Mexican👏🏻is👏🏻not👏🏻a👏🏻race👏🏻
IT IS A NATIONALITY
Thank you tell them
It’s called Latino
@@user-un6eu7on5o he said im "half white and half mexican". not hispanic/latino and mexican is not a race
he probably has family from Mexico and doesn't know all the details. Don't make this a huge deal we all knew what he meant
@@rdg7078 u don't have to be mixed to know what races are.
For the love of God Mexican isn't a race
Tru
He never said nor implied that it was. That's the nationality of one of his parents, who happens to also be of a non-white race. You can be half German, half Chinese, half American, half whatever nationality YOURE half of. Simply stating this doesn't mean to equate this nationality to a race of its own by the same name.
+RevucumberTechUSA One thing is he if he says "Half American Half Mexican", when, by deduction, because most of the American population is white and most of Mexican population is mestizo (mix of Indigenous and White), that this his mix. But he didn't. He said "half White half Mexican". And what about the white Latinos (and it's not a small number)? And if it's a video about "Biracial" people, considering this, in this crazy "race" logic of this world, why he is on it, being 1/4 or maybe less, Indigenous, which is the other thing but white about him? This video it was just bad planned. Buzz Feed have to be serious about things if they want to talk about it.
Mexican isn't a *language* but all of my Mexican friends claim themselves as exactly that. If you have family decent from Mexico then you are Mexican, what am I missing
More over, 'white' is antiqued and ambiguous. Stop using it people.
Dude I’m biracial. They’re acting as if it’s some horrible disease. It’s barely an inconvenience.
Seriously tho.
for some people including myself, yes
Pretty much
Darren Dalton • 63 years ago ?
me too but i struggle with my identity. it feels like i dont belong and that makes me feel kinda worthless
im biracial but I don't get why it's so sad
same, these people are so whiny
You're so insensitive to the soundtrack haha
@@godjihyo453 people have different experiences than you you know
Omg the music
Nothing these people said made me feel remotely bad for them. The sad piano?? 😂 What are they even whinging about?
This video seemed oddly dramatic.
tru
yea im biracial and there r only 2 bad things that come out of it for me one is stupid standardized tests asking what race i am and when my grandma expects to already be speaking Spanish
I'm biracial and this made perfect sense to seem dramatic
ikr
I thought I was the only one
I don't think they know the difference between race, ethnicity, or nationality.
+Luis R. Sadly most people don't.
what's the difference? Not trying to be rude just want to be reassured
+Rainy Lampone race is white, black, Hispanic,Asian all that. ethnicity is what your parents are. are your background. and nationality is where you were born. If I'm not mistaken
*****
You are a little mistaken.
+shinmusashi44 can you clarify please
Why do people think Mexican is an ethnicity? It's a nationality. It's like saying you are half-American
because there are many ethnicities in mexico so saying mexican is like an umbrella
@@ricoweaver7808 no offense but your pfp is concerning. NVM
well what do you want them to say?
also do you care if i ask if you are hispanic or latino-a
When I think of Mexican I think of these dirty mixed raced people that stink a lot.
@@free.lifestyleeBy "Mexican" most people racially mean mestizo, which is 1/2 European and 1/2 Native American
As a mixed race person myself I find this video entirely stupid. It's not the end of the world just because someone doesn't know what you're mixed with.
Exactly
I’m black and white and like I do get called white bc of my hair but I am mixed u know
I am mixed race and I couldn’t care less whether or not people say that I am black or white.
I agree. I couldn't really care less if people can't guess my race right off the bat, since it's understandable. If there's any struggle with being mixed, I'd say just trying to find where you truly belong. I feel that finding who I am has been quite a struggle for me through the years.
THANK YOU!!!
When they act like this is a real struggle 😭😂
+rage fifa Are you Biracial?
+Joshua He has a Messi background so probably
***** cool breh
forreal!!
fr bruh like who cares
im biracial and i dont really care if someone doesnt know what my race is lmao stop getting so sensitive.
+MrDucky Me too, I appreciate their gesture, but they don't need to get upset when people mistake them for a different race.
I understand why one might get annoyed at people never knowing what race they are, but what should be most important is for other people to not stereotype them into a certain race. The thing is, it shouldn't matter what race you are as long as you are true to yourself who cares what other people think.
Same here. They are being over dramatic about all this
+MrDucky I am biracial and i am very happy that they made this video.
Same here
Only BuzzFeed can turn this into a negative race issue. My kids tell me being half Chinese is awesome.
half chinese and what, american?.
@@jrhprsAmerican isn’t a race
@@supercharger5727 i think i meant the descendants of european settlers who migrated to america when I commented this
Mexican isn't a race though

