is bullshit that you idnetify based on looks. so if she looks latina then were just saying we can fucking see that shes probably latina. theres no need for ur clarification that you should put a dash between white-latina instead of just saying white and latina. ethnicity is where your ancestors probably came from..there is no “name” for an ethnicity. if your ancestors came from latinx countries then you say “my ancestors came from latinx countries” not “my ethnicity is latinx” just to make it more complicated for everyone. then anybody can say that shit. nationality is what country you are a citizen of. if i was born in africa im african thats not my ethnicity its my nationality. your skin cant be a country. your race cant be your ethnicity.

If someone was 70% black and 30% white, but they only wanted to relate to and claim themselves as white, people would criticize them. So why the double standard when the situation is reversed?

I did think it was strange how the first guy identifies as a black man, as a white passing poc I don't think that's right. Even if we do have black heritage, we don't face the same discrimination as black people do. However, I think it's perfectly acceptable to identify as mixed even if you only look one race.
Episode Interactive Yes they are. But that is not his case. He is of predominantly European ancestry. This individual is still mixed race. Mixed is mixed regardless of whether dominant or recessive genes express more.
Ikr?
nellek970 Just because some people want to consider race a "social construct " does not mean that racism, culture, ethnicities and experiences are not real. If no one is black, than no one is white or Asian either! Try telling a Chinese person no one is Asian! But I disagree with the "social construct theory" and I believe there is nothing wrong with having racial classifications as long as no one is mistreated. Also there are plenty of pure black people in Africa. No one has time to argue percentages just because a person has 2% European ancestry they feel like they are not pure black. That is stupid and a waste of time. Someone who had a non black ancestor that entered their bloodline over 300 ago, is not the same as having two parents from distinct different races or ethnicities.

The last woman talked about being alienated from black people because she looks white. Well, that's not the only source of alienation. I am black and I look black, but because I am a dark-skinned female, I was rejected by black people (male & female). I went to school with a group of 7 black girls who all hung out together. I was excluded from the group all the way through elementary school because I was dark. Even my own brother liked to make fun of my darkness. So, yeah, I am alienated too.

Debra Lawrence Maybe one commenter on a thread was right. I am thinking about this too much right now.

@Poder Vida The blonde argentians you are referring to are nazi germans who escaped from Europe after ww2. The population of Latin America had much more brown darker complexion before the spanish conquests of South America. South American indigenous people dont have blond hair or blue eyes. The blonds with blue eyes are settlers or descendants of settlers. Learn the difference and educate yourself.

@Poder Vida who said white people didn't have dark hair tho ? and Italian people are considered white but throughout history they mixed with African people so they have this warmer complexion and more exotic features.
intelligent rock - the word exotic just means different to a certain country of the world. Everyone is exotic to some parts of the world, therefore having darker features in place like southern Europe is not very exotic.

Last lady I wouldn't pick up on it, but I believe her too. I myself have a father with a dark complexion, but take after my mother strongly. A lot of people see pale skin and blue eyes and don't pick up on the mixture. That's okay, but it's still part of my heritage that I connect to.
MsClarinut MsClarinut I think it’s pretty interesting how genes can express themselves. I can only ever see the different genes with facial features, since eye color isn’t always a clear indicator nor is really pale skin, but I know that a lot of people see skin color first and most.

I wish this were a longer documentary. I'm from the deep south, Mississippi, to be exact, and we are used to seeing black people who are white-passing. Yes, colorism exists, but as black people, we know each other when we see each other. Regardless of what people think about the south and colorism, 95% of the time, we fully embrace each other. However, we all have a few people in our families that, if we didn't personally know them, we'd judge them as white on the street quite easily.

Race is a social construct.
This really shows how we treat skin color as an identifier and how much it can affect someone’s life. It’s just a phenotype like eye color. Society has been built to place too much value on thing like skin color to assume someone’s character.

So I don't wanna stereotype, but every passing person I have met has been pretentious about their status. Like they're always still glomming on to this underprivileged category, despite never having felt any of the downsides. They claim they WISH they looked darker, as though somehow the benefits of that cultural solidarity (I guess?) would somehow outweigh the detriments- and I have to think they do this precisely because they HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THOSE DETRIMENTS, and can't possibly understand how difficult experiencing them would be, in order to make that call in the first place.
Maybe it's just that you only know you have met a passing person when they tell you ALL ABOUT IT. And so you don't know, when you've met a well-adjusted passing person, who's not super obsessive and pretentious about race. I imagine there is genuine difficulty in looking different from your family, but honestly the whole thing reeks of the ethos where a rich white person goes to therapist looking to psychoanalyze their dreams or complaining of how they got slightly less attention than they wanted as a child, as though that requires therapy. Like other people have real problems, sit down.
I really don't understand the point of this video
It's mainly about not judging people on outward appearances. It's important to realize that not everyone who looks white is white.
Its seeing both sides of America and showing just how different your experience in the US can be because of your race.
Daddy Government now why would you mention derogatory things about the Jews? You must be trolling..
...I don't understand. I thought "white" and "black" simply referred to the colour of one's skin. If a person looks a specific skin colour, that should mean that they have that skin colour, and thus "are" the label associated with it, white or black.

