I’m actually shocked she asked if you were black because you don’t bathe… I’m trying to figure out if it’s ignorance or just plain rude! I’m not shocked that she said it but more so that she said it so directly in your face!
Its both. I'm sure that chinese people know about people from different parts of the world. Because they've put themselves in most corners of the world. Why would she ask such a question 🤔. There is no excuse for this. Times have changed so much. If I had said why is your eyes like that it would be called asian hate. I am no more visibly different than they are. The world is different. All kinds of people exist in it. With the social media don't tell me that she has never seen a dark skin person before. Slave mentality. White skin is beautiful and if you're dark skin then you must be dirty because you don't bath. She probably wasn't trying to he rude but by now she should know how to be respectful to other cultures as this young lady wasn't. When people do this they need to be put in their place by means of education. She should've schooled her and I wouldn't bother with the makeup. They've been doing this for a long time. And now there's talking about asian hate. But what about their hate. I know this wasn't about hate. Just saying.
As a Singaporean Chinese her shower comment was kinda direct and rude (in my opinion), I’m glad Mua educated her that people have different skin colours due to genes! And you handled that so well with grace :)
Ps don't represent Singaporeans and condemned China ok karma will come to you and please be more grateful when Singapore economy can soooooo stabilise when Singaporeans business man do business very long in China if not will bye bye in 1999 Asia economy crisis.
@@gohyonghongluke3443 How did she condemn China? She condemned the woman's action not the whole country of China. Or do you feel that when a person condemns a person of Chinese decent then they are condemning China? Karma simply means action. Karma has nothing to do with punishment or rewards. I am an African American; and no disrespect but your comment made no sense to me
asking a person why their skin color is darker because they don't take a bath is really offensive. That person must skip science and ethics subject during elementary lol
Why doesnt anyone in this comment section understand that China has different education and they dont necessarily get taught the same things as western people do? You have no idea if they even did science or ethics in elementary.
@@Nadia-nt8gb I've taught in primary and middle schools in china. There's no west or east, it's called common sense or logic.... instead students here are taught to repeat out loud whatever the teachers say. That's not secret at all to anybody that a lot of time there's communist propaganda being taught, so it ends up with people being adults knowing only 2 countries 国内 and 国外. or in exceptional cases 美国 and 英国 for white people and 非洲 for black.
It’s a real shame how our whole focus as been on the rude lady. However, the actual makeup artist did a great job considering that china is not a very diverse country & even tried to shut down what the other lady said. I’m a black woman and sometimes even as black people we still say really racist stupid things. So let’s continue to educate each other
No, China is actually pretty diverse, they have large land, different ethnic groups have been on the land since ancient times. The skin colour and feature also more varied than other east asian countries. You might confuse them with Korea where the land is small, basically only have 99 % of korean ethnicity and was very closed off until recent years. So their comments here were just plain rude, there are other beauty shops who would treat her better. But when blackface is still constantly being shown in The Spring Festival Gala, which is like the biggest event in China shown by the State TV broadcast throughout China and across the world even as recent as last year, I think it would take a looooong time for racial insensitive comments to go away from the land so it s fine to call them out constantly and vehemently.
@@mix4715 Though China is diverse, some people are uneducated and have never met someone that was black. Yes some Chinese people have darker skin tones, barley any of them were born with naturally black skin. Yes their comments were rude but so is a black person asking an asian why their eyes are so small, other beauty shops might treat her better but this isn't the only bad one. There's many of them like that and it's hard to make them change because that's what they've known their entire life. Calling out asians because of their lack of education is wrong, it's just rude.
@@gwendybendy Nah, then how would they know if people stay silent then ? How would change be make if people dont constantly calling them out when micro aggresion and racist acts happened ? Of course it would be wrong for a black person to ask that esp if they are from a diverse country, but you also free to call them out on that. I dont get the "whataboutism" here ? What is the purpose ?
Yes they do, also in some of the richest countries in Europe. One German girl with a master degree asked my classmate why all asians look exactly the same.
As a Chinese, I feel sorry for another women's rude words. There are always some people in the world judging people by groups in order to show their superiorities.
why would you need to feel sorry.m..it's not like you caused this lady to ask her in this way....lol stop making as if every Chinese is like this lady....跪的也太久了吧 lol
The only superior being that has ever lived was Jesus Christ, not a single other living being is superior to anyone we are all beautifully faulty, flawed and imperfect!! I'm sure you had good intentions with your comment and only meant to be supportive and didn't mean to infer anyone was superior.
As a Chinese person I would like to say that I'm so so sorry about that girls behavior. Even though I'm Chinese myself, I tend to be afraid of Chinese people, because (some) Chinese people tend to be a bit blunt and straightforward to the point it's kind of rude. So its hard to hide how hurt you are sometimes. (You did a great job staying calm and strong when she said such rude things by the way. I however was not that resilient 😔) One day I just went to visit my grandparents in China and they had a friend over. And the moment their friend looked at me. They said why does your granddaughter have such big eyebags? She looks so tired. And then the conversation carried on like nothing happened. And the moment the guy left the house I burst into tears. So, for anyone reading this I hope you remember to stay strong if you are being treated this way, and stand up for yourself! Don't let people mistreat you! And if your saying rude things without a care, please remember to think about how your words can affect others. Thank you for reading my comment! ❤️ Stay strong guys :)
She was not taught social skills as a child, some older generation are used to their parents talking very bluntly to them, hence they don't realize that this is bad manners, Also she's very curious as has not been to the outside world but Busulo exceptionally graceful, mature, self assured young lady with high self esteem not to react negatively. Great credit to her and her upbringing. When my friend (from Barbados) and myself were in St Anton (Austria) in 1972 on holiday, we were surrounded by some ladies who had great interest in her hair and gently stroked her arm but we could not understand what they were ask in German. No one felt offended, just bemused.
Interesting thing is that Prejudice against others based on skin color happens much more often among polite people, but less often among straightforward, or rude as you called it, people.
She actually did very good with your make-up. I highly commend you for your patience to the disrespectful comments. This is present day with technology as a great advantage so there is no longer the excuse of people "not knowing any better ". Love your vlog!
They literally live in a country where most of the free internet is censored. Living in a government controlled buddle and educating yourself on the rest of the world don't go well together. 🙄
@@adlerzwei china has their own internet system which is massive and accessible from outside china. there are also vpns which has common usage. there are plenty of resources for people to research with. Please stop thinking that china is some sort of rural prison country with nothing there. the cities are extremely well developed. i suggest you visit shanghai or something.
@@totallytaly1652 I just told the person that I'll text God/Budda or whoever she believes in and if I got the answer, I'd tell her lol, she just stared at me looking stupid lol.
Curiosity? No she was being a BITCH. I would have said, " Did Gid decide nit to finish creating you?? "Is that why your skin is raw??" " Do you have leprosy??" I woupd have dished it right back and got up and left.
The makeup artist lady was also getting a bit annoyed. She had to tell the assistant to stop asking rude questions and had to INFORM HER that it’s because we have different genes. 🥲
I experienced this several times when I lived in China. Questions are insensitive but I do believe it stems from ignorance and curiosity most of the time. However, that shower comment, no. She was being rude. To imply that someone has poor hygiene is considered rude. She said that because she doesn’t see this black women as human on the same level that she is. To imply that someone is black because they don’t clean themselves. Cleaning in necessary for all humans. Our cleaning rituals vary from culture to culture, but we all must clean ourselves to remain healthy. We all clean unless we lack access and/or choose not to for some reason. When people ask why your hair is so long? How can your hair be so beautiful? Same thing. You are human and hair growth is a human function. That’s why. Therefore, we’re all capable of growing hair UNLESS there is some type of abnormality or circumstance. I think it’s subconscious, but still racist. She went too far, thus the woman checked her.
