So true. I’m black british and it’s felt so much. It’s very hard to talk about with people who aren’t minorities because it is so passive. Some white people in the UK don’t see it or think you’re over-reacting because they look at America which is so overt and then look back here at home. Racism and colourism exists everywhere. This was well said 😍
Racism in the uk is minimal xenophobia is far far bigger and that comes from being an isolated island nation. I would say white british people would always side with someone who is black british over someone who is white polish every day of the week.
Peak Weimar India will surpass Europe within this century, already some of the wealthiest people in Britain are of South Asian descent. India is growing at a fast pace and the number of millionaires keeps increasing every day.
thats how its gotta be. a lot of people are scared to be honest because all they have is reputation and no skill. Dan has major skill so he can say things casually and he still gets work
It's not easy being black anywhere. Being black here in Brazil is quite challenging. Brazil was the destination of 40% of the total number of slaves brought to the Americas. Yet, racism is everywhere. Last country to abolish slavery in 1888. Our police kill more than any other and 61% of the victims are african brazilians. "Racism just.. it sucks really don’t it” Indeed, Daniel. Indeed.
Arthur Vaz Brazil had a higher volume of African slaves than the states actually and after the civil war many of the confederates fled to Brazil as well.
That's not really true. It's not only blacks who face racism. Anyone can face racism. When you go to France, a lot of people are more concerned with nationality, rather than race, and not even to a severe degree. If there is racism, it is usually against Arabs.The world doesn't revolve around blacks. And keep in mind, that you're still talking about the Americas, you did not mention another area.
Anyone here who thinks racism is ‘overdone’ or that they don’t really face it or should get over it, please just see the situation you are in. You think a black person discussing his personal experiences with race relations for A SINGLE MINUTE too much. You think it’s silly that he basically says racism sucks. Which it does. And you don’t want to give him the time of day to say that? He’s faced it, not you. If someone was in a natural disaster, or an abusive home, or suffered with debilitating health conditions, you wouldn’t tell them to shut up, it’s not a problem and to get over it. So how can you dismiss this?
"You think it’s silly that he basically says racism sucks" Thats one thing of a few things he said, he also said that racism is systemic which is an idea that's completely debunked over and over again. But thats all it takes to be called a racist nowadays, one dissenting opinion that goes against that narrative and you're some evil person. No wonder theres so many racists if thats all it takes to be one. And to clarify, racism does suck. I would give him all the time of day to say what he wants, doesnt mean i wont have an opinion about it. In fact im glad he's able to say what he wants, that's free speech in action.
JJ Alfred hey, I think that’s good then. I don’t mind people who say ‘I believe this is happening in society etc’ but I have a real issue with those in the comments which think this video has no place. I’ve also never seen ‘systematic’ to mean specifically law, I’ve always seen it as a constant disadvantage to black people that means they can never catch up to equality. In several areas (this is less prominent today than say ten years ago) there are systems in place and social norms that end up putting black people on an unequal playing field and a lot of white people (because they don’t notice) think it doesn’t exist. I just feel I can’t really speak for those experiences I have not had, and I have to have faith that they don’t lie about those experiences and trust that those issues exist.
Pittsburgh Bear The prison industrial system that has become repurposed slavery (see 13th documentary on Netflix), the War On Drugs which the CIA confirmed was initiated to target black communities and is still effecting to this day, segregation in the housing market intensified by gentrification, police brutality, job discrimination, I could go on and on, but it's gonna be easy to dismiss it if you don't experience it yourself, which you won't if you're not black. But you could literally talk to any black person about it and they'll go into their personal experiences for you, you just have to take the time and listen. Or you could just use Google
GoliathWarfare the prison system affects people actually convicted of crimes. There are way more blacks not in prison. You want to know how they got there? They didn't commit a crime. It really isn't that hard. War in Drugs, same thing. And you do realize that they "target" black communities because they are more likely to actually do those things. And don't you dare say something like, "well they can't help it," or, "it's because of their situation." That's true racism if you think they don't have the will power not to commit a crime. There is no "segregation" in the housing market. That comes down to wealth, which surprisingly, black people can a squire if they don't fall "victim" to the above. It's literally illegal to deny someone housing simply because of skin color. Police brutality isn't just a black issue. That's kinda racist if you don't think whites also have problems with individual cops. But that also not a "systematic" issue even if most of the black shootings were caused by racism(which they aren't). Most are because the person has a gun and/or is fighting officers. If you just comply and are taken to court, but you've done nothing wrong, you'll be released and probably given money if you sue for false imprisonment. Unless you happen to think that our entire justice department is racist too. But somehow, I don't doubt that you do. Job discrimation isn't "systematic."(you know like he talking about in the video) You're crazy if you believe 99.9% of employers are racist and that there aren't some whites out there facing the exact same thing. Even if it somehow is magically "systematic," if affects way less black people, even in their entire lifetimes, then you care to believe. "...which you wouldn't if you're not black." What a racist and assuming comment. In a single sentence you assume only blacks can experience racism, assume whites haven't, and (the biggest one) assume that because I disagree with what the person said, that I'm white. Oh you also assume that if I was, I couldn't possibly know what racism feels like. "But you could literally talk to any black person..." So if they don't agree with this, then what. I don't, what now? Am I not black anymore? What about all my friends that also don't believe this? Are they not black anymore? *Screw you if you don't think blacks can disagree with this.*
I wish I woke up tomorrow in a world with no hatred no racism and we all realised we are one and the world is beautiful what a fantastic tomorrow that would be
1. Absolutely adore Daniel Kaluuya - amazing actor! 2. This deserves more than a 1:06 minute video. 3. Daniel has full right to speak of America’s racism regardless of being a Brit. He’s working in America and I’m sure he has seen it first hand. 3b. Black men, women n children are murdered by police so often in America, that is fact, doesn’t have to be American to question that.
