Literally how could ANYONE choose Caitlyn, she literally LOOKS Native 💀 I know it’s not about phenotype but she looks the most non white out of all of them.....
I thought it was her the whole time because she was being so vague with her Mexican side. I assumed she was fully Native, given how she knew a lot more about being Native than she did being Mexican. I guess she just is more connected to her Native side.
@GayerDazai i just thought it was weird because she was saying that someone else didn’t have too much detail but she herself wasn’t descriptive at all😭
Ella: “and she didn’t give a lot of details” Ella literally a minute ago: “My parents met in LA.” Like bro, Caitlyn did not have enough time to talk, she was going to say more but the time ran out.

His comment about being the fairest one when he travelled to India would have made me question him. He's not that fair and many Indians could be considered White-passing depending on where you're from. I would have thought he was lying.
@queen of hearts...he's fair, especially by the South Indian average. Maybe less fair as when compared to the North, but still fair and also with more white passing features. He looks mixed race, and would absolutely stand out in the crowds of India - North, South, East or West. He could do really well in Bollywood/etc. as his features are above and beyond what is normally seen in these parts and, as such, admired and envied.
even the girl at the end said she puts white on her census... because she is white. all these people mixed with white, who have white skin... are white. white isn't an ethnicity, but somehow people group all white people together regardless - so that transcends being mixed. Like Italians, or many "white" races, they have mixed genetic elements... so this is just cringe all around

@@Astropoliy she definitely has less especially if the black is black american. Most people that think they’re fully black in the US are actually 60-80% because and if it’s just one grandparent then she’s probably under 10%
I'm amazed at how much they know about how their parents met. My parents never told me and look at me weird whenever I try to ask. I guess it doesn't help that I don't have the best relationship with them either.
“I have 4b hair and would only know that if i was mixed” like girl, anyone can know about hair types lol it’s not difficult to look up an image of that hair type chart
That’s what I was thinking. I mean, I’m mixed and I don’t know what type my curls are. My friend is pretty much white except for her great grandpa that was mixed (mostly white with like a quarter black), and she knows her curl pattern..
Mexican, latino, and hispanic aren't races. One's a nationality and the others are ethnicities. I understand that it's hard for a lot of us to know our racial ancestry due to colonization. Many of us are mixed with white and native, while others are afro-indigenous, white and black, other combinations or even monoracial. Latinos and hispanics come in all shades, hair types, hair colors, and not all of us speak Spanish or Portuguese(for example, only being able to speak English, or only an Indigenous language). LatinAm is a very diverse place with countless of different cultures.
@@akslafknss7109 hispanic refers to those descending from Spanish speaking countries. it isn't a race because there aren't any unique phenotypes to tie every hispanic together.
Thank you! As a Hispanic myself, if that one girl was going off the “US Census”, Hispanic isn’t a race on there either so it wasn’t really fair for it to be that way. Granted a lot of us are mixed with a lot of races anyways but the inconsistency lacked sense
@@User-km9ipwait until you discover having those features doesn’t not mean you automatically can’t be white, plenty of white people with darker features and hair/eyes, what matters here in facial features and skin color…. An Italian, Israeli and Egyptian girl might look identical cause they are all Mediterranean. Still all of them… Caucasian (either Arab or white)
wait.. lemme get something straight… so there was a fully lebanese person, a bunch of biracials and a girl who’s majority white, but the lebanese one is the mole rather than the white girl? 😭
That’s what I thought too. Middle Eastern people are often labeled as white but their experiences/depictions of them in the media are similar to those who are POC. It’s weird.
@@hellod4036 Because they are racially Caucasian. The reason they don't get the white privilege comes down to one reason: Religion. Just because their culture and religion isn't the same as Judeo-Christian Europe, they are seen as different. But they are racially white. Just like the people of Dagestan and Chechyna in Russia. They are completely white Slavic people but they are all majority Muslim, so they are treated different than other Catholic Christian Russians that make up the majority. Even tho they are literally the same ethnic group. People don't realize how much religion plays a role in this stuff
Next time y'all do an episode based on race make sure you establish an agreement amongst the participants what race, ethnicity and nationality means lol.....bc they were using these terms interchangeably.....
