People still talked about being Italian, Irish, German, Jewish, etc, it was common to label people with their very recent family history of origin.

The pronunciation of moslem sold this bit
I can’t believe I’ve never paid attention to this before! They almost ALWAYS have to mention the nationality or race of a person in question 😂😂😂😂
You forgot to show him short-circuiting when he meets a South African!
Or a Pardo Brazilian
Sometimes I am just interested in peoples ethnicities Im interested in different languages and cultures. Always feels weird to ask though so I try to find out indirectly.
No man, just ask. Nobody cares
Nah, I've spent years backpacking and the number one question I'm asked is "where are you from". It's simply showing interest and the ones who get offended are the ignorant ones.
@@HorusHerotic facts… but don’t worry about those people
Nothing wrong with that but the problem is attaching too much importance to someone's ethnicity
@@HorusHerotic yeah, it only gets weird when people are like “no, where are you REALLY from”
This is basically how my mother describes people. She's not a boomer or anything. She's just racist.
Well, according to her she's not racist. She says she simply feels uncomfortable when she is around people of other races. Which is crazy, cause I could have sworn that that is extremely racist, but she says it's not, so...
Respect your mother
@@jotaleonel4818 Don't exactly have a lot of respect for racist people. Especially when she's so full of herself and denies that she is racist. I don't love nor respect her. How could I?
@@VoidZeroNothing you mother deserves a better kid
@@KingMeeksy her kid deserves a better mom

Respect this: 🖕🏻
The Puerto Rican parade line got me!😂😂
I always just say ive never heard of them then i say "Oh wait, are they a great big fat person?" And i hope they get the joke lol
I'm 32 and this is absolutely how I describe people. lmao
Its always the unnecessary mention of their race lmao
Never forget how my grandmother who had never left her hometown referring the one Japanese guy also living in the town as the "Chinese lookin' fella)
“The cop walks over to me… he’s INDIAN… and-“ LIKE THEY JUST CONTINUE ☠️
you forgot to add them destroying housing, electing reagan, "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" and my favorite, "Stop buying fancy avacado toast and youll be able to afford a house"
As a Puerto Rican who’s grandmother lives in an area where we have street festivals (not parades) this is painfully accurate.
No harm is ever intended.
Yes it is.
@@nmonye01nah you just want it to be so you can act like a victim.
I wouldnt say EVER, but like 85+% of the time its somewhere between well intentioned and harmless
what’s the point of saying it? to other someone.
@@apatheticamortentia to convey relevant information?
I always ask my dad why he needed to mention that and why it was important to the story. Makes him uncomfortable enough to stop most of the time
Honestly i am not sure it is racist
Must to suck listen to any of your stories, no details of any kind as they could offend someone.
@@umberhulk_mk2Justifying racism? Really? Aren't you better than that?
Jose Finkletom is my lawyer!
“Which one’s your friend? Is it the Mexican fella?” STORY OF MY LIFE WHEN I AM DESCRIBED
My grandmother did this and she was born in Gujarat, this transcends culture and space it must be some facet of being old haha
They were all pre-globalization. Also, people cared about upholding their races more.
"So this WHITE guy comes over to me and says..."
Gotta admit, he’s tactful
🤣
I don't know how you were able to get footage of my grandfather like this.
Puerto Ricans sure do love their parades 😂
Omg this is too accurate. It’s almost always unimportant to the story, but from my experience it’s also almost always well intentioned. I can’t tell you how many times a boomer I know mentioned someone’s race in a story and framed it as “isn’t that neat?”
They don’t get how that can be kinda… dehumanizing because they treat it like a spectacle. But personally I’d take the well intentioned people who do stuff like this over the ones who also do stuff like this but on purpose to be hateful about it.
It’s a “he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit” type thing.
Burma changed its name to Myanmar in 1989, and a lot of old people (Boomers) still call it Burma. Cool detail.
“Alright Happy Birthday” 💀💀
UNDERRATED
Painfully true says the African American 63 year old.
Accurate. I got done unloading a semi at work and went to go tell the boomer truck driver and he goes "are you Russian? You look Russian."
