  • One Culture: two generations, where we speak to British families and explore the differences between first- and second-generation immigrants.
    Of the 1.2 million mixed race people in England and Wales, 0.5% of them identify as 'Mixed other'. Bilal, who is of both Jamaican and South Asian Kenyan descent, has an open conversation with his parents Colleen and Asif about the pressures, and the positives of being mixed with two minority groups.

    I'm half English and half Zimbabwean. It's not that complicated. It's people who don't know me or want to disrespect me who are confused.

    Black does not define African people....have you ever heard of a country called Black, and a city called black etc. ????/ African people, not black. The continent is called Africa, and it has countries like any other continent.

      jason4275 No the Mum is half Jamaican half Indian the Dad is full Indian but lived in Kenya (I’m Kenyan and I know Indians very much dominate Kenya and intermarry) and remember West Indians are mostly mixed with Indians anyway so you can see why he appears to look more Indian..

      @@spartacus551 You do know there was a time on earth where there was no white people right? White colour came out due to a genetic defect. Their own scientists say this. Green, blue eyes, blonde hair etc are not a uniquely white attribute. This comes from other races. Just type in blue eyed Indian or blonde haired Indian etc. Heck type that in for blacks and you'll see.

      @spartacus551 5 років тому +6

      Shade On A Cool Day ... these traits don't naturally exist in Indians or blacks. Melanisians are the only ones other than whites with natural blondes. Also whiteness isn't genetic defect, its adaptation to increase vit D synthesis.

    The kids that are a mixture of African and a European are most noticeable. They are precious and God's children. This why I don't understand the push for CRT they are forcing our kids to learn.

    I think the guy has issues against west-indian culture: 5:11
    I am not against mixed race relationships. I am an Indian who is dating a hong konger/asian. But this guy definitely is highly biased and he can't hide behind the *"You hate me cause I am mixed race, you racist!"* Card
    His bias resembles racism against Indians.
    "The South-Asians use us for business and then hate us behind our backs"
    Sounds akin to what Hitler said about Jews, doesn't it ?
    5:40 And you don't get respect just for being born in a race. You have to earn it.