This. A lot of us Mexicans are diverse when it comes to race (there’s indigenous, white, afro, and mestizo mexicans, etc.) wish she were more specific on that instead of just saying the nationality :/
I don't know if it's just me but I don't think being 1/4 black makes you biracial or you being able to consider yourself black. If you were to see Ella on the street you would not consider her mixed race, racially she is white and I think a lot of people confuse race with ethnicity.
@@albertacorralez2871 But they’re using it (if indeed they are) to be proud of their Black ancestry, not to stigmatize and punish, as the “One Drop” law effected. Very different. I’m not saying that someone with a very distant Black relative should say they’re Black, btw.
Lol not ella saying she would only know hairtypes if she was biracial 💀🤭 also we dont usually describe our hair as an afro unless its in that style. An afro is a hair-do not a hairtype so im def suspicious of her
I thought either she is doing too much and she’s white or she is 1/4 black and she is really holding unto it. Couldn’t tell the difference. And when she said 4b hair it sounded like she searched about it before because it was forced.
See..the thing is...you could identify as white and still be biracial lol. Like that white girl who is 1/4 black is still..white. She passes as a white woman with curly hair. So the 'Mole' in this scenario can become very complicated...
@rambunctiousvegetable That's not how it works love. Her dad is the biracial one, they should have gotten him to come instead. How the heck is she biracial to you when she's only 1/4 black
I feel like MENA (Middle Eastern/North African) people should have their own separate racial category. While many of them do have “White/Caucasian” phenotypes, their culture and how they are generally perceived and/or treated in the Western world is quite different from that of traditional European “white” people. Kind of like how there is a separate classification for “Hispanic/Latino” people although many of them also have “White/Caucasian” phenotypes.
This is odd to me. Because genetics are more complicated than ancestry. By this I mean the "3/4 white, 1/4 black" girl is likely less black than she thinks, unless she took a DNA test. Genes can pull more from one parent or another. And then there's me, by DNA I am 70% black and 30% white, but I would never consider myself mixed as my majority is black...
But maybe she is more Black ( talking about genetic test and percentages) then she thinks. My dad is brown, so I taught that my genetics will be around 10-12% Black. Actually I'm 25% Black genetically, 65% white , 10 % native, but looks super white. One important point: I'm Brazilian, and here the biggest part of the population (included myself) is classified as " Pardo", that means you are mixed ( so multiracial) with white, black and native.
Most of the time, it is around the half the percentage ur parent has. She is most likely 25% black. She does not look white, I feel it is a bit rude to say to someone "you are not as black as you think," when you don't even know if she has gotten a DNA test or not.
I agree, I consider you to be Black. The 3/4 White girl is probably even more White than she realizes, especially if her Dad is half African American. Most biracial descendants of African slaves in the US are less than 50%, since their Black parent isn’t 100%
@@angelmushahf I'm Brazilian, and here people are way more mixed than the US, but a lot of times doesn't know. We discover a second african ancestor in my Dad side with genetics test, when we only knew about one . So he is around 55% Black, and then goes my results.
There's a pretty large Lebanese population in my country (Ghana) and I don't think I'd have ever really considered them to be white, but it's interesting to see who other countries consider as white. Also can we talk about how statuesque Hana is? So gorgee 😍
Lebanese is not a race and having fair skin is not what makes you White. There are plenty of White people with dark skin and even curly hair. I’m sure Lebanese people come in different types of skin tones too, the few that I’ve seen had really fair skin and dark straight hair (basically what would be considered white).
I want to know if the half Native American and half “Mexican” girl actually has two native parents. She never specified her dads race. While many Latinos are mixed deeper south of Mexico you find a lot of people who are 100% indigenous
Exactly. Mexican isn’t a race. Either she’s white mexican (from Spain) , black Mexican or native. She doesn’t look Afro Mexican. So she’s either white or native Mexican
@@Mooodyyhhh it’s a word that means half indigenous half white. Spaniards started calling indigenous people that to divide us and say they are less valid. Today Latinos use it despite the original meaning. They don’t use it in a derogatory way and in a way reclaimed it but people who are very connected to their indigenous culture still don’t like to use it
It’s sad how common this is. I’m half Korean as well and was always gatekept from my own culture and heritage and always told I would never be Korean.

