    Do you believe that your race correlates to your skin tone? Because that wasn’t always the case. So how did Americans come to believe that race equals certain visible physical characteristics such as skin color and hair? And why is it that certain ethnic groups that were once considered “non-white” became reclassified as “white”? Watch the episode to find out.

    When I was in college I took a few classes on native American history. I found it very interesting to learn how the official definition of race (and the perceived amount of a mixed race person's "whiteness") was changed to essentially change the definition of if you were "Indian" enough to be considered part of the tribe (or if your children were) and if you were "white" enough to be legally able to look after your own affairs and own your own land. In some instances in history, if you were mixed you were no longer counted as a tribal member by the US government. In other instances, the government policies actively encouraged mixed race marriages because mixed children and grandchildren were considered "white enough" (at least 25%) to have more property rights than their "full-blooded" native parents and grandparents. One of my professors called this "attempted genocide by redefinition."

    As an Indian( from real India), this was very enlightening. We read about the French and American revolution too at school, so that helped. I was very confused what to fill during my graduate school admission forms, as being brown and being Asian was never an option. Also, the authorities didn't believe me at first, because of my fairer complexion( common in Northern, Western and N.Eastern India). Being racially jeered at was not a pleasant experience, but I hope we grow to respect each other as a universal community, Vasudhaiva kutumbakam( the world is one family).

    I don't want to make this a long comment, however, I feel it
    needs to be said. Last year in January, my sister and I visited Charleston, SC.
    We toured several historic houses, the old shipping house, and the slave
    market. I learned SO much on that trip about enslaved persons I did not know.
    What struck me to the heart was the horrible systematic (not systemic)
    institution of the enslaved person that developed in the south even after the Act
    Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 prohibited the importation of
    enslaved people. With already a self-sustaining population of over 4m enslaved
    people, the south agreed to the law knowing it gives rise to a very profitable
    and legal domestic trade. They knew that the number of enslaved people would
    produce more enslaved kids. In many ways, this was a huge advantage and shift in
    how enslaved people were used. First, newly enslaved people needed training,
    conditioning to mold them into their new oppressed role. People born into slavery
    were conditioned from the start to accept their subservient roles. Think about
    this for a minute. If a young child's parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles
    have been in this role for decades, then, of course, you will more easily accept
    it, too. After all, what else would make you think your life would be any
    different? This process squeezed the thought of freedom that came with newly
    enslaved people; making them more obedient and productive. And speaking of more
    productive, the second reason the south was willing to give up the importation
    of newly enslaved people was that established enslaved people could be trained
    with special skills that made them more marketable. Yes, as in selling for a
    profit. Generations of enslaved people could be trained to be great cooks,
    carpenters, domestic help. A highly skilled cook who taught their enslaved
    children special cooking techniques was a highly profitable commodity and bring
    a nice price at the slave market. This practice was fueled in the early-to-mid
    1800s as the country pushed west and the demand for skilled labor rose. Under
    the radar smuggling continued, of course. However, the systematic oppression of
    an entire human race over decades, the crushing of a people’s soul, and desire
    to live free was as regulated by law as it was by greedy whites. For example,
    George Washington wanted to free his enslaved people when he died, but he could
    not do that by law. Because several of them were owned by his wife and her
    children inherited them as property, he was not allowed to grant freedom
    without splitting up enslaved family members. All-in-all, this is all kinds of
    messed up. Think of it, it is the determined systematic and regulated killing
    of the human spirit. Beyond cruel and NOT mentioned in any history book I ever
    read in school. Teach THAT!

      The 3 volume series by Theodore Allen, "The Invention of the White Race" breaks down how race developed in America.
      First, as the video states, there was no concept of race. People were known
      as from the place they came. Englishman, Mexican, etc. Race was invented in America in the 1700s when this country was made a "white" country. Meaning that the rich aristocracy would class collaborate with the peasent European immigrants. This would create white privilege, because anyone who wasn't "white" was second class and disenfranchised by default.

    I love how you said, "Supposedly don't notice." Our brains are hard-wired to notice gender and skin tone; it's a survival mechanism left over from more primitive times. It's what you DO with that information that makes you a racist, or not. We can't help but notice, but we CAN control our reactions.
    This also supports what I was taught in college - race is purely a social construct with no genetic backing whatsoever.

    I've watched several of your videos. You have an amazing ability to articulate facts in an efficient and easy to understand way, prioritizing to most important information for the video duration. Wow. And you are clearly well read and know your facts. In my humble opinion, if you want to elevate your already amazing videos to the next level, rely less on quotes from trusted authorities and present your own hypothesis for consideration. I want to know what you think, your best guess. I want you to reply less on restating facts, some of which are quoted by many others, and add more of your intuition and ideas. Anybody can state history, what will set you apart is bringing "you" to the conversation, giving me something to think about. If I agree, I will watch more. If I disagree, I will watch even more because you hit an emotional cord and I will be unable to help myself from finding out what you will say next. People want to be right. They can either be right about agreeing with you or right about not agreeing with you. Either way they will watch you more than those who just state facts and data over and over.

