Asian are often targeted for "cultural appropriation". This series is to explain that many races have similar element in their culture. Dreads, for example, have been around for thousands of years that it's impossible for any race to "own" them.
Braids is another point of contention. As many Asians style their hair with braids. There are constant accusations of cultural appropriation. Braids has been a part of Asian culture for thousands of years. Prior to that, remains of people dating back to even older times have revealed that they have been braiding their hair.
This series is to highlight not just the length of time Asians have been styling their hair with braids but also to highlight the different braid style Tibetans use. - Розваги
I am west asian my ancestors are siberians and we do 40 braids for hundreds and thousands of years. Who are the ones decide i can wear braids or not? Of course i can. That is absolutely insulting. People who don't have no idea about other cultures should stop and mind their own business tbh...
it is frustrating that Asians are so quick to apologize for other Asian wearing braids. braids have been worn for thousands of years. Asians have been wearing braids for thousands of years
I mean yeah man it would be so frustrating when someone accuses you of Ca without knowing a damn about your culture , they just think that they know everything when they're just being ignorant as hell, thinking that braids is only limited to one culture, like what 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
and to think "culture", by and large, cannot be owned by a single race
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture as a american who doesnt know there root ( I don't know what my race is) I apologize for the people who got accused of cultural appropriation even though it's their culture and their culture is so beautiful and so are their braid
@@bunnyoatmilk1315 i cannot speak for others but for me, apology is not necessary but appreciated. and i don't know you but i know your race, you belong to the HUMAN RACE. that's all that matters to me.
Cultures can be shared and appreciated. My mother in law gave me a kimono. Only Americans get triggered by wearing another cultures garments. Interesting video
I am from India. Never knew braid is consider private property by black people 😂😂 , hilarious 😂😂
I love everything you mentioned about reaching Nirvana. It sounds similar to Diné culture (Navajo). They believe in the sacred number 4. It has something to do with the levels of existence until one reaches heaven. So 0, 4, 8, and groups of two all goes back to duality.
everything you said sounds interesting. now i am searching about Dine culture.
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture look for the channel called Navajo Traditional Teachings. A Diné elder shares a lot of wisdom of his people.
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture some other interesting tribes are the Wampanoag (noted as one of the first tribes encountered by Europeans), Seminoles (banded tribes), and Ojibwe.
George Bonga African American married an Ojibwe woman and some of his descendants tell their stories here on UA-cam. He was a well known fur trader. The Bonga/Bongo name is also the name of an African Royal line. There is a series on Netflix that Jason Momoa plays in called Frontier. These Native peoples are featured and they have a Black character representing free black peoples involved in the fur trade business. After watching that I researched the true history behind the series. Very enlightening.
In buddhist statues from the Bisaya culture in Central Visayas and Northern Mindanao, the statues braid their hair, also Visayan men and women wore their hair long due to following Vajrayana Buddhism, aka Tibetan Buddhism. Unfortunately, due to the over emphasis of Tagalog hispanic culture in the Philippines, most Filipinos are not aware of the Visayan precolonial culture nor are they aware of the museums that house Visayan precolonial artifacts. They all know about the "ancestral gold" most of which still belonged to the Visayans of central Visayas and Northern Mindanao but that's about it.
i hope we get to know our own culture better
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture if you want to see precolonial bisaya cultural artifacts search up, "museo de balanghai" in Balanghai Hotel and Convention Center and "Butuan Caraga Heritage Museum" in cloud 9, some artifacts are being lent in these places. These artifacts have a lot of braided buddhist statues and precolonial figures. There's also the locally made Shiva/Mahakala from Cebu, it got lost in WW2 but at least we have photos of it, it shows a top knot with braids. we have a lot of words for braid, it's salapid; sinapid; lubid; sapid; tabid. No one culture has a monopoly on braids, we Asians have been wearing braids long before America even existed.
this is in Butuan?
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture yes, Museo de Balanghai is in Butuan, but the Butuan Caraga heritage museum is in Antipolo City. if you search up these museum's names on youtube I am sure you'll find videos of what inside these two museums.
I hate rulerships dictating things like hairstyles. Hair does contain DNA and people do use it in rituals so protecting lost hairs is understandable.
I grew up in america and always felt weird getting my hair braided or the braided wigs being put on my head because people would telling me that I shouldn't be wearing my hair that way or that I was appropriating black people and basically shamed for it.
As I got older I cared less and had more fun with my hair and expressed it how ever i wanted but it took a long time for me to be comfortable with my hair.
