The average person in America calls associates, coworkers, and acquaintances friends. And the average American is over the age of 25 and have social skills that enable them to have well over 80 "friends", it's just the younger generation that have poor social skills and need digital social networks to meet "friends". Going to a bar, nightclub, or coffee shop is funny, watching Millennials interact is comedy gold😎
+andrewjacksonbr "Acquaintances" are NOT friends. A friend is someone who knows who you are as a person outside of a restrained, professional environment. A coworker is not a friend unless you spend time with them outside of work and get to know each other on an emotional, personal level. Otherwise they're just people you're friendly with....an ACQUAINTANCE. Classmates, coworkers, whatever, these terms are not synonymous with "friend".
andrewjacksonbr Indeed, that's how the average idiot defines "friend". Our point is they are wrong and therefore we dismiss any data that results from such an incorrect idea. And I would bet the average idiot millennial is in contact with many times the number of people as, say, the average idiot 40-60 year old. Someone you chat with on a daily basis on some dumb forum or stream chat is just as much an "acquaintance" as someone you share niceties with during an eight hour shift and leave at the office to not think of again until you get back the next morning.
I'm black (west African) and I had basically all Asian friends in middle school, all 50/50 white and black friends in elementary and a mixture of black/Latino and 1 white friend in highshool. Now I'm a young adult and my BF is white so I don't think that report says much. It's just basically saying hey, most of country is white af. I currently go to school in MN and there are literally 6 black people, 2 native Americans, and 4 Asians. It's a running gag when we describe people to say "idk he's white..." So yes if 90 percent or so of your community is white, most of your friends will be white.
All These dislikes. No one even watch the freaking video. They just read title and thumbs down. I'm personally one of those blacks who don't care who they hang around with, but I do code switch when I'm not hanging around people similar to my comfort zone. Race don't even matter, because when I meet a white person who has a urban slang like myself and understand where I'm coming from I'm like "my nigga :D"
+Lefebvre Julien Just helping a clearly lonely dude meet people, pitch in and help this dude. Hanging out with just your family, that's sad shit in 2016.
The Congo is definitely more than 95% Congolese. While Non-Hispanic Whites in America are around 65%. Plus, the main point is that is keeps their world view very small when having a less diverse community of people.
+Dustin The Ninja I guess you wasn't listening but one of the panelist just mentioned the same situation you brought up being from Turkey and having to break his "comfort" zone to make non-white friends when he moved to the US. You're just proving his point and proved about yourself that you wouldn't break your "comfort" zone to meet people look/are different from you.
How is it meant to criticize white people when there are white people at that table. TYT is a white channel. You just feel guilty and uncomfortable when race comes up, you don't even listen to what they're saying. It really proves how you don't want to own up to what your ancestors did
MOME914 I didn't say they succeeded haha. You can't be guilty of something you had no part in. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is unfit to be a person.
Blazed and Confused You might not feel guilty but alot of white people do. And people do have a part in it since they benefit from what happened. Without being specific, its like buying stolen property, or being guilty by association. They are not at fault the same way the people who did are but they have some culpability.
MeinLuciFuhrer TYT is, once again, over compensating for their own drawbacks. They should be the change they want to see. (On a constant basis). Notice the composition of this discussion panel. Dont trip.
Blackatchaproduction Why single out white people in the title? They go on to admit that all races tend to stick to their own, for the most part. Ana even says "The same is true for black people, but it's not as stark". Obviously not, since whites make up the majority in population. The title would have been more accurate to say "Study shows most _Americans_ self segregate".
Blackatchaproduction Haha TYT changed the title because it was so dishonest, but they weren't smart enough to change the description were it says "especially white people". In case you're too dumb to understand the study...the study does not show that white people segregate more. The fact that they changed the title is PROOF my racist friend.