As an Egyptian, I’m confused on how on earth can I be identified as white. Egyptians’ skin color runs along the whole scale from palest to darkest brown; the most common is olive skin but it depends on the state and how often you see the sun. I wouldn’t term us white. Edit: Some people have my comment misunderstood so just a clarification; Firstly, I’m not taking it as an offense but rather confused by it. Secondly, I’m not only referring to skin color but blood as well.
I feel that, I'm white but grandmother and some distant cousins of mine are Lebanese. They don't have the same skin tones as my immediate family, some are olive or very tanned. I never knew Lebanese people were considered white until my mother told me a few years ago.
I’m not really sure why it’s assumed that the opposite of biracial is fully white, the opposite of bi racial is someone of any race who is fully that race. So it would’ve been cool to see someone who ended up being 100% Asian, black, etc etc who maybe didn’t look like what someone would expect them to look like!
The mole was Lebanese, which is a person from Lebanon a country in the Middle East. So I think the mole fits the description of what you wanted to see and wasn’t someone that was “white”. She just said she was white because she was basing off the census
Honestly I feel like she’s just white? Even with her hair being curly she is wayyy closer to whiteness than any biracial person who is racially black. I will say I don’t know what her natural hair looks like but she does have European features
Mexican doesn't mean fully native please I beg Americans to undestand. I'm Mexican and I'm mostly asian (chinese) and native american with a pinch of white. She doesn't look fully native too!!!!
@@karlaalexa211 Well I agree with you that many (maybe most) Americans don't understand, she keeps equating Mexican and Navajo with races when they are more acquartely described as ethnicities/ nationalities. But many (maybe most) Americans think Mexican/Hispanic/Latinx/etc. as races (and I think she was from here, which is why she was doing the same thing). And of course she could be many different races (many off us victims of colonization are), but I never heard her mention any other race (white, etc)
The majority of Mexicans are biracial to add to your comment. Those that fall into that category are Caucasian and indigenous with different percentages from person to person. There are some that are exclusively white or indigenous, or of any other race. For all we know, Caitlin's Mexican parent could be a Mexican that is more white than indigenous, so no, NOT fully indigenous. Unlike the US where the majority of the people stayed within their race during the invasion, in Mexico the Spaniards mixed with the indigenous to a greater extend. I have cousins that are very tan, and cousins that are white passing.
American's take on race is weird. So Arab/middle eastern people are white when there are ppl of darker complexions. My skin is white but I'm South Asian lmao. White in the UK means having European descent simple and we have a section for mixed people/multiple ethinicities
Well over here if u look white/ur parents are white then ur race is white. But if u look black ur race is black. So if a black person from North Africa was to put down their race they would put black, not white just because they’re North African.
Arabs/Middle Easterners are technically white because they are actually Caucasian… it is what it is. It’s a spectrum.. you could argue that Arabs and Greeks look more similar to each other than Brits and greeks for example… Yet both Greece and Britain is in Europe, while Arabian countries are in Asia and Africa.. So yes, Arabs are “caucasian”.. and “white” should be referred to skin color only because it doesn’t classify race/ethnicity.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg caucasian is countries like Georgia, Albania, Montenegro, Armenia etc. That is the caucus region. Idk who told you the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa were included in that. The Languages aren’t even the same. Quick google search is all it takes :)
@@sanii8385 Caucasian as a racial term refers to the caucasian race which originated from the Caucasus region. North Africans and Middle Easterns are apart of that group. You have Caucasoids, Negroids and Mongoloids. It’s easy to tell who fits where. Clear distinctions between the 3 groups.
US American views on race, ethnicity and skin color are SO interesting to me! White is just considered a skin color in most countries, not a race, which is why that girl with the twists is STILL just a White girl with black ancestry to me. I myself am black and white by US terms cause my mom is white and my dad is black but my skin is white and got most of my feratures from my mom so im considered white everywhere but in the US. My dad might be black but that doesnt mean I am or that i'll ever experienced or know the struggles he might face due to being black. I also find so interesting and arbitrary how the US picks and chooses who gets to be white and who isnt, when someone like Gilles Marini and Kim Kardashian can be considered white, when they're clearly not, while people like Shakira and Rita Moreno are not considered white when their skin is quite fair. I've always wondered why US americans still adhere to the one drop rule that the opressors made up.