Pittsburgh Bear First, if someone commits a crime that doesn't mean they deserve to be shot meaning you can't justify their deaths for being criminals. Second, black people are several times more likely to die in police shootings than white people. Third, a policemen's job is to protect, and the actions of a few have put enough fear into the black community that they fear every encounter with them.
YoSmellLikePoop I don’t think they are saying they deserve to be killed on a moral scale, but that’s how the US seems to work unfortunately where if you slip up you are at risk of being killed. Plus it would help if less black people put themselves in stupid situations/ weren’t involved in as much crime/ weren’t involved in so much crime which then wrongly affects other black people who haven’t done anything wrong but are consequently treated cautiously.
You're a dumb loser who is too dumb to look at statistics, white people are killed more often per encounter with police and research shows that police are more likely to kill white people in the same situations.
monokhem you are right. Because police actually use police work when they interact with white people and have things like probable cause. For black people, just because they feel like it, they pull them over. Racial bias has led them to interact with black people more when statistics shows that their interactions with white people are way more fruitful in stopping crime or stopping someone committing a crime. It's just plan harassment.
If you don't at least sympathize with Kaluuya, then you've never felt the racial pyramid, and you've never felt that pyramid crush any glimmer of self esteem. I've been exactly there, where the only thing you can say is, "it sucks," because if you start getting into specifics, you'll fall apart.
strawberry nutella just because you haven't doesn't erase the fact that someone else has or will in their lifetime. We can't disqualify others experiences (I'm not saying that's what you've done) simply because we don't have a similar story. People have said that racism is a disease and compared it to someone having cancer, you wouldn't tell someone that they didn't have cancer because you've never had it. The only issue with that comparison is that racism is a man-made system and not a biological disease.
strawberry nutella if you've never felt it, then I'm happy for you, legitimately. But personally, I've been in a white majority country and my parents country, and the difference in my self image and self confidence is staggering.
monokhem - You are being racist towards Daniel Kaluuya. You are attacking his success due to the color of his skin. That's more insidious than a physical attack. In other words, you have not learned anything from your experience.
monokhem - You are right, nothing racist happened here. I too noticed that the video was a general discussion on racism. In the video the speaker was prompted to compare and contrast racism in the U.S.A and in the U.K.
He really explained it perfectly. Ethnic minorities at least have a chance in the US whereas in the UK racism is done very passive aggressively to the point you feel it but can't explain it and fend yourself.
@@Summiticsame here! That’s where I first encountered racism in the UK at university. Left the UK after that! Brits are a sneaky bunch. Could never live there again.
i think he's thinking about London, the rest of Britain is not London.... Outside the london bubble the racism gets less and less reserved... the whiter the city the less reserved the racism
And as someone who's from outside London, Londoners need to stop trying to force their wannabe usa gangsterism on the rest of Black Britons. There is more racism in London than outside of London they're just deluded with the population demographics.
The systemic entrenchment of racism is what separates the UK vs America. In the states your talent and ability can help you to break through racist barriers because there are so many avenues to success. That's why a Black British actor can be seen and accepted in America while not being taken serious in the UK. The UK doesn't accept people of color based on talent. In the UK your talent is not enough to get you pass racist barriers if you are a person of color. True fact!
thats false. Plenty people in the UK who are of colour are excelling. Nigerians and Indians earn more than whites in UK, plus in the Time 100 most influential people in the world, UK often has black British that have made the lists. the problem with why black Brits dont get film/tv roles, is the UK audience love to romanticise about the past and the heritage of Britain, thus focus on period dramas and medieval shit, a time before black people were in Britain for the most part, thus it becomes easy to whitewash them out of stuff as they want to be "historically accurate". Look how many Asians are in senior political positions in the UK they basically run the country
@@bjrnthebootybandit Indian people in the UK are doing well. But they are not considered to be English. In America you are American regardless of your ethnicity. And let's be honest, the reason why black and other people of color are not among the top actors and entertainers in the UK is because they are not fully accepted. Please don't pretend that people in England enjoy only period entertainment. That's not the case. Do you have any idea how many talented black Brits who relocated to America and we're embraced here? Are you also aware how nearly all of them have stated that their success could NEVER have occurred in England? Let's face it, England is a nice country but you guys have major racial insecurities. Ask Megan Markle.
The worst thing to do with someone who already has the preconceived notion that racism is a non-factor, or sexism is a non-factor, or discrimination of any kind is a non-factor, is to indulge them in conversation. You will not change the mind of someone who has already been lied to for so long. Divert them to the academic classroom, or public classroom where intellectuals and subject area experts teach and dissect the matter.
As a black guy who has lived in three continents and has met people from all around the world, Americans are the most tolerant and open people I've met. The problem in the U.S. is that it's people are't tolerant of each other.
Yes, because that is the goal of our government. We open our borders and bring people to our country. But they also constantly bring up race relations and divide us by political parties. The Democrats and Republicans really have the same ultimate agenda to divide the people so that we will not overthrow the government.
I have several questions, W Magazine, about this interview: Why is it only a minute long? Where is the longer version? How come you never ask any other actor, or specifically caucasian actors, about racism? Every other actor has had videos over 5 minutes long talking about random inconsequential things, or sometimes about their careers, so where is THAT video of Daniel Kaluuya?
