Sorry guys. UA-cam is bugging today. Think the word "White" got us demonitized and deranked so I reuploaded Anyways as far as this video goes, not gonna lie, we felt it was pretty underwhelming mostly because we felt like the discussion stayed on the surface level. Same cultural talking points which arent really the root of the issue. We feel like talking about it once and a while is fine but when the entire discussion is just that, it starts to feel like a distraction but maybe yall disagree. We wanna hear your thoughts!
What does black racism look like? I mean we know black bodies hanging from trees, and pregnant slaves getting their bellys cut open just to see if the fetus with male or female are the result of white racism
As a native American.. the only thing about pretty white girls in headdresses at Coachella that offends me is that non natives think they have the right to decide who is and isnt allowed to practice native culture. 99.9% of natives dont care if you wear native stuff that's why sell it at all our reservation stores... the only thing that scares natives is the death of our culture and it seems these anti racist all hell bent in making sure only native people practice native culture so that it'll be all but gone in a century. Culture only dies when it stops spreading and if you want america to be theworlds premier multucultural hub you should at least let the people practice the cultures which have existed in this country for thousands of years and exist nowhere else on the planet. In fact this multicultural hub is the last place on the planet where people should team up to finish off dying cultures. Also to your point about "traditional ceremonial headdresses" anything you can buy off wish isnt a ceremonial headress and isn't a threat to my culture or our practices the same that someone dressing as a priest for Halloween doesnt hurt actual priests. It's almost insulting to think we'd be offended by wearing something made of plastic you bought off the internet for 5 bucks from china. The only headdress you'd ever be forbidden to wear at a party would be one given to you directly from a chief or a medicine man. And to be honest if you were actually given the headress you are probably fine to wear it. This is just another case of white people/SJWs getting all offended on behalf of people who aren't even offended themselves. No human being has the right to tell you how to dress and what cultures you're allowed to admire. When Europeans first got to America the government was so scared at how frequently the Europeans defected to native society that they made having long hair illegal because it was seen as a stepping stone to defection. White people telling other white peoppe not to practice native culture is just an old racist relic of the past because white people were afraid of other white people adopting native culture over their supposedly superior European culture. Any time you lose your shit at a person in a costume you're contributing to our cultural genocide. You know what race I'm not worried about their culture dying? Japanese culture, because everybody is allowed to practice it, it has spread to every corner of the planet. Nobody who gets upset about cultural appropriation has ever contributed to a culture. Culture has shaped us over thousands of years and no human has the right to dictate who is allowed to resonate with what cultures
It is refreshing to hear you say that. I must admit I was a bit surprised by the guys' comments as am getting a bit sick of this cultural appropriation getting way out of hand. As a little girl I loved dressing up in different cultural costumes but nowadays my parents would be lambasted for letting me dress that way. It is getting out of hand like saying cannot use the word blackboard. Seems now people call them chalkboards. Yet we also have whiteboards. I don't think one is inferior to another lol. It is just crazy and does not solve anything at all.
I'm the whitest person ever and I practically grew up on a reservation in Wyoming and lived in a teepee for a while, not because I had to but because I liked it and liked the culture. I grew up more native than my literal native friends in Montana, but I'd be called racist if I did anything I grew up doing now
Love this! I saw another video with a similar point to yours. It was Halloween and this guy was dressed in a poncho, sombrero and a fake mustache, asking people on a college campus if his costume was offensive. Thet ALL said yes. But then he went to a little Mexico shopping strip (all the people spoke spanish and some even needed a translator). He asked actual Mexicans if his costume was offensive and not one single mexican person said yes. They said they liked it.
Yes, I couldn't agree more! The most racist white people are the ones who put every race in a neat little box, and tell them HOW they should act because of their race.
There are no races, in Apartied Southafrica they did the pencil test, if a pencel placed in your hair remained there, you were the underclass. If not you were the master race. Scientific eah. So beyond skin colour they based it on hair. Skin colour is just as random a trait. Most genitic diversity in the world is in Africa, because we all came from there!
"Do white folks have culture?" Are they asking if Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, English, Irish, Belarussian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Romanian, Serbian, Finnish, Islandic, Scottish, Croatian, German, Dutch, Slovanian, Czech, Welsch, Greek, Italian, French (the list goes on), have culture or not? I dont get this logic
My issue with Jubilee is they only use people from the same geographical location. Get someone from Georgia or Florida or even Alabama in some of these videos and you have a whole different outcome and diversity of answers.

@Inebriatd In liberal terms, retard would be used as ableist slur... Meanwhile in the toxic part of the COD Community thats pretty much a staple go to word that people throw out more often than not along with other word... The snowflakes out here tho are just way too overly sensitive to the world around them and I think its time to either discipline them because they were coddled too much even when they did something wrong growing up, or we just need to go back to discipline our kids the old fashioned way most of us were in the 70's-90's were... I got my ass beat when I did something wrong and I turned out just fine...🤣
@Inebriatd hate to break it to ya, but the term "reverse racism" was concocted in a conservative think tank in the late '80s early '90s to combat political correctness
Yeah, and you can't talk about other groups or races, but you can still use hashtag #WYPIPO on twitter or anywhere to talk shit about how people smell like wet dogs.

This is random but I just finished having a conversation with my family where I found myself being more intentional with waiting to speak and I definitely have picked that up from you guys videos. Usually I find that I can’t wait to get my point across as soon as someone says something I’d like to respond to, not that I’d always cut them off but the urge to say something always builds so much so that by the time it’s time for me to talk, my thoughts come out in such a rush & jumbled. Lol now I just picture Aba specifically having the straightest face & most relaxed demeanor as he waits to make his point then just says it so fluently & straightforward, when I’m waiting to speak in the midst of a passionate/heated discussion. & it helps.
I know that feeling. A small advice, which helped me ALOT with these kinds of situations, is to simply ask if you could disrupt for whatever reason. What frustrates me the most us when i have to wait to ask a question, until theyre already fifty miles further down and my question becomes irrelevant because topic has changed
@@xforeverhorsing5571 obviously that’s who Jubilee are gonna find and use for their video though. They’re all the way down with the far left narrative of anti whiteness, it’s pretty obvious.
@@sandrallewellyn2632 WTF are 'Micro aggressions' anyway?... Just ways of finding offence in something which is clearly not offensive. It keeps the easily offended with 'victim mentality' feeling safe in the fact they know they will get their daily dose of offence on any given day. At that point, it becomes those who are offended who are the problem. No one else. Micro Agression is like feminism... its massively subjective and something one person can find offence in while another person of the same demographic won't find offensive. Hypersensitivity would be a better term.
Tobi Hall example of a micro aggression... in an almost entirely white dominated work space, white girl to black girl, “can I touch your hair? Becky, look at her hair! Come touch it!” I use this example because this one happened. The white girl in question didn’t have ill intent, but she created a situation where the other girl felt awkward and reduced to her race. I’m not big on cancel culture and ultra progressive mania, but as a human being, I can definitely understand how that situation must have sucked, and I don’t want to make anyone feel like that. 🤙🏻
I'm struggling to understand how shared experiences of discrimination is culture. Culture is food and language and tradition and all that, the things that you keep alive from generation to generation. Not how much you get beaten up for your skin color.
@@boxoffrogs-studio We ALL have shared hardships as HUMANS. Before technology, life was INCREDIBLY OPPRESSIVE for everyone. You don't have grocery stores--you GET YOUR OWN FOOD. If you ate on a particular day, YOU WERE BLESSED. Truly, entitlement ruins everything. Black people, who suffered through slavery, aren't entitiled to a damn thing. The same people calling people entitled are asking for entitlements 😂 InsAnity
Dominik Eber right but by the laws of intersectionality, white people sit at the bottom due to presumed minimal marginalization and therefore limited experience. This in of itself is marginalization directed at all whites, creating a common experience. Boom, white culture reborn.
@@Eking-su3tr I never claimed Africa was a country? I ment to point out that neighboring countries/cultures unfortunately have a tendency to have conflict with each other in general and all over the world. I commented that since you pointed out that many African cultures "hated the shit out of each other some even still do". I get this a very heated topic and African cultures often get disrespected in international conversations, but would advise you to not always assume the worst immediately.
japan has previously stated that they think it's nice to see ppl appreciate their culture and they don't seem to see it the same as the western world does.
The problem is when they start profiting from other ppls culture. Kim K for instance; she started the Kimono clothing line and faced so much backlash from the Japanese for cultural appropriation that she recanted the entire line. It’s weird asf to dress up as another culture for Halloween- u can dress as fictional characters, lady bugs, pumpkins, fairy’s etc. but it becomes weird when you start dressing up as people because it implies that you feel their culture is silly. No other countries are out there playing dress up and dressing like “Americans” for holidays. Just because you want to appreciate something doesn’t mean that you need to take it! For example, just bc someone likes my hair doesn’t mean they can touch it, just because I like how someone at work dresses doesn’t mean I should go buy the same outfit as them and wear it, it’s fucking weird.
@@ObeyDaqSwaqq Only from American Japanese.. the 'real'Japanese really had to be explained the problem from different angles as it was so strange to think that for them. They all see it as a good thing if it's popularized or transformed and used. Culture appropriation is an American thing. As a Canadian I find it really strange to.. soon it feels we will be called racist for liking foods from other cultures... Depends how and why you do something.. like everything. I don't see why people are being so negative about this to me it only brings more racism and negativity.