Lol
the struggle
They need to learn the difference between ethnicity, nationality,and race
@si Markeyan no, the city where I'm from there is a huge and growing asian community. Most of them identify as Mexican too.
Your right ....nationality and race are two different things: Mexico is a nationality and Black is a race, hence I would be Afro-Mexican
@@diegoperalta4104 Both north and south america have no race or ethnicity
When they says "mexican" they mean native. Its not hard to understand. Even white people can be mexican, but just by country.
Why do people think that they NEED to be in one race group. They don't, and the worst part is that Buzzfeed makes it look like it's a big deal that people don't know your races when actually, it doesn't matter at ALL
EXACTLY!!!!
let me guess your not mixed race , your ignorant
Since when is Mexican a race. Nationality
👍
Are you mad???
Enrique Chavez no
👌 ok
Exactly what I was thinking! Hes white mixed with white=WHITE!🤯🙄🤭
I think they’re really confusing race ethnicity and nationality. Mexican is not a race.
these people really need to stop being so offended
+Boosh Bear These people are offended because all their lives they have been identifying themselves as both of their origins and the fact that people don't understand who they are and their point of view hurts their self-image
+Cherry Goyangi people get my race wrong all the time i dont get butthurt and cry over it cause my "identity" is ruined
I don't get butthurt about it either but my identity is important to me and I hate when people simply judge you without understanding
+Cherry Goyangi they dont judge they make a human misunderstanding, you need a reality check
Have you ever faced the struggle of no one knowing what you are, and when you tell them they joke about you or stereotype you or even flat out don't believe you? It's who you are and they won't except it? I doubt you have
So sad 😞🥺 I’m Mexican, Salvadoran, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Filipino, And Korean. But people mistaken me for an attack helicopter 😢😭😭😭😭
LMAOOOO
stfu
@@gab3tha525 lol why you mad
Stfu
Lol so funny
I am Korean and white. I don’t victimize myself. The truth is it doesn’t matter. If you live in America, you’re American, no matter what ethnicity you are.
Race is different than ethnicity
Same. Half Russian half Japanese. I love myself and I’m American. I speak many languages and have diverse family and friends. I’m dating a white guy as there’s 80% white guys in my college as it’s America. If I was in Japan I’d be dating a Japanese guy I guess based on population.
It’s not just that. It’s people thinking that they can be racist around you. It’s having an identity crisis. Hating being one race and wanted to just be one. Not understand at a young age that I can be more than one race.
I'm biracial & I don't approve this message...
+Brianna Alexis i dont understand this whole self pity over this tbh
+Angel Bocanegra me neither, some people are just over sensitive
There is no message.
yeah I agree. I'm biracial and yeah almost nobody can identify my race but I'm not gonna get all dramatic and feel sorry for myself
For real
Mexican is more of a nationality.
Chubby Huang Many Mexicans (along with most Latinos) are mixed with White and Native anyways.
I'm black but everybody thinks I'm black but I'm actually black. I hate it here. Life is so goddamn hard

half mexican half white? mexican isn't a race. his mexican parent could be white, meaning that he's just 100% white
As a white mexican this is true mexican isnt a race go to los altos de jalisco and 1/10 people are white
Well culturally you can be half Mexican

Of course not, and poor people have their REAL struggles. Being mixed race in America is NOT a struggle.