I feel like she purposely said it to offend because when she touched her hair look at her face she was smirking as if her hair is “weird” or something like no offense but that lady is not even on same level as the girl from TH-cam when it comes to the looks💀
Um some cultures really dont shower everyday. That aside the woman is being intentionally mean. Chinese bullies are literally everywhere. Black fans is code named for anti fan. Black anything essentially means dirty or evil most of the time in chinese phrases.
It's because there's no history of racism against African descents in China like in Europe and America. Some people literally have no contact to people with dark skin in their whole lives. People like that assistant girl probably never learned english, graduated only from an elementary school, never heard of slavery in the US, thus never developed sensibility to voice around them.
@Myllena Silva I wasn't defending them. Btw, lots of Asian people also got bullied/discriminated/assaulted by the African descents in many western countries. Maybe you don't pay attention to the cases because you are not in asian communities. You are already treating them worse.
I think it's curious that even the MUA thought we would use their color of foundation. Like it never even crossed their mind that there were darker shades of make up. Ignorance is really binding at some points. It's astounding really what we don't know that we don't know. But side note that extra glitter sealed the deal for me. I really liked it 😆💜
I think it’s because people in China wear lighter foundation to appear very pale so she’s used to putting a lighter foundation on most of her clients, but at one point the MUA told the makeup attendant to stop with her comments so I think she was pretty respectful, maybe just a little ignorant about the fact that not everyone wants to look pale like they do in China but she never said anything intentionally rude like the other girl
it’s not about ignorance but more about knowing your clients. she’s working and living in china and the people there have paler skin what would she do with a lot of darker shade foundations if 99% of her clients are pale to medium toned skin? stop trying to twist everything to be racist.
@@hb2953 unless you're responding to the wrong post you're the only one bringing up racism here... The client was black and the MUA artist didn't know darker skinned people use or maybe even in general that there was foundation to match darker shades of skin. I'm pretty sure that fits the definition of ignorance so I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. I was just saying in general sometimes you get hit with knowledge that you didn't even know was a part of the world and it can be weird and jarring. We've even made a trend I out of it "I was today years old when I learned..." It happens everyday but it's just about exposure, and growing up with the internet you would think we would be exposed to everything but research in and of itself is still a skill. You have to know what you're looking for, how to find it, and how to determine its validity.
I get that but in a lot of places in South East Asia they will wear foundation that is even too light for their own skin to appear more white skinned. It's really a western thing to wear foundation that matches our skin tones
As a Chinese, I want to add that she is relatively rude. But one thing I want to add is that makeup migrant workers at her age are very likely to have an education level of about elementary or junior high school. And she probably only heard of black people and never saw it. The refutation method of a friend in the video is completely fine, because she really does not know that her questions and ideas are problematic, and it is okay to tell her directly or refute her.
Asking a person if they do not take a bath everyday no matter their skin colour, appearance etc is very rude. She could have stopped with why the skin is dark. She meant to insult. There is no excuse for it.
@@zikaenendu6214 As I said above, in fact, many people like her who come from low education in rural areas do not have basic common sense in the Internet era. Like many villagers who entered the city for the first time, she might not even know that she would need to take off their shoes and put on slippers when entering the door, or that she would need to wash their hands before eating. You think she is deliberately insulting, but in fact, she is just ignorant. The true thing you can do is to tell her what she can't do and what she needs to do just like teach a baby.
@@xiaoz56 Makes sense. Is human evolution and human biology taught at high school level? I figured most developed nations with an educated population would understand why and how humans can look different.
@@xiaoz56 I am sorry but you don't need education to know that it's hurtful to say "is it because you never shower". ANYONE will know that hearing something like that just makes you uncomfortable. And if that wasn't enough she continued AFTER being told to stop by her superior. That girl needs some better parenting and I am glad that friend showed her what she's acting like.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 The true thing is basic manners also need to be educated by the family, and their families have a high probability that their parents are not well-educated and go out to work in big cities to earn money, and their children are almost free-range left-behind children. To put it simply, their parents or above have insufficient basic education, not to mention the children who have been raised. However, the overall base of society is improving, and the educational level of the new generation will be more than the before generation.
And here we have two good examples When you actually don't know: the make up artist was asking about the different colour of foundation When you are rude: the assistant asking if she doesn't take baths every day Let's appreciate that the make up artist was annoyed and stopped her before she could be even worse
I respect the artist for trying to stop them from asking such rude questions about her skin especially since she did a great job with what she could work with for your makeup
When asked if she can do the style she is honest and said "I'll try." How humble she is. Other than the shade of lipstick I think the overall style is very good.
With how much information is available on the internet, it’s unacceptable that people still make ignorant comments like that woman did. She should be ashamed. I’ll stop now before I call her a bad name 😬
Actually internet in China is very different from what you can imagine... I can see racist comments everywhere uncensored on bilibili. Some people genuinely don't know their words are disrespectful... I feel weird too.
I'm not going to defend these people, but more than half of the population of China lives in rural areas where having internet is barely a known. Seeing a person of darker color and ethnicity would be shocking to them since they've never encountered them. Thats why when people raised in rural areas visit big cities in China and they spot a person that looks "different" from them, they would take pictures. Also building up racist, ignorant, and uneducated stereotypes like the one the chick said.
I love the way you stayed cool, after she asked you for the reason why your skin is dark. Your reaction was awesome, others would have completely freak out and become angry. And I think it's weird that she continue doing your makeup and touching your face like, theirs no probleme after she assumed that your skin is dark, because "of not showering". I didn't know if she was serious or not, because it didn't just make sense to me.
@@MedschoolwithNil I re-watched the scene 😅 you are right ! thank you, I was actually busy not reading the subtitles and trying to understand what they are saying, I even thought "Mua" is a friend of Deborah speaking and the "Makeup attendant" the person who is doing the make up hahaha my fault, thank you for clearing up !
I'm Chinese and i have been enjoying your videos for a while and command your effort of reaching out to people in China. There are still ignorant and narrow minded people in China like any other country. But most are friendly and open like any other country as well. I am very sorry that you encountered this rude af assistant and you were amazing and handled it so well, in the end, that assistant is the one that felt shame for her actions. Hope to see more videos from you showing life as black people in China!
the make-up was done perfectly well, the fact that she said she will try when you asked her if she can do that kind of makeup. it shows that she is a true professional. cos as a true professional you don't have to mind about skin color, cos you are an artist. i love her so much for being a professional also for telling that ignorant lady not to be asking such questions. PS: can you share her WeChat contact, i would love to have her do my makeup when i go back to china.
As a Chinese person, the off cam makeup attendant was straight up rude. Might not be ill intended, but very rude. The excuse of China being a very homogenous country with few foreigners in the comment section isn't a valid excuse. As like OP said, there's a lot of dark skinned Chinese people in China, which are even more present in southern China. Furthermore, it's not like black people doesn't on Chinese social media or that black celebrities doesn't exist in China. And it's not like Chinese people don't know asking people if they are taking shower or not bc of their skin color is rude or not. No excuse at all, from any angle. I'm glad MUA said to that person, "don't talk nonsense. We're not the same race. They're black, we're yellow." or that the makeup attendant shouldn't ask this rude question in the first place. I'm also amazed how OP handled it so gently with so much patience. I was even more amazed by OP taking her time to talk abt science to that makeup attendant.