I studied in London for quite a long time & worked in a pub near tower bridge where most of the customers were tourists. One thing i can tell you for sure Americans are more racist & rude than the English people. It is just my personal experience.
Lauren Told well as a Brit my self living in the south of America known to be very racist and homophobic yes I can agree that Americans have been more racist then in the Uk but I think that’s might be a south thing
@@ethanabelman2837 it’s not a south thing. It’s a nationwide thing, a systematic thing. Saying that it only happens in the south erases all the systematic racism that happens not just for black people but other minorities across America.
I feel like America is a country that's obsessed with race. I remember an interview on the Graham Norton show and Idris Elba (Brit) was there and Chris Rock (American). And every time Chris was talking he always made a distinction between black and white people, separating people based on their skin color. This is in no way an attack on Chris, this just shows how in America those race issues are alive and kicking. Especially with the current administration, hate just seems much more vocal. Of course there is racism everywhere, but yeah, more outspoken in America I guess.
Pretty sure Dare said the same thing as Kaluuya. He acknowledges that racism is everywhere but that it's more outspoken in America. So I don't see how you jumped to the conclusion that he's pretending it doesn't exist. Maybe try reading what people write. That helps. Communication. Communication. Communication.
Looking at this issue from a Scandinavian perspective, I'm bound to agree. For one thing, there is a very fluid sense of what it means to be Swedish, beyond having a social security number as a citizen. I don't even consider language a prerequisite. Racism is definitely a problem, but it's also not as overt and outspoken as in American culture. I generally believe people do try to not behave racist, and not just because there are anti-discrimination laws in place to stop the brunt of it. Sure, others complain about having to be PC, but who cares about their stupid, selfish, indifferent opinions to other people's suffering. They are a ageing, dying "race", and the future belongs to the younger, more diverse, generation anyway.
this must be a response to Samual L Jackson criticising him playing the lead in 'Get Out' Jackson said as he's Black British he doesn't understand the discrimination of being a Black American, which is depicted in 'Get Out'
I feel like I’m Europe every body who’s says oh we aren’t racist is white and nobody calls them out on their racism cuz they are white. I feel america has come a long way it’s not perfect at all but I feel like the best opportunities for everyone is in America
Bkrn and lived in England for 35 years , racism in the 70s, 80s and 90s was rampant. In America it will never be fixed because politics, power and money is involved. Shame
I never thought about why so many black artists came to America, I just thought that they were more talented, I didn't think that we actually had more roles.
Basically Daniel is saying that racism is worse in the UK because racism is more often used to prevent Blacks from achieving their career ambitions. And I've always said I don't care who likes or dislikes me just don't get in my way simply because you have a bias against me or other people for racist reasons.
The amount of denial in this comment section is exactly why he says it subtle. You are so in denial you don't even know when you are doing it. It's like Majorie in fat fighters completely oblivious. Look inward and stop projecting they asked him a question.
i had this english teacher and our current lesson was about argumentation so our teacher told us that we should have a debate then my teacher asked what topic should we discuss about. some suggested death penalty, gay marriage, etc. but one of my classmates said "are we allowed to use the n word?" but my teacher didn't quite understand him so he asked him to repeat his question and my classmate did. it took him many times to actually understand what the n word is and casually said "oh do you mean n****?" and the whole class went silent. i remember everyone stopped smiling like literally everyone stopped smiling even the boys went quiet. my boy classmates were the most annoying humans in the world but they NEVER EVER said the n word. even they knew saying that word crosses the line so how come my teacher can just casually say that word? he was not really my favorite teacher. he was no one's favorite tbh literally all my classmates hated him. plus, he's homophobic which just adds my hatred for him.
Good for him. Still disappointed in Samuel L. Jackson criticizing him for being cast in Get Out. Come on. He played that role to perfection and deserved that Oscar nom.
It's sad because some people don't have anything in this world BUT racism, so it's like im poor as phuck but at least im not mexican or black and so they clinch on to racism cause it's all they have left to be proud of. This is why when i saw a poor white guy who had thy attitude of " i have more things to worry about then your skin color" it truly touched my heart and as a black man i made a dangerous decision to let him sleep in my car cause it was cold out. His name is kenny and granted it was only for a few days it was better then the rest of the world who seemed like he was invisible. His brother is helping him out now and my wife brings him food. The sooner we replace black/white with good/bad people the better off will all be because the true enemy is the corrupted politics 1% elites that seek to exploit for personal gain and enslave us all.....
It sucks but it'll never die, it's unkillable sadly. I've moved on and just keep those types of people away from myself and try to get to tomorrow. One day at a time.
This ain’t the place to talk about spider punk. This is about a serious topic and y’all are coming here talking about some superhero instead of a problem that’s having real effects on peoples lives.
I was harrassed on a bus in London by a black man who was pissed off that my husband (the Brit; I'm American) was white. The man kept waving his knife at me and calling me a sellout. That's the most racist thing that's ever happened to me in the UK.
@Alfred Walthamstow Johnson Racism is in every country, more hidden in some countries than others tho, but it’s a global thing not just a UK or US thing. No matter where you go, you can’t escape it
Absolutely spot on! The UK Definitely still has a racism issue, it's definitely covert here in the UK. To name a few issues: we don't have many black Premier league managers, well one, the media continually identify crimes by the race or religion of that specific minority, often omitting it for native English people, and let's not even get into British Asians and sports.
its 2020, I dont feel that much racism in London at all. When i was a kid maybe, but the UK is very multicultural and multiculuralism is more engrained here than in the US. The only racism we have now is towards immigrants. But its justified.
