"I haven't eaten steak in multiple years" "Are you a vegan or poor?" caught me SO OFF GUARD
😂
Savage!
Brilliant
In my case, I'm just poor. Forgot what meat tastes like 😔
LOL SAME my jaw dropped
"Whether you're white, black, Puerto Rican"
This is the most American statement ever.
Ayo boss, where are these accents from
@@jakewd8830 I'm not American but he has a southern accent. I don't know any more specific than that
These replies are a mess
@@dotdotdotty4538definitely not British that was an American
... "or Asian", is typically the last part in the raps
A common piece of wisdom among white communities is to never get your hair cut the day before a big event
its needs to grow out abit, 2-3 days your golden
Yeah, I was going to say: if it's a bad cut, it will look fine in a week anyway. If it doesn't, that gives you time to get it fixed before the big event. It's always safer to get it done the week before.
I cut my own hair for 10 years so i do it piece by piece the week/s before
@@AmazingRebel23 that's mad I can't lie
@@blueshanks1 Depends though. If you have that short back and sides style - I get my sides and edges done day of, I don't want to be looking fluffy on the sides at all. Top and front I leave for 4-6 weeks. Most white people let the weight of their hair control their look rather than cleaning up with length.
Anyone with long hair should be putting coconut oil on though. I'm trying to convince my Latin wife that it's best for the curls.
lol the bald man is such a vibe
his "sparse" hair type got me cackling 😭
Yesss ❤
The hairline question especially
@@joonkorreBruv was dropping straight gold for every question. So quick with it too 😂 I almost missed the sparse comment
Bald man really wasnt included for race relations. Bald man was really just a vibe.
that poor non-english native speaker dude who had no idea what he had gotten himself into lmaoo
I was thinking it was literally his first day in the UK lol
Poor guy was like “Am I gonna get in trouble if I say the wrong thing?” you never know in a new country 😅
"Would you be insulted if someone laughed at your hairline?" "No I'd be more than complimented if somebody thought I had one!"
Cracked me up hahah
same here hahaha
The most British man in the whole video.
He speaks for the nation@@Dragonpuncher123
😂😂😂
At "what's you're hair type" he also said " sparce. Hillarious
Gotta respect bro for asking "you are black right" just to be 110% sure
Can never be too sure nowadays
@@alistairrobertson6456true. My cousin are half black half white and one pass for filipina and another indian. No one believe they are mixed.
@@Boo0o258 yeah one of my mate's mum is mixed race while his dad is white so you wouldn't be able to tell that he is "technically" black
@@alistairrobertson6456well black is a race not ethnicity
it made me sad for him i dont think he was very comfortable
“get gyal” done it for me 😂 I was not expecting that answer at all 😂😂😂
i'm about to use it for every time when any dude asks me why they should do something 😂
Sameee
His Jamaican friend's influence I guess😂
Since it wasn't mentioned explicitly in the video; This all comes down to different hair textures. Straight, wavy, curly, kinky hair need different treatments. Especially if you have straight hair, you're probably not aware of this
Here's a super quick sum up:
Straight hair gets too oily/greasy quick. For some, after 1-2 days. The straight hair strands makes it easy for the natural oil to travel.
Rule of thumb: Straight hair gets washed to *remove* oil/grease. Shampoo is often considered the most important step
It's the opposite for curly and kinky hair. The more curl, the harder it is for the natural oil to move down the hair strand. That means curly hair is often fighting dryness, not oil or grease.
Rule of thumb: The goal of washing curly/kinky hair is adding oil/moisture to the hair, and reactivating curls. Conditioner is often considered the most important step
Other differences:
--- Wet
Straight hair is straight when it's wet
Curly hair is curly when it's wet
Nb: Water "reactivates" curls. Straight hair does not get reactivated
---- Wash frequency
Straight hair often gets washed every or every other day (though twice a week is recommended)
Curly, and especially kinky hair, dries out if it's washed too often. A week, two weeks, longer is good hair care
--- Wash time
Straight hair takes 5-10 minutes to wash
Curly and kinky hair is a major task to wash. Many talk about wash day. Drying it on top, takes ages.
---- Brushing/detangling
Straight hair is advised to be brushed when dry, as the hair strands are more prone to breakage when wet. A typical routine may be brushing long hair with a brush or a comb every morning before going out. Someone who hasn't brushed their hair might be called messy
Curly hair should NOT be brushed when dry! This will remove all the curls until next wash day and leave the hair frizzy and messy. Rather, it's adviced to always and only brush/detangle your hair in the shower, while the hair is wet and has conditioner in it. The water reactivates the curls and the conditioner aids the detangling, which also helps in avoiding breakage. Often a wide toothed comb or fingers are advised, so help the curls clumb. The goal is not to seperate and straighten every single hairstrand, as it is when brushing straight hair.