brentstah I used to think that was an exaggeration, but I have an ex-friend who’s so far leftist that he has openly expressed a hatred for this country and a lot of what it stands for. I’ve met others who share a similar level of disdain. I’ve also never met someone (the ex-friend) so clouded and deluded in belief and judgement in my life. Someone so unprepared and reliant off those around them to develop their own opinions/ideas, even if they’re the wrong people giving the wrong advice or information. It seems like such a fog to live in, grappling onto whatever your hands can find while nearly blinded trying to make sense of what’s around you based on what you run in to. Maybe these qualities of his and being that politically extreme (left) are one in the same.
Dumb liberals pushing racism agenda as if it’s #1 issue in America & not even close & it’s also so Democrat’s can scare lower-middle class community by getting the majority of votes.
If white liberals actually wanted to solve class racial issues.... what would they campaign on? And if minorities could move up.... they might not like the idea of paying higher taxes. And so on.... The superficial issues allow far left liberals to pretend that they really care without caring at all. They have to keep a death grip, especially, on the black vote. Actually helping inner city blacks get out of their class cycle would hurt them in the long run. The last thing a liberal wants is an educated middle class minority thinking they can think for themselves.
@@SH-kz4fl There's nothing wrong with moving into a higher tax bracket because it is a sign of increased financial success. Then eventually you get over a hump where you are so wealthy that you pay a lower rate of taxes compared to your net worth (using various tax breaks, tax loopholes, etc).
That reminded me of when 3rd gen american-born Hispanics try to claim that they are from [insert country] when they barely know the language or traditions 😭 I was actually born in my native country of Honduras but I do not consider those types of American Hispanics to be the same as me
@@gilla2092 not really, no. it's like being armenian. the Armenian people aren't really the armenian people without our church. and the Irish aren't truly the irish without the Catholic faith
See i think in America since we are very diverse and Natives were there before the white settlers, its something americans use a lot because we identify with our heritage more as the US doesnt have one cohesive culture. We say were american because thats where we were born but because of family background we usually identify with where our roots are because culturally there truly is no such thing as being american. Yeah we have one that we kinda forced but thats because were not like countries like France or China in which our people were native and goes back to the very beginning of the country and have a deep and complex culture thats been around for generations. Were a verrrrry young country made by settlers not the natives. We are a mishmash of people from all over and culture wise the USA will never have anything like other countries do. Because of that we typically like to identify with our heritage because thats where our families culture is rooted from. Also your acting as if there arent families who even tho their relatives migrated years ago, dont practice their culture still
I'm with Morgan Freeman on this whole thing. “Stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man, and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
@@YLS8763It's been my perspective all through my life. I've been super confused many a time by "racism" because I don't think it lives in me? When Morgan said this it hit me like a bolt of lightning. Because one of my favorite souls on this earth spoke my own thoughts.
Same. Nothing like true natural wisdom when you hear it. So reassuring and comforting. Especially these days when you mostly hear nonsense. *like the comment below, from some soul that calls themselves CHAOS. Seriously though?
He says "you aren't discriminated against because of your skin color" He is assuming that she never faced any sort of discrimination just solely based on her skin color, which is not only racist, but it denies that person any sort of individualism and also denies any experience that they had. For example, I joined a clan on a game that was comprised of black people, they were all friends. On of the clan members told me that they were trying to make a "black only clan" so I had to leave. That is discrimination. How does this guy know that she has never been discriminated against just because she has a certain skin color. People can be discriminated against for any reason at any time. For this dude to deny that is dishonest and very closed minded. Just because black people in America can have similar experiences doesn't mean they have similar cultures. There are black people in America who never face discrimination because of their race. I know this because I have met quite a few that tell me so. The point is, that black people are not a monolith, just like white people are not a monolith.....his views of the world are sad. Also, the term "reverse racism" is probably one of the dumbest phrases of the 21st century. Reverse racism would equal out to not racism. The reverse of racism is not racist. So I don't really like that question. It implies that only white people can be racist and if you are racist toward white people, then it's somehow reverse racism? White people didn't invent racism...
Yes. I lived in the inner city of detroit. the cops stopped me because they thought I was in trouble and also because they thought I was doing something wrong. I experienced so much based only on my skin color.
well, it's the concept moreso than experiences. he makes an assumption that is true most of the time. i totally agree people aren't monoliths, but this was not something offensive. it's not something terrible to say that you may not face this trouble in the world b/c of this one aspect of yours. that may actually be more likely to be true. there are so many other factors as well. saying this is much more nuanced with a sociological lens than boxing a racial group in and saying they can't dance, for example. the first is more likely to be true, the second isn't really a claim one can make, and while it may be funny to some (as it is with any shallow stereotype), it is offensive to some as well.
@@onemillionpercent I agree. However most people use skin color as a monolith in our current culture, especially against white people for some reason. I see it with others as well but for some reason white people aren't allowed to voice their opposition to it because somehow they are complicit in it. It's not terrible to say you might not face trouble in this world because of one aspect of your. However it is terrible to say it when it relies on your skin color. If it relied on conscientiousness or strength of character or something that someone could actually control, then I would agree. But when it relies on making a blanket statement about all people with a certain skin color then I think it's gone a little too far and I think it's wrong. People aren't saying that you MAY not face adversity because you are white. They are saying you absolutely will not face adversity because you are white. Anytime white people complain about anything they are acused of having white privilege and are just brushed off as "snowflaking" because they are complaining about injustices. That's not what snowflaking is. Snowflaking is complaining about something trivial that isn't affecting your life and crying about it or throwing a tantrum.

@@elconsorte123 This is a straw man. This isn't a problem unique to black people, it's a problem for poorer communities which black people are unfortunately over represented in. Unless you can prove to me that middle class and richer black people have a problem with fatherlessness, its a useless argument. Like the OP states, we need to focus on concrete things, not useless talking points on both sides of the aisle.
@@elconsorte123 It is a huge problem sure. I just hate the narrative that this is a "black" issue. I also think the order you've got is wrong. Financial and Community aspects lead to unstable homes, which then creates a cycle, not the other way around. 2 parent households don't mean financial security or good schools or reduced crime rates. The issues are way too complex to suggest things like this, which are just derivative of other issues. Is it a factor? Sure. Is it the biggest one? I don't think it is, and would be addressed by fixing other problems. I would argue, fix the community, and you can start to fix the home. I'm not absolving people of personal responsibility here, you have to take control of you're own environment where you can, but we have to be mindful of contributing factors in all of these things
@@MrGooner9000 poverty does not cause violence, it is the other way around. Take a look at how much value was destroyed in Detroit after 1968 and in CHAZ now. That dude is right. It is not poverty that makes a woman desire the bad boy over the "boring" working man. Quite the opposite, when she has 2 kids by 2 different felons, she starts to hunt for such working man, only to resent him if he is stupid enough to give her the time of day.
Exactly. I feel like these race conversations are meant to be a distraction from that. Once we stop fighting with each other, we fight the upper class, and they can't have that.
I live in Honduras for 2 years as a teenager and there were people who hated me simply because of my color, I constantly get yelled at with things like “get out of Honduras white lady”,🤣 I tried not let it get me down because their opinion of me doesn’t matter but hey racism is racism and not held for only one race
How is "do you white people have culture?" Even a question? I'm a brit and I can tell you that white people, through all nations, have customs, architecture, inventions, music, clothing, behaviours, mannerisms, languages, myths etc just like every other race or ethnicity. I'd argue that anyone who questions this probably can't see it simply because they're immersed in it. A bit like when someone says "without an accent" when we all have accents. Every single one of us. Just like culture.
American way is to lump it all together base on what I have seen. like they assume upper classman British accent is how everyone in Britain sound type situation.
I agree. I'm white...but I'm Romanian and yes we do have a culture that is nothing like the white American culture (like the generalization at least). So when I hear on the Internet "white people" to me they mean white Americans.
We think very differently, but the woke inquisition makes it dangerous to use half the dictionary, so it's difficult to express yourself. Get to know some white people well, and you'll learm how much preference falsification is going on; people pretend to have other values that they do have. Just look at youtube... You can barely write anything anymore without your comment being deleted by some AI after 20 seconds. I don't think most people are aware of that happening.
Riso ummm DUH idiot it IS about personality NOT race. You’re SUPPOSED to like someone based off personality and not race. What a dumb comment honestly. Goes to show ppl don’t meet ppl based on personality. Such a disgrace.
@@fearlessjoebanzai Well, no, because it would be deleted :P My guess is that Google employs an artificial, neural network to censor youtube comments. It does not simply react to certain words (ones related to crime, ethnicity, sexuality and the like), but also context. For example, I worry that this comment will be deleted because I have mentioned ethnicity and crime in the same text. I always back-up my comments, now, so that I can rephrase and repost them if they are deleted. If your comment isn't deleted within 20 seconds, you seem to be safe. What really bothers me is that you are not notified that your comment has been deleted.
There isn’t such thing as “white culture” cuz every white person come from different cultural backgrounds depending on their ethnicity. There’s Italian culture, English culture, Spanish culture. Saying white culture is saying all white people share a common culture which isn’t true
@@kiddarts8812 I think the problem is that the sentence is not clear. For example, I interpret it as "Do white people have culture?" and you read it as "Is there a white culture?"
@chicken nugget I have to disagree. We are Caucasians, it is just a fact. You can find very different skin colours (from very pale to light brown), but we come from the Caucasian race.
@chicken nugget This only goes to show that race is an arbitrary scale to measure people from. There are some Spanish, or Italian people that are ghost white. Some are brown. Some of those "white" people can get quite a tan from being outside for a little while in the sun. It's really all arbitrary
chicken nugget italians and spanish relate to arabs because of the sphere of influence the islamic empires had back in the day. Politics=/= cultural identity
It is painful to discuss with American SJWs on social media because they all have the same rehashed discourse from Tumblr and Buzzfeed, their self hate make them blind and ignorant to what happens outside the USA, tell a Bosnian and a Norwegian that they have the same culture (or no culture) because of their shared whiteness and see what happens lol, j'adore vos videos les gars, vous êtes une lueur d'espoir dans tout ce bordel 🙂 Merci

It's just a way for them to start drama because they're too bored with their own lame lives.
My favorite was when Kylie and Kendall were attacked online for "appropriating Hispanic culture" because they had giant hoop earrings on and dark lined lips. Because I have never in my life sported that look and I _hate_ hoop earrings...the same goes for everyone in my family. So acting like all of us Latinas somehow own that look was more bigoted than anything Kylie and Kendall were doing lol.
The idea isn't that ALL Hispanics dress like that, it was the fact that that look is affiliated and started by chola culture, of which Hispanic women were ridiculed for having that style. I'm not Hispanic so I don't have any reason to decide how Hispanics should feel regarding the subject, but your comment seemed like you felt the ridicule stemmed from a stereotype that a whole race wears the same costume.
Yeah, I may not completely like Kylie and Kendall, but even I know to give them credit when it's due. That is not cultural appropriation, and even if it was, I 100% assure you hispanics don't give a shit. As a latino (Argentinian), I wouldn't also like if someone said that a white person eating "empanadas" is cultural appropriation. Like, let them do whatever the fuck they want, it doesn't affect me.
@@davidkonevky7372 exactly. The ironic thing is that I'm pretty sure 90% of the people who get "triggered" and immediately accuse everyone they possibly can of cultural appropriation are caucasian anyways...which makes no sense to me!

