  • Who exactly is mixed race or multiracial, and just what percentage of the world's population can be considered mixed race? Although it can sometimes be quite difficult to quantify just exactly who is mixed race and who is not, for today's video, I will be attempting to quantify this metric with objective standards.
    We will be going over the various regions of the world and discussing and enumerating people groups and individuals who could be considered mixed race, even if the definition is quite loose and near impossible to pin down. Be sure to check out my previous videos where I go in depth into each of the extended regionalized ancestral continuums. Thanks for watching!

    I think these "mixed" populations are kind of an artifact of where you decided to draw the lines between races. Perhaps a more sociologically useful definition would be to say that races, while fundamentally genetic, are defined by culture. Thus, a population that is a distinct group (including if it's the majority) is by definition a race, and thus not mixed race. Basically, "mixed race" is what happens when the race boundaries that a culture sets up are broken.
    I'm not really sure how this fits into continuum racism like "colorism", though. I think it doesn't. The whole idea of "mixed" race implies that there is such a thing as non-"mixed" race. That requires there to be hard boundaries, unless there's some kind of continuum between "more mixed" and "less mixed".

    To answer some of your concluding questions, my immediate family has almost entirely Anglo-Irish and Norwegian ancestry. We are very, very white Americans. My mom's siblings, however, married non-European spouses, so we have cousins with partly Filipino or Lebanese backgrounds. On top of that, our religious expressions range from Quaker to Roman Catholic. But we're united in Christ, and that is sufficient.

    Why are you still talking of "race" if it is quite clear that "race" as a classification does not make sense? Here you demonstrated that a third of the worlds population does not fit into one race, even if you separate the genetically somewhat destinguishable ten races, instead of just 4 or 5 how it has been done traditionally. If you are speaking of "race" people also think of the categories the racist American state classifies, which do not make sense at all. This can lead to confusion.

    That is the wrong click you're doing btw in "Xhosa". I know there's lots of other words you don't pronounce as in they're origin languages, but I thought I should mention it since you're trying.
    EDIT: THE FOLLOWING TEXT MAY INCLUDE A MISHEARING OF YOUR PRONUNCIATION. YOU MAY HAVE SAID "XOSA" RATHER THAN "COSA". I'M NOT AS GOOD AT DISTINGUISHING THESE THINGS IN RECORDINGS AS I THOUGHT.
    What you're doing now would probably be spelled "Cosa" with the "c" probably being called a "plain dental click" (although I suspect a more accurate description of you're pronunciation would be "affricated palatal click"). This is done with the center of the top of your tounge, near the front of your mouth. To make the "x" sound you need to do a similar movement (i.e., touching the tongue to the gums then pulling back*) with the sides of your tongue (or the top of the sides) further back in your mouth.** Mastering this should enable you to say "Xosa".
    Also, the "h" in "Xhosa" must be pronounced. Technically, this is "aspiration"*** on the click, but it can also be thought of as a short "h" sound without any real difference in pronunciation.
    *Actually, there are sort of 3 parts to pronouncing a click (or "lingual ingressive stop/plosive"). (Steps 1 and 2 actually happen at the same time.)
    (1) there must be a closure in the back of the mouth, stopping air from moving back down your throat or up your nose. In "Xhosa" I believe this is usually done with the back of the tongue against the gums, similar to the "k" sound (or rather lack of sound) at the end of "sick", if you don't finish the "k". (If you finish the "k", the last sound you will hear the sound of this stop being blown threw by a burst of air, the familiar "k" sound.) Since you made one click, you obviously know how to do this even if you don't realize you're doing it.
    (2) There must be a closure in the front of the the mouth, preventing air from escaping out the mouth. This, combined with step 1, seals in a little bubble of air. In both the "c" sound you made and the "x" sound in "Xhosa", this front closure is made with the front of the toungue. In fact, you can make it exactly the same way.
    (3) Thus, the only important difference (other than the "h") between the click you made and the correct one is the last step. In this step, the front closure is pulled back, making the air bubble smaller in volume and thus higher in air-pressure, which then naturally causes the air to blast open the seal between the tongue and the gums and escape, creating the "click" sound. In the Xhosa "c" sound, the center/tip of the tongue pulls back, while the sides stay more or less in place. In the Xhosa "x" sound, the center/tip of the tongue stays in place while the sides of the tongue pull back.
    **The easiest click for you to make with the side of your tongue may be a sharp popping sound (almost like knocking on wood). This sound is made in a very similar way to the "x" sound, but is not used in Southern African languages. The sound should instead be be a soft, saliva-y, "affricated" click made with the root of the tongue pulked further back.
    ***Aspiration is very common in English with the "p", "t" and "k" sounds. It is the puff of air that occurs after the first consonant in the words "pill", "till", and "kill", but not in the words "spill", "still", and "skill".

Although plenty of the population in the South have Swedish and even Russian 'looks' with the tall blue eyed blondes, a lot of Finns further up have darker hair and are shorter and stockier.