--- Hair shedding
Straight hair strands fall off all the time, and only a small amount is removed in the shower
Curly hair, and especially kinky, holds on to the loose hair in the curls, and most is removed in the shower whilst detangling
---- Shampoo
Most shampoo works fine with straight hair
1) Most products are made to apeal to people with straight hair
2) short, straight hair can be washed with, more or less, any type of soap, even sulfat
Basically; straight hair doesn't mind that much about getting ripped completely for it's oil with sulfat. To give the appearance of soft, well moisturized hair, many conditioners apply a thin layer of silicone over the hair strand which isolates the hair strand from actual moisture, but makes it appear soft and moisturized. Again, since straight hair fight oil more than dryness, though it's not the best fit the hair, it's not awful either
Curly hair suffers heavily from silicone and sulfat. The sulfat strips the hair of much needed moisture and oils, and the silicone keeps the moisture and oils out, drying it out further. Since most products are made to appeal to straight hair, few products are made for the needs of curly hair, and it can be hard to find products that are actually helpful rather than hurtful in the for-straight-hair-jungle
--- Protective hairstyles
Protective hairstyles is a foreign concept to straight hair
Kinky hair needs protective hairstyles. Especially in winter, where it might otherwise dry out and the cold might cause increased breakage. Other reasons may be when trying to grow the hair longer, or the hair needing intensive moisture treatments, or just getting a break
----
All of this is just the top of the iceberg. I haven't even dived into how straight hair is centered. How curly hair is often framed as "unkempt" or "unprofessional" and how much discrimination there is against kinky hair - so much so that California has written into law that it's illegal to discriminate based on hair, because work discrimination is wayy common. There's been multiple occasions of school discrimination and kids being sent home for their natural hair. In contrast, straight hair is seen as professional and appropriate in work environments. Considering how much work curly and kinky hair care takes compared to straight hair, it's beyond ludicrous. The hair type chart is very real. Not just in how to treat your hair, but how different people treat *you* based on your hair texture. Again - people with straight hair don't know.
I could talk about this all day. I'll stop for now
Thank you for giving attention to this topic. I find it felt fascinating. Hair is a part of all of our lives, to the degree that it feels universal. And yet, there's this massive rabbit hole right under the surface with so much nuance and history and bigger societal themes. Right there, and so many have no idea
Again. Thanks. Great video
Nonono don't stop I learned more reading your comment than with actual articles on the topic! I need to unlock all the hair type chart secrets!
Thanks for your comment, that's really interesting!
This is the most interesting comment I've read in quite a while!
Such an informative comment!
Straight hair that is long enough also needs lots of oil. Dont know anyone with hair below waist level that doesnt oil it.
The guy replying "I don't know" after being asked if he's black right, seems so sweet lol😁💓.
Poor guy was so confused lol
give him a blowy like a good girl
3:30 “Are you a vegan or poor?” 😭😭😭 the cut off
I'm not even joking this is my favourite series on UA-cam
Me too,and I’m not joking either
Me too, and I’m not joking either hahahahah
Me joking, and I'm not even too either
Unreal
This series where you're asking black and white people the same question is absolute gold. You have something here that is truly unique and ridiculously entertaining. Please please PLEASE (!) keep doing more of this!
Yes because self depricating white jokes and race baiting in order to blacks on top is a brand new concept no one else has ever done!
tldr; more
You can’t trust the authenticity though! if he interviews someone (blk or white) who doesn’t fit the narrative he can opt them out of the footage further fuelling divisive stereotypes. The Americanisation of it all is really ruining everything.
That guy was about to fight you for thinking you were making fun of his hairline, LOL
I like how he answered the question with the polite version of "U wat mate?!"
@@Dragonpuncher123I have always loved how people call others 'mate' when they're about to take them out! 😂😂😂
On behalf of all curly haired white people: Thank you for giving over your knowledge of oils and conditioning. THANK YOU.
no way you didnt know about conditioning?
@@pedramnoohi2715 Of course I did - what I didn't know is what ingredients work for my hair, how frequently I need to do it, what co-washes are, what porosity means or what protein-sensitivity is.