As a white person owning a lot of culturally accurate chinese dresses, I cannot stress enough how much I adore being told by some abc liberal that I'm not allowed to wear it. Meanwhile I speak chinese and they struggle to apologize in mandarin. As a native German I am also not happy if people ridicule my traditional wear, but let's not automatically assume someone is incapable of embracing certain cultural dresses based on their appearance.
The irony is that if you think it doesn’t agree actually means you are racist against white people for the exact reason you mentioned. But that is the overall irony of the left. Those who are the loudest against something are usually guilty of what they say they are against.
2:02 So ALL black people have the same experience because of their skin color...... wow That's amazing I've never experienced any of the things that most black people talk about in regards to being oppressed or being a victim
Keep that in mind when you say ALL white people have privilege. I know a few who grew up in poor neighborhoods and are treated just like colored people by police here in AZ. It's more about being rich and poor; where you come from area code wise bc we are divided by class here in AZ but they try and hide it by calling them city lines.
I've lived in Japan and know many Japanese people (who were born in Japan, have lived most or their entire life in Japan, and are currently living in Japan) of different ages and I have never once heard anyone say a non-Japanese person cannot wear a kimono/yukata/any Japanese clothing item, or dress up as a geisha... Quite the opposite. Japanese people in my experience are excited that people outside Japan are interested and think their traditional clothes and culture are beautiful. Fewer people want to become geisha, and the kimono industry is getting smaller as well, so I have only ever heard Japanese people thinking positively of tourists taking interest and buying kimonos. The only negative things I've heard are annoyance if people think the geisha are prostitutes or if people wear the kimono incorrectly (and even then people want to help you, and not all Japanese know how to put on a full kimono themselves either). The only people I've heard saying non-Japanese can't wear these clothes or dress up as a geisha are non-Japanese people outside Japan or people with Japanese heritage who have never lived in Japan.
@@notmypotato3730 Of course it is just a joke. There's the cultural expectation of us to be able to dance, so we subconsciously wish not to disappoint, already from a young age. There are also other factors, like being under he microscope all the time in a white society makes you lose inhibitions, because you get stared at anyway, so might as well dance like nobody's watching. I've seen hundreds of black guys in hip hop clubs just standing in the corner for hours though, not even slightly moving to the beat, because to them "gangstas don't dance", because it seems unmanly to them, so there are enough of them that definitely can't dance at all.
Yeah because the word 'white' is highly offensive to black people. You know, the people who actually believe this to the point that they censor it can kiss a donkey's butt. Edit: seeing as people are misinterpreting my comment, I'll make it clear. I am mocking the individuals who believe the word white is offensive to non-whites.

i completely agree that a big issue with the discrimination and racism has to do with poverty and class... a lack of wealth in a certain area wears away at its social aspects through hurting the educational systems, centers that assist people in that community, etc. so then people in those communities feel alienated from other communities, because they feel that with the poor education and lack of opportunity, they can't get out of their situation. also, i really don't know if it's my place to say this (please lmk if i'm wrong), but i feel that the way black celebrities are portrayed is actually indirectly causing issues. we're almost creating this stereotype that you can't be successful while black as an every day person, unless you're a celebrity. and you see a lot of black celebrities (mainly musicians) focusing on money... while i don't think that's wrong in and of itself, that constant theme being promoted and associated with black culture is keeping nonblack people from seeing that day-to-day black people are seriously underprivileged. and for me, i feel that the celebrity culture as a whole (regardless of race) focuses so much on being wasteful with money because it's so focused on spending as a form of entertainment for others, something that we could use to actually help underprivileged people. again, i'm not shaming celebrities for talking about money, it's just when it's the constant theme of it promoted (because i know there are potential celebrities who don't talk all about that, they're just not as famous typically), there's something underlying in our society that is off. anyways, yeah, i don't think that the whole issue is the celebrities' faults, but more the society we've created. so essentially, back to systemic racism.
Nigga I'm Jamaican too and some of these shit just be so stupid I remember I was in class and this sub ask me if I watch this movie and I said no and that nigga said well ur not jamaican.
Same thing with “Latino culture.” Many Latin American countries have their own cultures since some are more African, European or Amerindian. The same thing goes for food, dances and music. Many Latin American countries also have their own dialects, slang and indigenous languages so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what “Latino culture” is. Same thing with “black culture.” Black people all around are not a monolith and the culture varies from location to location.
Blk culture in America means the culture of blk Americans (those w/o prior knowledge of life in another country outside of US generations back prior to slavery)
@Wackinator 66 imo, in general yes but not specifically. (I am blk, just an fyi and have lived on thw West coast for 10yrs, originally from the South) Just like if I am in Spain and am at a dinner table of Americans(of any race) we would have a generalized common view or at least be able to assume the other American's view because we are familiar w Americans and have lived as Americans etc. Hope I am making sense.
@Wackinator 66 no race is a monolith however, we will def have similar experiences or at least know someone who has... there will be some type of common ground based off of the race/nationality/ethnicity of the ppl.

I mean, i wouldn't wear the burial headdress of another people for some party ax the street...sure i can wear whatever i want, but if I'm aware its from another culture and has big significance, I personally would not wear stuff willy nilly. What do you think about such pieces of wear?
@Manannan anam Whites always been a vague term. Less than a century ago, even Italians weren't considered white. Now, even Armenians are calling themselves white.
They are “White Americans” and have formulated a culture of their own but dont recognise it. Macaroni and Pizza is Italian and Frankfurters and hamburgers are German
Also these are typical LA white folk (with anglo ethnicity). Their experiences are very different from a NY white dude who's ethnically italian for instance.
I dont know where u live but I live in Cali and I used to think all white folk was the same until I lived in Chicago for a year and even the white people were separated by race; polish had a polish neighborhood, Irish had an Irish neighborhood, Italian had an Italian neighborhood and so on, and so on. So I don't think all white people think and even associate with all other white folks like I used to think. Irish is one race that seem to really separate themselves from all other white races. I used to think Portuguese was white until I met several different black Portuguese. Like Latin countries where color of skin is irrelevant to your race. Every single Latin race ranges from white blond hair blue eyes to black skin and kinky hair ect. So all this race separation Is more relevant in states that are less diverse I guess??? My own family is several different races: Mex, Puerto Rican, Native American Indian, Jamaican, African American, Philippino, Guamanian, and Hawaiian. All that in my immediate family Mom,Pops, brothers, sisters. CA lifestyle. ❤
@@moniqueresendezful Long reply below but before you read: ---I do not have ANY background in anthropology. ---This is just deductions and the insight of someone that finds anthropology interesting. I agree, although just to be precise, Portuguese (those related to the actual ethnic group of the country of Portugal) are Caucasian. They are related to the collective races originating from Europe that define "White Race" in a sense. In contrast someone of "Brazilian descent" is more likely a mixture of multiple ethnicities (possibly multiple races) like you implied in the diversity of your background. It wouldn't be correct however to equate someone like this with "White" ("European") from a genetic perspective. It just wouldn't be consistent or useful.

@liz t that is true generally speaking . I mean if you're publishing a professional paper then yes, Wikipedia is definitely not something to use. But for the sake of a very general definition on a YT comment, I'll take the risk.

According to my friends culture, one should remove their shoes upon entering the home. To respect my friends culture, and to make sure I don’t appropriate his culture, I’m going to wear my muddy boots all over his hardwood floors. To show my appreciation for his culture. Or I could not trip out on my friend and take off my shoes.
TheSonyaWright How about this one. In most cultures it’s customary to offer or to eat with strangers or people who come over and visit in the home. In order to respect that aspect of my friends culture, I will offend him by refusing profusely, apologizing, and failing to understand........ Or o could sit down and break bread with my new friend. It’s hard to go to war with someone who you have sat down and eaten a meal with.
@@giordanobruno1333 the issue I was having is you positioning respecting someone's culture as possibly appropriating which doesn't compute. There is no risk of appropriation when you respect the culture. I respect Ethiopian culture, so I eat with my hands when visiting but I don't dress up as them for Halloween or change the name of one of their native meals and claim it as my creation. It's super simple. I think people (mainly those lacking common sense) make this topic way harder.
TheSonyaWright My point: people should relax, be more accepting. Speak less, listen more. Compassion and empathy, understanding. Let’s talk about that when we speak on culture. It’s hard to have these conversations not go negative. My child just graduated high school a “Redskin”. The mascots name is “chief Digger”, in California. Nobody bats an eye. Nobody running around tearing down any cigar store Indians. Red lives don’t matter. Go ahead. Culturally appropriate. It’s all good. I’m not your mascot.
TheSonyaWright “Respecting someone’s culture while appropriating” Red lives don’t matter. We do it everyday. We have appropriated the native culture, reducing them to mascots, and calling it “respect” and “honor” to their culture. I am not your mascot.
Intention is very important in bullying. You don't feel as hurt if someone accidentally pushes you in a crowd, you do however feel very hurt and insecure, if people do so on purpose, tell you so and laugh about you for being pushed.
@@jn4718 And you can consider nomadic also a culture it was one of the first cultures even, because we used to be all nomadic tribes with very distinct behavior. Everyone has a culture period.
Yep. And I feel like saying white people don't have a culture, but black people do is absurd because there are different black cultures throughout the world. Black "Island" culture is different from black African culture, which is different from black American culture, and everything in between. Heck American culture as a whole regardless of race is different from European culture as a whole regardless of race. Culture has more to do with the time and place that people live, a shared general experience based on what people are exposed to and cultivate as a whole. It's just ridiculous to claim that culture is solely a shared oppressive experience.
The analogy is on point, but for a different reason. There are many different American accents, like there are many white American cultures. Go to Brooklyn, then Tuscaloosa, then Maine, etc., and tell me about this monolithic "white culture". It doesn't exist.
@@garki1369 Yeah, I was just thinking about that too. There are such distinctions between different regions within the US. Farming culture, beach culture, city culture, suburb culture, urban culture, religious culture, etc.... each of these groups has distinct art, achievements, social institutions, customs, etc. And that's regardless of race, but in areas that are primarily white it's not like these things cease to exist. Culture can also change and grow, but people act as though culture is solely deep-rooted traditions. So cultural appropriation applies to (like the examples they gave) stuff like a native American headdress or a geisha outfit. But what about something like a kilt? That's a traditional garb worn by primarily white people and has deep-rooted cultural and family significance yet you don't hear about scotsmen getting offended if non-Scottish people wear them as costumes. It's a huge double standard and something that seems like it was initiated by white people who feel guilty for the things other white people have done in the past. That's just absurd! The atrocities inflicted on people of other ethnicities BY people of other ethnicities is also part of human history and continues to this day. Just look at the atrocities currently going on in central and south America, Africa, and Asia! People act like the US is the worst, but you first have to define what good and bad are before you start ranking these countries and races by their histories.
Finally, someone pointing out that just because you're the same race doesn't mean you can relate to one another, you see some African Americans trying to identify with Black Africans just because they're also black and it's like no the African has a different culture, life experiences, world view than you, the color of their skin literally has nothing to do with how they are as a person.
There are so many different countries in Europe with different cultures, I myself am from Sweden which differes A LOT from let's say a country like Russia, Ukraine, even italy, france, etc etc
@@kinnie7 Much of Russia does not even consistent of ethnic Russians i.e. Slavs. There are multiple federal subjects whose constituents are descendants of MENA e.g. Dagestan.
True, but all Europeans still share a common cultural heritage, art, history, philosophy. In this regard Sweden is much more similar to Italy or Russia, than to Japan or India for example
@@mrmr4622 I think there's a misunderstanding of 'culture' in this context here. The common description of culture in this context has little to do with art and such, but rather the "collective mental programming of the human mind which distinguishes one group of people from another" (taken from e.g. Hofstede). And in that regard The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland already differ a lot from the rest of Europe simply because we're heavily on the feminine side of the femininity-masculinity axis (wanting to be the best (masculine) or liking what you do (feminine)).