WATSONMUTH your obviously a complete imbecile. You understand how big Asia is? From India to Japan Asian food is Amazing. So many different spices and flavours. I'm sure someone of your upbringing thinks a McDonald's burger or kfc is Quality food. But Asian food is up there with Italian and French cuisine . From the ridiculous amounts of Indian curry's and breads to Japanese sushi or Chinese noodles Asian food is some of the best on earth. but like I said someone like you probably prefer some chemically injected Mcslop
Jenkins immigrant parents, somehow i gravitated to asians since they have a large immigrant population, shared experience i guess. Though im talkin Inidians as well, there werent many chinese etc around me
Ok let's think about this - Imagine I have a school with 100 students, 90 of whom are white and 10 of whom are black. The black students will tend to gravitate towards other black students and the white students will gravitate towards other white students. But then there is a certain amount of intermingling that goes on. For the black students, outside of their group of friends they are much more likely to encounter white students. For the white students, outside of their group of friends, they are also more likely to encounter other white students. But no tyt, just drive the message home that white people are racist.
90 percent is a high percentage and it’s weird that there’s only two races. Typically it’s 60-65% white, and a good 25% Hispanic and black, with 5-10% being Asian or two races
Wow only 14.3% of Americans are Black ! That surprised me considering all the 'Why no Black people in Oscars' and this 'Why no black friends' bits. I honestly thought it would've been around 30-40%, you guys do whine a lot about inclusion and diversity for being just around 1/8th of a community.
I'm white and I strongly prefer the company of white people. Consciously or not, people overwhelmingly prefer to be around people like themselves. Commonality offers comfort and cohesion.
I understand your comment. We have to look at why people self-segregate. They also do it because the culture they identify with is appealing to them. While I did not lose most of my black friends in spirit, they did not transition with me when my cultural interests changed. As a black visual artist, my circle changed because I didn't do "Black" art. This caused my circle of friends to change and I found myself identifying with a broader vision of creativity. More Eurocenticized to be specific. This led to me being called an oreo and other derogatory names. People should go where they identify culturally and let diversity happen naturally if it is to happen at all. We need more honest comments like yours.
See for me I am black but my parents are wealthy so I grew up in am upper class majority white community. I prefer to be around higher income east coast white people. lol It's a very specific group of people 😂 🤣 but I thought the again metric was wild for black people. I have like 3 again friends right now and in high-school I had at least 9
Have you ever been to the Mid-West? A man might have to drive 100 miles to meet a potential non-white friend! My guess is that if this study was limited to areas that actually have diversity that the numbers wouldn't be anywhere near as bad. Growing up in LA you couldn't have only white friends even if you tried.
In NYC, there could literally be 3 schools in one neighborhood but all three are either mainly black, mainly Latino or mainly white. And they're located very close to each other. Yet NYC is known to be one of the most diverse cities but look at this shit. I'm Hispanic but I always thought i had more in common with white people but they don't approach. But that was my old mentality. Now I know who I gravitate too.
Self segregation is Human Nature back in the day when a Tribe moved into an Area another Tribe was living in they would literally fight until one was wiped out by the other.
I had the privilege of going to a very diverse, majority-minority high school. Race relations were beyond excellent. Still, like groups tended to gravitate to each other socially. There was good interaction and fluidity between groups, but at the end of they day the bunching was pretty obvious. It’s just human nature I suppose.
Why don't you tell us how many Muslims (you know, you're favorite group of people) how many Christian friends they have. How many atheist friends do they have? And their gay friends? Oh, and I'm not talking about Muslims in the US where they make up like .0000001% of the population. I mean in the Middle East. You know, where they are in the majority.....like whites are in the US.
I think the American tradition of categorising people into groups (i.e. African-American, Italian-American) causes this division, if everyone was just 'American' it would be more of a unity, this tradition builds walls instead of bridges.
usually im friends with people who i like being around but as it happens i should've been more concerned with their colour. what a bunch of bullshit. if you're friends with someone in order to diversify you're group of friends that seems way more fucked up to me
really? I'm white and most of I have a lot of Asian friends. I have one black friend but it's not because of racism... there are barely any black people near where I live! At my high school, out of the two thousand people at my school I only ever saw three different black people there. This study didn't take into account population. Such a bullshit study. People don't buy ice cream less in the winter because they decide ice cream is more gross, they buy ice cream less in the winter because ice cream is cold. Look at all the factors!!!! Ana needs to take a stats class.
***** Ana says she "she knows what she is talking about" when she studies shit but she had to have other people tell her the other factors that effected this study.