I’m chinese too (chinese-american) and yeah tbh china is very discriminatory towards all dark-skinned people, including darker Chinese people. they just hate dark skin, the country being homogenous is no excuse, as you said.
I’ve visited family in Asia who have never met or have rarely met a black person in their life. So I’ve been asked some ignorant questions due to me being an American. That being said, there’s a difference between that and being straight up rude.
@@REChronic54 exactly. I've been asked a few ignorant questions as a French, but it was never straight up this rude. And every time I gave the explanation, they had the "I'm so dumb" face and apologized to me for being ignorant and unintentionally rude. I also had aunties that don't even know how to use internet nor watch TV, but they still won't be this rude. They might be ignorant on issues like racism, cultural appropriation or black face. But they sure know about how skin colors work. Hence, I said, "The excuse of China being a very homogenous country with few foreigners in the comment section isn't a valid".
Thanks for the great video! You handled that awkward/uncomfortable/disrespectful encounter so nicely. Your friend behind the camera made me laugh so hard!
I haven't seen blatant racism like this in awhile. It made me sad to see her go through the racism and then have her "friend" or whoever the girl was at the end that was sitting on the couch, compare her to animals. It reminded me of when I was in highschool and was constantly going through racism but stayed quiet or smiled through the racism. You're beautiful and you handled it amazingly though! 😎❤️
Omo the assistance ehnnnn... Don't know if it was curiosity or stupidity o. At this time and age someone still assumes we are dark because we don't bathe, like really? Thank God I wasn't the one she was attending to, she'll get a very big schooling
There is ignorance from lack of exposure and then there is just plain stupidity….that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard how can someone even think that without realizing how stupid they are
Actually chinise don't take shower often especially at school their domitories don't have showering systems the shower place is far from the domitory and they have to pay for it even their apartments tye apartments with a bathroom to shower is expensive than that without the showering bathroom 😂
its actually very common for people to say that to darker skinned people. im only tanned, but i have gotten that comment a lot. sometimes ppl just say it to tease bc they think it is funny, but i think here she ACTUALLY believes it. there is always people like that
Haha ! I am impressed by girl who said why your eyes is small? Why your nose is small ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 How can she { chinese lady } say direct you are black , why ? Being black doesn't mean you don't get shower or something! 😒😒😒 I literally feel angry . But you two guys made everything so light with your smile and answer😂😂😂❣️ You look gorgeous like a Barbie doll . 💝
There is ignorance from lack of exposure and then stupidity……the attendant was stupid. She said stupid things she acted stupidly even the artist was uncomfortable with some of her questions “is it because you don’t shower” WHAT????
I love how your friend stood up for you! I need a friend like that!❤️whew😂ask her why her eyes are small. I’ve literally gotten that question many times and the whole ordeal about the sun. Meanwhile summer in China is the brightest burning sun I’ve experienced in my life🤦🏾♀️
This was chaotic!!! the fact that she actually did a good job but the focus keeps shifting is on the ignorance of the assistant, your friend is gathering her and I love it
The makeup looks great 😍 she did a good job you look beautiful with and without it but dang The assistant low-key made me mad 😑 I could never be that patient with someone😩
that makeup assistant was so rude. i was like "oh ignorance, she just doesnt quite understand" but then the shower comment?!?! that was disgusting. your response was so calm and i respect you a lot for it. also the actual mua was quite professional i think. she told the other girl to not be rude and she did her best. i imagine that it could be more difficult is theyre so used to doing quite light maker on lighter skintones so trying to think of what colours to use for the eyeshadow could be trickier but i think she did very well over all. the foundation is done gorgeously (probs partially due to your lovely skin) and the eyeliner is incredible i love it. personally i would have gone with a more neutral/nude lip instead of the pinky red bc the eyeshadow is kind of a slatey bluey grey but overall it looks nice
Such a shame this cool video has to be spoiled by the rude women in the shop. That other woman called her a garbage animal like really. that was pure jealousy. this young woman is so beautiful like beyond beautiful.
I like how the MUA checked her assistant.. she’s aware and that’s important. I’m Chinese and the truth is, Chinese people are very nice, and not as racist as people in the states. It’s just that a lot of people are ignorant and uneducated on these matters so they ask stupid questions without intending to offend.
@@ily5540 I’m not justifying their behaviour or biases since I am Chinese, but imma be completely honest and tell you that Chinese people say or behave racist cause they don’t know any better but it doesn’t come from a bad place, once they get to know you, your cool and they’ll be super down for you.. on the other hand, I find that Americans are covertly racist
@@dodongai I can agree in the last part but just because they didn’t mean it to be offensive or hurtful doesn’t mean I can’t get offended or hurt as well, everyone is aware of racism/ discrimination, highly doubt they don’t know if they are able to tell me I’m too dark, I’m ugly, I look poor because of my skin, being pushed and no sorry. Hate is everywhere there’s no more or less in any racial group.
wdym Chinese people aren't as racist as the ones in the states? Asians tend to be the most racist ones. I wish it was the other way around because i really love Asian cultures from Japanese ,to Chinese ,to Korean...etc but they tend to be the most racist ones from my experience.
Lmfaoo I love that your friend gave the same energy back 😭 this is my mindset lol we can both share a cell in hell cuz I do not believe in taking the high road anymore.
I'm Chinese, and i'm sorry for what you've experience badly in a kinda racism situation. Simply. she is rude. This also applies to some people asking the minorities in China, why you are dark skin (some ignorance people do ask!) So, i would suggest educate her, then just move on, you did amazing job here on youtube!
I think she did a good job with the makeup. While you could definitely done without the assistant, the MUA made you look nice. It didn't look like the picture but it still suited you.
The make-up artist actually did a decent job. And I honestly liked the final look. It's completely understandable if she doesn't have much experience working on people with a dark skin color. The assistant on the other hand....so nonchalantly rude and ignorant. Though, I do think it was a bit sad for the makeup artist to be portrayed this way. You could've said which color eyeshadow and lipstick you wanted, instead of just laughing at each thing she did
Omg their reactions made me feel so sad 🥺how is not possible they don't know that people have different skin colors, I feel like they should know that by now ..and when the girl said that thing about shower and the makeupartist asked if she should add white foundation I was like ..wtf is wrong with these people😳😳 You're so mentally strong for not getting pissed at them because they were so rude and you did not deserve to be treated like that. Anyway you look beautiful as always!🤗 I really enjoy watching your videos 😍
Passing through and wanted to say that you are so beautiful -- seriously. Pretty and beautiful at the same time, you can't beat that. You got flawless skin, high cheekbones, defined upper body. My golly! I can see why pale individuals would be jealous or intimidated by dark skin women. You got it all
I lived in Shanghai twice! My Chinese is just okay but I know when they ask to be rude/sly lol. The internet is blocked but she knows better, I’m sure. I thought the make up was cute at the end❤️
I think the lady did great all things considered. I also love your bravery to give the Chinese lady a chance. Working with such a different complexion must have been a first for her. Also, you have great skin!!! I think for me, the best part of this video is just your winning attitude, I enjoyed that part the most. You didn't get offended by the behaviour, I enjoyed watching you.
When she said "because you don't take showers" my mouth dropped to the floor and dislocated immediately. I surely hope that was out of uneducated ignorance and not ignorant malice. Damn it sure sounded like it could go either way. My ex of 5 years was Chinese. He disclosed to me about China's views on dark skin. He told me is that because Chinese people are kind of isolated (blame the government) that their opinions on dark skin is like a child finding a new interesting thing that is bizarre to the child but normal to everyone else. Some truly think dark skin is dirt due to the government and ads (also partially run by the government). He told me some are actually just fascinatedly ignorant, some are blissfully ignorant and following what politics say and others are just racist.