@Lawtyboy Jubilee is American. I get the feeling if they talked about topics outside of the US that there would be comments asking why they felt entitled to speak on non-American subjects. I see some big channels like that Fine Bros React channel that do more international subjects, but you still get those same comments from people around the world saying the Americans in the video don't know the subject even though the point of the videos are for them to react to the subject and learn about it. It's all a double edged sword.
You guys hit the nail on the head with the class thing, class mobility has traditionally held people back a lot more than it's been recognized for over the years.
"Until we start talking about class more often and finances, all of this other shit is really irrelevant." That's exactly why so many major companies love and support stuff like this and other racial and gender questions; it gets the focus off of them.
@@pathetic2399 if hes irish then im african cause 'my ancestors', if you were born in america by parents who were also american and you live in america, then youre probably american, if you want to go down the ancestor route then does that make us all fish people of atlantis ?
He is obviously saying that his family immigrated from Ireland. This means that the communities his ancestors grew up in were predominantly influenced by IRISH culture. Meaning, his upbringing was liking that of this family, who are IRISH. He is probably ore frugal due to generational poverty (I am. It’s weird the things I reuse tbh). Like, oh, this is a really nice water bottle, I’m going to hold on to this in case I can use it again. This clearly can be more than just specific to IRISH immigrants; however, it is something that impacts current thought of descendants.
I'm Irish and culturally I dont think the guy who said he was Irish would know Irish culture, perhaps he celebrates St Patrick's Day, oh wait is dressing up as leprechauns and saying Top of The Morning to ya cultural appropriation 🤔 haha. This missed the mark on so many levels of cringe!
What should Irish-Americans do then? What if that guy was first generation? Americans dont feel tied to the land even today because well our lineage obviously doesnt come from the New World. Unless you’re a Native most of us dont feel truly “American” on top of that American culture, to most of us, is not only misrepresented worldwide, (like fat people make us look way worse than we are, not everyone is fat here i swear) but also just a mix of many cultures so we dont feel like we have roots in anything so we seek that cultural identity from where our family came from originally.
@Levi Shepard thanks for sharing, its a perspective that is unique to an 'American' giving the melting pot and not a situation Ive found myself in so I appreciate you sharing that thought and I can empathise with that. I did always wonder why there were people classing themselves as sub groups tied to their ancestry. People do it here too with e.g. Ulster Scots. Food for thought and I dont group people e.g us = fat etc. As Irish people have been classed as drunks still in the dark ages...people are individuals not just a 'group' of people ...agreed! 👏
Emma. G Lol funny you mention that my family comes from Ulster. And its funny I didnt think about it until this but I think white Americans do have “culture” but they are sub groups that fall into grey area’s because they are things plenty of other races and cultures are down with too like the skate/surf/ action sport scene, maybe golf shit like that, and we dont have a ton of deep cool traditions that only white people do because tbh i dont think the majority (hopefully) is extremely proud of everything “our ancestors” have done. As an Irish person, what do you see as American culture? What does white American culture look like on the outside?
Levi Shepard I’m from Ulster (we have a great rugby team!) Then who are my ancestors the Scandinavians from the vikings that settled, the Germans, the French who knows lol. From where I sit in the world (north west tip of Europe) I don’t link skin colour to culture. For example Europe has so many diverse cultures in a small area of the globe yet the majority are white, same with the continent of Africa predominantly black persons but from country to country diverse cultures we never think in colour I.e your not automatically a white person because your from Ireland. The amount of media now and info online I see America (re: USA) as having many diverse cultures stemming from different backgrounds and geography... a little like Europe or Africa in that sense) not based of colour. Every country has their shallow stereotypes and we all know them roughly.
Emma. G I always wanted to try rugby! Lol I agree with you thats how I see it too but people always try to make it about race and it makes me think Im crazy because I don’t really get it, I dont know how this outdated and ignorant way to categorizing folks based on what they look like still exists.
@@MyouKyuubi Hahaha sure, but I'll bet every potato I have that he has never been to Ireland, let alone know anything about Irish culture - most native born residents of most nations tend not to know their own history or culture anyway, so I have confidence to mock this man. Having said that, I'm not even remotely American, but I DO say 'hella' now and again - cultural appropriation? :D
@Christian Smith This is a video about culture and what 'white people' ostensibly think, not genetic or geographic ancestry. Take every Irish person out of Ireland and replace them with a random mix of Slavs, Puerto Ricans and Lebanese and it would very swiftly and very distinctly not mean the same thing if you said 'I'm Irish' from then on. It's like when some of my middle class, black American friends went to an African country to find 'their roots' and meet 'brothers' but instead found that the locals didn't see them as 'black' (my friends didn't seem to anticipate that, with almost everyone there being black they didn't really stand out as much) so much as 'American,' and mostly derided them as tourists. My observation was more related to the fact that he brought up some 'Irish' component to in part explain how he thinks as a 'white' person, intermingling the two and implying that he had more of a passing understanding of what it is to be 'Irish' - which is why it was funny that he would use the word 'hella' in the same sentence; I didn't really assume anything so much as assign a high probability to the hypothesis that he has never visited the country of Ireland nor is he particularly - let alone 'hella' - Irish by any metric. Could totally be wrong, just guessing based off literally a single sentence.
Not all black people go through the same thing African Americans maybe But not all black people Living in a 3rd world country has different issues than living in a 1rst world country

@@MrMakingwavesmedia 1) i am neither african nor american 2) according to what i have seen on the internet (that's why i said maybe) there is some discrimination against some races in the us which lead to physical harm 3) Their ancestors are originally from Africa so that defies your sentence 4) even if you weren't born in a country but u r originally from there that country will have some sort of meaning to most people who experienced that (whether it's good or bad) 5) ty for the insults 😴 6) being categorized as a person from 2 locations is usually used with people who were dragged out of their country forcefully (ex : Armenians ... After the genocide they were forced to move out but they still acknowledge their armenian origin even if they were "forced" to leave their country therefore when u see an armenian decendant's id it will say 'armenian x' x being the country they were born in)
@@MrMakingwavesmedia majority of us do dummy, have every visited a low income black neighborhood no you have no majority of blacks live in that type of neighbor so alot of us do share very similar experiences.

Silence homie
There are cultures in America as well that aren't race specific: Midwestern, Southern, Cali, Northeastern, New Yorker, Northwestern, Rockies, Appalachia, etc.
I feel that America is obsessed with race and cultural differences. In Europe in the news when someone is mentioned, the race of the person in question is not mentioned, it would even be weird if it was. The only thing mentioned is the nationality.
@@UnableToWin They will say that they have this kind of background, but they wont go out of their way to tell you how brown they were. Thats not the same thing at all.

I think it's a class issue more than a race issue, although race does play a part in it. The way these "white saviors" talk about the black community seems very patronizing to me.
Just be careful with ‘class issue’. The old Marxists of Mao China and Stalin USSR played that game and it got over 100, million people killed. Complaining about class division is far more dangerous than race issue.
Dean McCrorie And some of the people who pointed at race as *the* issue started the holocaust, enslaved entire ethnic groups, excluded the Chinese from immigrating to America, and a host of other things.
Centrist here I am European but look like a Mexican in a good way and I fucking hate these people they are not fooling anyone.

yeah and who cares. I say it as a term of endearment to my close friends. Using it how I do strips the word of its power.... those who feel all scared about it are GIVING the word power.
"Cultural appropriation", huh? Well, a couple of years ago i saw a black dude wearing a kilt. And he (dude, not kilt) was not from Scotland (he - dude, not kilt - was french). Guess he was appropriating as well.
Just like dreads which actually are not started by black people and braids which have been used by many cultures . What about all the black women who dye hair colors other than black or get perms I guess that is appropriation of white people? Who cares until they point you out for something. I had black woman get in fight other day next to me with white woman and when white woman spoke (normally) she accused her of appropriation because she said "ugh, mamam" and was assertive. WtF!!??
5:35 I bet that lady knows a lot about the cultural importance of geishas. There was (and still is) a product from a Finnish candy company called "Geisha." It created some controversy about cultural appropriation a few years back. A Japanese immigrant (or at least I think he's an immigrant) made a UA-cam video about it. He said that Geisha is a job like any other, albeit more traditional and specific to Japan than most jobs and that most Japanese people would see a product called "Geisha" about as offensive as if it was called "Engineer."
Putting limitations on certain words makes those words more powerful through scarcity and exclusivity. If you want the n word to lose its punch, then having it be over used is the quickest way to do this.
I agree, though in some cases less restrictions on a word may make it more powerful or offensive such as the words spastic or retard, which are now insults but used to be/are the names of a condition

@John Anderson I don't know how it is racist though. I am Colombian by blood and due to growing up in Spain, since dancing is not really a big part of their culture, I didn't get to learn to dance and I always get criticised for it and I've learnt to accept it, it's just not a part of who I am. Are they being racist for criticising a Latino that can't dance? I don't think so myself tbh, but that's just my opinion
I call that "Benevolent racism." Stole the concept from a feminist that talked about "benevolent sexism," which sounded dumb what she was talking about. Current year, though, I think all this woke culture is just a form of benevolent racism -- "we're so not-racist, we're not going to hold minorities to the same standards that we hold white people." And when you know you're not in your position through hard work and talent, but instead because they lowered the bar for you, you can't hold any respect for that place. It just become a joke.
From personal observation, the majority of people seem to call it "positive racism". Racism by overvalueing or giving unfair advantages to someone based on their origin, ethnicity or skin color.