+akaila cox *rich person*
Why are they acting like its a sad thing and a struggle like who cares
+nasma falah Mainly racists.
Maybe it's not such a big deal nowadays, but in my father's generation race was pretty important, i.e segregation was still a thing that happened. My father is Hispanic and in the south about 40-45 years ago there were black restrooms and white restrooms, both told him he wasn't supposed to be there. Luckily that doesn't happen today. Growing up as half Hispanic and half "white" I never realized that I was concidered biracial. Think of it like in Harry Potter, some full blooded people look at biracial people a mud bloods. Some prejudices will never disappear :(
cause it sucks going every day being told your nor black enough or asian enough. when you feel like you dont belong to a culture , and feel rejected. you may not be able to relate, but others can bro
And there are people who do care, unlike you.
it is sad in a way because your heritage and culture is constantly glossed over or disregarded. i dont expect everyone to know my background heritage but i also dont expect people to disregard my blood and call me full white.
Im mixed and its not that dramatic-
exactly!!im confused of what they said lol,,i wont be disturbed if someone guessed my identity wrong really.
Lol same, it's just a plus for me cause in Thailand they call me pretty lolol
Being mixed race isn’t that deep
I mean, you can't understand how they feel if you haven't lived their lives.
It's evil
@@emotivelyy_ tf do you mean by that
I'm biracial and find this so dramatic..... It's really not a big deal.
+Tasha V. I agree completely, as someone who's a melting pot of races (being russian, hispanic, and native american), I think that they make it seem like this is a massive issue but it really isn't.
Me too
+Tasha V. , I totally agree with you. In Hawai'i its a total norm to have friends and family who are at least more than two races. From what I notice its a question we ask each other in Hawai'i just out of curiosity to feel more connected :) I'm fully Chinese and if I know someone who is half or one third, I'm thrilled.
Ummm Mexican is not a race ? That’s like me saying my race is British ? 😂
Mestizo is what Mexicans are. Anglo saxons are what the English are? I'm not sure but I know family names turned to territory names and then kingdom names but now it's too simplified with: white, black, asian or Pacific islander. I fit none of those races at all. Things need to be updated as time goes on.
@Witch Chan that's not a race but two ethnicities. Spanish is medeteranian white and natives americans are east Asians, so that sense, yes it's two race.
Mexicans are not white
Mexicans are not a race! Most are mestizos,.many are white or native, there are afro-mexicans, or from Chinese or Japanese ancestry. There are Mexican Jews as well. The mayor of Mexico's city is called Sheinbaum. The same is true for any other Latin American country.
@@augustharper15 You are stupid, I am Mexican and also I am white. Ignorant people as you think that mexicans are a race when no, there are mestizos, whites, afromexicans, and 63 ethnicities .
The sad background music is pathetic
For real I think it’s B.S
This is what happens when your country is obsessed with race. Latin America is way more mixed that Europe and US but they don't have this identity crises
I know, I was born in the states but everyone asks me where my family is from 🙃
Yup. People in U.S. seem to need to slap a label on others so they know how they can treat them. For example, you look Latin so you can pick up my yard or take care of my kids. Or you look African-descent, so you'll be dishonest/combative. I'm so tired of it.
they do they just ignored it until people started forgetting their indigenous ancestr.y
Bro they do what are you talking about💀💀💀
I can’t tell you the insane amount of criollos and mestizos who larp as Indians, and the other way around
You are wrong, in Brazil there are people unable to identify their own skin color. Lol
As a biracial person I'd just like to say: these people are making no god damn sense lmao

Small Rant: Everyone's always talking about how race is important and how you should be proud... except for when it comes to mixed raced people... Mixed people are just being overly sensitive and dramatic when quite literally... It is very common for them to be outcaste, bullied and confused about their social identity because they don't immediately fall under a larger category. It's facing an extra prejudice to their person... and somehow that's not as bad as being discriminated against as one race? Sure they might be "passing" as something else visually... but they don't associate with that... These comments are so negative for no reason. People are allowed to be upset over their own struggles... and you don't have to specifically agree because you don't relate! these are entirely other people with different lives. Imagine telling someone about their gender... you wouldn't unless you were completely insensitive.
who cares mixed people dont go threw anything.They take spots from black women.
Bro you sound stupid... never speak again. @@idkman290
@@RaverGasm nah he/she/apachi attack helicopter is speaking facts
No, race is not important and should never be something to be proud of. Only when you should care about your skin color is when you're buying sunscreen.
If you want to know your identity, check your passport, unles you're member of some minority as Amish or member of native tribe.
Don't be proud of your genetic, but on your achievement.
I wish Americans would care about their character as they care about their ancestry.
Huh... you just said It's not important while also expressing why it was important... Amish people are not minorities... That is a chosen lifestyle. I'm about 5 different ethnic minority groups and don't live in America. The passport thing also doesn't make sense! but I understand what you we're talking about I guess... I agree that it should not be the defining factor of a persons personality but I was not talking about any of that. @@puclopuclik4108
This comment section is horrible and the fact that much of it isn't from six years ago but just a few weeks old sucks. Just so you know: This video was extremely powerful and I'm sure a lot of people feel seen by it who have felt lost in their identity at some point in their lives.
It's lame .