You handled yourself with such grace when the lady was saying those things. you set such an example of grace under pressure.. amazing to see because I was fuming but seeing you handle yourself that way helped me breathe.. first time seeing your videos and I subscribed immediately...your personality is genuine and I'm excited to see more...thanks for sharing your experience!
You are so patient. I'm Chinese and honestly I cringe at the levels of racism that exist there. A lot of the times it's ignorance but it can still be very hurtful. You are handling it with so much grace! And educating them at the same time, I'm sure.
She did an awesome job for her first time doing make-up on dark skin. I certainly was uncomfortable listening to those rude racists comments as if she never seen black people on TV or something you handled that well.
There is always a story behind every theory. I hope that the attendant's eyes were opened after this and that revelation came and that she learnt something! For a first time Busola, she really didn't do that bad. She actually did well dealing with someone of colour. They really say that "Experience is the greatest teacher." Let's hope both of them glean from this experience.
To me, i found it a bit rude when the assistant says why your skin is dark? Because you don’t shower? A bit off to me yet salute to Busola she handled it out great. Love her patience and understandinggggg
I cannot believe how many black women had to adapt to this kind of approach and continue to smile, living and doing their job in the morning. Otherwise they will be called crazy, angry and violent.
The assistant was definitely rude but your girl Aqsa was ON IT! She had me cackling at the replies she gave. She saw her friend was being talked badly about then came in eloquently swinging back 😂
I would have asked that rude worker to get from around me with all that negative energy. The fact that she was taking pictures before the makeup even happened and touching the girl's hair, making a spectacle of a human being sitting in a makeup chair shows she had ill intention and felt like she was at the zoo looking at a zoo animal. I'm glad the friend checked her all the way back to her seat. The makeup didn't look like the picture but it turned out decent.
You handled yourself like a queen, you showed everyone how educated and classy you are. Many would have cursed her out or smack her and then get arrested in China.
@@deborahilo6792 no they have internet, that’s bullshit and we always think Chinese people are innocent but they hide their racism with these innocent questions
Girl, you are so beautiful, graceful, and classy. I could not believe that comment about your skin color…😳 I was mortified. I commend you for your patience as I would not have been so kind. 😂 She did do a great job with your make up on the flip side.
Girl u r so beautiful. Ur facial bone structure, ur eyes are so good. That assistant was so rude oh god. She never studied biology as well as geography. Because Indians looks totally different from Africans. She was so ignorant person.
"50 shades of animal ", Whatt??? Racism is so casual in China. How dare that woman compares you to an animal 😤😔🤧😳 Busola! You need to counterract racist tropes like these. You should challenge and teach them that Africans are not animals as they are taught. I am so livid.
As an anthropology major, I would have LOVED to have the opportunity to explain to someone why I look different than them!! If they are so bold to ask you those questions in an intimate setting, then they may also be so bold to take that information back and share it with others in their circle, who may then go on to share it with their friends and families, so on and so on. It doesn't take much to share the story of how humans migrated from Africa, and as they went away from the equator the melanin in their skin adapted, as did their physical features (nostrils/noses, eye shape, bone structure, body types), to fit the environments. It took thousands of years, but this is why people look so different. So, kind of? In a way it does have something to do with the sun, but over thousands of years and so many generations that you can't fathom. And you can also share that you all have a common ancestor, so you are related if you go back far enough, that will REALLY blow their mind! People need to understand the kinship we have to each other, and how we are not so different, so we can stop seeing each other as "us vs them" and see it more as a garden of flowers, different looking, but the same.
hey! im chinese, and first of all, your verbal chinese is very good, you sound so natural! super good for living in china for 4 years :) also, wow, that makeup attendant is seriously ignorant and rude. unfortunately a lot of people are like that in our country. sometimes they genuinely don't know genetics well, but often times, they know and it's unfortunately just plain racism. they don't care. many local schools don't even teach much about racism. it's really sad, but people are changing and getting better (the makeup artist herself even educated the attendant and she was much better!). you handled it so well honestly, you didn't even have to be so polite to her comments but you were. btw the makeup artist did a good job :)
I’m actually shocked she asked if you were black because you don’t bathe… I’m trying to figure out if it’s ignorance or just plain rude! I’m not shocked that she said it but more so that she said it so directly in your face!
I totally agree
You just gotta laugh to keep from crying 🤧🤦🏾♀️

Its both. I'm sure that chinese people know about people from different parts of the world. Because they've put themselves in most corners of the world. Why would she ask such a question 🤔. There is no excuse for this. Times have changed so much. If I had said why is your eyes like that it would be called asian hate. I am no more visibly different than they are. The world is different. All kinds of people exist in it. With the social media don't tell me that she has never seen a dark skin person before. Slave mentality. White skin is beautiful and if you're dark skin then you must be dirty because you don't bath. She probably wasn't trying to he rude but by now she should know how to be respectful to other cultures as this young lady wasn't. When people do this they need to be put in their place by means of education. She should've schooled her and I wouldn't bother with the makeup. They've been doing this for a long time. And now there's talking about asian hate. But what about their hate. I know this wasn't about hate. Just saying.
I feel she did out of curiosity, ilike the way Busola handled it... Her friend on the other hand went 😤😤
As a Singaporean Chinese her shower comment was kinda direct and rude (in my opinion), I’m glad Mua educated her that people have different skin colours due to genes! And you handled that so well with grace :)
Singaporean is Malaysia?
Ps don't represent Singaporeans and condemned China ok karma will come to you and please be more grateful when Singapore economy can soooooo stabilise when Singaporeans business man do business very long in China if not will bye bye in 1999 Asia economy crisis.
@@gohyonghongluke3443 the hell you talking about?!
Lmaooo all the triggered comments
@@gohyonghongluke3443 How did she condemn China? She condemned the woman's action not the whole country of China. Or do you feel that when a person condemns a person of Chinese decent then they are condemning China? Karma simply means action. Karma has nothing to do with punishment or rewards. I am an African American; and no disrespect but your comment made no sense to me
I’m glad that the make up said “she shouldn’t be asking” when the other woman was asking those ridiculously blunt straight to the face questions.
❤️❤️
asking a person why their skin color is darker because they don't take a bath is really offensive. That person must skip science and ethics subject during elementary lol
Why doesnt anyone in this comment section understand that China has different education and they dont necessarily get taught the same things as western people do?
You have no idea if they even did science or ethics in elementary.
@@Nadia-nt8gb I've taught in primary and middle schools in china. There's no west or east, it's called common sense or logic.... instead students here are taught to repeat out loud whatever the teachers say. That's not secret at all to anybody that a lot of time there's communist propaganda being taught, so it ends up with people being adults knowing only 2 countries 国内 and 国外. or in exceptional cases 美国 and 英国 for white people and 非洲 for black.
@@Nadia-nt8gb not really, i went to a school in asia, and we do get educated about skin colour and colorism
@@GOLDWING-x1b you said asia, that doesnt necessarily mean china which is where the people in the vidoe were raised. (i assume)
@@Nadia-nt8gb Asian views are mostly similar, like European views.