I don't deny there's racism everywhere but in the US is just ridiculous; and it's from BOTH sides despite what the PC culture wants it to make it look like. This is, because in the USA the black-white construct is heavily imposed; I would even argue, that right now, even though there are still white racists, it is even more pronounce on black people that do tend to self segregate. In my country Colombia, there's some racism I won't deny it; but, what I love about my country is that we think about ourselves as Colombians first and foremost; diversity is just an additional asset we proudly embrace and most of us, do not even think in terms of race, or any sort of segregation.
Esta es la diferencia entre latinoamérica y Estados unidos, soy brasileño aqui infelizmente hay mucho racismo pero aqui la mayoria no da importancia para el color del piél, saludos hermanos 🇧🇷🇨🇴
He's always got that "get out" look. Like....it never leaves his face xD. I think he's in the history books now. People will forever know him as "the get out guy" (Chris) no matter what film/show he does. It's like if you saw Williams Shatner on a show that's not TOS, everyone would scream "Ayyyyye, that's Captain Kirk!".
There’s more media in the US and a higher chance for you to be successful. That’s why a lot immigrants come to America, it’s the land of opportunity. America does have racism but immigrants usually focus on the opportunity it provides and safety rather than its other issues like racism compared to the reasons why the leave their own countries (gangs, war, poverty,etc)
Having grown up in the U.K. as a foreigner in a very multicultural school, I felt nothing nor experienced anything close to racism. I’m not sure if it really is true or whether self victimisation has become an obstacles toward progress. This is, for example, a very non racist opinion, at least for me, yet might be categorised as extreme- due to over sensitivity...
I love how British black people don't hold back. Him and John Boyega are my favorite for that reason, they don't cover anything up to appease anyone , they tell the truth and I love them both.
They’re not confused. Racism takes a lot of different forms, and some forms have nothing to do with hatred or xenophobia, but inherent biases that a lot of people don’t recognize in themselves. That has implications for job prospects, housing, education etc..
When will "Black" actors and actresses stop responding to questions about racism. This is not a 'let's discuss this and bring awareness' practice, this is sophisticated way of putting you mentally into a state of negative emotion and feelings and energy. I mean you go to discuss your flowering career and someone wants to change the topic to miserable stuff. People really need to study and understand psychology and quit engaging in these stupid questions. It's no different than the ridiculous when did you loose your virginity question that used to be forced on every young and upcoming entertainer back in the day.
I couldn't disagree more, especially at this time when 'Trumps' America seems to be opening a ever widening chasm between people. Artists like it or not are powerful messengers heard by many. To say don't broach a subject on race, politics, me too or whatever just seems ridiculous. Only talk about your art and have no political or social commentary! Governments would love you as the arts minister!
+ckzckw Yeah. The race narrative is about creating a type of feudalism of the mind. i.e. turning otherwise independent human beings with potential into quasi-serfs. Stepchildren looking for "white" approval or the elusive "non-racism". Being that most human beings are individuals who live, make choices and engage with who they choose, this narrative suggests that people cannot be happy and complete until the supposed attitudes of other people that have nothing to do with them "change". An abstraction which would not change your personal life one way or the other.(nor solve socio-economics!) No one would suggest that white segments of the population should feel entrapped by black resentments until every last black person holds positive views towards them. (There's a reason why this stuff is primarily pushed by white establishment types!)
To be honest as a black man...we can go two ways with this...we can keep standing on a soap box saying blah , blah, blah...or we can FOGET about the PAST and just GET ON with it; but we CAN'T have both...so let's choose...
If people started saying: 'people have done X precise thing to me.....and it made me feel Y because of Z'. And then made clear how often such things have happened in their lives...people would stop questioning whether the racism that is spoken about isn't real. Almost everyone would be 100% behind reasonable measures to improve those situations. Unfortunately its almost always vague, broad statements- saying 'you don't see it but you feel it' is just not good enough. Sorry.
c'mon W magazine, step your game up with closed captions/subtitles. I feel utterly disappointed that not all of your videos are subtitled before release. bloody hell.
"O mankind! We have created you out of a male and a female, and We have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you may recognise (and do good to) one another.

In America black people are being bitten with a growl.(Wolf) In Britian they are being bitten with a smile.(Fox) The wolf and the fox both have the same appetite but they display different methods.

The duration may have depended on the quality of the ingredients.

"Racism just sucks across the board...no matter how it comes out it's kind of f*cking sh*t."
What more needs to be said?
It's more impactful the shorter it was. I can actually recite what he said.
So true. I’m black british and it’s felt so much. It’s very hard to talk about with people who aren’t minorities because it is so passive. Some white people in the UK don’t see it or think you’re over-reacting because they look at America which is so overt and then look back here at home.
Racism and colourism exists everywhere.
This was well said 😍
its called paranoia.
Racism in the uk is minimal xenophobia is far far bigger and that comes from being an isolated island nation. I would say white british people would always side with someone who is black british over someone who is white polish every day of the week.
I can see england being that way.... I think Europe is that way in general tho, being honest.
@Finn The class system is more structured around race in America, that's part of the problem.
Peak Weimar India will surpass Europe within this century, already some of the wealthiest people in Britain are of South Asian descent. India is growing at a fast pace and the number of millionaires keeps increasing every day.

Police brutality isn't just a black issue. That's kinda racist if you don't think whites also have problems with individual cops. But that also not a "systematic" issue even if most of the black shootings were caused by racism(which they aren't). Most are because the person has a gun and/or is fighting officers. If you just comply and are taken to court, but you've done nothing wrong, you'll be released and probably given money if you sue for false imprisonment. Unless you happen to think that our entire justice department is racist too. But somehow, I don't doubt that you do.