Sidenote - Im not saying you shouldnt be proud of your heritage. Im very proud of my african heritate and I dont deny it or keep it in obscurity. That said, that doesnt make me black or suddenly give me a pass at getting black hairstyles or saying the n word, that's not how it works.
Not to mention it gets even crazier when it comes to us Latinos, because Americans like to think Latino is a race when it isn’t, and most Latinos are mixed on some level already. White Latinos exist, black Latinos, even Asian Latinos. So I find it very funny when I’m like “half Puerto Rican” according to America and like they’d call that mixed but my Puerto Rican ancestors would technically be considered white lol.

@@krissywilliams1714 I mean idk where he is from but in germany as an example, race itself is no big topic? I, who didn’t grow up in a fully white family, never learned about how important race is to people until I got introduced to it on mainly „american“ social media and everyone had it written in their bio, I was extremely confused by that. we don‘t really have to tell the school what race we are or something like that.. it just isn‘t a huge thing as we all grow up together, no matter what race. but it also could be because the racism here isn‘t as bad as in america. Race is important to me but I think I know why some don‘t see it as „serious“ as others due to the reasons I explained above.
Biracial means your heritage is from 2 races so while Ella is 1/4 black and 3/4 white she still has heritage from TWO different races. She herself even says she’s white at the end so I don’t get why everyone is so mad at her calling herself biracial. She’s not saying she gets exposed to as much racism as darker skinned biracial people.
I think people are confused about the prompt. The prompt isn’t who is white and who isn’t. The prompt is who is biracial. There could have been an Asian person or a black person that was fully Asian/black and they could’ve been the mole. It wasn’t about figuring out the white person.
Most younger white people want to be at least part black so they feel like they relate to other people, that girl openly said she wasn’t around her black family much so she’s basically is just a white girl who has an excuse to call herself biracial
As an indian american, I always thought it was interesting how people in america display themselves. I consider myself brown becauze I physically am brown but my fair indian/pakistani friends also consider themselves brown. Same with how a lot of black people have brown skin but consider themselves black. It's just weird how race and ethnicity are considered here.
Our classification of Race is outdated and needs to be redefined, again! It can't be soley based on physical traits anymore because we're all mixing, which means people are starting to look "racially ambiguous". I kind of think we should get rid of the concept altogether and just focus on our ethnic backgrounds and nationalities as far as classifing our identities goes. Also my friend is Saudi, and considers himself a POC, not white, so i was confused by that from the mole.

As a biracial person from Canada (half black, half white), I find it interesting seeing so many are bothered by Ella being classified as biracial - I would personally say she is indeed biracial even if she doesn't appear to be. She certainly presents as white and would therefore have white privileges, but she mentioned she has siblings who resemble the more common black/white mix. So in that case, if her siblings are also 1 quarter black but have more black features would they then be "allowed" to refer to themselves as biracial while Ella cannot because she has more white features? Or are they all not biracial even though some of them have features that make them appear so? In my opinion, she should own and be proud of her black heritage while also being aware of the privileges she has due to her appearance - she is indeed mostly white but that doesn't mean she should ignore a quarter of her DNA - to me that seems like such an odd thing to do, especially being raised in a family with a dad and siblings who are visibly mixed race.
@@loveydovey3631 I don't disagree at all! She looks white but would have a full black grandparent or two biracial grandparents (mixed 50/50 black and white) for her dad to be 50/50. I can understand why she began to explore her black roots once she was able to see that side of the family more, and why she would identify as both white and biracial. On the other hand I can also see how someone who has a 75/25 biracial mix, but who is unaware of who and where their 25% minority ancestry came from, would maybe not claim it as part of their identity if they can't relate to it in any way. That's ok too!
If you're in america, or almost any part of the world, no ones 100% of that certain race. For example, AA people have an average of 20% white due to slavery. Does that them biracial when their not even considered white by society and not even the beauty standard? Why does everyone wanna claim their "poc side" when they barely even have any?? Being biracial is having two parents from a different races having a kid. For example, Asian and black. And in some cases, Asian, black and the other parent is white. Why did I use that one as an example? Those are 3 different races mixing and having a child. That makes you mixed. But how does that make you mix when your father is black + white and her mom is white?? She's litterally just white. When she has a kid with a white person, that kid will be, guess what? White.