Why are there so many dislikes? This video wasn't meant to criticize anyone nor did it. It was completely unbiased and just looked at different viewpoints. Why does race make white people so uncomfortable now when white people created race? This is why we need to talk about stuff like this because a lot white people just don't care. They just dislike the video and move on. If you don't care, why be subscribed to such a progressive channel.
Moral of the video is, try to make friend with different ethnicities. Most people were raised to hang out with people who are similar to themselves but it doesn't have to be that way.
+suckmynobs it makes you uncomfortable and if you really want to see real change in this country, you have to get out of your "comfort" zone. You missed the an important part of what they're discussing b/c it set off your nerves a little. People like you is why race relations will never get better. If you don't want to learn and understand these issues, how can you really be for change. You can't ill-informed and expect to make changes.
WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT. BLACK PPL IN TH U.S R AMAZING BCUZ EVEN THO THEY'RE LESS THAN 20% OF THE POPULATION THEY HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE IN AMERICAN CULTURE WITH MUSIC, STYLE AND EVEN FOOD.
Who the hell has 100 friends? I must be a loser, lol. Anyway I'm white and all of my close friends are Asian or Hispanic, go figure. Granted most of my friends are from school. I was in all of the advanced classes and a science major. So I did self-segregate sort of, just with IQs not ethnicity. Something I wouldn't change, lol.
Hahah. I like the internewt today. These comments are cracking me up. As for 83 friends... I know possibly 20 persons names at any given time. I am going to count them as of today. One needs to statistically know.
This whole idea of "taking certain aspects of black culture" and promoting "black figures" is plain racism. Organizations like BET are racism, for example. No racial group can be promoted without racism being behind that. For you to separate and promote "their music" and "their culture" is to start with the assumption that because someone looks different from you, they are automatically distinct, or foreign.
I wouldn't say its self segregation...i say its more of an environment community thing. For instance, my neighborhood was 98% latino. Surprise surprise, mostly latino friends. Like the dude in the suit said, its all housing.
The United States of America is the most diverse civilization in human history, and it is because of such cultural and ideological diversity that America, at its zenith, landed a man on the moon, among many other feats of human ingenuity! Now things will get more challenging moving forward, especially when society is becoming highly polarized and disillusioned with a fiscally irresponsible government. The growing wealth disparity between the 99% and 1% shall only unite a diverse youth because there is strength in numbers, and in a democracy, the majority controls the government. The lessons learned are that as Americans, I believe we must first realize that we are all one race, the human race, and out of many, we are one!
a lot of this is just based on mutual interests. I have never once had a friend that had different interests from my own. Race is not important to me. Its just that most people i have met that are into nerdy shit like I am happen to white or asian. (I am asian myself) Eg. Video games, Warhammer 40k, comics, politics, etc I also casually like the NBA and NFL. People tend to make friends with people they share interests with. i am not a big fan of music, it makes no sense for me to be friends with someone super into music, etc.
All species have a genetic preference for their own kind, and this includes humans. Socialization and language also are huge factors in "self segregating." This doesn't mean that we can't and don't befriend and intermarry with people of other "races". It's just the way it is, and it's not racism in the hateful sense. We still should make a conscious effort to live and work together in harmony. We have certainly evolved enough and have the intelligence to do so. By the way, there is only one race - the human race.
I don't care on race or how you look but I prefer to be with people WHO THINK like me that's not to say I don't have friends who expand my horizons , but most of my friends are from the same race and a simaler economic state as me
so according to the research, the number for "friends of a certain race" match with the proportion of the of the different races to one another..... wow that's the most "amazing" thing I've ever heard. if you grow up in a predominantly white, black, hispanic, oriental, or middle eastern, etc area of course you're going to have the majority of you're friends be one or the other. this is by far the dumbest piece ive seen on this channel in a long time... i feel this piece, even tho they say get out there and meet new people of different races and cultures, actually promotes and highlights the real life of how life and cultures currently are..
Was Anna just not going to mention the big difference in the numbers before the guy in the middle said something ? Seemed like she was more than happy to gloss over that, also I have Zero gay friends, at least that I know of and I support their rights soooooo this whole thing is just to stupid for any of us to really care, be around ppl you enjoy being around
Study this video and you see that this channel see racism where there is none. Just because you have more friends of one race, doesn't mean you think that race is superior. One would think you are old enough to know this.
i was born and rasied in Japan and im black. most of my friends are japanese because i never really met any black people. i have very few blackk friends but they are way too different for me.