There were MORE white slaves in Africa, before Europeans ever stepped foot in Africa. And more white slaves, than, Black African slaves in America. At the time of the Civil War, there were 4 million. Africa had ten times that amount.

Then they invaded what we call England today in 820 A.D. Black DNA runs all thru that area. Scotland had a black King in 920 A.D. Shakespeare even wrote a play about him, "Othello". Also, fact is Muslim Slave Ships. They kidnapped thousands of Scot's & Irish. Anybody standing or living near a sea shore, they'd kidnap them. We had problems with the Barbary Pirates in the 1800's.

      Iranians' place in the racial hierarchy created by those people is complicated. On the one hand, Iranians speak an Indo-European, Aryan language, which makes them like Europeans (although in linguistic terms no European language is actually Aryan, but that seems to have escaped a lot of Europeans' notice). On the other, European history is often considered to have begun with ancient Greeks, and the ancient Persians were the habitual enemies of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and so were always portrayed by classical historians as wicked, despotic, and decadent Orientals in contrast to the virtuous and uncorrupted Greeks and Romans. But then Christianity came along and picked up the Jewish scriptures, in which the monotheistic Persians are portrayed as virtuous and enlightened rulers in contrast to the wicked, decadent, and polytheistic Babylonians. So Europeans have never known exactly what to make of Iran and its history.
      But today the religious divide between Muslims and Christians, as well as the unfortunate enmity following the Iranian Revolution, is probably what drives most Americans' prejudice against Iranians.

      To be fair, the word "Hindu" was given to people who lived on the east of the river Indus by ancient invaders. The word doesn't have any significance in "Hindu scripture" because they were followers of Sanatan Dharma. As per this nomenclature and ancient understanding of race, Hindu is a race. There is an idea that you can't "convert" and become a Hindu because you have to be born a Hindu. It makes sense because of the relationship of the term and geography.
      Your critique is accurate as well because I don't think the US census included Hindu in their forms because of their knowledge of ancient India. It was probably because of ignorance.

      Hinduism seems about as legit as skin color (when it comes to grouping people). Two randomly chosen people of the same religion will likely have more in common than two of a similar same skin color. But i agree, Hinduism is not what we consider a “race”. They were probably just ignorant. I’m just saying that race always gets way more attention than it needs when it comes to grouping people.

    First- I did learn about these things in school, but I’ll say I learned about them most in depth in college. But thinking about it, in elementary school you have social studies and not just history, so you learn geography and a little bit of social sciences in addition to some history. So the history isn’t that in depth, but you’re also 10yo or younger in elementary school. In middle school you do social studies also which I know they start learning about ancient cultures and world religions, etc and then in 8th grade you take American history. I don’t know what you guys took, but in high school i had 3 years of world history, one year of government and one year of economics. In college, I took African American literature, and that is where I learned a ton of American history because you have to understand the history before you can understand how it relates to the writing. So really, when I see people talking at what they didn’t learn in school, I am usually surprised, but when you look at it, if you took classes like I did, you really don’t get much time literally learning American history. Makes sense. It bothers me so much when people say they didn’t learn anything useful in school- what are the odds that for 13 years literally all of your teachers did nothing and wasted your time... and the other 30 kids in the class, too... and their own... all i can think of is Jake Paul’s stupid ass diss track to teachers when I see people saying that stuff online.

    One thing I fail to understand, is how being of Hispanic origin, got to be its own category (ethnicity rather than race). Its all very confusing.
    I think the fact that we come in so many colors is kinda awesome, and quite beautiful. Lumping people into categories is kinda useless when each person is unique.

After that I lost track because it's all so damn arbitrary.

    I can’t believe she didn’t mention the “one drop rule.” Basically it was a belief in the US during the late 18th and early 19th centuries where if ANY part of your ancestry was of African descent, you were considered black. This was justified to keep people enslaved. Wish she would have mentioned that...

      Let's say you take an animal...idk a lion. So you take the entire population of that animal and split it into two different groups. You put one group in an environment where being small and dark is an advantage and you put the other in an environment where being big and bright is an advantage. Then you wait 3000 years and I go get one of the lions and tell you "wow this animal is small". If I asked you to guess if the animal was bright or dark...you would probably have a good idea even if the genes that were responsible for size had absolutely nothing to do with the genes that were responsible for brightness.
      Basically one difference in the environment can lead to multiple genes being affected. So one trait might be indicative of other differences even if it itself doesn't impact those traits.

      No...genes don't just influence one thing. At least not one thing in the way you mean." Mendel also observed that pea plants with colorless seed coats always had white flowers and no pigmentation on their axils. In other words, in Mendel's pea plants, seed coat color was always associated with specific flower and axil colors. Today, we know that Mendel's observations were the result of pleiotropy, or the phenomenon in which a single gene contributes to multiple phenotypic traits."