@@britneye5022 I posed this question before: Ella said she has a sibling with a skin tone that resembles Rihanna’s. So is that sibling also only white? Seeing as they would also be 25% black. The world won’t see them as white because of their skin tone. So how can Ella be only white if her sibling who shares the same parents is not? Fact of the matter is that 25% isn’t a drop. It’s a societal thing to be obsessed with putting people in a single box, it’s 2022 and a single box doesn’t work anymore. People who are biracial are commonly viewed as only one of their races anyways - it’s rare that people view someone as equally both, even though that’s what they are. And that’s why I believe people may be quick to deny someone’s 25% heritage if it’s not obviously visible, because they do that to people who are 50/50 or people who resemble their minority heritage as well. At the end of the day, mixed people usually have to claim identity to their ancestry even if society doesn’t see it, regardless of their dna breakdown (50/50 or 75/25 or 33/33/33 and so on). There is a spectrum of mixed race identities, it’s not just 50/50 or else you’re only the majority race. There are sibling groups in my family that all look racially different from one another even though they have the same two parents. To me it’s weird to deny someone of their ancestry based off of appearance. I do consider 25% a fairly significant part of your dna. Is it the whole picture? No, but it’s certainly part of it. Why ignore it? Claim it exactly as it is - no more, no less. I think people need to ask why it bothers them that someone is claiming their own dna. Claiming your minority dna does not suggest the person experiences the same types of discrimination etc as someone who is full or majority that race. It simply acknowledges their ancestry. Would you consider someone who is 75% Asian and 25% black only Asian? I would not and I have a suspicion that the sensitivity in “allowing” someone to claim minority black ancestry is due to white privilege. There is also likely a difference in how someone would identify with their dna based on how that dna got there. Someone who is 20% white based off of slavery and who has no recent white ancestors will likely not identify with that dna (many African Americans). Someone else who has a white grandparent will probably identify with that 25% ancestry and want to connect to their cultural roots because there are close family members to expose them to it. You certainly can’t tell a full black grandparent that their grandchild hasn’t gotten part of their DNA, that relation is not distant - hence why a quarter of their dna comes from them. Although I disagree with you, I do appreciate your response! I will likely have children who are 75% white and 25% black in the future. My white birth father was not in the picture (and passed away when I was 1) so I grew up fully embracing black culture. My future children will grow up with half their family black and half their family white, and they’ll be exposed to all cultures within the two races equally. Me and my family will consider them biracial/mixed regardless of how they look!

As an indigenous Mexican, wtf does half native american half Mexican mean? 🤣 A Mexican can be of all shades and race. Gotta specify more. Edit: I just want to say this isn't to make fun of her identity. For example, I consider myself indigenous because my parents actually speak a native tongue. I also know that I have a decent amount of Spanish blood in me. I only questioned her "Mexican" because race is often tied to culture. It helps to know if she identifies to the broader Mexican culture for which she would be Mestiza.
Literally it frustrates me so much that they chose her as a “biracial”.. it’s like they’re trying to reinforce the one drop rule. That is a white woman..

I find the Definition of race in South America, especially Brazil, to be highly peculiar. They do things like simply look and determine based on hair texture.

I love how ppl are arguing in the comments about percentages and what qualifies as biracial. Being biracial, by grammar and application, literally means you have 2 different races, doesn't matter how big each part is.

As far as I’m concerned your race is whatever you’re perceived as in society. This shouldn’t be confused with ethnicity. Everyone would perceive and treat the 1/4 black girl as white, therefore, she’s white.