Job discrimation isn't "systematic."(you know like he talking about in the video) You're crazy if you believe 99.9% of employers are racist and that there aren't some whites out there facing the exact same thing. Even if it somehow is magically "systematic," if affects way less black people, even in their entire lifetimes, then you care to believe.
"...which you wouldn't if you're not black." What a racist and assuming comment. In a single sentence you assume only blacks can experience racism, assume whites haven't, and (the biggest one) assume that because I disagree with what the person said, that I'm white. Oh you also assume that if I was, I couldn't possibly know what racism feels like.
"But you could literally talk to any black person..." So if they don't agree with this, then what. I don't, what now? Am I not black anymore? What about all my friends that also don't believe this? Are they not black anymore?
*Screw you if you don't think blacks can disagree with this.*
I wish I woke up tomorrow in a world with no hatred no racism and we all realised we are one and the world is beautiful what a fantastic tomorrow that would be
Sad to say it may start all over again when someone seeks to gain an advantage.
We need a clean slate? WW3 anyone?
white boi goes up front I'll be in the back defending ya! 😂😂
unfortunately that's not gonna happen anytime soon :(
I know Frank Sammut. Great guy.
1. Absolutely adore Daniel Kaluuya - amazing actor!
2. This deserves more than a 1:06 minute video.
3. Daniel has full right to speak of America’s racism regardless of being a Brit. He’s working in America and I’m sure he has seen it first hand.
3b. Black men, women n children are murdered by police so often in America, that is fact, doesn’t have to be American to question that.
Pittsburgh Bear First, if someone commits a crime that doesn't mean they deserve to be shot meaning you can't justify their deaths for being criminals. Second, black people are several times more likely to die in police shootings than white people. Third, a policemen's job is to protect, and the actions of a few have put enough fear into the black community that they fear every encounter with them.
YoSmellLikePoop
I don’t think they are saying they deserve to be killed on a moral scale, but that’s how the US seems to work unfortunately where if you slip up you are at risk of being killed. Plus it would help if less black people put themselves in stupid situations/ weren’t involved in as much crime/ weren’t involved in so much crime which then wrongly affects other black people who haven’t done anything wrong but are consequently treated cautiously.
Now the evidence please, on 3b.
You're a dumb loser who is too dumb to look at statistics, white people are killed more often per encounter with police and research shows that police are more likely to kill white people in the same situations.
monokhem you are right. Because police actually use police work when they interact with white people and have things like probable cause. For black people, just because they feel like it, they pull them over. Racial bias has led them to interact with black people more when statistics shows that their interactions with white people are way more fruitful in stopping crime or stopping someone committing a crime. It's just plan harassment.
man like Daniel Kaluuya.
If you don't at least sympathize with Kaluuya, then you've never felt the racial pyramid, and you've never felt that pyramid crush any glimmer of self esteem. I've been exactly there, where the only thing you can say is, "it sucks," because if you start getting into specifics, you'll fall apart.
strawberry nutella just because you haven't doesn't erase the fact that someone else has or will in their lifetime. We can't disqualify others experiences (I'm not saying that's what you've done) simply because we don't have a similar story. People have said that racism is a disease and compared it to someone having cancer, you wouldn't tell someone that they didn't have cancer because you've never had it. The only issue with that comparison is that racism is a man-made system and not a biological disease.
strawberry nutella if you've never felt it, then I'm happy for you, legitimately. But personally, I've been in a white majority country and my parents country, and the difference in my self image and self confidence is staggering.
monokhem - You are being racist towards Daniel Kaluuya. You are attacking his success due to the color of his skin. That's more insidious than a physical attack. In other words, you have not learned anything from your experience.
monokhem - Racism has no victim? You need help.
monokhem - You are right, nothing racist happened here. I too noticed that the video was a general discussion on racism. In the video the speaker was prompted to compare and contrast racism in the U.S.A and in the U.K.
He really explained it perfectly. Ethnic minorities at least have a chance in the US whereas in the UK racism is done very passive aggressively to the point you feel it but can't explain it and fend yourself.
I witnessed racism within british universities in ways i never thought were possible !
@@Summitic what happened exactly?
What does that even mean
@@Summiticsame here! That’s where I first encountered racism in the UK at university. Left the UK after that! Brits are a sneaky bunch. Could never live there again.
i think he's thinking about London, the rest of Britain is not London.... Outside the london bubble the racism gets less and less reserved... the whiter the city the less reserved the racism
And as someone who's from outside London, Londoners need to stop trying to force their wannabe usa gangsterism on the rest of Black Britons. There is more racism in London than outside of London they're just deluded with the population demographics.
ckzckw more racism in London? I would think there is more racism outside of London in Britain, it may not be explicit, but it is there
thehoneyeffect I take it you don't know Birmingham then. The population there certainly doesn't become 'whiter'. It's a huge melting pot.
ckzckw there’s more racist outside of London compared to inside London..
SO TRUE!!
I love him. He's brilliant and a fantastic actor.