Literally anybody can be racist, not just white people. That is a sad truth.
I am also Asian/white mixed and most of the kids who were being racist to me in elementary school and middle school were black.
@@bunnybird9342some races are more aggressive than others.
It's just skin colour, people. We are all humans.
Why is race sooo important in America.
Exactly, literally everything is made to be about race for some reason
Hate fuels pride and pride fuels hate. Victims become proud of their hardships. Being proud will make you a victim because people will tear you down when you're happy. It's an endless cycle in the US because "BE PROUD OF YOURSELF" is a major American motto. That applies to physical appearance (race, nationality, size) and achievements. Its pretty complicated and I hope that made sense. Race is an issue because we have loud racist and loud victims. Both are proud of their side of the story and butt heads all the time. Pride also creates closed mindedness so you don't try to find a middle ground nor try to change. You'd think racism would disappear the more advanced we get, but I work in retail and hear teenagers say very racist comments regularly. Racist people are proud of their own race and way of thinking. Then, they hurt someone for being *insert race*. That victim becomes prouder of who they are and will fight back by showing their pride. Thus, the racist will come again with a stronger attack. They go back and forth. Endless, unless one side finally stops existing. Sorry that it's complicated. I honestly hate it. Wished all US people would just be happy with each other and quit being too proud to change.
Glad u are asking that question. Those who make race sooo important should ask themselves that question.
It’s important because this country was violently stolen from people who lived here because they were a different race, then those people who stole it chained up people of a different race, shoved them into ships, and shipped them across the Atlantic. And finally, once here, they wrote laws to enslave said people based of their race so the whole nation would follow suit.
@@cereal_qilla exactly blacks and native been in America before they even brought more blacks over
I don't think that people not being able to guess your race is a problem... Let's leave all this sensitivity in 2015 and make videos about actual problems. I'm biracial and I don't care if someone guesses me as Hispanic or Chinese. I may be biracial, but someone not being able to tell isn't a world problem, nor is it racist. Just sayin'.
+DizzyGEICO You missed the point of the video. It's not about people mistaking you for another race(that to me is the fun part) it's about people assuming you should be a certain way because of how you look. Sure it's not a huge issue, but it is something people have to go through for their whole lives, especially in America
+Joshua but whats wrong? it's not their fault you look like a different race.
yaz
Everything has the possibility of it being a problem or not. For a example, a chair is a problem. Most people think its not but a few may be scared of it or injured multiple times from it.
Krystelle Anne Ternura true, but does that mean there should be a video made about people with a fear of chairs?
Look at the comments. That, alone, is a big part of the struggle.

No hate but buzz feed is always looking for things to complain about like is anyone of them actually upset that "people don't know their nationality " nobody thinks before they go to sleep about how hard it is that people don't know their race. Can buzzfeed stop creating problems
THIS! I agree 100%
+mordam I agree with you and understand :) The point of the video wasn't primarily to say that they're upset whenever someone cant identify their ethnicity correct. It's to show how they felt growing up how they felt like they never fit in wherever they went. How they were told they had to be one thing and they couldn't be that one thing. That wherever they went that was how it was, and people would kind of push you away for not seeming to fit into their standards. I dont think this is just an issue in U.S.A. People who experience this and know how it feels aren't spoiled, ungrateful people who's problems should be counted as "nothing". And it honestly made me angry to see that people are saying that. If you haven't personally walked in their shoes and gone through what they have gone through then don't say anything. You have no right to tell them that their problems are insignificant. Because I'm sure there are people experiencing this also in developing countries whom have also felt that same feeling. Im sorry I jusy felt like ranting that to anybody who is willing to read this comment. I just think you shouldn't tell somebody that their problems are stupid unless you have suffered the same way they have. Only then can you truly see what they've gone through
yes some of us are kind of annoyed when people stereotype you.