In Japan they love when other types of people wearing kimonos, they even have places where tourist can go to get stunning dresses. They only thing they do or say is if it is worn improperly, but they don't attack them for it. They see it as a wonderful thing that people love and respect their culture. I could really see sjw's going to Japan and getting offended. Then if Japanese people say no it's fine that non-japanese people are wearing their kimonos,they'll just attack them for not being worried about cultural appropriation. It's ridiculous. But really the only people that get offended by it is sjw white people and racist people of color, like with some white people having dreads. It happened on a college campus. But the thing is people of all nationalities had dreads at one point in history, before they started using brushes.

And it's all white people that say this to me, it's so frustrating.
In many Latin American countries if you wear their traditional clothing, it is seen as a sign of respect and as a sign of interest in their culture, which most Latinos see as a good thing. Us Latinos don’t rlly have a problem with “cultural appropriation” because so many different types of people created parts of our culture like cuisine, dances, genres of music, clothing, etc.
So I was a senior in high school and my history teacher was talking about racism and someone said reverse racism and she asked what people thought I explained that it ment being racist to white people but that it's not actually reverse racism (she was happy at that answer) then I said it's just racism (she was unhappy with that answer) she then proceeded to argue with me for 20 minutes about how you can't be racist to white people... best look on her face was when I opened my phone pulled up the definition of racism and asked her to read it to the class and then explain how disriciminating against white people doesn't match the definition... she got so pissed she sent me to the dean
David Whitfield well in my case it was actually a black professor, who actually lived in a very prestigious city, teaching to people like me in community college in one of the not-so-great cities, telling me I had white privilege despite my parents immigrating here from Russia with literally nothing, fight tooth and nail to build a life for themselves and myself.

Culture only dies when it stops spreading and if you want america to be theworlds premier multucultural hub you should at least let the people practice the cultures which have existed in this country for thousands of years and exist nowhere else on the planet. In fact this multicultural hub is the last place on the planet where people should team up to finish off dying cultures. Also to your point about "traditional ceremonial headdresses" anything you can buy off wish isnt a ceremonial headress and isn't a threat to my culture or our practices the same that someone dressing as a priest for Halloween doesnt hurt actual priests. It's almost insulting to think we'd be offended by wearing something made of plastic you bought off the internet for 5 bucks from china. The only headdress you'd ever be forbidden to wear at a party would be one given to you directly from a chief or a medicine man. And to be honest if you were actually given the headress you are probably fine to wear it. This is just another case of white people/SJWs getting all offended on behalf of people who aren't even offended themselves. No human being has the right to tell you how to dress and what cultures you're allowed to admire. When Europeans first got to America the government was so scared at how frequently the Europeans defected to native society that they made having long hair illegal because it was seen as a stepping stone to defection. White people telling other white peoppe not to practice native culture is just an old racist relic of the past because white people were afraid of other white people adopting native culture over their supposedly superior European culture. Any time you lose your shit at a person in a costume you're contributing to our cultural genocide. You know what race I'm not worried about their culture dying? Japanese culture, because everybody is allowed to practice it, it has spread to every corner of the planet. Nobody who gets upset about cultural appropriation has ever contributed to a culture. Culture has shaped us over thousands of years and no human has the right to dictate who is allowed to resonate with what cultures
It is refreshing to hear you say that. I must admit I was a bit surprised by the guys' comments as am getting a bit sick of this cultural appropriation getting way out of hand. As a little girl I loved dressing up in different cultural costumes but nowadays my parents would be lambasted for letting me dress that way. It is getting out of hand like saying cannot use the word blackboard. Seems now people call them chalkboards. Yet we also have whiteboards. I don't think one is inferior to another lol. It is just crazy and does not solve anything at all.
I'm the whitest person ever and I practically grew up on a reservation in Wyoming and lived in a teepee for a while, not because I had to but because I liked it and liked the culture. I grew up more native than my literal native friends in Montana, but I'd be called racist if I did anything I grew up doing now
I love this comment
Love this! I saw another video with a similar point to yours. It was Halloween and this guy was dressed in a poncho, sombrero and a fake mustache, asking people on a college campus if his costume was offensive. Thet ALL said yes. But then he went to a little Mexico shopping strip (all the people spoke spanish and some even needed a translator). He asked actual Mexicans if his costume was offensive and not one single mexican person said yes. They said they liked it.
Yes, I couldn't agree more! The most racist white people are the ones who put every race in a neat little box, and tell them HOW they should act because of their race.
Why does this topic is always so binary? Like white against black.

There are no races, in Apartied Southafrica they did the pencil test, if a pencel placed in your hair remained there, you were the underclass. If not you were the master race. Scientific eah. So beyond skin colour they based it on hair. Skin colour is just as random a trait. Most genitic diversity in the world is in Africa, because we all came from there!

@Ryan Sedy yeah thats an alternative
That's not true. Plenty of people "unintentionally" perpetuate racism all the time. One example would be microaggressions.
@@sandrallewellyn2632 WTF are 'Micro aggressions' anyway?... Just ways of finding offence in something which is clearly not offensive. It keeps the easily offended with 'victim mentality' feeling safe in the fact they know they will get their daily dose of offence on any given day. At that point, it becomes those who are offended who are the problem. No one else.
Micro Agression is like feminism... its massively subjective and something one person can find offence in while another person of the same demographic won't find offensive. Hypersensitivity would be a better term.
Tobi Hall example of a micro aggression... in an almost entirely white dominated work space, white girl to black girl, “can I touch your hair? Becky, look at her hair! Come touch it!” I use this example because this one happened. The white girl in question didn’t have ill intent, but she created a situation where the other girl felt awkward and reduced to her race. I’m not big on cancel culture and ultra progressive mania, but as a human being, I can definitely understand how that situation must have sucked, and I don’t want to make anyone feel like that. 🤙🏻
"I'm hella-Irish, obviously" is the least Irish thing that anyone has ever said.
I'm struggling to understand how shared experiences of discrimination is culture. Culture is food and language and tradition and all that, the things that you keep alive from generation to generation. Not how much you get beaten up for your skin color.
Yeaaaah but unfortunately it’s a part of black culture now. The hatred for police, ect ect.
@@boxoffrogs-studio We ALL have shared hardships as HUMANS. Before technology, life was INCREDIBLY OPPRESSIVE for everyone. You don't have grocery stores--you GET YOUR OWN FOOD.

The same people calling people entitled are asking for entitlements 😂 InsAnity
Dominik Eber right but by the laws of intersectionality, white people sit at the bottom due to presumed minimal marginalization and therefore limited experience. This in of itself is marginalization directed at all whites, creating a common experience. Boom, white culture reborn.

I commented that since you pointed out that many African cultures "hated the shit out of each other some even still do". I get this a very heated topic and African cultures often get disrespected in international conversations, but would advise you to not always assume the worst immediately.
japan has previously stated that they think it's nice to see ppl appreciate their culture and they don't seem to see it the same as the western world does.
The problem is when they start profiting from other ppls culture. Kim K for instance; she started the Kimono clothing line and faced so much backlash from the Japanese for cultural appropriation that she recanted the entire line. It’s weird asf to dress up as another culture for Halloween- u can dress as fictional characters, lady bugs, pumpkins, fairy’s etc. but it becomes weird when you start dressing up as people because it implies that you feel their culture is silly. No other countries are out there playing dress up and dressing like “Americans” for holidays. Just because you want to appreciate something doesn’t mean that you need to take it! For example, just bc someone likes my hair doesn’t mean they can touch it, just because I like how someone at work dresses doesn’t mean I should go buy the same outfit as them and wear it, it’s fucking weird.

I’ve met others who share a similar level of disdain. I’ve also never met someone (the ex-friend) so clouded and deluded in belief and judgement in my life. Someone so unprepared and reliant off those around them to develop their own opinions/ideas, even if they’re the wrong people giving the wrong advice or information.

Nobody:
White liberals -Let’s have a superficial discussion about race.
If white liberals actually wanted to solve class racial issues.... what would they campaign on? And if minorities could move up.... they might not like the idea of paying higher taxes. And so on.... The superficial issues allow far left liberals to pretend that they really care without caring at all. They have to keep a death grip, especially, on the black vote. Actually helping inner city blacks get out of their class cycle would hurt them in the long run. The last thing a liberal wants is an educated middle class minority thinking they can think for themselves.
People who always think about race and are so worried about it are racist in my opinion. just treat people as people.
@@SH-kz4fl There's nothing wrong with moving into a higher tax bracket because it is a sign of increased financial success. Then eventually you get over a hump where you are so wealthy that you pay a lower rate of taxes compared to your net worth (using various tax breaks, tax loopholes, etc).