Big future
Magic Messi oh yes long and sucessful career
The systemic entrenchment of racism is what separates the UK vs America. In the states your talent and ability can help you to break through racist barriers because there are so many avenues to success. That's why a Black British actor can be seen and accepted in America while not being taken serious in the UK. The UK doesn't accept people of color based on talent. In the UK your talent is not enough to get you pass racist barriers if you are a person of color. True fact!
thats false. Plenty people in the UK who are of colour are excelling. Nigerians and Indians earn more than whites in UK, plus in the Time 100 most influential people in the world, UK often has black British that have made the lists. the problem with why black Brits dont get film/tv roles, is the UK audience love to romanticise about the past and the heritage of Britain, thus focus on period dramas and medieval shit, a time before black people were in Britain for the most part, thus it becomes easy to whitewash them out of stuff as they want to be "historically accurate". Look how many Asians are in senior political positions in the UK they basically run the country
@@bjrnthebootybandit
Indian people in the UK are doing well. But they are not considered to be English. In America you are American regardless of your ethnicity. And let's be honest, the reason why black and other people of color are not among the top actors and entertainers in the UK is because they are not fully accepted. Please don't pretend that people in England enjoy only period entertainment. That's not the case.
Do you have any idea how many talented black Brits who relocated to America and we're embraced here? Are you also aware how nearly all of them have stated that their success could NEVER have occurred in England? Let's face it, England is a nice country but you guys have major racial insecurities. Ask Megan Markle.
The worst thing to do with someone who already has the preconceived notion that racism is a non-factor, or sexism is a non-factor, or discrimination of any kind is a non-factor, is to indulge them in conversation. You will not change the mind of someone who has already been lied to for so long. Divert them to the academic classroom, or public classroom where intellectuals and subject area experts teach and dissect the matter.
Yes! If an adult is still ignorant concerning this subject.. it’s a choice. Looking at you, Kanye.
As a black Canadian, trust me...its felt here as well.
Posh Kenneth is doing well for himself
Christ it's actually scary looking at the skins cast how they've all become so successful
It's weird how they have all pushed through. Though, I suspect, minus two or three of them, they wanted it more than the proper trained lot.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a black guy who has lived in three continents and has met people from all around the world, Americans are the most tolerant and open people I've met. The problem in the U.S. is that it's people are't tolerant of each other.
Yes, because that is the goal of our government. We open our borders and bring people to our country. But they also constantly bring up race relations and divide us by political parties. The Democrats and Republicans really have the same ultimate agenda to divide the people so that we will not overthrow the government.
I have several questions, W Magazine, about this interview: Why is it only a minute long? Where is the longer version? How come you never ask any other actor, or specifically caucasian actors, about racism? Every other actor has had videos over 5 minutes long talking about random inconsequential things, or sometimes about their careers, so where is THAT video of Daniel Kaluuya?
People in Britain will discriminate against a Cockney accent. So basically EVERYONE not posh is screwed.
I studied in London for quite a long time & worked in a pub near tower bridge where most of the customers were tourists. One thing i can tell you for sure Americans are more racist & rude than the English people. It is just my personal experience.
Touhid, Americans i have met have never been in the slightest bit rude.
Very racist and entitled.
Lauren Told well as a Brit my self living in the south of America known to be very racist and homophobic yes I can agree that Americans have been more racist then in the Uk but I think that’s might be a south thing
@@ethanabelman2837 it’s not a south thing. It’s a nationwide thing, a systematic thing. Saying that it only happens in the south erases all the systematic racism that happens not just for black people but other minorities across America.
@Bashar Kwaik im glad you haven’t had to face that but that doesn’t mean that many don’t face discrimination.
This is spot on!!!!!
my man doesn't mince his words, he just gets to the point. respect
I feel like America is a country that's obsessed with race.
I remember an interview on the Graham Norton show and Idris Elba (Brit) was there and Chris Rock (American). And every time Chris was talking he always made a distinction between black and white people, separating people based on their skin color. This is in no way an attack on Chris, this just shows how in America those race issues are alive and kicking. Especially with the current administration, hate just seems much more vocal.
Of course there is racism everywhere, but yeah, more outspoken in America I guess.
I think it is due to our.... Shall we say complicated history regarding race.
Racism is a big deal in the UK if you ever really cared to ask people affected, rather than pretending it doesn't exist.
Pretty sure Dare said the same thing as Kaluuya. He acknowledges that racism is everywhere but that it's more outspoken in America. So I don't see how you jumped to the conclusion that he's pretending it doesn't exist. Maybe try reading what people write. That helps.
Communication. Communication. Communication.
Looking at this issue from a Scandinavian perspective, I'm bound to agree. For one thing, there is a very fluid sense of what it means to be Swedish, beyond having a social security number as a citizen. I don't even consider language a prerequisite. Racism is definitely a problem, but it's also not as overt and outspoken as in American culture. I generally believe people do try to not behave racist, and not just because there are anti-discrimination laws in place to stop the brunt of it. Sure, others complain about having to be PC, but who cares about their stupid, selfish, indifferent opinions to other people's suffering. They are a ageing, dying "race", and the future belongs to the younger, more diverse, generation anyway.
Dare - wait for it - Devil You’re right, and people in the UK just don’t seem to talk about racism as openly
To think I was in year 8 with this bloke. I’ve done nothing, but love this man
George williams i was in year 10 with bruce wayne
I thought Black British artists went to the US for the same reason anyone else would go to the US - a larger, more lucrative market.
BINGO!!!
This should have been a much longer interview as it’s such an important topic!
He's such a fantastic talent.
such a wise man and formidable actor
this must be a response to Samual L Jackson criticising him playing the lead in 'Get Out'
Jackson said as he's Black British he doesn't understand the discrimination of being a Black American, which is depicted in 'Get Out'
Wonderful delivery 💕
I feel like I’m Europe every body who’s says oh we aren’t racist is white and nobody calls them out on their racism cuz they are white. I feel america has come a long way it’s not perfect at all but I feel like the best opportunities for everyone is in America
Thank you for being so honest
Bkrn and lived in England for 35 years , racism in the 70s, 80s and 90s was rampant. In America it will never be fixed because politics, power and money is involved. Shame
A gentleman and a fabulous actor.