    I have noticed that the assumption of what you are, is only based on your appearance, (or where you are born) and until a DNA test is done to show that appearances can be deceiving, most people just assume things which are wrong. I mean, I've seen families which I made an assumption myself about what they were. But turned out to be wrong. In one case, there was a man who looked just like me. I'm assumed to be just 'white', so I assumed the same about him. But then I found out his father was fully Chinese. His mother was more European decent, and most of his features reflected her. The only thing tying him to his father really was his hair was dark, and straight, like mine. His eyes were darker like mine. His skin had a more 'golden' appearance to it like mine. He was smaller in stature, in frame, like me. But most of his facial structure was of a Caucasian appearance. The stronger brow ridge, the more prominent nose etc. I have found that if someone appears more 'non white' in how they look, it is assumed they are mixed race, but if you look whiter, you are assumed to not be, and this just isn't how it works. You can be darker, and have European. You can be lighter, and have black, Asian, or other non European. Places like America are full of 'mutts'.

      I mean part of an ethno-genesis is a group of similar people, having a shared culture, language, etc., recognizing themselves as a separate group from another. In that regard, no matter how "mixed" the ethnicity is, it is still that ethnicity if the people recognize it. There's a huge difference between genetic diffusion between related people-groups and "multicultural" intermixing. This is generally the reason "pure ethnic claims" are being made; people (very typically of the political left), use Britain's historical ethnicities to justify shattering the English identity into a macro-ethnic national identity that is internally not cohesive.

    The comment section isn't as combative as I thought it would be. Nice. My parents are immigrants from Germany with some Austrian mixed in and my 23andMe reports I'm 40% Eastern European with haplogroup R1a and 1% Siberian blood. I wish I could say that 1% non-European blood makes me mixed, but it doesn't. In America ethnicity often divides people and the more people mix the more they get along. My brother is married to a woman from China and has mixed kids. I'm divorced with a daughter, and if I were open to being in a relationship again, it would not be with a Western or white woman.

And you might have it backwards regarding more heavily mixed race people having race very relevant. For example, if you look at actual mixed race populations such as in Brazil or Mexico or Reunion Island, etc...race means nothing, you are actual speaking about culture.

I'm thinking of certain isolated tribes in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Amazon forest, Australian Aboriginals without Caucasian admixture and Scandinavians in Europe?

    When discussing this topic, the deeper you go, the less meaning things hold. The concepts of race and ethnicity are very vague and arbitrary. If you talk about race or ethnicity you are implying that people of pure race or ethnicity exist. However, every single human is mixed-race to some degree.
    Culture is a more reliable parameter for circumscribing a certain people.

    I think the whole mixed race thing is based on subjective links to nations, regions and cultures. Not really ethnicity at all. Because as the video said, you could say everyone is mixed race if you go back far enough. These days, we consider people of ancestry coming from the British Isles to be one of the most homogenized in the world. But in reality, they're one of the most mixed, as they were mixed in with the French, Celtic, Norse, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Russians, Indians, Africans, Middle Eastern and pretty much every group outside of East Asia. You just need to go back more than a few generations to find it. But again, notice how almost every label I just used was based on a regional or national identity. That's not really a good basis for grouping people together. At best, it's confusing since a group like "Brazilian" or "South American" is not one homogenized group. It's as big of a melting pot as the USA or UK.
    The point I'm trying to make with all this is, I feel like ethnicity is kind of a pointless distinction these days. I know in many parts of the world it's still a big deal. Heck, it's becoming a big deal again in the USA with some people. But I just choose not to be one of those people.

    Interesting video. By the way, mixing as a result of colonialism in Africa did not just happen in the Cape. It happened throughout the continent. In fact, in Southern Africa, "colored" (as in cape-colored) is a term used to identify people of mixed race. Moreover, people of mixed race have formed communities to the point where some consider it a race on its own. I am one of them - Malawi, Southern Africa. I'm mixed with African Bantu, Indian, and Scottish.

If society labels someone, it's up to that person to at least make the effort to correct that society in some way. As
      a tiny bit of that society, I usually view people with a multicultural lens anyway. A woman and I once shared our ancestry backgrounds in conversation, and remarked hers (German +Norwegian) was "rather boring." I remarked that the cultures - despite both being European - were quite diverse, noting the foods (staying away from the lutefisk, mind you) special to each.

    to say that everyone is mixed as some do, might be true in a very long term, but it confuses the issue. Some populations have been quite isolated through centuries if not millenia from intercourse with other populations so that they have developed their own phenotype characteristics. You can call them ethnicities if you do not like the word race. For instance, there is no believable offspring between Native Americans and people of other parts of the world between around 10,000 BC and 1492.

    • @lusciouslocks8790

      I understand what you’re saying but the example you gave is a tad misleading. There was admixture in Arctic America between those dates with Inuit and Aleutian groups coming from far northeast Asia, and there was regular contact across the Bering Strait with Inuit-Aleutian and northeast Asian groups for quite some time.
      Admittedly this didn’t have a noticeable effect outside the far North in both North America and Asia, but there was still a tiny bit of contact and the Greenlandic Inuit DNA mixture shown in the video attests to that.
      You are right though, it’s very unlikely you’d find someone in 1300s Peru with any ancestors who migrated to the Americas from before 10,000 BC.
