What Everyone Should Know About Skin Color and "Race"

  • I felt like giving facts about a topic that a lot of people are nervous to talk about. But when you're a sincere person with a human perspective rather than a "racial" perspective, then it shouldn't matter to anyone. Black people, White people, Asian people, Native American people... The root word there is people, and quite frankly the word before that shouldn't matter when it comes to understanding each other by what we all really are, and that's Homo sapiens. Human.

    Racism is honestly the stupidest judgmental part of our society. How people can be judged for simply being different is a sad and disappointing aspect our society still has to fix. This video must become popular. I'm telling my viewers to check out this video! Great job!

    I disagree with using the terms black and white to describe skin color. We are all different degrees of brown. Some people have very light brown and some have very dark brown. No one is pure black or white. Think about realistic portrait artists. They use ranges of brown to portray skin.

    • @2mcraej
      @2mcraej 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +WhiteSunlight Thats still very light brown skin. Even to paint albino skin I wouldn't just use white. Anyway most gingers have orange and red tones in their skin. Thinking in about skin color on artistic terms changes things. Artists have to look at the real colors present in a subject not just paint what we think should should be there.

    • @2mcraej
      @2mcraej 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Do you know any albino humans? I work with one. Her skin color is actually similar to mine, a woman with pale brown skin. Color has three properties. These are value, chroma, and hue. In artistic terms when we discuss skin color we are really referring to the value of skin since we all have the same basic hue. I don't seriously think people will stop using black and white to describe people. I'm just trying to point out that it is really more accurate to say light or dark.

    • @2mcraej
      @2mcraej 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +WhiteSunlight Humans don't have pure white or black skin. The color and value you see on an object is based on that object's color as well as how it is lighted and what it is surrounded by. I can photograph my skin so that it looks pure white even though it is not actually white. Do you realize that I'm referring to color like a painter? Really look at anyone's skin. It is not pure white or black. If an artists used only white or black paint they cannot create realistic portraits.

    • @2mcraej
      @2mcraej 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +WhiteSunlight Never saif people cant be pale Did you notice the red undertones? With albinism you can often see the blood vessels under skin. Making it not pure white. I would also like to see this individual in another lighting condition. Like I said, light influences color.
      Why don't you try this. Go to Lowe's and get white paint samples. Try to find a person that perfectly matches.

      Thank you! I never understood why White people were 'White' and Black people were 'Black'. Honestly, neither the over or undertone of *anyone* is White or Black. Everyone's overtone is a varying saturation or shade of brown and everyone has either a red, pink, yellow, and sometimes but not as commonly blue or orange undertone.

      I'm caucasian, but I also think people should stop using the words black and white. There are many different shades of pink and brown skin.
      To learn people we are one race, they should start to use adjusted school books and teach kids why the human race has different colours, hair and facial features.
      The should also learn kids that a good or bad character, intelligence and beauty have nothing to do with skin colour.

    Humans don't have subspecies. Race is a **folk taxonomy**.
    Also a "subspecies" means that they are the same exact animal only that one comes from another.
    Domesticated pigs are a "subspecies of wild pigs. (Sus scrofa domesticus)-Domesticated (Sus scrofa)-Wild
    They are genetically the same animal.
    Humans are all Homo sapiens. Anthropologists and biologists agree there is no subspecies, only diversity.