See i think in America since we are very diverse and Natives were there before the white settlers, its something americans use a lot because we identify with our heritage more as the US doesnt have one cohesive culture. We say were american because thats where we were born but because of family background we usually identify with where our roots are because culturally there truly is no such thing as being american. Yeah we have one that we kinda forced but thats because were not like countries like France or China in which our people were native and goes back to the very beginning of the country and have a deep and complex culture thats been around for generations. Were a verrrrry young country made by settlers not the natives. We are a mishmash of people from all over and culture wise the USA will never have anything like other countries do. Because of that we typically like to identify with our heritage because thats where our families culture is rooted from. Also your acting as if there arent families who even tho their relatives migrated years ago, dont practice their culture still

He says "you aren't discriminated against because of your skin color"
He is assuming that she never faced any sort of discrimination just solely based on her skin color, which is not only racist, but it denies that person any sort of individualism and also denies any experience that they had.
For example, I joined a clan on a game that was comprised of black people, they were all friends.
On of the clan members told me that they were trying to make a "black only clan" so I had to leave.
That is discrimination.
How does this guy know that she has never been discriminated against just because she has a certain skin color.
People can be discriminated against for any reason at any time. For this dude to deny that is dishonest and very closed minded.
Just because black people in America can have similar experiences doesn't mean they have similar cultures. There are black people in America who never face discrimination because of their race. I know this because I have met quite a few that tell me so.
The point is, that black people are not a monolith, just like white people are not a monolith.....his views of the world are sad.
Also, the term "reverse racism" is probably one of the dumbest phrases of the 21st century.
Reverse racism would equal out to not racism. The reverse of racism is not racist. So I don't really like that question. It implies that only white people can be racist and if you are racist toward white people, then it's somehow reverse racism?
White people didn't invent racism...
What a load of crap
Yes. I lived in the inner city of detroit. the cops stopped me because they thought I was in trouble and also because they thought I was doing something wrong. I experienced so much based only on my skin color.
Then who invented racism if it wasn’t white people?
well, it's the concept moreso than experiences. he makes an assumption that is true most of the time. i totally agree people aren't monoliths, but this was not something offensive. it's not something terrible to say that you may not face this trouble in the world b/c of this one aspect of yours. that may actually be more likely to be true. there are so many other factors as well. saying this is much more nuanced with a sociological lens than boxing a racial group in and saying they can't dance, for example. the first is more likely to be true, the second isn't really a claim one can make, and while it may be funny to some (as it is with any shallow stereotype), it is offensive to some as well.
@@onemillionpercent I agree. However most people use skin color as a monolith in our current culture, especially against white people for some reason.
I see it with others as well but for some reason white people aren't allowed to voice their opposition to it because somehow they are complicit in it.
It's not terrible to say you might not face trouble in this world because of one aspect of your.
However it is terrible to say it when it relies on your skin color.
If it relied on conscientiousness or strength of character or something that someone could actually control, then I would agree. But when it relies on making a blanket statement about all people with a certain skin color then I think it's gone a little too far and I think it's wrong.
People aren't saying that you MAY not face adversity because you are white.
They are saying you absolutely will not face adversity because you are white.
Anytime white people complain about anything they are acused of having white privilege and are just brushed off as "snowflaking" because they are complaining about injustices.
That's not what snowflaking is.
Snowflaking is complaining about something trivial that isn't affecting your life and crying about it or throwing a tantrum.

@@elconsorte123 It is a huge problem sure. I just hate the narrative that this is a "black" issue. I also think the order you've got is wrong. Financial and Community aspects lead to unstable homes, which then creates a cycle, not the other way around.
2 parent households don't mean financial security or good schools or reduced crime rates. The issues are way too complex to suggest things like this, which are just derivative of other issues. Is it a factor? Sure. Is it the biggest one? I don't think it is, and would be addressed by fixing other problems.
I would argue, fix the community, and you can start to fix the home. I'm not absolving people of personal responsibility here, you have to take control of you're own environment where you can, but we have to be mindful of contributing factors in all of these things
@@MrGooner9000 poverty does not cause violence, it is the other way around. Take a look at how much value was destroyed in Detroit after 1968 and in CHAZ now. That dude is right.

Quite the opposite, when she has 2 kids by 2 different felons, she starts to hunt for such working man, only to resent him if he is stupid enough to give her the time of day.

How is "do you white people have culture?" Even a question? I'm a brit and I can tell you that white people, through all nations, have customs, architecture, inventions, music, clothing, behaviours, mannerisms, languages, myths etc just like every other race or ethnicity. I'd argue that anyone who questions this probably can't see it simply because they're immersed in it. A bit like when someone says "without an accent" when we all have accents. Every single one of us. Just like culture.
American way is to lump it all together base on what I have seen. like they assume upper classman British accent is how everyone in Britain sound type situation.
I agree. I'm white...but I'm Romanian and yes we do have a culture that is nothing like the white American culture (like the generalization at least). So when I hear on the Internet "white people" to me they mean white Americans.
I mean, most americans think Europe is the same as America in terms of a country / continent. When in fact..
its not. at all. not even close.

Yeah all white do not think the same way. Aba and Preach talk about topics in a way that makes you think differently. I like that.

"White people have culture"
Me, an italian, gesturing my way through the strongly agree line
There isn’t such thing as “white culture” cuz every white person come from different cultural backgrounds depending on their ethnicity. There’s Italian culture, English culture, Spanish culture. Saying white culture is saying all white people share a common culture which isn’t true
@@kiddarts8812 I think the problem is that the sentence is not clear. For example, I interpret it as "Do white people have culture?" and you read it as "Is there a white culture?"
@chicken nugget I have to disagree. We are Caucasians, it is just a fact. You can find very different skin colours (from very pale to light brown), but we come from the Caucasian race.
@chicken nugget This only goes to show that race is an arbitrary scale to measure people from.
There are some Spanish, or Italian people that are ghost white. Some are brown. Some of those "white" people can get quite a tan from being outside for a little while in the sun.
It's really all arbitrary
chicken nugget italians and spanish relate to arabs because of the sphere of influence the islamic empires had back in the day. Politics=/= cultural identity

My favorite was when Kylie and Kendall were attacked online for "appropriating Hispanic culture" because they had giant hoop earrings on and dark lined lips. Because I have never in my life sported that look and I _hate_ hoop earrings...the same goes for everyone in my family. So acting like all of us Latinas somehow own that look was more bigoted than anything Kylie and Kendall were doing lol.
The idea isn't that ALL Hispanics dress like that, it was the fact that that look is affiliated and started by chola culture, of which Hispanic women were ridiculed for having that style. I'm not Hispanic so I don't have any reason to decide how Hispanics should feel regarding the subject, but your comment seemed like you felt the ridicule stemmed from a stereotype that a whole race wears the same costume.
Or when they danced bachata. “StOp TrYiNg tO Be LAtiNA”, bruh 😂
Im latina too and the women in my family NEVER wore hoop earrings or lined their lips.
Yeah, I may not completely like Kylie and Kendall, but even I know to give them credit when it's due. That is not cultural appropriation, and even if it was, I 100% assure you hispanics don't give a shit. As a latino (Argentinian), I wouldn't also like if someone said that a white person eating "empanadas" is cultural appropriation. Like, let them do whatever the fuck they want, it doesn't affect me.

As a white person owning a lot of culturally accurate chinese dresses, I cannot stress enough how much I adore being told by some abc liberal that I'm not allowed to wear it. Meanwhile I speak chinese and they struggle to apologize in mandarin. As a native German I am also not happy if people ridicule my traditional wear, but let's not automatically assume someone is incapable of embracing certain cultural dresses based on their appearance.
Racists come in all colors. We need to get over color and start just seeing everyone as people not just color first.

Keep that in mind when you say ALL white people have privilege. I know a few who grew up in poor neighborhoods and are treated just like colored people by police here in AZ.

I've lived in Japan and know many Japanese people (who were born in Japan, have lived most or their entire life in Japan, and are currently living in Japan) of different ages and I have never once heard anyone say a non-Japanese person cannot wear a kimono/yukata/any Japanese clothing item, or dress up as a geisha... Quite the opposite. Japanese people in my experience are excited that people outside Japan are interested and think their traditional clothes and culture are beautiful. Fewer people want to become geisha, and the kimono industry is getting smaller as well, so I have only ever heard Japanese people thinking positively of tourists taking interest and buying kimonos. The only negative things I've heard are annoyance if people think the geisha are prostitutes or if people wear the kimono incorrectly (and even then people want to help you, and not all Japanese know how to put on a full kimono themselves either). The only people I've heard saying non-Japanese can't wear these clothes or dress up as a geisha are non-Japanese people outside Japan or people with Japanese heritage who have never lived in Japan.

There are also other factors, like being under he microscope all the time in a white society makes you lose inhibitions, because you get stared at anyway, so might as well dance like nobody's watching.
I've seen hundreds of black guys in hip hop clubs just standing in the corner for hours though, not even slightly moving to the beat, because to them "gangstas don't dance", because it seems unmanly to them, so there are enough of them that definitely can't dance at all.

i completely agree that a big issue with the discrimination and racism has to do with poverty and class... a lack of wealth in a certain area wears away at its social aspects through hurting the educational systems, centers that assist people in that community, etc. so then people in those communities feel alienated from other communities, because they feel that with the poor education and lack of opportunity, they can't get out of their situation.
also, i really don't know if it's my place to say this (please lmk if i'm wrong), but i feel that the way black celebrities are portrayed is actually indirectly causing issues. we're almost creating this stereotype that you can't be successful while black as an every day person, unless you're a celebrity. and you see a lot of black celebrities (mainly musicians) focusing on money... while i don't think that's wrong in and of itself, that constant theme being promoted and associated with black culture is keeping nonblack people from seeing that day-to-day black people are seriously underprivileged.
and for me, i feel that the celebrity culture as a whole (regardless of race) focuses so much on being wasteful with money because it's so focused on spending as a form of entertainment for others, something that we could use to actually help underprivileged people. again, i'm not shaming celebrities for talking about money, it's just when it's the constant theme of it promoted (because i know there are potential celebrities who don't talk all about that, they're just not as famous typically), there's something underlying in our society that is off.
anyways, yeah, i don't think that the whole issue is the celebrities' faults, but more the society we've created. so essentially, back to systemic racism.