Cringe
Yeah good shit. If you got curly hair coconut oil is great for that
This is so cringey, stop pandering - not like Asian people don’t oil their hair and Asian people categorically have the best hair
I love my country! 😆
Shout out to the US bloke who thought man was making fun of his hairline right off the bat 😂 Bro was almost ready to fight, lol!
Me and Finlay fly that UK flag 🇬🇧 bro
That was one of my favorite parts! 🤣
This ain’t the flex you think it is
@@mamouns_ting You aint a part of this nation ya tosser nether English, welsh, scottish or N.I or even European. Time to go be with your own on your own soil.
@@mamouns_tingyou didn't have to do that foreign white boy dirty like that. I was like what the male Rachel Dolezal is going on right now? 😅
I have three different haircuts throughout this video.
As a white person I genuinely didn't notice. Also I'm definitely on the bi-annual haircut schedule.
Slay 😌
Are you doing more interviews like this? What’s the next topic about?
These videos are so interesting to me as a mixed race black girl who has mostly white family because I feel so strange disagreeing and agreeing with both parties
It’s giving me an identity crisis fr 💀
Remember that your race does not determine your identity. The only thing that determines your identity is you.
These answers are very cherry picked so I wouldn’t take it seriously
I'm just curious. What do you disagree vs agree with?
Do you have a white or black mom?
Do you put oil in your hair?
The editing in this is phenomenal 😂. Comedic timing to absolute perfection.
Are you a vegan or poor?
As a white man who recently grew out his hair, I have to say that coconut oil works like a charm. I have relatively thick hair and it is a bit curly. But I have to admit, that I had no idea people put coconut oil in their hair until my gf suggested me to do so.
i swear every indian household will have one of these like smallish bottles of parachute coconut oil that you can put into your hair, i do it every time i shower because 1) it smells amazing 2) my hair becomes as smooth as spider silk
@@anope9053 LOOOL the parachute coconut oil, in the blue container... I love seeing other Indians on the internet
you know it, shits amazing for your hair@@seelevollerei7224
Jasmine oil.
@@anope9053British Pakistani here I also have the coconut oil bottle, my hair is frequently doused in it 😂
Damn this series is legitimately eye opening. I never heard of that hair type chart before.
Same, I assumed everybody knew it!
it's not accurate😹😭
As a white dude that has his hair cut every 3 months, I felt seen 😂 Also I had no idea there was literally a system for different hair types... 😅
3 months? that's not long
@@matthijsw.4135 Yeah, but it turns into a bird's nest after that...
@@Dragonpuncher123 Wash it down in the morning and put a little bit of gel in it is how I do it. Been some time since the barbershop.
@@matthijsw.4135 Me too, but at a certain point I can’t control it with gel/wax anymore. It is super thick, so that makes it harder.
@@Dragonpuncher123I’m black & it took me until high school to figure out what hair types were 😂
“Are you vegan or poor?” 😂😂😂 man that was wild question 😂😂😂
"GET GYAL" I'm dead 🤣
This is brilliant 😂 People with no hair texture are just like 'yeah it's on my head... what about it?'
Edit: ok, fine, as people keep trying to correct me; I have 1A hair and view it as having no texture. That's technically incorrect, and I am aware, thanks
Geez...no wonder they're jealous of us Indo europeans. I'd be too.
@@lullaby218 They also seem to have to compensate a lot for looks. I really like the natural afro look, not sure why that ever went out of fashion.
Textured hair is beautiful - I'm jealous of the waves and curls!
@@no-cov-jabpureblood4959I don’t think it’s “out of fashion” per say it’s just we have a lot more variety of (protective) hair styles we can try out these days.
@@Silverbirchleaf I didn't say it was ugly, I just see a lot of people straightening their hair but not a lot(if any) make their hair look like 4A-C.
I love this series it makes my day 😭😭
"without your feet, where are you gonna get?" is actually so wise. thats gonna be in my head, rent free for weeks
I'm East Asian and once I went 2 years without cutting my hair, I feel very called out.
When I was young and stupid I spent a lot of money getting my hair straightened, and I walked out of the salon looking exactly the way I walked in.
That's the 2B life, fam. 🙏
We got this in common. That and struggling to get any body or volume in our hair.