      "at no point did i state that a race is of a different species i brought up subspecies which is a category in species. ."
      -Clearly you didn't and I didn't say you did. My whole comment is a reflection on the concept of subspecies.
      "subspecies have the ability to mate with other subspecies in the species, while the subspecies usually retains a physical differences correlated to there environment may it be skin color or the shape of there beak."
      -That is not justification. You can also breed camels and llamas which are different species. You failed understand that skin color or the shape of certain body parts are not a result of different genetics but to how much they are expressed. We can give people chemicals to change their skin color and even body shape.
      "so why are sapiens free of having subspecies we fit the quota do we now lack in subspecies to be PC? if the there is something im missing keeping H. Sapiens from dividing into subspecies please provide a source sub·spe·cies"
      -Because it doesn't apply to us. The very definition you provided disapproves you.
      "a taxonomic category that ranks below species, usually a fairly permanent geographically isolated race."
      There is absolutely no population of humans on earth who are **permanently isolated** by means of geography.
      The logic behind this applies to not individual groups of people but an entire group of people who all share dominant traits being isolated.
      There has never been at any point in history been a group of humans completely isolated from others who have a large difference of genetic traits expressed.
      So for example, the Indian elephant and the African elephant are completely isolated from one another and are truly sub species.
      Humans on the other hand have never had perfect borders, places where humans have lived where large populations of us who have different genes expressed, you find a lot of mixing and people who expressed both sides.
      For example, Caucasians and East Asian have people who share a lot of genetic traits from both sides in Central Asia.
      Caucasians and Africans in North Africa, Asians and people we have a lot of similar traits to Africans (aboriginals to Oceana), meeting in Southeast Asia and Oceana.
      Native Americans had originally come from East Asian populations, and there was still mingling between them and East Asians and Polynesians. Polynesians are descendents of people originating from Taiwan.
      Later in history Caucasians and Native Americans would mingle producing a massive Hispanic/Latino population. And Africans would mingle into this population as long.
      I could go on. But, today it's even more apparent. There are no perfect groups of humans. there is a spectrum no matter where you go, and even though there can be too opposite ends of people who are seemingly different, there is a massive range of people in between them.
      Humans don't have subspecies, because we don't meet the very definition needed for it to be possible.

      @ajaykumarsingh702 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You are considering Humans in same species on the basis of reproductive ability.
      That we can reproduce with people of different geographical areas on earth.
      That's the Classification system made by Humans.
      Nature doesn't follow this rule. The Taxonomy is made just so studies of species and classification can be easier for us. NOTHING MORE.
      Nature works differently.
      Even the slight difference in same species made us distinct from each other.
      so YES, we Humans ARE different. Whether now you call it Race or not.
      Africans, Chinese, Arabs, Indians, Native Americans, Native Australians and Europeans do have distinct features other than just skin color.
      Distinct feature that really does exist like- Height, Skin, Bone density, Body structure formation, IQ, even the size of the Dick, etc.
      Note that this is due to Evolution over Hundred Thousand years at least.
      If We Humans didn't contacted each other and remained on our native geographical area then we would had evolved into different species accordingly.
      Which you so called Different RACE or SPECIES unable to reproduce with each other.
      If we are not that distinct with each other like that now, then we are in between that kind of evolution for sure.
      But Migration from our Native place has affected our natural Evolution and we may not likely evolve the way we could had.
      So it's not totally fault of our culture but our Biological response too towards foreign people.
      A grizzly Bear or Polar Bear may looks same, But they are very different from each other even though it's just their Fur.
      No doubt that they both in past evolved from common ancestor, but the time between that evolution doesn't make them in same species whether reproductive ability or not.
      Same goes for Humans. It's not that i disrespect foreigners or think them as less than Humans, but Scientifically speaking, that's the truth. Race do exist.