    The concept of race really enrages me, I come from a country where assuming a racial identity is not a thing, mostly because of colorism and aftereffects of colonialism, but racism is not a thing here like in the US I've never had to think about assuming a racial identity until I involved myself in their culture through the internet, never thought myself as Black, my skin is brown, black, dark whatever you wanna call for description purposes, but not to label me and out me into a neat little chart that describes people that supposedly fit with me inside that lable but that we honestly have little to nothing in common. It enrages me more when said people try to make me into a racist ignorant individual who's ashamed of their African descent! I'm honestly frustrated with this whole situation in 2020 it seems as if we all collectively decided to start a war against each other and engage in toxic behaviors that I fear might inspire a new wave of race wars. And in my opinion is totally unnecessary, you can be proud of your heritage and try to make so that people stop thinking negatively of it without partaking in the racial system, a thing that was created to harm your ancestry nonetheless and that you so stubbornly seek to perpetuate. 🤦🏽‍♀️

US is a “pick a side” type of place which is probably why people pressure you into choosing a racial identity. Unfortunately, many US Americans have little education or knowledge of the history and politics of other countries. Because of that many of us assume that all countries who have endured the atlantic slave trade or have been colonized have the same experience and cultural shaping, although this is wrong. I think you should not allow yourself to be enraged but instead try to educate people about the cultural differences amongst the African diaspora and let those who don’t listen remain ignorant 🙂

One such was Von Linnaeus who developed the Taxonomy of Flora and Fauna, which you referred to in your presentation. His attempt to formalize a similar categorization for humans was farcical and a pure work of fantasy yet found favour and influence in Western scientific circles. In terms of philosophy you correctly cited Kant but Voltaire the so called champion of freedom was far worse. He was a devout racist almost without peer yet his famous work 'Candide' is considered to be the standard bearer for liberty and individual rights to this day.

    This is a helpful introduction to a discussion about the evolution of race in America and Europe. Understanding change over time and causation are so important to the historical process! Especially because history is not simply a march toward progress, bad ideas (such as racial inequality) can be introduced to society resulting in unnecessary human suffering if we aren’t careful.
    That said, as far as looking at this as an educational tool from a historical perspective, I think it's important to clarify the terms capitalism and Enlightenment because I think they are misused in this context. For example, the forced labor system of the Spanish (whether it be the encomienda or later repartimiento), the Portuguese system in Brazil, or the British and then US system of slavery in North America, are not representative of a “capitalist" economic system. Those were involuntary, forced labor systems and Involuntary, forced exchanges are directly at odds with the 18th century idea of capitalism (at least as introduced by Adam Smith, which is entirely based on the idea of voluntary exchanges). Slavery and capitalism (in its purest sense and as defined in the 18th century), are actually opposing ideas. Pro-capitalist arguments were behind some of the economic reasons for anti-slavery movements of the time. Exploitation through forced labor systems for the sole purpose of profit has been horrifyingly evident in far too many places in world history - yet that does not make all of the economies of the places that practiced it "capitalist." (I clarify that for students studying the introduction of capitalism as a theory and because the explanation of causation in this video is problematic). Also, the Enlightenment as movement is very broad so this is tough to address in a short time, but it is important to note that this movement is widely recognized as one that embraced new ideas about human value and potential that were directly responsible for many of the arguments that challenged arbitrary hierarchy (which contributed to large scale movements against slavery and the first organized feminist movement). While it is true that many of those who embraced it's ideals were hypocritical and mindblowingly shortsighted in their views about human equality (see Rousseau vs. Mary Wollstonecraft for example, or the Jefferson example she presents is a great one) but to argue that the movement as a whole was responsible for this organization/classification movement (the basis of Social Darwinism), I think is a mistake in historical causation. Bottom line, this is a great start to discovery. But I recommend students look into each of these things with greater depth than this.

      @@tsutt8390 hey! The anglo saxons are the people that speaks English as their native language, that is primarily people from the UK, Ireland and their descendants.
      Me, for example, as I am from Spain, i am Hispanic because that is my native language. Wrongly people consider hispanic to be a race or an ethnicity but that doesn't make sense to me because a lot of different people of different races can be hispanic. That could be considered the same with the anglo saxons, but yeah that is how wrong is the race system in the US

    It is very interesting and completely left out in U.S Hiistory in school the connection between empiricism enslaving Native Americans before African people. I had no idea that the French and Portuguese were among the first. I highly recommend "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen.

      Well, I connect everything to the Bible , some may say it's not real, well guess what? Can anybody tell me how we were made, and how we have all the cute little animals, beautiful trees, or the flowers that grow and make everything look so colorful? We sometimes have to go into our history to get ready for our future. If you don't know the spiritual war you are fighting, then how can you fight it. We were all lied to.

      No, they knew better. Some of the best scholarship on African people are in European countries. There is some good scholarship in American Universities also, but until recently it was in what they call “Special Collections” and you need special permission to enter the room. While I was working on my Masters AND Dissertation at a HBCU in the South I took a low paying job at a tier 1 Southern University just to have access to their “Special Collections”. They had everything: biographies, autobiographies, poems, drafts of original plays, lots of things written under the umbrella of the WPA, 78 records, original jazz records, original gospel records, artwork, etc. They had everything. Which is why I always say wypipo are not as clueless about our history as they pretend.

      if in mediaeval ages then no, they knew about china, turkey, india, iran(that was persia), spain had a lot of arabs in south part and etc
      and many historians of that time traveled to india or china to learn about culture so apparently they wrote books about X country history
