It seems americans view race more based on experience and "culture" rather than what race they actually are (genotype + phenotype). lol i dunno i think this is why there are a lot of "transracials" in the black community. I mean my mum is mixed and my dad is white, i have met many people like me who would STILL identify as black or biracial because their mixed parent identified as such. Its very confusing

    I was confused on how they were ranking themselves because some mentioned cultural aspects but others brought up their family lineage but the scale was a DNA test. I think Josselyn had the family lineage but felt more “culturally” black than Jonathan based on mainstream media factors which was why she wanted to be ranked above him. Since they were going off of DNA though as the bottom line they should’ve put Jonathan above her no doubt.

      Being black has nothing to do with genetics. Many people can have black genes and appear other race on the outside. Being black is a experience, a connection with your ancestors and heritage that you don't need to explain. It's tiring how people try to put everybody into blackness just because their father is black or because the one drop rule. It may makes sense in USA or South Africa, because of their stories with segregation and apartheid, but for the rest of the world, you have to look black in order to be one. Your own kind has to recognize you as their own.

    Jubilee and friends, I appreciate you guys for taking the time to make a video like this! It created the space to actually talk about "Blackness" in a tangible way. That being said, I wished the participants would've delved deeper into the topic and not have kept it so surface level. There are so many factors that make a person black and not all of it is dependent on genetics and how melanated you are. While that is a major factor it is not the only significant one. I think delving into where and how one feels the most comfortable (environment wise) and who they resonate with the most when it comes to present day as well as historically are indicative. The number one person, Serena, brought up the fact that both her parents being from "Eritrea" was significant enough to keep her at number one. My counterpoint and what I wished one of the other participants had brought up, is that we (African Americans) do not have that luxury. Due to the slave trade (that lasted for hundreds of years) a lot of black people were dispelled from cultures and communities and interspersed among people that didn't want us and forcibly tried to erase us. Even if we took a DNA test or tried to follow a family tree as far back as it would go, we will never be able to know for sure where we came from and what tribe was (or is) linked to us. So while her point is significant it should not have been the deciding factor because the playing field for that is not level and just because we don't know where we came from specifically, it doesn't make us any less black. Another aspect that was touched on but not thoroughly discussed is skin tone. What a lot of people don't know or seem to want to believe is that black people are capable of having children that look like just about every race (skin tone, hair texture, eye color, body type, etc.) without directly breeding with said look-a-like race. In fact, historically, that was the case before interbreeding became normalized (and in some cases fetishized) to have children that were physical outliers and did not look both parents or other immediate members of the family. It should also be noted that we seem to be the only race capable of that phenomenon. I don't know if it's because we are capable of holding so much history within our DNA that certain traits and characteristics are able to jump, skip and span generations for a specific reason or if it's just happenstance but there are definitely multiple occasions where this anomaly has taken place. No other race (that I'm aware of) has this particular capability. So for that reason I would not have automatically assumed that they were the least "black" because of their skin tone. Overall, while it was a great discussion and a nice video I do believe that the mark was missed and would love a part two where individuals are open to this kind of dialogue and expound on why we think and act the way we do because even that would expand on the subject.

      @@matthewbartke4424 I don't think so. The whole point of the game is to go off of perception and then reveal what's the reality at the end. People do this in the other episodes as well. In the weight episode for example, towards the end, one of the ladies asks if she can talk about the program she's doing, and then she reveals the stomach reduction surgery she's planning to have, which gives everyone a better idea of where she should be in line. So Jubilee probably tells them not to be too specific at the start. If the guy said he had two white great grandparents from the beginning, it would ruin the point of the game.

Although she was kind of looking at DNA and ancestry, she mostly just felt like the most culturally Black person there and gave herself credit based on that. Like, Johnathan was clearly more Black than her the whole time, and it felt like him being more meek and not using slang and stuff made her doubt him. On the other hand, Wayne straight up having white great grandparents and being more brown than Joselyn just goes to show you can't think skin tone is always the answer. Lastly, I get why they focused on lighter-skinned and multi/bi-racial Black people, but I wanted to see where DNA could be misleading for more dark skinned Black people too.

This was clearly an African American ranking, referencing AAVE and proposed African American cuisine. But, the "real answers" they gave afterwards doesn't make sense with the rest of the video: they should have used the same criteria for their own answers and the real answers whether that's DNA or culture. I also wonder if they were to do a European American version if they'd count someone with 20% white DNA and 80% other as white, like they did here with black DNA.

      It’s literally a social experiment….the channel is full of them. They are meant to be bizarre and push the boundaries. Blackness shouldn’t be measurable but in this society, it does. They’re just exploring that concept. I think that’s really it.

    That was really interesting. I want to see Asians/Asian-Americans do this next because as an Asian American I want to compare and contrast to them. But I know for a fact I’d be on the lesser scale of “authentic Asian.”

      Well, yeah. Asian-Americans might as well not even be Asian at all if you’re comparing them to legitimate full Asians born and raised in an Asian country aside from Japan (Japanese people are so obsessed with Western culture that they’re almost more American than actual Americans lol). It would be akin to comparing a super conservative adult against someone like...Charli D’amelio.

      And how will they determine who is more Asian? Will they just look at say an Iranian guy and just assume he isn't Asian because he isn't from the east? I think with Asia it should really be narrowed down e.g. who is the most south Asian. Or who is the most east Asian? Asia is more racially diverse than Africa

      I wanna see that video. Cause it’ll definitely be confusing cause I feel like the term Asian is very broad. Like technical an Indian, a Persian and a Japanese person are all “Asian.” Regardless of skin color, religion and distinct local cultures. It would have to be a very western-based video

      Isnt plastic bags a swedish invention that was made as an alternative to paper bags since they could be reused anyway. I know that the same goes in my household in Denmark, unless the bag is broken or something spilled in it, it goes in the drawer for reuse.