Omg this it’s like a weird limbo not being part of either
feel it too. it feels like you're just a product sometimes ..
I wish people would understand this. :(
One side of the comment section: This is stupid this is nothing to make a whole video about.
Other side: This struggle is real and I am 100% with this.
Personally, I’m half Chinese and half American, people who aren’t of mixed races don’t understand, and that’s fine. But that doesn’t give you the right to call this stupid. You all are calling this stupid because you’ve never dealt with this before. I’ve dealt with racist jokes, not knowing who I am in American society, and not being recognized about something I am isn’t a feeling anyone likes. If you’re not of many races and think this shouldn’t have existed, you are wrong.
Peak 1st world problems
this video makes me embarrassed to be mixed lmao
Don't be ashamed. I'm sensing that everyone in the comment section realizes that BuzzFeed was mistaken in doing this.
WHY IS THIS EVEN A STRUGGLE ??? People are always over exaggerating stuff.
Exactly.
German Shepherd / Pit Bull mix here. It’s really hard sometimes, when other dogs look at me and assume I can fight. The truth is, I can really fight. So to prove my point, I always run up to them and bite into their neck, no hesitation, so they can go “a-ha! He’s a German Shepherd / Pit Bull mix after all!” as they pass away. And it gives me so much satisfaction. Better than simply identifying myself, or doing an interview with those weird Buzzfeed dogs.
Bruh these people are the biggest complainers who tf cares I’m part Indian but I look completely white and I don’t care if someone call me white these people are just looking for something to complain about
I agree with your assessment. IMO, the liberal mindset has polluted everyone the need to identify with their race, instead of identifying as American or national. The "I have a Dream" has turned into "I have to Identify". So sad.
@@matthewboylez34 actually conservatives coined the one drop rule making identifying with one culture a normal
I don't understand why anybody feels the need to belong to a certain race, or to be identified as a race or mixed race. What's the point?
Am I the only one that thnks this only encourages racism? We are all people, who cares what race your parents or grandparents are? You are you.
+lptrevijano Some people like to feel connected to their culture and basically be able to say "I'm x and y" and not getting comments like: "Oh but you don't look like!" or "I thought this certain race looks like...".
This video doesn't encourage racism but your comment might be interpreted in another way...
Linkexx That's exactly what I mean, why bother about what other people think?
I feel this video just emphasises the importance of the way you look and how that is supposed to tell you who you are. I have no doubt that is not at all what Buzzfeed meant with the idea, I just think it turned out all wrong.
You don't need to look certain way to connect with your culture. That's what this video should be about.
Linkexx I get what you mean, however I believe that holding on to those cultural prejudices is not good.
I insist, we are who we are and no one should tell us otherwise, specially if it is based on the way we look.
I get your ideology but frankly that's an ideal. So many people are suffering because of people who don't think like you (us), and it's not up to every victim to say "well screw everybody I'll be who I am" because reality is that social constraints make it very hard for them. It would be nice if more people realized what you think, but reality is that a lot of people are perpetrators of these prejudices and people who have racial privileges are not in the position to accuse the victims.