Same, I'd go a couple years without getting my hair professionally cut. I just deal with my bangs by myself, all I need are my shears and my bathroom mirror lol
Y'all got the most amazing shade of black hair that I as un African has seen. 👍
@@Bellz972not all East Asians have black hair though. Mine is almost black, but under very bright light you can see it is just very dark brown (maybe sun bleached or something,, but it looks black under anything but noon sun)
Go to an east asian salon
As someone white, I get mine cut every 6 months, sometimes I've gone 9 before. My hairdresser always jokes that she doesn't know who I am and will then say "see you next year" after we finish. I can get away with it because my hair grows thick rather than long. I regret nothing though, it saves me money and I kind of like the messy look
What's your hair: Longish
While every black person listing out mathematical equations for their hair type.
Because not all black hair is the same.
@@jameswatson5807 it's not that, it's just that most people with thick curly or frizzy hair (me included and im not black) know about hair types bc they have to do research to learn how to take proper care of their curls. most people with straight hair literally do not have to bother with any of that so they aren't even aware that a hair type scale exists
Fin is so right about white hair looking best weeks AFTER it's cut. Say if I'm going on holiday or something...I'll get it cut two weeks before I depart, cause then it's at its peak!
as a 2b/2c korean girlie in korea, i feeeeeel not being able to walk into any salon, especially since LITERALLY every salon here is owned by an asian lmao. there are a lot more wavy/curly haired koreans than you might think but we are often made fun of or pushed by stylists to straighten it, so we really are limited in what we can do. appropriate hair care products are not readily available here either. the day i find a good salon near me that won't make comments about my hair and just cut/do it the way i ask them to will be the day i die of happiness.
I was in Seoul this summer and struggled finding a good Korean curl cream cos everything is suited for straight of course and I hardly saw any Koreans with naturally curly hair it must be cos they perm it straight to not deal with that. I hope it changes in the future I know a lot of salons now welcome curlier hair but they don’t know how to style it yet.
I actually found a nice salon for my curlyish hair in Anguk. There is also on in hapjeong where the stylist worked in London before.
Thank you for teaching me a lot about white people.
Quite the cultural exchange.
Other way around for me. There's a lot I didn't know.
Right? I didn’t know white people cut their hair a week before a big event, that’s unheard of in black households. This was quite educational.
@@gryffindorftw6198cause they're just making shit up
Its risk prevention. If the cut is bad. A week of growth really helps. If the cut is good a week of growth doesnt hurt@@gryffindorftw6198
5:30 "You can't marry a black woman" 😂
Lol I tell white women not to marry black men also.
This one's hilarious.
I am white but have very thick hair. I get my haircut every month and people do not understand why I feel like I "need" to.
The advice I and many others have been given for photos is get your haircut two weeks prior. The first week after a cut the hair ALWAYS looks stupid and then later it looks good. I have never left a barbershop with my hair looking good; it always takes a while 😭😂
Idk man if I don’t feel fresh right after a haircut then I know I’ve gone to the wrong barber …. maybe try someone else haha or a different cut that you like better.
Man you got to get another barber. It takes work trying to find a good one.
Ding ding ding.
Day of my wedding?!
Almost guaranteed to look stupid. Two weeks is the right time frame
Do you also say "Yeah perfect" when the barber asks if you like it? You need to speak up mate
@@keifer7813 I'm not sure how to describe it. I "grow into" my haircut, if that makes sense. When I look at it in the mirror at the barbershop, I think "Yeah, in a couple weeks that's gonna' look perfect." There's like a time-delay to my hair lol
This is the best one 😂😂 you know we LOVE our hair as black people. We always have. lol
Damn brotha preach you should for sure get deported so you can love ya own hair back in africa ya feel me?
@@nojews-xe5oyb8
@@nojews-xe5oy lol. Well I can’t be deported since I was born here.
Being half black and half white, I have to live with a strange mixture of the two. I have never put oil in my hair but I would indeed be upset if someone insulted my hairline.
What do you mean by a strange mixture of the two? Your hair type is probably going to be 3A, 3B or 3C like most mixed people. If so I'd still recommend putting oil in your hair (I'm also mixed). If your hair is 2B or 2C somehow then it's still not a bad idea.
@@tackyguy3095theres much more to hair than just the 3c 4b 2a type of categories
@@cookiesandpudding8485 True which is why I'm asking what the the original commenter meant by their statement. I'm not judging them or anything, I'm genuinely curious.
@@tackyguy3095 my friend is mixed and shes got 4a hair. I know this other mixed girl whos hair is very texturised is 4c and im full black and ive got 4b/a. whats ur point?
@@hajarahamidnassr-deen7420 I got 4B hair myself and I am mixed as well I'm not making any points here. I'm literally just asking what he meant by "strange mixture of the two". I'm not making any statements here. Sorry for the confusion.