Here's some seemingly overlooked facts that might be of use here: 72% of your population are white Americans (64% 'non-hispanic' white). 13% are black Americans. 5% are Asian Americans. 0.9% are Natives. and other racial minorities make up the remaining 9%. I suggest taking more time to re-evaluate the possible cause - like the fact that if I want to make an equal number of 'non-white' friends then I'm going to have to do a LOT of travelling. But I live in Canada and that's not going to happen any time soon unless TYT plans on funding the trip.
I think you are being overly optimistic about humanity. Xenophobia is a naturally occurring thing. It is adaptive to fear the 'other'. I am not supporting Xenophobia as I recognise it has no place in 2016, but I think it will be harder to get rid of than you give it credit for.
Not disagreeing with the premise of the video, but the numbers and how they got to them don't add up and seem somewhat suspect. I'd imagine a black person growing up in a white country and/or white area could very well wind up having mostly white friends too.
OMG I heard that people with house self segregate from people without them. That people who are doctors self segregate to conferences with other medical professionals only!! I am shocked by these findings!!
The average person has 99 friends? Bullshit.
99 facebook friends xd
+Yamikaiba123 Social media "friends" maybe.
The average person in America calls associates, coworkers, and acquaintances friends. And the average American is over the age of 25 and have social skills that enable them to have well over 80 "friends", it's just the younger generation that have poor social skills and need digital social networks to meet "friends". Going to a bar, nightclub, or coffee shop is funny, watching Millennials interact is comedy gold😎
+andrewjacksonbr "Acquaintances" are NOT friends. A friend is someone who knows who you are as a person outside of a restrained, professional environment. A coworker is not a friend unless you spend time with them outside of work and get to know each other on an emotional, personal level. Otherwise they're just people you're friendly with....an ACQUAINTANCE. Classmates, coworkers, whatever, these terms are not synonymous with "friend".
andrewjacksonbr Indeed, that's how the average idiot defines "friend". Our point is they are wrong and therefore we dismiss any data that results from such an incorrect idea.

If you have 91 friends you're a bartender or a drug dealer.
Or in a band.
I kinda think they used facebook for their data. so it's kinda bullshit
+EvilDrCatfish great point

+Joe Schmo :DDDDDD
A more significant stat from that study is that 8% of Americans say they have no friends :(
There isn't enough starving children to make friends with here in America.
I don't give a shit. I'm definitely am not trying to be someone's token black friend.
I'm black (west African) and I had basically all Asian friends in middle school, all 50/50 white and black friends in elementary and a mixture of black/Latino and 1 white friend in highshool. Now I'm a young adult and my BF is white so I don't think that report says much. It's just basically saying hey, most of country is white af. I currently go to school in MN and there are literally 6 black people, 2 native Americans, and 4 Asians. It's a running gag when we describe people to say "idk he's white..." So yes if 90 percent or so of your community is white, most of your friends will be white.

usually im friends with people who i like being around but as it happens i should've been more concerned with their colour. what a bunch of bullshit. if you're friends with someone in order to diversify you're group of friends that seems way more fucked up to me
wow, this shit is 3 years old, and you guys just bring it up like its a new story
This is where I unsubscribe
whos this new british guy ;)
I believe in only one race, the Human Race. PC and racist people make this hard.
I USED TO HAVE ALL TYPES OF FRIENDS WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL.
NOW THAT I'M AN ADULT I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS. LOL
I don't even have regular friends but thanks for rubbing it in my face some more.
really? I'm white and most of I have a lot of Asian friends. I have one black friend but it's not because of racism... there are barely any black people near where I live! At my high school, out of the two thousand people at my school I only ever saw three different black people there.
This study didn't take into account population. Such a bullshit study.
People don't buy ice cream less in the winter because they decide ice cream is more gross, they buy ice cream less in the winter because ice cream is cold.
Look at all the factors!!!! Ana needs to take a stats class.
+Nephilim Born HENCE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT SELF-SEGREGATION and the historical context of said study.