And every part of the world.
And commenting that on a videos totally helps. I notice you care so much. But then again if you did you wouldn't spend your time talking about people starving you'd actually do something.
Who is complaining? They're just stating facts. Those who are not biracial don't understand how tired we are of people asking us "what are you?" I tell them I'm an American. When they ask "yeah, but are you White, Black, Asian, Hispanic?" I have to explain that my grandmother on father's side is English (White), her husband is mix of African American and Native American. My mother's mother is French Canadian (White), and Native American. Personally, I don't care what a person's ethnicity is, just that they are cool and genuine and intelligent and not racist. There are good and bad people of every race/ethnicity. Most Mexicans are mixed with Spaniards and Native American, but since they speak Spanish and from Mexico (or parents from Mexico) nobody asks them "what are you?", ..they just address them as "Mexican". Bottom line is it doesn't matter what race one is, but what are ones morals and respect for humanity.
YOO MY LIFE SUCKS BEING BIRACIAL, NO ONE CAN RECOGNIZE THAT I'M CHINESE, FRENCH, GERMAN, VIETNAMESE, JAPANESE, KOREAN, INDIAN, PAKISTANI, ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY I DON'T GET HOW THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT!
Oh
bruh same no one gets that im half simpson and half morty bruh forreal
the problem is not racial mixing, the problem is people who take importance to the origin of other people.
You have to know that those you mentioned are not RACES
It's either you're half asian, half Caucasian That's it
7 😂😂😂
literally no one: h-
logic and halsey: *when nobody knows you’re biracial*
Then people who are mixed with lighter will come out darker than us.
I'm biracial. It's not a big deal, and I don't understand the need to feel like a victim because of my ethnicity. So what if people guess my race wrong? It's not the end of the world.
Exactly I hate how Buzzfeed has so many "Victim videos" just get over it.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING... Are they serious!!!! It's like they're being bullied sheeesh
Same I'm half black and half white
When somone asked what I identify with I tell them I'm neither black or white but both
Like how blue and green make purple. It's half and half but also somthing individual
But anyways ya it's not that big of a deal
yess ! I'm happy to be biracial , I never even thought people are sensitive about it
I'm mix raced and from England I identify with being black but I love the other side of me too. my mum side which is white side dissown her but my black side welcome my mum as family no matter what colour she was.
I’m half black and half white, recently I’ve been calling myself black but I have to accept that I’m both white and black. I can’t put myself into one box. I’m two races.
Yes. Same. We are two races and for me it’s to identify as both black and white. No one gets to force me to pick one or another
Yes girl!!
im half nigerian and half finnish and being mixed is kinda hard ain't gon lie. The finnish society calls me black not finnish. And nigerian society calls me finnish not nigerian. So sometimes i don't know what am i.
Your mixed. No confusion there.
Bruh just dont care
You’re you! Be proud of who you are and your uniqueness!! You don’t need a label unless you want one. I am 1/2 Ethiopian, 1/4 Italian and Norwegian, 1/8 Native American, 1/8 Arab with my Norwegian family being born in Brasil. I’m proud of my grandparents, parents, and I being mixed race. I look more Ethiopian and Italian than anything so I can relate to your struggle, Ethiopians saying I look more Italian/Italians saying I look more Ethiopian. But I remember that’s because I’m unique, in my looks, culture, personality, and genes.
This is why race mixing is bad.
@@thomasjohnston8970 You've got some confusion if you think there's such thing as a "pure" race.
I find it really strange how people in the USA make such a BIG deal about race. I'm Mexican and since everybody here is mixed race nobody gives a flying truck about what your race is, nor people get anxious if their race is not adressed correctly by others.
Such a strange concept.
+Rodrosv Loll thats sooooo not true. Mexicans are sooooo biased for light skinned people. Have you even seen a novella? XD
I mean sure, the Mexican media is racist (and sexist) as much as the next country, but that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about people feeling "victimized" when their race is not adressed correctly by others.
Like... Why do they care so much?
Rodrosv Its just annoying to be constantly asked and treated as some sort of "guess what!" commodity.
+Penny Lane Oh I see, that actually seems annoying.
1960s....barely 50 years ago there were race wars and government sanctioned crackdowns on blacks. Thats pretty recent and scars dont heal well. Plus blacks still live in poverty.
I honestly don't get what's the issue. How can you expect people to know what you are if you are biracial? You tell them if they ask. This is such a non issue and I don't get why the video is so dramatic.
👏
I 100% agree what with what you're saying! The only thing I can relate to is the rejection part. I mean it's not a full on thing, you aren't necessarily outcasted just for being biracial; that's a overly harsh way of saying it I say. I mean I've always gotten my feelings hurt when my Mexican friends
would hang out with eachother all the time soley because they wet both Mexican , and when I mentioned I was half Mexican, they would laugh and say " No you're black" then wouldn't gave me the same bond of culture because of it. Then for my other side there were like 2 black girls at my school who didn't like half black girls for some reason I know it sound exaggerated but I'm being legit they upfront told me they didn't want to talk to me because I wasn't " really " black. So the thing is both sides said that I wasn't really a part of them and it kind of hurt. But yeah I'm just explaining the rejection part they make it seem dramatic and not necessarily as it is.
I mean I don't mind if people can't tell that I'm mixed it's understandable because of how dark my skin is and curls.
Buzzfeed just sucks rlly bad at portraying some things
ikr 😂
Fortunately being a white guy with northern european dna I have never experienced this.
Yea me being an full blood native American, same for me lol