It’s a real shame how our whole focus as been on the rude lady. However, the actual makeup artist did a great job considering that china is not a very diverse country & even tried to shut down what the other lady said. I’m a black woman and sometimes even as black people we still say really racist stupid things. So let’s continue to educate each other
Well said, did you create Shakespeare? (This is a compliment plus you seem like the L.A teachers favorite haha)
No, China is actually pretty diverse, they have large land, different ethnic groups have been on the land since ancient times. The skin colour and feature also more varied than other east asian countries. You might confuse them with Korea where the land is small, basically only have 99 % of korean ethnicity and was very closed off until recent years. So their comments here were just plain rude, there are other beauty shops who would treat her better. But when blackface is still constantly being shown in The Spring Festival Gala, which is like the biggest event in China shown by the State TV broadcast throughout China and across the world even as recent as last year, I think it would take a looooong time for racial insensitive comments to go away from the land so it s fine to call them out constantly and vehemently.
@@mix4715 Though China is diverse, some people are uneducated and have never met someone that was black. Yes some Chinese people have darker skin tones, barley any of them were born with naturally black skin. Yes their comments were rude but so is a black person asking an asian why their eyes are so small, other beauty shops might treat her better but this isn't the only bad one. There's many of them like that and it's hard to make them change because that's what they've known their entire life. Calling out asians because of their lack of education is wrong, it's just rude.
@@gwendybendy Nah, then how would they know if people stay silent then ? How would change be make if people dont constantly calling them out when micro aggresion and racist acts happened ? Of course it would be wrong for a black person to ask that esp if they are from a diverse country, but you also free to call them out on that. I dont get the "whataboutism" here ? What is the purpose ?
Thank you, I'm am also impressed with the makeup artist. She is very professional and not overconfident.
nah i can’t believe she asked that question do ppl really lack education to the point where they don’t know darker skinned people exist😭
Some people are just plain fools
There are so many dumb people exist in this world
Yes u r right
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING BRO 😭
Yes they do, also in some of the richest countries in Europe. One German girl with a master degree asked my classmate why all asians look exactly the same.
As a Chinese, I feel sorry for another women's rude words. There are always some people in the world judging people by groups in order to show their superiorities.
why would you need to feel sorry.m..it's not like you caused this lady to ask her in this way....lol stop making as if every Chinese is like this lady....跪的也太久了吧 lol
@@whitesnowable yep you're right. In every race there will always be rude people.
Imagined superiorities*
In no way shape or form is a Chinese superior to any race and especially not black people
The only superior being that has ever lived was Jesus Christ, not a single other living being is superior to anyone we are all beautifully faulty, flawed and imperfect!! I'm sure you had good intentions with your comment and only meant to be supportive and didn't mean to infer anyone was superior.
As a Chinese person I would like to say that I'm so so sorry about that girls behavior. Even though I'm Chinese myself, I tend to be afraid of Chinese people, because (some) Chinese people tend to be a bit blunt and straightforward to the point it's kind of rude. So its hard to hide how hurt you are sometimes. (You did a great job staying calm and strong when she said such rude things by the way. I however was not that resilient 😔) One day I just went to visit my grandparents in China and they had a friend over. And the moment their friend looked at me. They said why does your granddaughter have such big eyebags? She looks so tired. And then the conversation carried on like nothing happened. And the moment the guy left the house I burst into tears. So, for anyone reading this I hope you remember to stay strong if you are being treated this way, and stand up for yourself! Don't let people mistreat you! And if your saying rude things without a care, please remember to think about how your words can affect others. Thank you for reading my comment! ❤️ Stay strong guys :)
She was not taught social skills as a child, some older generation are used to their parents talking very bluntly to them, hence they don't realize that this is bad manners, Also she's very curious as has not been to the outside world but Busulo exceptionally graceful, mature, self assured young lady with high self esteem not to react negatively. Great credit to her and her upbringing. When my friend (from Barbados) and myself were in St Anton (Austria) in 1972 on holiday, we were surrounded by some ladies who had great interest in her hair and gently stroked her arm but we could not understand what they were ask in German. No one felt offended, just bemused.
@@catherinehui795 thank you for sharing!
So are you a Chinese god or responsible for other people's bad behavior? Or else why do you apologize for her ignorance and stupidity?
im so sorry about that too
Interesting thing is that Prejudice against others based on skin color happens much more often among polite people, but less often among straightforward, or rude as you called it, people.
She actually did very good with your make-up. I highly commend you for your patience to the disrespectful comments. This is present day with technology as a great advantage so there is no longer the excuse of people "not knowing any better ". Love your vlog!

Curiosity? No she was being a BITCH. I would have said, " Did Gid decide nit to finish creating you?? "Is that why your skin is raw??" " Do you have leprosy??" I woupd have dished it right back and got up and left.
We all come from Africa. ONE love
The makeup artist lady was also getting a bit annoyed. She had to tell the assistant to stop asking rude questions and had to INFORM HER that it’s because we have different genes. 🥲
I respect her for that
No shower....thats really rude 😅😅😅
Exactly! also proud of Aqsa for standing up for her
The makeup artist lady has some of my respect
The no shower comment from the assistant is super discriminating! That's not funny at all!
I love how your friend defended you, that was so sweet! And how she shut down that ignorant lady lmao
❤❤❤
I experienced this several times when I lived in China. Questions are insensitive but I do believe it stems from ignorance and curiosity most of the time. However, that shower comment, no. She was being rude. To imply that someone has poor hygiene is considered rude. She said that because she doesn’t see this black women as human on the same level that she is. To imply that someone is black because they don’t clean themselves. Cleaning in necessary for all humans. Our cleaning rituals vary from culture to culture, but we all must clean ourselves to remain healthy. We all clean unless we lack access and/or choose not to for some reason.
When people ask why your hair is so long? How can your hair be so beautiful? Same thing. You are human and hair growth is a human function. That’s why. Therefore, we’re all capable of growing hair UNLESS there is some type of abnormality or circumstance.
I think it’s subconscious, but still racist. She went too far, thus the woman checked her.
She literally called her a dirty person smh
I feel like she purposely said it to offend because when she touched her hair look at her face she was smirking as if her hair is “weird” or something like no offense but that lady is not even on same level as the girl from TH-cam when it comes to the looks💀
I mean she's so much more beautiful than her so she's reaching at this point 🤣the jealousy gave her the strength to make that rude remark
Um some cultures really dont shower everyday. That aside the woman is being intentionally mean. Chinese bullies are literally everywhere. Black fans is code named for anti fan. Black anything essentially means dirty or evil most of the time in chinese phrases.
She was so rude. Who raised her like this? "Why are you black? Is it because you don't take a shower everyday?" What!
Imagine
At her grown ahh age too
It's because there's no history of racism against African descents in China like in Europe and America. Some people literally have no contact to people with dark skin in their whole lives. People like that assistant girl probably never learned english, graduated only from an elementary school, never heard of slavery in the US, thus never developed sensibility to voice around them.
Uh
@Myllena Silva I wasn't defending them. Btw, lots of Asian people also got bullied/discriminated/assaulted by the African descents in many western countries. Maybe you don't pay attention to the cases because you are not in asian communities. You are already treating them worse.
I think it's curious that even the MUA thought we would use their color of foundation. Like it never even crossed their mind that there were darker shades of make up. Ignorance is really binding at some points. It's astounding really what we don't know that we don't know.
But side note that extra glitter sealed the deal for me. I really liked it 😆💜
I think it’s because people in China wear lighter foundation to appear very pale so she’s used to putting a lighter foundation on most of her clients, but at one point the MUA told the makeup attendant to stop with her comments so I think she was pretty respectful, maybe just a little ignorant about the fact that not everyone wants to look pale like they do in China but she never said anything intentionally rude like the other girl
it’s not about ignorance but more about knowing your clients. she’s working and living in china and the people there have paler skin what would she do with a lot of darker shade foundations if 99% of her clients are pale to medium toned skin? stop trying to twist everything to be racist.