***** Ana says she "she knows what she is talking about" when she studies shit but she had to have other people tell her the other factors that effected this study.
***** sorry my opinion offends you.
+Nephilim Born i buy ice cream in the winter
axolotlmytimehas cometoburn cool dude
I keep a few black friends around to get around Harlem safely
Do you mean 'three quarters'?
TYT continues to slide. Sloppy presentation and complacent, ill-informed, superficial analysis - Ana a leading offender.
+A Man Agreed. Some videos verging on unwatchable atm.
+Anna W Exactly.
The average American has 99 friends?! I am well below average.
Here at TYT all we care about is race
Why are there so many dislikes? This video wasn't meant to criticize anyone nor did it. It was completely unbiased and just looked at different viewpoints. Why does race make white people so uncomfortable now when white people created race? This is why we need to talk about stuff like this because a lot white people just don't care. They just dislike the video and move on. If you don't care, why be subscribed to such a progressive channel.
Moral of the video is, try to make friend with different ethnicities. Most people were raised to hang out with people who are similar to themselves but it doesn't have to be that way.
this vid is gonna set the TYT record for dislikes/likes ratio
i love how alot of tyt videos are getting alot of down votes
+suckmynobs yer i was one of the people that downvoted it
+suckmynobs TYT just said that the reason is there are less black people. Come on dude
+Sam Rooney Trump
***** your right, the title is lame. But you can't be nuanced with titles.
+suckmynobs it makes you uncomfortable and if you really want to see real change in this country, you have to get out of your "comfort" zone. You missed the an important part of what they're discussing b/c it set off your nerves a little. People like you is why race relations will never get better. If you don't want to learn and understand these issues, how can you really be for change. You can't ill-informed and expect to make changes.
What type of accent does #ThreePieceSuit have?
Irish
+KyuubiValkyurie
Scottish.
he's Scottish
WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT. BLACK PPL IN TH U.S R AMAZING BCUZ EVEN THO THEY'RE LESS THAN 20% OF THE POPULATION THEY HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE IN AMERICAN CULTURE WITH MUSIC, STYLE AND EVEN FOOD.
lmao 2 likes 15 dislikes
I live in NYC and I have all sorts of friends, I feel that it all depends on where you live
Who the hell has 100 friends? I must be a loser, lol. Anyway I'm white and all of my close friends are Asian or Hispanic, go figure. Granted most of my friends are from school. I was in all of the advanced classes and a science major. So I did self-segregate sort of, just with IQs not ethnicity. Something I wouldn't change, lol.
Fun fact; the state with the most segregation in schools is New York City, and the LEAST segregated place is the South.
Hahah. I like the internewt today. These comments are cracking me up. As for 83 friends... I know possibly 20 persons names at any given time.
I am going to count them as of today. One needs to statistically know.
This whole idea of "taking certain aspects of black culture" and promoting "black figures" is plain racism. Organizations like BET are racism, for example. No racial group can be promoted without racism being behind that. For you to separate and promote "their music" and "their culture" is to start with the assumption that because someone looks different from you, they are automatically distinct, or foreign.
I wouldn't say its self segregation...i say its more of an environment community thing. For instance, my neighborhood was 98% latino. Surprise surprise, mostly latino friends. Like the dude in the suit said, its all housing.
The United States of America is the most diverse civilization in human history, and it is because of such cultural and ideological diversity that America, at its zenith, landed a man on the moon, among many other feats of human ingenuity! Now things will get more challenging moving forward, especially when society is becoming highly polarized and disillusioned with a fiscally irresponsible government. The growing wealth disparity between the 99% and 1% shall only unite a diverse youth because there is strength in numbers, and in a democracy, the majority controls the government. The lessons learned are that as Americans, I believe we must first realize that we are all one race, the human race, and out of many, we are one!
a lot of this is just based on mutual interests. I have never once had a friend that had different interests from my own. Race is not important to me. Its just that most people i have met that are into nerdy shit like I am happen to white or asian. (I am asian myself)
Eg. Video games, Warhammer 40k, comics, politics, etc
I also casually like the NBA and NFL.
People tend to make friends with people they share interests with. i am not a big fan of music, it makes no sense for me to be friends with someone super into music, etc.