They found Mizzy in the wild not acting like a schizophrenic moron? That’s like finding a live Megalodon shark, crazy.
i saw that too
had me wondering if it was really him or not the way he was acting so normal💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank god that moron is in prison
I'm a 3C white girl, and for much of my life I struggled with getting good haircuts because a lot of the barbers and hair stylists at chains didn't really know what to do. It was serviceable, but not really good. I finally found a good hair stylist back in 2018, a Vietnamese lady. She loves working on my hair but admits to not doing black people's hair. It's interesting really. I haven't gotten my hair properly cut in like 6+ months because it's so hard to find someone good, and the lady I used to go to ended up raising her prices to the point where I can't afford it (my last cut was >$70 x_x)
yeah i'm also 3C and i never really trusted barbershops and loved using palm oil and i do feel like the people around me have been gaslighting me all my life once i've seen this video
@@aiocafea Literally nobody has ever told me about palm or coconut oil before, I feel betrayed
why dont she do black peoples hair. some black people got 3c hair too😭
As a guy with 3c hair, I remember a time this Iranian barber was cutting my hair. Guy looked distraught through the mirror, trying to figure out how to get through the curls 😂
just go to a black or dominican/ latino shop. If they have certificate they know how to do 2a hair cause that is what they teach in school and they know curly from expiriance cause latinos have 3a hair in general. It's also pretty cheap cause people come often.
Hearing Finlay say “get gyal” made my day
This video is a masterpiece. It‘s both funny and educational. And it‘s dealing with racial issues in a very good way in my opinion. It really showed me that I had absolutely no idea our hair could be that different. Black people definitely do have a point in not letting white people cut their hair. We (overgeneralized) do not know how to take care of it.
I have hair as straight as a ruler, and legit, the week long wait for it to get good is real. Also, our hair is either easy as hell to style, or impossible, no in between. Finally, getting it cut leaves a lovely layer of hair based sandpaper all over my body. How black people can get it cut the same day shocks and terrifies me of your power.
The sandpaper is so real and it can last for days
Don't they cover you with cloth when you shave?
😂😂😂❤️ ❤️❤️your so funny. U know what I envy as un African with type 4c hair (tightest curls) is that u can easier put up your hair in a messy bun and it can still look attractive. For me I feel the same as u when u say there's no in between. With 4c hair there's very carefully arranged buns that need to kinda be wrestled in place or the there's hella messy lookin rats nest head of hair 😭 😂
@@Bellz972Nah don't envy us. If I put my hair into a messy bun it will look cute for half an hour, then the elastic will just start to slide out and the next thing you know yout hair is free. My parents stopped buying me hair clips by the first grade because I would always come back with none. I remember a black girl getting into trouble for wearing a pink elastic with a charm. I was wearing a double elastic so I took one out for her to borrow, except she just... took her elastic out and her hair stayed in place. Mad jealous.
…don’t you shower right after a haircut tho? Otherwise you’re covered in minute shards of spiky hair
“What if I had an Instagram page up and you could see I was slaying wig installs…” Finlay. Please 💀
"I'd be more than complimented if someone thought I had a hairline" LOL
Love that you’re basing your question on other people’s answers. Never really seen this before ! Makes for a really funny contrast and a very seamless story! Great video !
This series is so delightfully unifying. I have learnt so much from this. There aren’t many UA-camrs brave enough to tackle this.
Only white people are learning 😂
@@jones2277yes because black people know everything there is to know about everything and are so intelligent.
This series brings me so much joy!
As a Black person, I didn’t realize how little White people seem to think about their hair? No hair shops? interesting new info
In the UK they don't need specific hair shops cause they just go to the main stores lollll
@@tee3835So truuuue! 😂😂😂😂😂
who's they? are the Blacks who go to shops not in the UK@@tee3835
In Britain-derivative countries, there were historically only a limited set of respectable hair styles for the longest time, so that’s why we don’t have very strong feelings about it ingrained culturally. If you aim to look classically stylish you essentially pick from a book like a tattoo shop and that’s the full extent of consideration required.
Its not that we dont care about our hair, we just dont really notice the difference honestly
This series has been incredible so far!
As for the oil- I do put argan oil in before washing. The simple fact is if you have fine hair like myself- most oils will just weigh it down and the hair will look limp and greasy/unwashed.