      "You are considering Humans in same species on the basis of reproductive ability.
      That we can reproduce with people of different geographical areas on earth."
      That's part of it. There is no true genetic groupings between humans because because our differences are on spectrum. We don't have different genes from each other, we all have the same genes with some slightly more expressive than others.
      The English language is extremely specific, and so is science. You can make assumptions because there are differences, but it doesn't mean those differences biological classification.
      "That's the Classification system made by Humans.
      Nature doesn't follow this rule. The Taxonomy is made just so studies of species and classification can be easier for us. NOTHING MORE."
      Taxonomies are made for identification purposes, that doesn't mean it's supported scientifically. Domesticated pigs and wild pigs are the exact same animal, only with certain genes being more expressive. Not different genes altogether. What we choose to classify them differently, but that final classification is based on interaction not genetic material. That's the issue.
      "Nature works differently.
      Even the slight difference in same species made us distinct from each other."
      so YES, we Humans ARE different. Whether now you call it Race or not.
      Africans, Chinese, Arabs, Indians, Native Americans, Native Australians and Europeans do have distinct features other than just skin color"
      Humans make rules based around nature, occasionally around our needs so long as it doesn't defy nature.
      We are all human, the scientific definition of races that correspond with nature would mean that the next race of organisms that is closest to humans, are Neanderthals.
      "Distinct feature that really does exist like- Height, Skin, Bone density, Body structure formation, IQ, even the size of the Dick, etc."
      There is a lot of overlap between the different groups of people you listed. That should not be the case if you are correct. These differences are due to different genes being expressed more, not due to completely different genes.
      If I have five different cups of Pepsi, and each one is filled with a different amount, I still have Pepsi in each cup, only some cups have more Pepsi. Genes work kind of in a similar way.
      "Note that this is due to Evolution over Hundred Thousand years at least.
      If We Humans didn't contacted each other and remained on our native geographical area then we would had evolved into different species accordingly."
      Yes, it's evolution due to adaptations based off of the environment. But there was never a point in history where we were all completely separated simply due to us becoming so widespread and mobile. Would've been difficult.
      "Which you so called Different RACE or SPECIES unable to reproduce with each other."
      If you had different genes, you can make an argument. The Issue is all humans have the same exact jeans down to a T, only some are more expressive than others.
      "If we are not that distinct with each other like that now, then we are in between that kind of evolution for sure.
      But Migration from our Native place has affected our natural Evolution and we may not likely evolve the way we could had."
      No we are not, because we weren't separated long enough for there to have been absolutely new genes popping up. And human populations were not isolated enough, even the Native Americans.
      "So it's not totally fault of our culture but our Biological response too towards foreign people."
      It is our culture, it's entirely our culture. The differences between each sect of humansIs due to different genes being more expressive, not due to completely different genetic material. Humans throughout history have demanded means of classifying each other based up appearances. But this was in order to be prejudiced towards each other.
      When the first people organized different "races" for humans, they literally thought we were different species.
      "A grizzly Bear or Polar Bear may looks same, But they are very different from each other even though it's just their Fur.
      No doubt that they both in past evolved from common ancestor, but the time between that evolution doesn't make them in same species whether reproductive ability or not."
      Except polar bears and grizzly bears have different genetic material unlike humans for the most part.
      I will point out that obviously there are slight mutations from time to time and humans, but there are mostly bread out or are not isolated to a specific sect of people.
      "Same goes for Humans. It's not that i disrespect foreigners or think them as less than Humans, but Scientifically speaking, that's the truth. Race do exist."
      In terms of the English language and the scientific definition of the differences between species, humans are of one race. Only humans have a diverse range of different genes being more expressive.
      Race is a folk taxonomy.

    Race is WAY more than skin color. It affects bones, blood, internal organs, anatomy, hormones, brain size, intelligence, sensory organs and more. Are the three major human races (and variations thereof) all human? Of course! They're all the same species. But depending on one's ancestry, from the microscope slide to a glance across the street, Blacks, whites and Asians are readily distinguishable from one another in myriad, heritable ways. "Race" is NOT a derogatory term, nor is it "racist" to study and recognize the huge distinctions among the various human races.

    Good points on skin color and race. But part of why he classified the different races is not just skin color, its skull and bone structure, specifically skull structure. Archaeologists and paleontologist know the races and what there skin would have looked like, by the shape, size and build of a skull. This is factual knowledge. Also, it is acknowledged by scientists that our genetic makeup is a lot different. This accounts for why certain races are more susceptible to blood disease problems, cancers, and different health issues. Also hair, facial hair, body hair... Research the facts about humans, you can learn these things. Its fascinating the story of humans and how we evolved to our surroundings, and how much of our growth and evolution was influenced by the Ice Age for example. Yes, we are all humans, but we are very different. In no way should we look down on anyone else because of our differences, but it should be realized in an academic and intelligent society, we shouldn't just ignore facts about ourselves because some find it a touchy subject in a "politically correct" society were we make the claim that we are exactly the same, and understand that there are many differences besides skin color. And we can embrace them. And last, the Jews cant really be defined as a race. Its a religious belief. Zionism and the push to create a State in the Jewish name didnt come about till the later 19th century. If one wants to be technical, today's community that we know as Jews date back to the Khazar kingdom located in western Asia region, east of Europe. This kingdom was unified under one religion to gain a strong nationalist population, and the religion chosen by the king was Judaism. Which he learned and studied from the middle east and east African region where it came from.This was centuries ago. And as time past the kingdom collapsed from many factors, Mongolian expansion, disease in the area, and any other reason that societies fall. These people migrated west into Europe and and carried the Jewish faith, and joined the mainstream ranks there. and the rest is history. If anyone cares to learn this, the ancient Israelite's were BLACK. These were the biblical peoples of the bible. Most cannot except this, because it is a taboo subject, and is always disputed by those who find it dangerous to their beliefs.