@@williammcpherson9222 same
the saddest part is that you are the outsider in both cultures
It may not seem important to you guys/ stupid, and that’s ok for you guys to have your own opinion, but please understand there is a tough and crucial Internal conflict with some biracial people.
I have an identity crisis almost everyday, because i never feel like I’m enough, I’m not black enough I’m not Mexican enough I’m not etc. And it’s tough because I feel almost alone. I don’t fit in with black people because I’m light skin and I don’t fit in with Mexicans because I can’t speak Spanish. I understand Not everything is about race, but as a Biracial teen who has always been excluded by my own people because I’m “not enough” it is a big deal to me.
haha same....
Boohoo
THANK YOU. This comment section is really bothersome to me as a biracial person.
Their is starvation, poverty, homelessness, etc. but you’re upset because people don’t know what race you are?
Mexican is not a race 😂😂 it’s a nationally bruh you’re 100% white just accept it bruh
@COD GOD it’s a nationality bro, I’m black and I’m just stating facts. But I dont have a problem with white people unless they provoke me first

Actually if you go back far enough the Japanese and Chinese were at one point one. What is different is culture. There are also Indians from India that are considered black. The entomology is understood, but people don’t seem to know the difference between race, culture and nationality. Just as in the USA there are different groups of people that is the same all over. There are black Asians, white asians and mixed Asians if you go back. Also that article shows that the world was considered black and brown with not much white and it’s when the mixing took place that other groups came about.
(From a different post)
*For those who don’t understand India has multiple people groups here is some better understanding as well as understanding on India being in South Asia.*

That guy that said he was half Mexican half white obviously didn't know Mexican is most Mexicans are half native half white what he said pissed me off as a born and raised Mexican Mexican isn't a race I more identify which me indigenous side
I'm half White half Mexican. Try not to be so sensitive.
You're right, "Mexican" is not a race but I understand where that idea comes from, but certainly most Mexicans are mixed of different ethnicities features.
@soldierboy2873 Yes I understand this 100%.
No they're not.
Native means federally recognized tribes.
As someone who is biracial, these are the most self-entitled, first world problems ever
true
Mixed race people are not mono racial

And I'm 30% carbon and I wish people knew that😂

This first dude is white 😂 Mexican is not a race
Latino is an ethnicity
A lot of people don't understand that
Ok but the experience is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I’m half white/ half Honduran. Honduran values/culture is DIFFERENT from American values and culture. To you, it’s the same but to us it’s a unique experience only we understand
@@artastic_23 No girl . "Latino" is a wrong term invented by France and used by Americans to avoid learning Spanish-speaking countries names . There are blacks and whites in Colombia . Whites in Mexico , Whites in Argentina , Japanese decencents in Peru and Brazil , etc .