Same thing with “Latino culture.” Many Latin American countries have their own cultures since some are more African, European or Amerindian. The same thing goes for food, dances and music. Many Latin American countries also have their own dialects, slang and indigenous languages so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what “Latino culture” is. Same thing with “black culture.” Black people all around are not a monolith and the culture varies from location to location.
Blk culture in America means the culture of blk Americans (those w/o prior knowledge of life in another country outside of US generations back prior to slavery)
@Wackinator 66 imo, in general yes but not specifically. (I am blk, just an fyi and have lived on thw West coast for 10yrs, originally from the South) Just like if I am in Spain and am at a dinner table of Americans(of any race) we would have a generalized common view or at least be able to assume the other American's view because we are familiar w Americans and have lived as Americans etc. Hope I am making sense.

They are “White Americans” and have formulated a culture of their own but dont recognise it. Macaroni and Pizza is Italian and Frankfurters and hamburgers are German
Also these are typical LA white folk (with anglo ethnicity). Their experiences are very different from a NY white dude who's ethnically italian for instance.
I dont know where u live but I live in Cali and I used to think all white folk was the same until I lived in Chicago for a year and even the white people were separated by race; polish had a polish neighborhood, Irish had an Irish neighborhood, Italian had an Italian neighborhood and so on, and so on. So I don't think all white people think and even associate with all other white folks like I used to think. Irish is one race that seem to really separate themselves from all other white races. I used to think Portuguese was white until I met several different black Portuguese. Like Latin countries where color of skin is irrelevant to your race. Every single Latin race ranges from white blond hair blue eyes to black skin and kinky hair ect. So all this race separation Is more relevant in states that are less diverse I guess???

Long reply below but before you read:
---I do not have ANY background in anthropology.
---This is just deductions and the insight of someone that finds anthropology interesting.
I agree, although just to be precise, Portuguese (those related to the actual ethnic group of the country of Portugal) are Caucasian. They are related to the collective races originating from Europe that define "White Race" in a sense.
In contrast someone of "Brazilian descent" is more likely a mixture of multiple ethnicities (possibly multiple races) like you implied in the diversity of your background. It wouldn't be correct however to equate someone like this with "White" ("European") from a genetic perspective. It just wouldn't be consistent or useful.

Right? Like doesn't everybody have a culture unless they grew up nomadic or something maybe.
@@jn4718 And you can consider nomadic also a culture it was one of the first cultures even, because we used to be all nomadic tribes with very distinct behavior. Everyone has a culture period.
Yep. And I feel like saying white people don't have a culture, but black people do is absurd because there are different black cultures throughout the world. Black "Island" culture is different from black African culture, which is different from black American culture, and everything in between. Heck American culture as a whole regardless of race is different from European culture as a whole regardless of race.
Culture has more to do with the time and place that people live, a shared general experience based on what people are exposed to and cultivate as a whole. It's just ridiculous to claim that culture is solely a shared oppressive experience.
The analogy is on point, but for a different reason. There are many different American accents, like there are many white American cultures. Go to Brooklyn, then Tuscaloosa, then Maine, etc., and tell me about this monolithic "white culture". It doesn't exist.
@@garki1369 Yeah, I was just thinking about that too. There are such distinctions between different regions within the US. Farming culture, beach culture, city culture, suburb culture, urban culture, religious culture, etc.... each of these groups has distinct art, achievements, social institutions, customs, etc. And that's regardless of race, but in areas that are primarily white it's not like these things cease to exist.
Culture can also change and grow, but people act as though culture is solely deep-rooted traditions. So cultural appropriation applies to (like the examples they gave) stuff like a native American headdress or a geisha outfit. But what about something like a kilt? That's a traditional garb worn by primarily white people and has deep-rooted cultural and family significance yet you don't hear about scotsmen getting offended if non-Scottish people wear them as costumes. It's a huge double standard and something that seems like it was initiated by white people who feel guilty for the things other white people have done in the past. That's just absurd! The atrocities inflicted on people of other ethnicities BY people of other ethnicities is also part of human history and continues to this day. Just look at the atrocities currently going on in central and south America, Africa, and Asia! People act like the US is the worst, but you first have to define what good and bad are before you start ranking these countries and races by their histories.
Finally, someone pointing out that just because you're the same race doesn't mean you can relate to one another, you see some African Americans trying to identify with Black Africans just because they're also black and it's like no the African has a different culture, life experiences, world view than you, the color of their skin literally has nothing to do with how they are as a person.

Ireland. This means that the communities his ancestors grew up in were predominantly influenced by IRISH culture. Meaning, his upbringing was liking that of this family, who are IRISH. He is probably ore frugal due to generational poverty (I am. It’s weird the things I reuse tbh). Like, oh, this is a really nice water bottle, I’m going to hold on to this in case I can use it again.

What should Irish-Americans do then? What if that guy was first generation? Americans dont feel tied to the land even today because well our lineage obviously doesnt come from the New World. Unless you’re a Native most of us dont feel truly “American” on top of that American culture, to most of us, is not only misrepresented worldwide, (like fat people make us look way worse than we are, not everyone is fat here i swear) but also just a mix of many cultures so we dont feel like we have roots in anything so we seek that cultural identity from where our family came from originally.
@Levi Shepard thanks for sharing, its a perspective that is unique to an 'American' giving the melting pot and not a situation Ive found myself in so I appreciate you sharing that thought and I can empathise with that. I did always wonder why there were people classing themselves as sub groups tied to their ancestry. People do it here too with e.g. Ulster Scots. Food for thought and I dont group people e.g us = fat etc. As Irish people have been classed as drunks still in the dark ages...people are individuals not just a 'group' of people ...agreed! 👏
Emma. G Lol funny you mention that my family comes from Ulster. And its funny I didnt think about it until this but I think white Americans do have “culture” but they are sub groups that fall into grey area’s because they are things plenty of other races and cultures are down with too like the skate/surf/ action sport scene, maybe golf shit like that, and we dont have a ton of deep cool traditions that only white people do because tbh i dont think the majority (hopefully) is extremely proud of everything “our ancestors” have done. As an Irish person, what do you see as American culture? What does white American culture look like on the outside?
Levi Shepard I’m from Ulster (we have a great rugby team!) Then who are my ancestors the Scandinavians from the vikings that settled, the Germans, the French who knows lol. From where I sit in the world (north west tip of Europe) I don’t link skin colour to culture. For example Europe has so many diverse cultures in a small area of the globe yet the majority are white, same with the continent of Africa predominantly black persons but from country to country diverse cultures we never think in colour I.e your not automatically a white person because your from Ireland. The amount of media now and info online I see America (re: USA) as having many diverse cultures stemming from different backgrounds and geography... a little like Europe or Africa in that sense) not based of colour. Every country has their shallow stereotypes and we all know them roughly.
Emma. G I always wanted to try rugby! Lol I agree with you thats how I see it too but people always try to make it about race and it makes me think Im crazy because I don’t really get it, I dont know how this outdated and ignorant way to categorizing folks based on what they look like still exists.
Agree, especially on social media many talkimg points are about feeling good not discussing the actual problem
'I'm hella Irish, obviously' is a self-debunking sentence.
Unless spoken in an irish accent. xD
@@MyouKyuubi Hahaha sure, but I'll bet every potato I have that he has never been to Ireland, let alone know anything about Irish culture - most native born residents of most nations tend not to know their own history or culture anyway, so I have confidence to mock this man.
Having said that, I'm not even remotely American, but I DO say 'hella' now and again - cultural appropriation? :D
The Tua De Danan are laughing
He's probably never even set foot in Ireland, Northern or Republic.
@Christian Smith This is a video about culture and what 'white people' ostensibly think, not genetic or geographic ancestry. Take every Irish person out of Ireland and replace them with a random mix of Slavs, Puerto Ricans and Lebanese and it would very swiftly and very distinctly not mean the same thing if you said 'I'm Irish' from then on.
It's like when some of my middle class, black American friends went to an African country to find 'their roots' and meet 'brothers' but instead found that the locals didn't see them as 'black' (my friends didn't seem to anticipate that, with almost everyone there being black they didn't really stand out as much) so much as 'American,' and mostly derided them as tourists.
My observation was more related to the fact that he brought up some 'Irish' component to in part explain how he thinks as a 'white' person, intermingling the two and implying that he had more of a passing understanding of what it is to be 'Irish' - which is why it was funny that he would use the word 'hella' in the same sentence; I didn't really assume anything so much as assign a high probability to the hypothesis that he has never visited the country of Ireland nor is he particularly - let alone 'hella' - Irish by any metric. Could totally be wrong, just guessing based off literally a single sentence.
Not all black people go through the same thing
African Americans maybe
But not all black people
Living in a 3rd world country has different issues than living in a 1rst world country
No such thing as African American. I am from Africa I was born here and I am white. So get over yourself. Nothing African about you. I dont call myself EuroAfrican. Get over yourself
No not all black Americans have the same experience. You are deluded and racist as fuck
@@MrMakingwavesmedia 1) i am neither african nor american
2) according to what i have seen on the internet (that's why i said maybe) there is some discrimination against some races in the us which lead to physical harm
3) Their ancestors are originally from Africa so that defies your sentence
4) even if you weren't born in a country but u r originally from there that country will have some sort of meaning to most people who experienced that (whether it's good or bad)
5) ty for the insults 😴
6) being categorized as a person from 2 locations is usually used with people who were dragged out of their country forcefully (ex : Armenians ... After the genocide they were forced to move out but they still acknowledge their armenian origin even if they were "forced" to leave their country therefore when u see an armenian decendant's id it will say 'armenian x' x being the country they were born in)
@@MrMakingwavesmedia 7) their ancestors have suffered slavery the least they can do is acknowledge them and where they came from...
@@MrMakingwavesmedia majority of us do dummy, have every visited a low income black neighborhood no you have no majority of blacks live in that type of neighbor so alot of us do share very similar experiences. That's why in this video they mentioned how finances is a serious issue between black americans and white americans. 🤦🏾♂️ And you can say where not african bruh we came here on ships and ported over it's not our fault we don't know our culture but alot of us learn our roots. Silence homie

There are cultures in America as well that aren't race specific: Midwestern, Southern, Cali, Northeastern, New Yorker, Northwestern, Rockies, Appalachia, etc.
I feel that America is obsessed with race and cultural differences.
In Europe in the news when someone is mentioned, the race of the person in question is not mentioned, it would even be weird if it was. The only thing mentioned is the nationality.
Yes and no...
It all depends on the country and who it is to be honest.
Pedro thats not true at all.
Esspecially when it involes an immigrant.
@@UnableToWin They will say that they have this kind of background, but they wont go out of their way to tell you how brown they were. Thats not the same thing at all.
An american would simply be an american, an african will be an african, no matter the skin color.
so yes, it definitely is true where im coming from.
@@Nelsathis I don't think the US media goes out there and says "a light skinned Afro-American"...
It's the media pushing a narrative. They want racial division. Always have.
Geisha's a job, though. Like, a job that requires training and hard work.
fun isn't allowed, and dress-up might be fun
You mean, like firemen, doctors and nurses, mechanics and almost every job ever?
My son has an Optimus Prime costume. Does that mean he's appropriating Trans identity/culture?
Duvaughn Kelly They literally said they were able to celebrate and learn the culture. They just wouldn’t dress as a geisha because they find it disrespectful.
WHY CANT JUBILEE ASK REAL SHIT. We all no race is a social construct; trying to perfectly connect it with culture is nonsensical. The culture shared by African Americans (worst title ever btw), is just that. Not ALL black ppl culture smh. Shame on Jubilee.
Scandinavia here: You wanna dye your hair and dress up as a viking?
Go ahead.