      240pixel While there are certainly physical traits inherited through genetics that are almost certainly due to geographical adaptation to environment ( etc sometimes skin color) over thousands of years, I doubt that there is ANY evidence of mental differences between races due to genes. Also, unlike dogs, there have been no proven links between what genetical race someone belongs to and what they are capable of within society. Usually this is attributed to cultural upbringing, and thus any race is capable of filling any role in society, unlike in dogs where you wouldn't use a toy poodle to guard your sheep. Thus it is very useful to treat race as a concept as it enables freedom for individuals of all races to diversely participate in different cultures.

I was thinking it would be really cool if you can have more text/images on the video while you state some important points/cool facts like VSauce does. For example, when you stated about different races, it would have amazing if you put text on the screen while you were classifying. I am not sure if you will even read this comment. But just in case.

    A lot of times if you see something about skin color and it looks like it will be an interesting scientific vlog, but then it turns out to be a horrible racist rant that you REALLY didn't want to stumble into. I saw it was this channel and knew that it would be the interesting scientific variety as opposed to the horrible racist kind. Thank you. I was wondering about the theories of how skin changes, too. I read somewhere that there was a theory that rickets contributed to paler skin while a group was emigrating north. The fact that the human race is so very adaptable is amazing. What if the fact that the Neanderthals died out wasn't really a different strain of people, but just adaptations that were helpful during the ice age just not holding up during the climate change? There is an ancient grave site that was discovered last year (I think) that had people with pieces and parts of modern and archaic humans. The scientists were having a hard time classifying them. It's an amazing world of discovery right now.

      I'm not confusing species and race whatsoever, because race with in its original context was implying that we were different species.
      Race is 100% a cultural construct built upon the regional organization of people based upon phenotypes. Point blank.
      Ancestry is a scientific understanding over completely non-subjective genetic data that is used to organize people based upon genotypes.
      You are correct, we are different races. Because race is a folk taxonomy. Its objective groupings based upon perspective. But here is where the race position falls apart.
      If you have an individual who has 50% of their ancestry coming from Ireland and 50% of their ancestry coming from Nigeria, their ancestry states they are exactly that. Point blank.
      If you take that individual and bring them to a nation like the United States, we culturally perceive phenotypes reflective of African ancestry to immediately have individuals with them associated with being simply "black" as would be expected with the person just mentioned. It doesn't matter if they are ancestral wise 50%, it doesn't matter if they're 25%, it doesn't matter if they are 0%. If they have the phenotypes, they can be considered black. Just look at the case with Rachel Dolezal, the woman is entirely of European ancestry but simply augmented her appearance to appear to have African phenotypes. She became the chairwoman of the NAACP...
      Take that same person mentioned prior, and bring them to a nation like the Dominican Republic, they culturally perceive phenotypes reflective of European ancestry to immediately have individuals associated with being simply "white," and that person mentioned would be seen as just that, there. It doesn't matter the percentage of ancestry, race is purely subjective.
      Do you get it? Everybody thinks this is some "PC nonsense." No, it just so happens that the science agreed with what they claim to some extent. But if it being affiliated with people who are PC is the reason why you reject it, that's a very biased perspective.
      All that said, I hope you reconsider your position. Race and ancestry are absolutely not the same thing.
      Take care.

    You are right. Another thing are the fitures, bigger lips and wide noses are more likely when you are younger and exposed to the Sun for long periods of time in the regular basis. Even the hair gets drier, thinner and softer when we grow older and are not exposed to the Sun.