It's crazy because just a few weeks ago there was a racist march in Birmingham UK 🇬🇧
Sharky1325 wasn't that against terrorism and extremism? What was racist about it?
I never thought about why so many black artists came to America, I just thought that they were more talented, I didn't think that we actually had more roles.
Basically Daniel is saying that racism is worse in the UK because racism is more often used to prevent Blacks from achieving their career ambitions. And I've always said I don't care who likes or dislikes me just don't get in my way simply because you have a bias against me or other people for racist reasons.
Hobie speaking facts right now
The amount of denial in this comment section is exactly why he says it subtle. You are so in denial you don't even know when you are doing it. It's like Majorie in fat fighters completely oblivious. Look inward and stop projecting they asked him a question.
Good perspective to add.
this would be the most hobie thing to talk about
i had this english teacher and our current lesson was about argumentation so our teacher told us that we should have a debate then my teacher asked what topic should we discuss about. some suggested death penalty, gay marriage, etc. but one of my classmates said "are we allowed to use the n word?" but my teacher didn't quite understand him so he asked him to repeat his question and my classmate did. it took him many times to actually understand what the n word is and casually said "oh do you mean n****?" and the whole class went silent. i remember everyone stopped smiling like literally everyone stopped smiling even the boys went quiet. my boy classmates were the most annoying humans in the world but they NEVER EVER said the n word. even they knew saying that word crosses the line so how come my teacher can just casually say that word? he was not really my favorite teacher. he was no one's favorite tbh literally all my classmates hated him. plus, he's homophobic which just adds my hatred for him.
He’s British? He is an amazing actor, I would’ve never known...
He's not British.
Good for him. Still disappointed in Samuel L. Jackson criticizing him for being cast in Get Out. Come on. He played that role to perfection and deserved that Oscar nom.
It's sad because some people don't have anything in this world BUT racism, so it's like im poor as phuck but at least im not mexican or black and so they clinch on to racism cause it's all they have left to be proud of. This is why when i saw a poor white guy who had thy attitude of " i have more things to worry about then your skin color" it truly touched my heart and as a black man i made a dangerous decision to let him sleep in my car cause it was cold out.
His name is kenny and granted it was only for a few days it was better then the rest of the world who seemed like he was invisible. His brother is helping him out now and my wife brings him food.
The sooner we replace black/white with good/bad people the better off will all be because the true enemy is the corrupted politics 1% elites that seek to exploit for personal gain and enslave us all.....
Cng215 word
He’s just...everything 😍
Hobie brown
so much love and respect xx
ara is sleepy he should be in prison for betraying the king of wakanda!
Lmao love his honesty
America is the child who learned racism sitting on the knee of their parent (the U.K), and multiplied those lessons by a factor of 10.
I always feel in the UK racism is the uncomfortable truth no one wants you to discuss.
Hearing Black people from Britain talk about racism cultural and psychological gold to me. I love hearing their perspective on the subject.
Levels!!!
It sucks but it'll never die, it's unkillable sadly. I've moved on and just keep those types of people away from myself and try to get to tomorrow. One day at a time.
This ain’t the place to talk about spider punk. This is about a serious topic and y’all are coming here talking about some superhero instead of a problem that’s having real effects on peoples lives.
Everything he said is pure facts
I love how he pronounces America: "Amerikuh"
How tf else r u supposed to pronounce it?
He was great in Black Mirror. Glad o watched the first series, before it was too dark to keep watching 😆 also show more of his view of racism!!
He was in Black Panther, right?
yes
I was harrassed on a bus in London by a black man who was pissed off that my husband (the Brit; I'm American) was white. The man kept waving his knife at me and calling me a sellout. That's the most racist thing that's ever happened to me in the UK.
Wow that’s crazy, he sounds mentally disturbed if he was slinging a knife around
And my brother was sexually harassed by an Indian man you're just proving his point
Ya’ll focussing On America and UK saying they’re the most racist countries today....
I’m just here like... you’ve never been to East Asia, have you?
Nordic/Scandinavian countries as well
@Alfred Walthamstow Johnson
Racism is in every country, more hidden in some countries than others tho, but it’s a global thing not just a UK or US thing. No matter where you go, you can’t escape it
Absolutely spot on! The UK Definitely still has a racism issue, it's definitely covert here in the UK. To name a few issues: we don't have many black Premier league managers, well one, the media continually identify crimes by the race or religion of that specific minority, often omitting it for native English people, and let's not even get into British Asians and sports.
"Britain has racism, its just not very good at it. I mean you give i a go an all, but..."
Reginald D. Hunter
He is correct , why does he have me blushing at the same time lol
its 2020, I dont feel that much racism in London at all. When i was a kid maybe, but the UK is very multicultural and multiculuralism is more engrained here than in the US. The only racism we have now is towards immigrants. But its justified.
@That One hardly.
I agree African, Asian, Polish etc immigrants receive more racism than Brits do
Ur white.
That’s lies
I appreciate Daniel Kaluuya saying the first sentence that racism is more pronounced in the U.S. than in the London.
This is a serious topic but I will never unsee this man as spider punk
I keep arguing with people racism in people is NOT systemic. If you’re racist no one taught you that, whereas in Britain, THEY COLONIZED YOU.