Lexx Brown: You're right, we are all "human." But the idea that they are "two?" Wow that is offensive. Racist beyond belief. Black people and white people ALL are the same species, all Homo sapiens, and all human. The Caucasus region is an area where many who left Africa a million years ago became lighter, and those who interbred with them 80,000 years ago in the 2nd BIG migration also became lighter due to lowered intensity of sunlight (not temperature, LIGHT). Stop saying that only black people are human. ALL people are human. Cro-magnon man, the 80,000 years ago migrators, were human. DNA says we are the same species as they were.
Jillian Smith
White people are the only ones who are racist beyond belief, get the f*ck out of here. It's always funny when people act extra shocked when it's white they feel are on the receiving end of racism. White people call black people monkeys basically on a daily basis, shouldn't that be racist beyond belief? Why is this one example what you think takes the cake? I understand how it comes off and I wouldn't agree with how he worded it. But technically Lexx is right to some degree. Because white people and other non-african descended people are partly another species which is the neanderthal. But due to atrocities and inhumane treatment during slavery we also have some level of non-human neanderthal dna. Anyways, stop being so racially biased and being overly offended about racism only when you think it's happening to white people. You haven't seen anything
Lexx Brown
You'd be correct if a good amount of us weren't partly white as well. Ha ha. I doubt I personally have any neanderthal dna cause my white percentage is so low, but there are many black people who have some. Not so smart going around suggesting white people aren't human.
It's so ridiculous that we are even having these discussions. NONE OF US get to choose who we are or what we look like. We are all human beings. Race is a man-made concept solely with the purpose of dividing and grouping people. I think it's stupid as hell but I didn't make this world, I'm just living in it.
YES!!! Thank you. I knew there were people out there who think and feel as I do. I scrolled down just to read this very comment.
cmh People need to be grouped, perhaps you don't know how this world works? Tribalism is human nature, you'd best get back to reality..
Sadly this is the world that we live in judging someone based on the color of their skin. A skin colour/shade they had no control over. They didn't go up to a grocery store and made a purchase or got it from a factory. Who are you to think that because your skin is lighter than mine means you are better than me. This type of behavior was taught and has been passed down generation to generation.
cmh We are not all treated like human beings however based upon what we look like which is why many people of color choose to pass themselves off as the favored phenotype, Caucasian. Many who are shaded are viewed as unintelligent, animals, lazy, criminally inclined or worse, in need of extermination. Its nice to hear folks dream of acceptance of all, but its not the reality on the groubd because people are yet lying about history.

Most people - also, simultaneously, very much unique. We'd all struggle to find somebody, outside of our own identical twin siblings, that's just like us.
I think that when we approach the nature of identity from a position of curiosity about the story of how the individual came to be - racial prejudice pretty much dies. We should be curious because, even though we all have unique background long stories, our long stories are all interwoven to make up the story of humanity.

Some are true, The KKK are white and Christian, There is a lot of drug dealings happening around the border. Amir, someone I know, sometimes uses racial slurs jokingly offensively, and I myself an intelligent Asian is openly accepted? We cannot change the past, but we can joke about it. When you tell racist people dont be racist, they ain't gonna listen. The only way to be together is to joke and laugh about our current issues, mock our problems in society. Because laughter is happiness and happiness is a universal thing that shows we are human. We may not be racist, but some societies in the world are. Some people cannot change. I'm just telling you to laugh about it. Race is an issue, and we gotta fight by not fighting. But by laughing.

("Be proud of who God made you to be regardless of how others may treat you.

The hierarchy of worth and value is reinforced by the disadvantages, abuse, neglect and negative messages the devalued get in their first formative years and the relative advantages, training, mental stimulation and positive reinforcement the monied, privileged class/race gets. A lot of negativity has to be unlearned and a process of catch-up has to be engaged in.

Mixed race isn't a race
Niki Bronson mixed race is a mixture of races so they should identify as just mixed race because they are not linked to any one individual race.
@@michaelregis1015 so all African Americans that we call "black" are mixed race people. AAs are literally listed under multiracial ethnicities. White, black and native (which is asian). But why do we call them black? And mixed race is not its own racial identity. Its a state of being (that virtaully every black person of the Diapsora is), not a seperate catagory. And i like how you are gonna tell people they cant identify as what *is* a part of them. If someone is called black or asian or whatever, its still accurate because that is their lineage. This is basic commen sense and also basic definitions. Mixed race is not a race. Its has no set look and can look like anything and if it was everyone would be put in that category. And "mixed"isnt only between races. Someone who is Kenyan and Nigerian is Mixed. Someone who is Afro Puerto Rican and AA is mixed. Someone who is Japanese and Korean is mixed. Someone who is British and Russian is mixed. People who understand basic definitons, anthropology, and have common sense know this. Luckily thats most people.

Niki Bronson but I'm talking about people who share 50/50 (approximately). I think you can identify as both or possibly as the race you most look like that you are related to. But I see your point.
You are MIXED.
No duh so are all African American people and all people of the African Diaspora. All black people are, hell even some in Africa. (Like Africa has been around for a long time bud) Doesn't mean they aren't black. Thats pretty much what blackness. You have a very limited view om what being black means.
Yeah I was getting ready to say that.
@@nikibronson133 Thank you so much for this information🤗💖👍💙😊
@@tiana8372 you are welcome 😊
haneulk7789 are you serious?? Black people don’t need white people in order to be light skin. Light skin and biracial are totally different. My daughter is light skin. My entire family is black, her fathers family is black. He’s light skin, I’m dark brown and our daughter is high yellow. Black people come in various shade on their own not because of white dna
There was a time where being mixed race was less commonplace and most people precieve another based on appearance. This in itself isn't a bad thing depending on the context. For those who genuinely don't know and is not apparently obvious, don't jump straight to being on the defensive rather than introducing it in a receptive manner into the conversation. What origan you want to embrace is totally up to you. Never chose one side soley cause its easier but rather who you most connect with as your true being. I'm sure your parents at one time or another had to overcome some hardships of being an interracial couple. Your mother gave birth to you and kept you. The least you can do is proudly own up to both sides of who you are.
There's never really been a time where being mixed race was less commonplace, nobody simply talked about it.