    My skin color at the lightest I've ever seen (during quarantine and needing vitamin D supplements) is aroud the 3rd shade of IV. At darkest I have seen it (from when I was a child, more active and interested in outside activities) it could get to almost the last shade of V.
    Got to this video due to feeling a bit fed up with racial matters. I have never been included anywhere, only pushed aside for what i am not.
    I've eventually come to terms and accepted that I am too mixed to fit the given labels, but since COVID happened and my sun intake went enough low for me to need vitamin D pills due to barelly even going out, everyone has suddenly come to terms that I am enough pale to be considered white. It is just so annoying that when I want to fit in somewhere they no one will let me, but when I accept that, they try to fit me in labels I just don't feel I could fit in anymore.

My hair is naturally med-dark brown (thick and straight), which I think looks cool next to my paleness.

    As the original humans emigrated out of Africa, it is not hard to imagine they probably left in small Kinship (or family) groups. Like most families there would be similarities in features. Kinship inbreeding along the way would have made this more apparent so that generations later, a large group of people at a particular destination would end up with some features common to all of them. In fact if you look at genetic diversity, the greatest is still found in Africa, and all the other so-called "races" are characterised by a much smaller diversity amongst themselves. This also found in isolated religious or other communities who deliberately keep themselves apart. There is a Pacific Island with an abnormally high incidence of complete colour blindness. This resulted from the original band of settlers suffering a shipwreck where only two of the males survived, one of them totally colourblind.

    in India we have a very complex race system. we have been under a sway of migration, settlements & invasions which left us with very different skin tones. the south of the country had migration from Africa and Indian ocean islands & due to the proximity to equator we are very dark skinned called dravidians. the north of India, people are very fair and extreme north like Kashmir people even have light eyes and hair. they are said to be aryans. the mid portion of the country is a mix of dravidians and aryans. all variation of colour can be seen here. and the north east of the country which lies to the south of china has pale and yellow skin and mongoloid features.

    I'm not just white, I'm sunburn-quickly pale (with some freckles), thanks to my genes mainly coming from Northern Europe (Norway, England, and Scotland specifically. I'm part Romanian too, but it doesn't show much).
    I also have red hair, which comes recessive genes from all of my ancestries (even the Romanian side - or at least when there was a family reunion some years back, most of the people were redheaded).
    There are times I wish I had the ability to tan, like most of my friends, but that's the only time I dislike my general skin color. Well, I also apparently turn red in the face *very* easily, whenever I'm embarrassed, or even a little emotional. (I say apparently because I haven't seen this happen myself). So sometimes I wish my thoughts and feelings were a bit less, uh, transparent. :)

I have a base that pretty much allows me to look good in any red, unlike my mother, who is a paler skin tone then me with a blue over tone. I can also readily get away with gold, silver and bronze tones.

    'White skin, technically mixed ethnicity. Both parents sides ancestry can be tracked through many nationalities. personally I would say I look more Russian feminine in the face. (with masculine features ofc)
    Would have to say its not skin for me but multiple colors of hair and having hazel eyes they have an illusion of shifting colors between green, slate blue, and hazel (blue/green)
    The hair on my head is blonde/strawberry blond to auburn and brown (this I almost explained away as sun bleaching but when I shave my head my hair grew in blond and as it grows it slowly darkens having many colors in each strand) , Arm hairs are white, blonde, reddish and brown in splotches like spots near both my pinkies and on my knucles are dark the hair around it tapers off to white. My beard is multiple colors like my hair but unlike my hair it never really changes and keeps a darker red hue then, but has peppered blond black white brown hairs as well as hairs will show a verity of color.
    May I ask you insight on why this might be, only real info I have been able to locate is that hair color is governed by production of pheomelanin and eumelanin as well that hair color isn't determined by one gene.
    I've asked about it not out of worry but out of curiosity to a few doctors and have came up with different answers one being a possible mutation, to hairs not getting as much melanin and rotating use of melanin, No one in my family is simular in this asect, though my mom was auburn red head and has went strawberry blond over time dad has black hair and it's just starting to turn grey, my father has black hair so does my grand mother and grandfather. my lil sis has blonde, my bro has dark brown and i have this awkward mix. If you may have any ideas on why this may be I would love to hear it Think Fact