@@hb2953 unless you're responding to the wrong post you're the only one bringing up racism here...
The client was black and the MUA artist didn't know darker skinned people use or maybe even in general that there was foundation to match darker shades of skin. I'm pretty sure that fits the definition of ignorance so I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. I was just saying in general sometimes you get hit with knowledge that you didn't even know was a part of the world and it can be weird and jarring. We've even made a trend I out of it "I was today years old when I learned..." It happens everyday but it's just about exposure, and growing up with the internet you would think we would be exposed to everything but research in and of itself is still a skill. You have to know what you're looking for, how to find it, and how to determine its validity.
I get that but in a lot of places in South East Asia they will wear foundation that is even too light for their own skin to appear more white skinned. It's really a western thing to wear foundation that matches our skin tones
@@usagiprincess4387 agreed
You have a pretty facial bone structure 💕
As a Chinese, I want to add that she is relatively rude. But one thing I want to add is that makeup migrant workers at her age are very likely to have an education level of about elementary or junior high school. And she probably only heard of black people and never saw it. The refutation method of a friend in the video is completely fine, because she really does not know that her questions and ideas are problematic, and it is okay to tell her directly or refute her.
Asking a person if they do not take a bath everyday no matter their skin colour, appearance etc is very rude. She could have stopped with why the skin is dark. She meant to insult. There is no excuse for it.
@@zikaenendu6214 As I said above, in fact, many people like her who come from low education in rural areas do not have basic common sense in the Internet era. Like many villagers who entered the city for the first time, she might not even know that she would need to take off their shoes and put on slippers when entering the door, or that she would need to wash their hands before eating. You think she is deliberately insulting, but in fact, she is just ignorant. The true thing you can do is to tell her what she can't do and what she needs to do just like teach a baby.
@@xiaoz56 Makes sense. Is human evolution and human biology taught at high school level? I figured most developed nations with an educated population would understand why and how humans can look different.
@@xiaoz56 I am sorry but you don't need education to know that it's hurtful to say "is it because you never shower". ANYONE will know that hearing something like that just makes you uncomfortable. And if that wasn't enough she continued AFTER being told to stop by her superior. That girl needs some better parenting and I am glad that friend showed her what she's acting like.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 The true thing is basic manners also need to be educated by the family, and their families have a high probability that their parents are not well-educated and go out to work in big cities to earn money, and their children are almost free-range left-behind children. To put it simply, their parents or above have insufficient basic education, not to mention the children who have been raised. However, the overall base of society is improving, and the educational level of the new generation will be more than the before generation.
They should have asked “why are you so beautiful “
And here we have two good examples
When you actually don't know: the make up artist was asking about the different colour of foundation
When you are rude: the assistant asking if she doesn't take baths every day
Let's appreciate that the make up artist was annoyed and stopped her before she could be even worse
I respect the artist for trying to stop them from asking such rude questions about her skin especially since she did a great job with what she could work with for your makeup
When asked if she can do the style she is honest and said "I'll try." How humble she is. Other than the shade of lipstick I think the overall style is very good.
The MUA and Asqa getting that lady together was a mood!
With how much information is available on the internet, it’s unacceptable that people still make ignorant comments like that woman did. She should be ashamed. I’ll stop now before I call her a bad name 😬
Actually internet in China is very different from what you can imagine... I can see racist comments everywhere uncensored on bilibili. Some people genuinely don't know their words are disrespectful... I feel weird too.
@@HeyiMSnsdtvpG Living under communist rule will do that to you.
@@Jkd_77 With how much information is available on the internet, it's unacceptable that Americans believe there is a genocide and ccp is evil
@@elnorton7113 I found the CCP plant
I'm not going to defend these people, but more than half of the population of China lives in rural areas where having internet is barely a known. Seeing a person of darker color and ethnicity would be shocking to them since they've never encountered them. Thats why when people raised in rural areas visit big cities in China and they spot a person that looks "different" from them, they would take pictures. Also building up racist, ignorant, and uneducated stereotypes like the one the chick said.
Happy you gave her a taste of her own medicine. She probably was embarrassed asking such a dumb question
I love the way you stayed cool, after she asked you for the reason why your skin is dark. Your reaction was awesome, others would have completely freak out and become angry. And I think it's weird that she continue doing your makeup and touching your face like, theirs no probleme after she assumed that your skin is dark, because "of not showering". I didn't know if she was serious or not, because it didn't just make sense to me.
It was not the one who is the doing makeup who said that . It was another Chinese behind scene
@@MedschoolwithNil I re-watched the scene 😅 you are right
! thank you, I was actually busy not reading the subtitles and trying to understand what they are saying, I even thought "Mua" is a friend of Deborah speaking and the "Makeup attendant" the person who is doing the make up hahaha my fault, thank you for clearing up !
I'm Chinese and i have been enjoying your videos for a while and command your effort of reaching out to people in China. There are still ignorant and narrow minded people in China like any other country. But most are friendly and open like any other country as well. I am very sorry that you encountered this rude af assistant and you were amazing and handled it so well, in the end, that assistant is the one that felt shame for her actions. Hope to see more videos from you showing life as black people in China!
the make-up was done perfectly well, the fact that she said she will try when you asked her if she can do that kind of makeup. it shows that she is a true professional. cos as a true professional you don't have to mind about skin color, cos you are an artist. i love her so much for being a professional also for telling that ignorant lady not to be asking such questions. PS: can you share her WeChat contact, i would love to have her do my makeup when i go back to china.
As a Chinese person, the off cam makeup attendant was straight up rude. Might not be ill intended, but very rude. The excuse of China being a very homogenous country with few foreigners in the comment section isn't a valid excuse.
As like OP said, there's a lot of dark skinned Chinese people in China, which are even more present in southern China. Furthermore, it's not like black people doesn't on Chinese social media or that black celebrities doesn't exist in China. And it's not like Chinese people don't know asking people if they are taking shower or not bc of their skin color is rude or not. No excuse at all, from any angle.
I'm glad MUA said to that person, "don't talk nonsense. We're not the same race. They're black, we're yellow." or that the makeup attendant shouldn't ask this rude question in the first place.
I'm also amazed how OP handled it so gently with so much patience. I was even more amazed by OP taking her time to talk abt science to that makeup attendant.
Because of you I’m learning chinese in Africa
I’m chinese too (chinese-american) and yeah tbh china is very discriminatory towards all dark-skinned people, including darker Chinese people. they just hate dark skin, the country being homogenous is no excuse, as you said.
I’ve visited family in Asia who have never met or have rarely met a black person in their life. So I’ve been asked some ignorant questions due to me being an American. That being said, there’s a difference between that and being straight up rude.
@@REChronic54 exactly. I've been asked a few ignorant questions as a French, but it was never straight up this rude. And every time I gave the explanation, they had the "I'm so dumb" face and apologized to me for being ignorant and unintentionally rude. I also had aunties that don't even know how to use internet nor watch TV, but they still won't be this rude. They might be ignorant on issues like racism, cultural appropriation or black face. But they sure know about how skin colors work.
Hence, I said, "The excuse of China being a very homogenous country with few foreigners in the comment section isn't a valid".
Thanks for the great video! You handled that awkward/uncomfortable/disrespectful encounter so nicely. Your friend behind the camera made me laugh so hard!