All species have a genetic preference for their own kind, and this includes humans. Socialization and language also are huge factors in "self segregating." This doesn't mean that we can't and don't befriend and intermarry with people of other "races". It's just the way it is, and it's not racism in the hateful sense. We still should make a conscious effort to live and work together in harmony. We have certainly evolved enough and have the intelligence to do so. By the way, there is only one race - the human race.
how the fuck do people have on average over 90 friends? Is this including family or family members of friends?
I don't care on race or how you look but I prefer to be with people WHO THINK like me that's not to say I don't have friends who expand my horizons , but most of my friends are from the same race and a simaler economic state as me
All I learned from this video is that people aren't capable of understanding a simple video. Like wow, will you drop your tunnelvision for once?
so according to the research, the number for "friends of a certain race" match with the proportion of the of the different races to one another..... wow that's the most "amazing" thing I've ever heard. if you grow up in a predominantly white, black, hispanic, oriental, or middle eastern, etc area of course you're going to have the majority of you're friends be one or the other. this is by far the dumbest piece ive seen on this channel in a long time... i feel this piece, even tho they say get out there and meet new people of different races and cultures, actually promotes and highlights the real life of how life and cultures currently are..
Does nobody care that the story they are treating as breaking news right now was published in The Washington Post in August 2014?
Was Anna just not going to mention the big difference in the numbers before the guy in the middle said something ? Seemed like she was more than happy to gloss over that, also I have Zero gay friends, at least that I know of and I support their rights soooooo this whole thing is just to stupid for any of us to really care, be around ppl you enjoy being around
oh the irony of a progressive echo chamber bitching about ppl hanging out with ppl like themselves. Where are all of the right wing voices on TYT?
Why is this news?
Is it okay that I'm in love with Francis Maxwell and his accent?
It's already happening.
Study this video and you see that this channel see racism where there is none. Just because you have more friends of one race, doesn't mean you think that race is superior. One would think you are old enough to know this.
Why are people doing studies about race anyways? Who cares? If someone is nice to me I'll be their friend, regardless of color.
Did you even look at the populations of the US before you made this. For fucks sake.
i was born and rasied in Japan and im black. most of my friends are japanese because i never really met any black people. i have very few blackk friends but they are way too different for me.
91 "friends" hahahaha I'm only 30 seconds in and I have to stop and call bullshit.
Here's some seemingly overlooked facts that might be of use here:
72% of your population are white Americans (64% 'non-hispanic' white).
13% are black Americans.
5% are Asian Americans.
0.9% are Natives.
and other racial minorities make up the remaining 9%.
I suggest taking more time to re-evaluate the possible cause - like the fact that if I want to make an equal number of 'non-white' friends then I'm going to have to do a LOT of travelling. But I live in Canada and that's not going to happen any time soon unless TYT plans on funding the trip.
I currently don't have any black friend. Should I be looking for one?
I don't have any friends, I talk to myself aloud, I'll take what ever I can get
I blame the non whites for not reaching out and trying to be more open and friendly to white people
TYT talking about this explains this network in a nutshell.
It's called a free country. I can associate with whom I choose.
A big factor in self segregation is because of forced segregation.
A broad statement with no real way to verify the results must be a social science study
I think you are being overly optimistic about humanity. Xenophobia is a naturally occurring thing. It is adaptive to fear the 'other'. I am not supporting Xenophobia as I recognise it has no place in 2016, but I think it will be harder to get rid of than you give it credit for.
I'm white and i have no friends. Am i still racist?
You'd think this story was from the 1960s.
Not disagreeing with the premise of the video, but the numbers and how they got to them don't add up and seem somewhat suspect. I'd imagine a black person growing up in a white country and/or white area could very well wind up having mostly white friends too.
Francis had it spot in. Damn he is so much more articulate than Ana and Hasan!
TYT get more suspicious by the day
Depends on where you live
You know
Southern California vs Mississippi
Hasan was very insightful in this video.
I'm Asian and most of my friends are Asian or white.
OMG I heard that people with house self segregate from people without them. That people who are doctors self segregate to conferences with other medical professionals only!! I am shocked by these findings!!
ZephyrGames I'm mixed & thanks