I don't deny there's racism everywhere but in the US is just ridiculous; and it's from BOTH sides despite what the PC culture wants it to make it look like.
This is, because in the USA the black-white construct is heavily imposed; I would even argue, that right now, even though there are still white racists, it is even more pronounce on black people that do tend to self segregate.
In my country Colombia, there's some racism I won't deny it; but, what I love about my country is that we think about ourselves as Colombians first and foremost; diversity is just an additional asset we proudly embrace and most of us, do not even think in terms of race, or any sort of segregation.
Esta es la diferencia entre latinoamérica y Estados unidos, soy brasileño aqui infelizmente hay mucho racismo pero aqui la mayoria no da importancia para el color del piél, saludos hermanos 🇧🇷🇨🇴
He's always got that "get out" look. Like....it never leaves his face xD. I think he's in the history books now. People will forever know him as "the get out guy" (Chris) no matter what film/show he does. It's like if you saw Williams Shatner on a show that's not TOS, everyone would scream "Ayyyyye, that's Captain Kirk!".
He's escaped "systematic racism" in Britain to go to "overt and systematic racism" in USA to become a wealthy famous Hollywood actor.🤔
There’s more media in the US and a higher chance for you to be successful. That’s why a lot immigrants come to America, it’s the land of opportunity. America does have racism but immigrants usually focus on the opportunity it provides and safety rather than its other issues like racism compared to the reasons why the leave their own countries (gangs, war, poverty,etc)

Hi hobie brown
I am so proud of Daniel Kaluuya boy born in my motherland Uganda
He was born in London to Ugandan parents.
I thought he was Nigerian lol
Having grown up in the U.K. as a foreigner in a very multicultural school, I felt nothing nor experienced anything close to racism.
I’m not sure if it really is true or whether self victimisation has become an obstacles toward progress.
This is, for example, a very non racist opinion, at least for me, yet might be categorised as extreme- due to over sensitivity...
Everything he said is true.
It’s more in usa 🇺🇸 than Britain 🇬🇧
He didn’t say-
I relate so much !
Oh hey Hobie Brown
I love how British black people don't hold back. Him and John Boyega are my favorite for that reason, they don't cover anything up to appease anyone , they tell the truth and I love them both.
In Britain dealing with racism has gotten so far that they are confusing what is racist and what isn't
PowerofAwesome ikr lol if you're against immigration you're apparently labelled a racist
i think this is a global issue
I'm not confused.
They’re not confused. Racism takes a lot of different forms, and some forms have nothing to do with hatred or xenophobia, but inherent biases that a lot of people don’t recognize in themselves. That has implications for job prospects, housing, education etc..
So well said.
When will "Black" actors and actresses stop responding to questions about racism. This is not a 'let's discuss this and bring awareness' practice, this is sophisticated way of putting you mentally into a state of negative emotion and feelings and energy. I mean you go to discuss your flowering career and someone wants to change the topic to miserable stuff. People really need to study and understand psychology and quit engaging in these stupid questions. It's no different than the ridiculous when did you loose your virginity question that used to be forced on every young and upcoming entertainer back in the day.
I couldn't disagree more, especially at this time when 'Trumps' America seems to be opening a ever widening chasm between people. Artists like it or not are powerful messengers heard by many. To say don't broach a subject on race, politics, me too or whatever just seems ridiculous. Only talk about your art and have no political or social commentary! Governments would love you as the arts minister!
+ckzckw
Yeah.
The race narrative is about creating a type of feudalism of the mind. i.e. turning otherwise independent human beings with potential into quasi-serfs. Stepchildren looking for "white" approval or the elusive "non-racism".
Being that most human beings are individuals who live, make choices and engage with who they choose, this narrative suggests that people cannot be happy and complete until the supposed attitudes of other people that have nothing to do with them "change". An abstraction which would not change your personal life one way or the other.(nor solve socio-economics!)
No one would suggest that white segments of the population should feel entrapped by black resentments until every last black person holds positive views towards them.
(There's a reason why this stuff is primarily pushed by white establishment types!)
I'm a black guys and talking about race 24 7 is annoying asf, I rarely experience racism to begin with tbh
America is colorized racism while Britain is nationalized racism
Victim mentality.
Very good synopsis.
To be honest as a black man...we can go two ways with this...we can keep standing on a soap box saying blah , blah, blah...or we can FOGET about the PAST and just GET ON with it; but we CAN'T have both...so let's choose...

If people started saying: 'people have done X precise thing to me.....and it made me feel Y because of Z'. And then made clear how often such things have happened in their lives...people would stop questioning whether the racism that is spoken about isn't real. Almost everyone would be 100% behind reasonable measures to improve those situations. Unfortunately its almost always vague, broad statements- saying 'you don't see it but you feel it' is just not good enough. Sorry.
Hence why people are now filming it. But you don't exactly go to a job interview with a camera now do you.
This was great
c'mon W magazine, step your game up with closed captions/subtitles. I feel utterly disappointed that not all of your videos are subtitled before release. bloody hell.
And am a great fan of Daniel kaluya . he a homeboy
He's a dope actor ..... go watch Queen and Slim!!!! I love that movie soooooo much.
Absolute truth.. Period!
"O mankind! We have created you out of a male and a female, and We have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you may recognise (and do good to) one another. Surely the most honourable of you in the sight of Allâh is he who guards against evil the most. Verily, Allâh is All- knowing, All-Aware". Islam against racism
In America black people are being bitten with a growl.(Wolf)
In Britian they are being bitten with a smile.(Fox)
The wolf and the fox both have the same appetite but they display different methods.