But my sister has thicker hair and she can handle coconut oil in her hair but my hair would need like 3 washes to get it out
4:38 why is Mizzy in this vid - i thought we had exorcised him from our collective consciousness
“Are you vegan or are you just poor?” 😭😭Poor man, he’s gonna be hearing that in his nightmares now💀
Best series on UA-cam right now, comes out just at the right time as well
I am white. Of course I use oil in my hair. Maybe not as much as a black person would but my hair is dry and I use heat products so of course I would use oil.
Same. While with very thick hair, if I don't put oil in it right after washing, it looks like a clown's hair.
Yeah I have to put a little oil in my hair too when I'm done blow drying, at the ends
I’m black and I don’t use any oils in my hair. I stopped using them and my hair looks significantly better so it just depends really.
These guys are hilarious. I never thought about how many different hair types there are and how different they can be. Epically when you put it out like that.
At 4:38 that’s the guy who would prank elderly people by going into their houses, stealing their dogs and stuff right? He was on Pierce Morgan’s show one time.
4:38 I know that aint who I think it is
I know that too.
Is it though? I'm so confused. I mean...
IT SHOULDN'T be...
I spotted the little shit too. Yes it was him.
Wow Mizzy, what's he doing there, shouldn't he be busy stealing dogs, invading family homes, threatening girls and being an all round massive nuisance to society. Day off perhaps.

Also really appreciating the subtitles as an American watching….great for accessibility needs too..

Love these. This one taught me so much about the hair culture of ethnic Africans in the west
My favorite series right now.
very very interesting because this ties and tracks if we know anything sociologically about race, presentability and the importance of black hair at the centre. the difference is stark but when the person in the black barbers said for black people they groom hair because it's a want but for white people only when they really need to - i had to sit back and think as a black person because that's true to a degree but also not idk if it's a want for black people -
i think what hit me from ths interview is today it's blatantly obvious white people groom their hair once evey 6 months or at least they feel they can because their hair is accepted, deemed as presentable and attractive in all sorts of states whereas black hair if it was left ungroomed, left to grow out, left to a natural afro hairline shape - people would think we are homeless and certainly not presentable - it reminds me of a couple years ago h&m did a campaign for childrens playground wear and all the kids had messy hair to reflect rough and tumble playing around, but when it came to the black girls shot of her hair in a ponytail with messy edges the picture went viral black people backlashed against h&m complaining the girl was unkept and ungroomed when ALL the children looked the same her hair texture was just black in contrast.
What i'm getting at here is the obsession of black people to have a neat hairline and groomed hair has a long history in our fear of rejection and marginalisation in society if our hair is deemed to look unkept eg. savage "uncivilised" "unsophisticated" we are afraid of all these things and criticism from within the community that we look unpresentable without "good" hair is a deeply engrained idea due to colonisation and slavery.
Great comment. I remember that h&m backlash and I thought it was silly. You're right about how obsession with always looking put together and having our hair done. It's why we see little black baby girls with too tight braids or their hair slicked back. Or little black boys with a line up. We project our fears and insecurities on our children and I find it really sad.
This is incorrect. So many white lads get skin fades on a Friday eve before going out.
@@las8883 it makes me really sad too and I don’t want to put my kids thru that but I also know how the world will treat them, I just wish we could truly be accepted for the hair that grows out of our head same way it is for white people
I'm not sure about that. my brother is white and has had issues with employers when his hair reaches a certain length, as have I.

Oh my god this entire video was a blessing - such laughs, the only thing I miss about London is the mix of cultures, diversity, humour ❤
So you dont miss London for its History at all? All its architecture? You simply only miss it purely because theres loads of brown people there? Im so sick of this anti white hate at the moment.
You are a magget traitor who will pay the price one day for importing diversity to our once homogenous nation. (Ill spell it out for u, watch out you become a victim of a crime done by a "die-ver-city")

There was something so sweet and wholesome about this video. Hair is so personal!
He should ask if these black invaders want to get rounded up into containers, stuffed in a airliner and shipped back to birkina faso.
This an fucking amazing concept lads, real way to bring communities together with laughter and understanding. Rate it.

If you get your hair cut a week before your wedding and it's a SHOCKING WORK EXPERIENCE KID DISASTER, you can grow and style it a bit by the time you get to the event.
Can't do much if it's the day before.
You have to continue making this series, I love it!
I love this freaking series!!!!
These are very eye opening imo. We need an Asian perspective too if it’s possible
lol this is about the black community and representing them. Asians always gotta try to edge on anything another group has. either way he ain't putting Asians up here
These videos are hilarious, I discovered the channel with the previous episode.
Love these, plz more of them
I love this series!