Im happy you both as black people are able to try and see it from our side and how we feel. You guys are like the only ones who have reacted to this with this mentality. Thank you🤝
I think it's a class issue more than a race issue, although race does play a part in it. The way these "white saviors" talk about the black community seems very patronizing to me.
Just be careful with ‘class issue’.
The old Marxists of Mao China and Stalin USSR played that game and it got over 100, million people killed.
Complaining about class division is far more dangerous than race issue.
Dean McCrorie And some of the people who pointed at race as *the* issue started the holocaust, enslaved entire ethnic groups, excluded the Chinese from immigrating to America, and a host of other things.
Yes!
I totally agree! It sounds so gross to me like they just want to look like a good person but it comes off very patronizing and lame
Centrist here I am European but look like a Mexican in a good way and I fucking hate these people they are not fooling anyone. I used to be white but due to growth and extreme tanning became completely Mexican looking later in life and I have not been treated differently. By becoming mexican looking I mean for some reason I changed facial features and despite not being in the sun for months I am permanently tanned.
Everyone that went to “disagree” on the n word 100% says it when they’re alone singing a song
yeah and who cares. I say it as a term of endearment to my close friends. Using it how I do strips the word of its power.... those who feel all scared about it are GIVING the word power.
Is that a bad thing?
@@softluxuryone2169 and meme status... no they're the same
For reals. Double standards. I dont care if you say or not, i dont, but all these people who do care don't actually follow what they believe
@꧁a͙u͙s͙r͙o͙t͙t͙e͙n͙꧂ bullshit u wont say it around a bunch black dudes
"Cultural appropriation", huh? Well, a couple of years ago i saw a black dude wearing a kilt. And he (dude, not kilt) was not from Scotland (he - dude, not kilt - was french). Guess he was appropriating as well.
Cultural apropriation does not have an answer because you have the Freedom to wear what you want (except in uniforms, and being naked)
That culture apropriado shit is bullshit
Culture appropriation is just a term to keep us divided and to keep people afraid of other cultures
Just like dreads which actually are not started by black people and braids which have been used by many cultures . What about all the black women who dye hair colors other than black or get perms I guess that is appropriation of white people? Who cares until they point you out for something. I had black woman get in fight other day next to me with white woman and when white woman spoke (normally) she accused her of appropriation because she said "ugh, mamam" and was assertive. WtF!!??
@@bestlifeever4548 black people can be born with blonde hair dummy
5:35 I bet that lady knows a lot about the cultural importance of geishas. There was (and still is) a product from a Finnish candy company called "Geisha." It created some controversy about cultural appropriation a few years back. A Japanese immigrant (or at least I think he's an immigrant) made a UA-cam video about it. He said that Geisha is a job like any other, albeit more traditional and specific to Japan than most jobs and that most Japanese people would see a product called "Geisha" about as offensive as if it was called "Engineer."
Putting limitations on certain words makes those words more powerful through scarcity and exclusivity.
If you want the n word to lose its punch, then having it be over used is the quickest way to do this.
I'm a whole full black guy, and if a white person calls me nigga I don't get offended, yet people are so emotionally attached with it
I agree, though in some cases less restrictions on a word may make it more powerful or offensive such as the words spastic or retard, which are now insults but used to be/are the names of a condition
True, if all African Americans suddenly stopped giving a shit about it, then nobody could use that against them
Like "racism" in 2020. 🤔
When the girl said about "what if I said black people can't dance, I'll get hell for that" and Preach turns around and says "yeah because it's not true" with the zoom in his face and the music.... It was so good I burst out laughing😂😂
He never saw Kanye dancing 😂
same
@John Anderson I don't know how it is racist though. I am Colombian by blood and due to growing up in Spain, since dancing is not really a big part of their culture, I didn't get to learn to dance and I always get criticised for it and I've learnt to accept it, it's just not a part of who I am. Are they being racist for criticising a Latino that can't dance? I don't think so myself tbh, but that's just my opinion
I thought reverse racism was when a someone goes out of their way to be overly nice to prove they're not racist
Yeah sort of they go racist against their own race and side with the opposite race kind of thing
😂 I love that actually
I call that "Benevolent racism." Stole the concept from a feminist that talked about "benevolent sexism," which sounded dumb what she was talking about. Current year, though, I think all this woke culture is just a form of benevolent racism -- "we're so not-racist, we're not going to hold minorities to the same standards that we hold white people." And when you know you're not in your position through hard work and talent, but instead because they lowered the bar for you, you can't hold any respect for that place. It just become a joke.
From personal observation, the majority of people seem to call it "positive racism". Racism by overvalueing or giving unfair advantages to someone based on their origin, ethnicity or skin color.
Ever watch the movie The Animal with Rob Schnieder?
"cultural appropriation" is how cultures grow and change.
Lmaooo what
@@sheavaun__9462 lmao what? you know about the word ''globalization''?
But some things in someone else’s culture is not for everyone to partake in….and who want their culture to change
@@sheavaun__9462 Who cares about what they want? Culture is always changing not matter if you want it or not, imagine renounce to progress to not offend ''woke'' people (Yes, because they are the only ones being offended, hispanic, asians, italian, indians, we give a fuck about american wokeness)
In Japan they love when other types of people wearing kimonos, they even have places where tourist can go to get stunning dresses. They only thing they do or say is if it is worn improperly, but they don't attack them for it. They see it as a wonderful thing that people love and respect their culture.
I could really see sjw's going to Japan and getting offended. Then if Japanese people say no it's fine that non-japanese people are wearing their kimonos,they'll just attack them for not being worried about cultural appropriation. It's ridiculous.
But really the only people that get offended by it is sjw white people and racist people of color, like with some white people having dreads. It happened on a college campus. But the thing is people of all nationalities had dreads at one point in history, before they started using brushes.
Same thing in Korea, they invite everyone to try on their national dresses.
Khrystyne Newport This is so true and it's not just japan. I saw a few videos on chinese,mexican, and native americans. The people offended were white liberals.
@@homersimpson4379 It's just crazy that they can have a say as well as get someone 'canceled' because of it, and it's not even their background. I'm half Native American and German, I have the fair complexion of my German side, but my two grandmother's on my mom's side were full-blooded Cherokee and Blackfoot Indians, who I grew up with before their passings a couple of years ago. I've had sjw's say that I'm cultural appropriating when I get a tan or bring up my heritage, which I'm proud of. Thinking that I'm just white, which I'm not completely, when I tan I look 100% native. And it's all white people that say this to me, it's so frustrating.
In many Latin American countries if you wear their traditional clothing, it is seen as a sign of respect and as a sign of interest in their culture, which most Latinos see as a good thing. Us Latinos don’t rlly have a problem with “cultural appropriation” because so many different types of people created parts of our culture like cuisine, dances, genres of music, clothing, etc.
LM I think the only people that get offended by cultural appropriation is mostly Americans who’s culture isn’t being appropriates
So I was a senior in high school and my history teacher was talking about racism and someone said reverse racism and she asked what people thought I explained that it ment being racist to white people but that it's not actually reverse racism (she was happy at that answer) then I said it's just racism (she was unhappy with that answer) she then proceeded to argue with me for 20 minutes about how you can't be racist to white people... best look on her face was when I opened my phone pulled up the definition of racism and asked her to read it to the class and then explain how disriciminating against white people doesn't match the definition... she got so pissed she sent me to the dean
I’ve had horrendous conversations like this with college professors as well, it was some sort of English/“critical thinking” course...
David Whitfield well in my case it was actually a black professor, who actually lived in a very prestigious city, teaching to people like me in community college in one of the not-so-great cities, telling me I had white privilege despite my parents immigrating here from Russia with literally nothing, fight tooth and nail to build a life for themselves and myself.
@@gdetovosne some people these days literally think all white people are inherently well off. That mere assumption implies an amount of ignorance that is unbelievable...
Sasha Mionchinski obviously no critical thinking in that class lmao
Ethan Patch no definitely not, he was basically teaching us to look for racism in everything.
“ I’m hella irish” said no Irish man ever hahaha, you’re a wanna be pal, come home and feel real Irish culture
I’m not Irish, I’m English, but like I bet that guy couldn’t even say which flag is the Irish flag and name the colours within it without being told. So many Americans want to think they’re Irish. I feel bad for the Irish population who have to put up with hearing that. It must get so boring.
It's not his home clearly
Went to boston and it's full of people who say they're Irish but not even their grandparents were irish and theyve never been.
That has to be a euphemism
Hey I'm from US, New Jersey and can attest to this. Just saying I'm Latin. Many people over four generations American brag about being either Italian, Irish, etc. For example, I've asked for them to speak their language and such and they couldn't do it. Not one. No passed down words of wisdom or phrases either. I think a lot of uncultured people here want to feel cultured and look to their ancestral past (no matter how far back) to feel more included and valuable. *Speaking from personal experience. Many seem to use your cultures to feel more special, to be "above" others as well.*
Thanks for mentioning this. I thought I was the only one who that the "Irish" guy was hella awkward lol.
This is an issue where I tend to agree with right leaning people about this because many people on the left encourage being ashamed of who you are.