Why did you use a photo of someone who has box braids while talking about tibetan braids which are braided different
I knew about the belief that you shouldn't cut your hair (mostly out of respect for yourself and your family if I'm not mistaken please correct me if I am) but how does the traditional (somewhat stereotypical) Tibetan braided style worn by men during the Qing dynasty fits into it, I understand that the back hair is left untouched but everything in front of the ears is bald, is this part shaven or is it the result of traction alopecia (hair fall due to wearing the same style constantly) ,if it's shaven does it have a particular meaning or is it purely esthetic/commonly done and accepted as long as some hair is kept uncut?
Tibet came under the control of the Qing dynasty of China in 1720. Chinese enforced their culture and tradition (including hairstyle) to Tibetans. I am yet to find a credible research explaining how that Qing hairstyle started. However, a professor from Beijing told me that a popular theory is that the emperor who started it was half bald. So, he ordered all men to copy his hairstyle so no one is looks "better" than he does. I haven't found a research that supports that.
@asianentertainmentandculture that’s a made up history. Qing dynasty were the Manchu and they ruled chine directly was under Manchu ruled for over 300-400 years. Qing never had direct rule over TIBET. Qing followed the Tibetan Buddhism and tibetan culture. Tibetan didn’t copied any Qing dynasty hair style.
What slavery has to do with the braids? Braids represent 108 teachings of kan djur, the Tibetan holy book.
The types of braids black people usually wear originated from Africa and during the slavery era. Cornrows and box braids were used as "maps" to help slaves escape and certain knots or patterns in the hair would represent obstacles or safe places. Longer braids like dreads and longer box braids were used to hide things like seeds and tiny pieces of food so once slaves escaped, they could grow their own gardens and farms with the seeds braided into the hair.
I know some Tibetan monks who do my box braids - 108 always and they utter prayers and ask me to pray too as they braid my hair.
@@Gyarukittenzbraids existed in Africa long before the transatlantic slave trade. Braids in many African ethnic groups represented the status one had, fertility, caste, clan or where one was in the society and they carried a lot of meanings. Please do not reduce braids worn by Africans to slavery. It’s very dehumanizing , reductionist and ignorant. Also, it was not long dreadlocks which were used to hide stuff, it was the art of canerowing that was used to hide stuff during the transatlantic slave trade not locks. In fact, a lot of west Africans did not do locking some did , but there were many who did not. That is why in some parts of the Caribbean where locking was not a common practice, the arrival of Indian indentured labourers introduced some people to locking their hair as followed by Hindu holi men who brought this practice with them. Additionally, the rastafarians of Jamaica who are famed for the wearing of locks , early Rastafarian’s were converts to Hinduism and learned various practices from Indian people in Jamaica some of which locking and ganja (maijuana) was introduced.
I wonder if people in the comments who say braids can be worn by anyone keep that same energy to defend Black People with braids who are asked to leave school, leave the workplace, not get the job, drop from competition, etc. etc. just because of their braids
First of all, there are many Asian countries. In some Asian countries, Asian schools, companies, government offices, and institutions are WAY STRICTER in how they present themselves. Many Asian countries actually have the same hair type as Black people but they all have to follow the same hairstyles as required by these organizations. so, if you tell many Asians about your concern, they'd simply think you should follow the rules. tie it if the regulation says it has to be tied. straighten it if the regulations need to be straightened. Cover it if the regulations says it has to be covered. Asian priorities are different from Americans.
They have their own sets of problems and many (not all) Asian countries are living in poverty or at war. They have worse problems to deal with. Between keeping themselves alive and safe and defending themselves from other people telling them how to style their hair, they hardly have any spare time to do much else.
@@chipperspacek Yikes that you think forcing people to straighten their naturals curls is okay.
You remind me of those Japanese people who force Ainus with natural brown hair to dye their hair black and those Filipinos who make fun of Aetas' natural hair. A whole lot of yikes.
@@maeannengo4908 nice deflection. You realize you were too caught up with yourself to be expecting people from other countries with way more important problems to fight for your right to wear braids. So, you miscontextualize and misinterpret my response. nice try.
@@chipperspacek lol I'm an Asian living in Asia
no we don't but it is on our list! just after we stop the war in Myanmar, provide education to the 800 million children with no access to education, save the 46% of girls (children) who are being married off, provide access to 300 million Asian with no access to clean water, help the 1.2 billion with no adequate access to education, help the 425 million who are malnourished, women who are being raped, people being killed and the criminals don't get jailed... i am sure we can get these things straightened out pretty quick. after we get all these squared away, we will fight for your rights to braids.