I haven't seen blatant racism like this in awhile. It made me sad to see her go through the racism and then have her "friend" or whoever the girl was at the end that was sitting on the couch, compare her to animals. It reminded me of when I was in highschool and was constantly going through racism but stayed quiet or smiled through the racism. You're beautiful and you handled it amazingly though! 😎❤️
I think her and her friend likes to joke around. It’s harmless joking. The makeup attendant was rude tho
@@SM-qn7sr agreed.
Her friend was definitely a joke. I think you missed the "it's revenge time" part
Omo the assistance ehnnnn...
Don't know if it was curiosity or stupidity o. At this time and age someone still assumes we are dark because we don't bathe, like really?
Thank God I wasn't the one she was attending to, she'll get a very big schooling
There is ignorance from lack of exposure and then there is just plain stupidity….that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard how can someone even think that without realizing how stupid they are
Actually chinise don't take shower often especially at school their domitories don't have showering systems the shower place is far from the domitory and they have to pay for it even their apartments tye apartments with a bathroom to shower is expensive than that without the showering bathroom 😂
its actually very common for people to say that to darker skinned people. im only tanned, but i have gotten that comment a lot. sometimes ppl just say it to tease bc they think it is funny, but i think here she ACTUALLY believes it. there is always people like that
We all come from Africa, One love.
Chinese people are ethnocentric so maybe she genuinely didn't know.
Haha ! I am impressed by girl who said why your eyes is small? Why your nose is small ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 How can she { chinese lady } say direct you are black , why ? Being black doesn't mean you don't get shower or something! 😒😒😒 I literally feel angry . But you two guys made everything so light with your smile and answer😂😂😂❣️
You look gorgeous like a Barbie doll . 💝
I think she did pretty well with the makeup for her first time making up a black woman. Love what you do dear busola.
There is ignorance from lack of exposure and then stupidity……the attendant was stupid. She said stupid things she acted stupidly even the artist was uncomfortable with some of her questions “is it because you don’t shower” WHAT????
I love how your friend stood up for you! I need a friend like that!❤️whew😂ask her why her eyes are small. I’ve literally gotten that question many times and the whole ordeal about the sun. Meanwhile summer in China is the brightest burning sun I’ve experienced in my life🤦🏾♀️
This was chaotic!!! the fact that she actually did a good job but the focus keeps shifting is on the ignorance of the assistant, your friend is gathering her and I love it
The makeup looks great 😍 she did a good job you look beautiful with and without it but dang The assistant low-key made me mad 😑 I could never be that patient with someone😩
2 bottles of chilled coke for Aqsa please 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️ Energyyyyy ...
that makeup assistant was so rude. i was like "oh ignorance, she just doesnt quite understand" but then the shower comment?!?! that was disgusting. your response was so calm and i respect you a lot for it. also the actual mua was quite professional i think. she told the other girl to not be rude and she did her best. i imagine that it could be more difficult is theyre so used to doing quite light maker on lighter skintones so trying to think of what colours to use for the eyeshadow could be trickier but i think she did very well over all. the foundation is done gorgeously (probs partially due to your lovely skin) and the eyeliner is incredible i love it. personally i would have gone with a more neutral/nude lip instead of the pinky red bc the eyeshadow is kind of a slatey bluey grey but overall it looks nice
Such a shame this cool video has to be spoiled by the rude women in the shop. That other woman called her a garbage animal like really. that was pure jealousy. this young woman is so beautiful like beyond beautiful.
Yea word...like did her friend really called her 50 shades on animal????
I like how the MUA checked her assistant.. she’s aware and that’s important. I’m Chinese and the truth is, Chinese people are very nice, and not as racist as people in the states. It’s just that a lot of people are ignorant and uneducated on these matters so they ask stupid questions without intending to offend.
Hmm, I’ve met some super racist Chinese people as a black person, and I live in the states and surely they were like that before coming to the states.
For me it’s the opposite I’ve received racism mostly in Asia compared to the states.
@@ily5540 I’m not justifying their behaviour or biases since I am Chinese, but imma be completely honest and tell you that Chinese people say or behave racist cause they don’t know any better but it doesn’t come from a bad place, once they get to know you, your cool and they’ll be super down for you.. on the other hand, I find that Americans are covertly racist
@@dodongai I can agree in the last part but just because they didn’t mean it to be offensive or hurtful doesn’t mean I can’t get offended or hurt as well, everyone is aware of racism/ discrimination, highly doubt they don’t know if they are able to tell me I’m too dark, I’m ugly, I look poor because of my skin, being pushed and no sorry. Hate is everywhere there’s no more or less in any racial group.
wdym Chinese people aren't as racist as the ones in the states? Asians tend to be the most racist ones. I wish it was the other way around because i really love Asian cultures from Japanese ,to Chinese ,to Korean...etc but they tend to be the most racist ones from my experience.
Lmfaoo I love that your friend gave the same energy back 😭 this is my mindset lol we can both share a cell in hell cuz I do not believe in taking the high road anymore.
I'm Chinese, and i'm sorry for what you've experience badly in a kinda racism situation.
Simply. she is rude. This also applies to some people asking the minorities in China, why you are dark skin (some ignorance people do ask!)
So, i would suggest educate her, then just move on, you did amazing job here on youtube!
I think she did a good job with the makeup. While you could definitely done without the assistant, the MUA made you look nice. It didn't look like the picture but it still suited you.
“Why is your skin so black, don’t you take a bath?”
Miss must’ve skipped science class because not everyone is born with bleached porcelain skin
lmao even her skin is too dark for her people's standards. like, don't put that juju on us😂 we black people are dark for a very good reason
The make-up artist actually did a decent job. And I honestly liked the final look. It's completely understandable if she doesn't have much experience working on people with a dark skin color. The assistant on the other hand....so nonchalantly rude and ignorant.
Though, I do think it was a bit sad for the makeup artist to be portrayed this way. You could've said which color eyeshadow and lipstick you wanted, instead of just laughing at each thing she did
Lily would never ask such dumb questions! I can’t imagine being so rude to a customer.
@LightLight the make up lady even told the other to shut if she can't say anything nice but in a nice way. 🤣
@WolfHunter的野爹 the lady that asked was an employee
@@blurpblurp yes, but the woman who asked was still an employee there
this makes me so embarrassed as an Asian, so sorry you had to hear those things. You look so so stunning 💓
yall Aqsa is my gurl , the way she handled this rude woman was so satisfying!
This girl is absolutely beautiful! This is the first video of hers that I have seen and she is stunning!
Omg their reactions made me feel so sad 🥺how is not possible they don't know that people have different skin colors, I feel like they should know that by now ..and when the girl said that thing about shower and the makeupartist asked if she should add white foundation I was like ..wtf is wrong with these people😳😳
You're so mentally strong for not getting pissed at them because they were so rude and you did not deserve to be treated like that.
Anyway you look beautiful as always!🤗 I really enjoy watching your videos 😍
Girl! I am addicted to u and your vlogs ❣️
Her skin is so flawless she doesn't even need foundation!
Aqsa is s funny! And even tho she called you a "garbage animal" she defended you against the ignorant woman. That's a true friend I guess
The makeup looked lovely, she did a wonderful job for her first time, 👏
You look so gorgeous and you're so kind! Great video as well! Keep going🥰🥰
Passing through and wanted to say that you are so beautiful -- seriously. Pretty and beautiful at the same time, you can't beat that. You got flawless skin, high cheekbones, defined upper body. My golly! I can see why pale individuals would be jealous or intimidated by dark skin women. You got it all
That was a really weird question
I mean its shocking that some people are actually this ignorant
You handled it maturely
Big ups baby girl💪
I lived in Shanghai twice! My Chinese is just okay but I know when they ask to be rude/sly lol. The internet is blocked but she knows better, I’m sure. I thought the make up was cute at the end❤️
I like your attitude when face uncomfort words from that assistant,you stay calm down & make that such not big problem,make all peacefull 👍
You are so beautiful 💗 and you handled that situation perfectly 👏🏽
Your makeup turned out beautifully. Very pretty. Your skin is very clear and pretty.