Race is what you CHOOSE to identify as. I am white passing, but I check both. I was raised culturally black by my father. It is not just skin deep dumby
Being perceived as one race and actually being fully that race can actually have some implications outside of how society perceive you. First having a poc parent definitely impacts the way you percieve the world and there can also be cultural aspects tied to that as well. Lets say I have a child with a white person, my kids would be a quarter asian but I would still want them to feel connected to our culture in terms of the language, foods, customs etc. Additionally, in the cases where you for example would need a bonemarrow transplant or similar that requires an almost perfect genetic match being biracial no matter how you look matters. I mean she did say she checks white on the census because of how she looks and she seemed to be aware of her apperance to the world but it doesnt take away from the fact that she actually is mixed
itz crazy cause in reality the mole was the only fully non white one. (mexican is a nationality, so chances being the girl who was native and mexican was probably mixed with white.)

I am half Chinese and White and some people think I am only white or only Asian. It's so confusing. I went to Chengdu for 2 weeks and attended a school there just for fun. My Chinese is like 5/10 so I could communicate decently. But I remember how different I looked from everyone. In China, I felt white and in California, I felt Asian. There was even a person when I was young who said my name Eddie is not white. 😅

@@aspebb I love Chinese culture, food, and the overall feeling of China. I just don't like learning the language. It's so hard. I did Chinese classes for almost 7 years. It taught me how to write, read and listen well. I just can't speak well. It got so hard that I had to quit. I sometimes talk to Chinese at home but I speak Chinese 5 percent of the time I think. I also love Chengdu. It's underrated. In 2019 I went on a trip around China and loved it. Xian, Kunming. The food and nature were so amazing.
The majority of people in the Americas are biracial. A lot of people don't even know that they are. I'm part Latino and part Asian but people never think that. My wife has some African descent, but her skin is lighter than mine.

Alot of Mexicans are Mestizos (mixture of Indigenous American and Spanish ancestry) andMexican isn’t a race so no offense but saying “half Native American and half Mexican” doesn’t make much sense.
I mean it can if you go by national definition and you’re saying half Mexican nationality and you’re Native American but from the USA not culturally linked to Mexico. Like I’m Mexican American and super mixed Indigenous, white, & black. When I say Im Native I refer to that mixed ancestry. But if someone had a parent that was Mexican and like a Canadian First Nations parent or a Native parent from elsewhere in the USA its fine. Like half Diné and half Mexican.
@Kia you gotta be joking lol atleast i was. i dont really feel like the whole race thing overall is very ethical regardless, that was what i was getting at.
i enjoyed seeing a fully lebanese person. its crazy if you take 10 Lebanese girls and you could never think they are all leb or arab. we can look so different.
I know!!! honestly the whole way she described her hair was odd, maybe this is because her dad is the one who's half black and so she doesn't have much experience talking about black hair. I mean, that would be assuming she doesn't have black friends or even lives in a black area...which wouldn't be that surprising to me to be honest
Bottom line race is a social construct..being one or the other doesn't make anyone cooler,more interesting, nicer,easier to love..the interesting part are the cultural and environmental differences. Ella's story is many and so many choose to so called pass because they're not accepted sometimes and it's easier to not explain anymore...if you raise your children to be proud of all of them and everything about them and teach them..they won't be so confused or unsure.
While I do agree to certain extent that it is a social construct. There are observable differences between races such as natives having higher cheek bones, whites having varying eye color and hair color, asian eyes, black people having bigger lips/noses. Makes me wonder if there were other races, what phenotypes would be distinctly theirs.
"S-s-social construct!" Nice try, Benjamin. Your pilpul would have substance if there weren't skeletal, muscular, neurological, and genetic differences between the races.
@@antonioramirez8086 It's not a "construct" at all. Differences can be traced not just across observable traits like pigmentation and facial structure, but also at the skeletal and genetic levels. The latter is how human migration has been tracked across history by anthropologists, with who knows how many papers being published upon thus very subject.
@@sadisticwinter8354 Yeah, edgelord name, I am. Those words you parroted are scientific terms used to explain the differences between the races. Try again or go quiet and sulk.
As a bi-racial individual, I totally get so much of what they're talking about when they say they never felt like they really fit anywhere. I'm Native American and Italian, and growing up my features were very ambiguous. As a child many people thought I was South Asian, and as I went through school I often got made fun of by white people for looking different, but also by people of color for being too white (not to mention being gay made it even worse). Most people in high school assumed I was Mexican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican. Now as an adult, many people have assumed I was Middle Eastern or Turkish. So, it's very weird navigating a system where it seems like everyone looks at you as some form of "other" rather than just as a person. My whiteness became more prominent as a became an adult, and my skin actually has lightened up over the years, but because of all my dark features I still occasionally get harassed by white people who pre-conceived notions about heritage. It's all very strange to me.