This is the most USian thing I’ve ever watched lol
😭boo hoo hoo there's world hunger, terrorism, hate crime etc but I'm soooo sad because nobody knows I'm mixed race boo hoo hoo😭
Zara Khan coming from a mixed race guy I concur with you. First world problems
first world problems are still a problem. Slow internet is a first world problem yet still hugely annoying and can cause business millions.
@@alienog6409 Slow internet is a problem everywhere. Second and third world countries have internet too.
yeah but I meant it as a problem that has no bearing on whether you survive or not. Its not an immediate issue that needs attention but its still an issue.
I know it sounds like a stupid issue but as a mixed race person i get teased a lot by my indian family for being light skinned and people always assume im adopted or im not really indian because my dad is white. Its kinda conflicting ngl
Person- hi
Biracial person- hi, I'm half Mexican and half white so ya...
Person-Okayyyyyy??? *walks away*
Biracial person- oh are you walking away cause I'm half Mexican???? I see how it is.
+Truitt Forrester Mmm... This is pretty accurate. Many people are like this. It's not because they're biracial. It's simply because they're just that type of person, but fair enough. Stereotypes don't come from nowhere.
+Panda On Steroids yes I do get that many biracial people do get bullied and I'm not trying to offend anyone but this vid seems a little extreme. Like bob Marley was bullied and made fun of a lot in Jamaica because his dad was British and he didn't care he just didn't listen to them and became famous and a great singer
Truitt Forrester You definitely didn't offend me. I agree with you. I'm biracial and I feel no struggle. Buzzfeed simply portrayed these so called "struggles" horribly. There are struggles, but this video did them no justice.
+Panda On Steroids I would love to be biracial because you get to be part of 2 cultures... What are you?
Truitt Forrester Black and white.. Also, not necessarily. I just live a normal American life. My parents are too lazy for culture.

@@moonjui same
If they're going to do a video like this, it should be a video on people who are legit viewed and look like biracial people, not mostly white people who think they're "mixed" because they aren't 100% European.
Why is this video so overly dramatic? Im mixed race too and never had a problem about it
Probably because we have grown up in an almost completely different world than them.
Mexican isn't a race, its a nationality.
Eccentric ikr when will ppl learn it's made up off mostly africans and Indians
Mexicans are mainly a mixture of Spaniards and indigenous Americans
"I'll have to end up explaining to people that I am half Mexican and half white"
Mexican isn't a race...? 😭 and some mexicans are white
Fr
He should have indigenous if anything
True
mongrels arent a race
Stupid comment.
What the heck are these comments? Y'all mad weird for seeing an issue with mixed race couples. 1950's called they want their boomer mindset back.
Don’t forget the hoteps
@@kaniza1465 That is a toxic mindset that feeds into racist rhetoric. Mixed people have hard lives because of how monoracial people treat them not because of anything intrinsic to who they are. People who are mixed do and have had great lives, admittedly with a bit more difficulties, but then again life is all about struggle.
@@kaniza1465 I know where you come from. The feeling of not belonging somewhere. But nihilism isn't the answer. take it like this; it can be your strength. Biracial folk like you and me aren't categorized by specific races and cultures. We are our own individual and passing this mindset on could result in our descendants not being plagued by identity politics. When you start thinking of people as individuals, you're gonna attract people alike and form new bonds; new cultures and identities with them. Your life is anything but meaningless in that sense. We'll get through it. I truly hope you find some love in life.
mongrel making is not good
Why is buzzfeed making this such a sad subject lol
+Anne Summers It's quite a sad subject for a lot of people. The bloke who said he fit in with everyone is a lucky bloke. For many people it's more like nah youre not one of us and we will make race jokes about you and we can make even more jokes because you are more than one race.
+noodles6669 seriously? I've never come across this problem where I'm from..
Anne Summers yeah seriously sadly.
Ryan Ferretti Did you not read my comment? Being mixed race makes you a bigger target for racism from anyone. Also there are culture clashes within family and lack of acceptance from any race.
Ryan Ferretti Well I prefer to have friends. That's why I care. If I am not accepted by anyone I will be lonely and no one wants that.
Am i the only mixed person who thinks this is over dramatic. Yes? ok.
NicolesGamePlan I’m mixed and this is a bit over dramatic lol
I’m a mutt, and this video is infuriating.
fr though! I grew up half black/ half Arab and they talking about the problems some of us faced like it was so traumatizing 🤦🏽♀️ I grew up in Vegas so we all look different lmao
Lol no idk why they acting so dramatic
You're obviously not the only one thinking that. Also pretty sure a lot of people in America have more than one nationality or are mixed because of how diverse the country is so I highly doubt 99.99 percent of mixed people would think this is empowering.
Bruh why are they so obsessed with their race
On all levels except physical I am a wolf but nobody understands :(
hi
AHAHAH I'm biracial but this is laughably melodramatic
+Uncommon I agree. I enjoy correcting people if they incorrectly assume my ethnic background. Gives me something to talk about. Being biracial doesn't usually cause me problems.