I think the lady did great all things considered. I also love your bravery to give the Chinese lady a chance. Working with such a different complexion must have been a first for her. Also, you have great skin!!! I think for me, the best part of this video is just your winning attitude, I enjoyed that part the most. You didn't get offended by the behaviour, I enjoyed watching you.
I'm glad your friend set her straight. Just ignorant and rude.
The assistant is incredibly rude and uneducated. The lack of ignorance is just beyond me
Girl u so patient!! After the shower comment I will be throwing hands!!!
Oh my god, Aqsa, the Queen...She was absolutely right...Next time, be rude to them as a response.
When she said "because you don't take showers" my mouth dropped to the floor and dislocated immediately. I surely hope that was out of uneducated ignorance and not ignorant malice. Damn it sure sounded like it could go either way.
My ex of 5 years was Chinese. He disclosed to me about China's views on dark skin. He told me is that because Chinese people are kind of isolated (blame the government) that their opinions on dark skin is like a child finding a new interesting thing that is bizarre to the child but normal to everyone else. Some truly think dark skin is dirt due to the government and ads (also partially run by the government). He told me some are actually just fascinatedly ignorant, some are blissfully ignorant and following what politics say and others are just racist.
The makeup is super beautiful but really simple that's nice. Your Chinese is really good and you're really fluent
You handled yourself with such grace when the lady was saying those things. you set such an example of grace under pressure.. amazing to see because I was fuming but seeing you handle yourself that way helped me breathe.. first time seeing your videos and I subscribed immediately...your personality is genuine and I'm excited to see more...thanks for sharing your experience!
You are so patient. I'm Chinese and honestly I cringe at the levels of racism that exist there. A lot of the times it's ignorance but it can still be very hurtful. You are handling it with so much grace! And educating them at the same time, I'm sure.
She did an awesome job for her first time doing make-up on dark skin. I certainly was uncomfortable listening to those rude racists comments as if she never seen black people on TV or something you handled that well.
There is always a story behind every theory. I hope that the attendant's eyes were opened after this and that revelation came and that she learnt something! For a first time Busola, she really didn't do that bad. She actually did well dealing with someone of colour. They really say that "Experience is the greatest teacher." Let's hope both of them glean from this experience.
Gurl your chinese is awesome!
To me, i found it a bit rude when the assistant says why your skin is dark? Because you don’t shower?
A bit off to me yet salute to Busola she handled it out great. Love her patience and understandinggggg
I cannot believe how many black women had to adapt to this kind of approach and continue to smile, living and doing their job in the morning. Otherwise they will be called crazy, angry and violent.
The assistant was definitely rude but your girl Aqsa was ON IT! She had me cackling at the replies she gave. She saw her friend was being talked badly about then came in eloquently swinging back 😂
Apsa is goals 😋😅. The energy I’m looking for in 2022 👌🏽
I would have asked that rude worker to get from around me with all that negative energy. The fact that she was taking pictures before the makeup even happened and touching the girl's hair, making a spectacle of a human being sitting in a makeup chair shows she had ill intention and felt like she was at the zoo looking at a zoo animal. I'm glad the friend checked her all the way back to her seat.
The makeup didn't look like the picture but it turned out decent.
You handled yourself like a queen, you showed everyone how educated and classy you are. Many would have cursed her out or smack her and then get arrested in China.
You are pretty.
That assistant was trying to make you uncomfortable. You took that turned into something innocent as educating her.
I love the glitter added at the end it’s a cute look
Wow that about shower was so dumb, how can someone be so dumb in 2021?! I’m shocked
@@deborahilo6792 no they have internet, that’s bullshit and we always think Chinese people are innocent but they hide their racism with these innocent questions
@@deborahilo6792 why do y’all always defend them like they’re kids? They are grown and have internet. Yet they ask stupid questions
@@tiktokistrash9965 black people defend them because they think they treat black as goddess there
@@deborahilo6792 the excuses💀
@@tiktokistrash9965 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 next she will say “they don’t have biology class in China they never heard of genes”
Girl, you are so beautiful, graceful, and classy. I could not believe that comment about your skin color…😳 I was mortified. I commend you for your patience as I would not have been so kind. 😂 She did do a great job with your make up on the flip side.
It turned out nice☺️☺️
She did well 🔥❤️😍 Looking beautiful.
Girl u r so beautiful. Ur facial bone structure, ur eyes are so good. That assistant was so rude oh god. She never studied biology as well as geography. Because Indians looks totally different from Africans. She was so ignorant person.
Makeup looks amazing. She put her heart in it. Very very nice.
You are very brave. I’m proud of you. 🙌
im absolutely CACKLING at Asqa pulling out the translation for that read lol. she said hol' up now- lemme get my dictionary
Wow you look beautiful nd the make-up looks good too 💗💋👍
You are so beautiful and I think the makeup did a good job of taking your natural features and glamming it up a bit! You looked so good at the end.
Never hate someone like they way I hate her! She is so RUDE!,
YOU ARE A QUEEN AND GOURGES I LOVE YOU❤
I really enjoyed this video. You have a wonderful sense of humor and handled yourself like the beautiful young lady you are. Your makeup was lovely.💯
"50 shades of animal ", Whatt??? Racism is so casual in China. How dare that woman compares you to an animal 😤😔🤧😳 Busola! You need to counterract racist tropes like these. You should challenge and teach them that Africans are not animals as they are taught. I am so livid.
Yea I thought it was awkward her friend described her lips as monkey....
I was looking for someone commenting on this! Unfortunately South Asia has very deep colorism issues depending on regional colonization
I wonder now if that was the same friend that was defending her against the ignorance and they were just jesting against stereotypes
You look great with makeup and without it. The makeup artist did a wonderful job.I really like the way she arched your 👁️👁️ eye brows.
As an anthropology major, I would have LOVED to have the opportunity to explain to someone why I look different than them!! If they are so bold to ask you those questions in an intimate setting, then they may also be so bold to take that information back and share it with others in their circle, who may then go on to share it with their friends and families, so on and so on. It doesn't take much to share the story of how humans migrated from Africa, and as they went away from the equator the melanin in their skin adapted, as did their physical features (nostrils/noses, eye shape, bone structure, body types), to fit the environments. It took thousands of years, but this is why people look so different. So, kind of? In a way it does have something to do with the sun, but over thousands of years and so many generations that you can't fathom. And you can also share that you all have a common ancestor, so you are related if you go back far enough, that will REALLY blow their mind! People need to understand the kinship we have to each other, and how we are not so different, so we can stop seeing each other as "us vs them" and see it more as a garden of flowers, different looking, but the same.
I like the way they responded to the assistant lady, she was laughing while asking so it seemed like she was trying to be funny..
hey! im chinese, and first of all, your verbal chinese is very good, you sound so natural! super good for living in china for 4 years :) also, wow, that makeup attendant is seriously ignorant and rude. unfortunately a lot of people are like that in our country. sometimes they genuinely don't know genetics well, but often times, they know and it's unfortunately just plain racism. they don't care. many local schools don't even teach much about racism. it's really sad, but people are changing and getting better (the makeup artist herself even educated the attendant and she was much better!). you handled it so well honestly, you didn't even have to be so polite to her comments but you were.
btw the makeup artist did a good job :)