Same. I still to this day have to explain almost every day “where I am from”. Also I think because the people have zero to no knowledge about what native Americans look like here in the netherlands..
Yeah, I only read two of thoes sentences but I agree, for me I don’t think I look black or Arab( but Ig that’s white??) im half both but I think if you asked an both races/ethnicity they’d say I’m not. And I’ve only been apart of my black side of the family, but I’d like to also get included in that other filter and speak Arabic BUT my dad isn’t around. And tell me why this Arab girl say I’m trying to live a fantasy 💀this is cuz I said IM ARAB TOO, and few days later I said I’m having pork chops and rice, and she says I’m not Arab cus I’m not Muslim, and that’s when she said I’m tryna live a fantasy
@@dreamcost7227 I feel that a lot. Funny enough, some new friends I've made thought I was Puerto Rican or Mexican. They're a hetero couple, one black and one Mexican, and they seemed genuinely disappointed when I said I was Italian/Native and kept going on about what a weird mix that is. Literally this conversation happened 3 days ago. I feel like it's gonna be a lifetime thing 😅
I relate to this topic. My dad was half black and looked light-skinned black. My mom was white. I look white and my sibling looks darker but racially ambiguous. I know that I have white privilege but I also am not about to deny the black part of my heritage. I'm in my 60s now and have lived in the in-between zone all of my life. For those saying if we look white we aren't biracial that's just not accurate. We're literally the definition of biracial. That word isn't about appearance.
Race is actually about physical appearance while ethnicity has more to do with culture and ancestry. However, I still agree with you. I’m half Asian and half Black, but people sometimes didn’t believe me when I told them I was also Black. To this day, I still feel different and alienated from my Black side.
@@hellod4036 You're 100% accurate there actually about race and ethnicity according to linguistic definitions (which sometimes differ from common usage). But when I look up biracial I find : "concerning or containing members of two racial groups". So it gets confusing to me. If I am the product of a coupling of two people who have the physical appearance of 2 different races that seems to fit the definition of biracial. Nevertheless, common usage tends to support that, but less so when the child tends to have the appearance of one of the races. Obviously this discussion is more complicated and layered than a TH-cam Comments section! LOL Thanks for replying and relating to my sentiment!
I think you don't know the word and expression you are using. BI in the BIRACIAL: means : two time. It's from the latin : BIS : two time, repetition. Used in : BI-RACIAL, it means : 50% and 50%. You are not biracial, you're 3/4 of a white race. 1/4 of a black race. There is no more BI in you. There is too much of one, to create the balance that is needed in a : BI expression. I don't think you neither know what is a ''RACE''. A race is a social construction that gather two concepts : your physical features, and your culture. Both make you of a specific social race or not. If nor your physical features, nor your culture, nor your life experience in society can allow you to be identified as black. You are not black. No matter the percentage of blackness you manage to find in your blood. A race is not about blood. It's about all of what I said above. The person in this video: she doesn't look black, she has almost none feature charateristics of black people. She doesn't have a ''black'' culture. She doesnt' have a black life experience in society. People don't identify her as being black (nor the black people , nor the white people, nor the other races). So, I'm sorry, I don't know why you want so much to be identified as, being black is not something that can be cool. But she is not black. At all. There is no point in going in those: I have 15% black blood in me. That doesn't make a black person out of you.
@@mfk833 what? She said she was a white girl, but you don't took you heritage roots and block them 😂 By scientific standards she is Biracial, and that is it, doesn't matter the opinion of a nobody like you or me, she is Biracial and period.
based off phenotypes, that girl is white as snow. genetically she is more than likely predominantly european just based off of her saying she’s 3/4 white and 1/4 black. both of my parents are black americans, and due to the slave trade, i’m black, white, and native american, but i will never consider myself as mixed because that i am not. not even multiracial/multicultural because i do not indulge into native or european cultures. to be biracial is to have two parents with two different racial backgrounds. if i have a mom who’s white and dad who’s biracial, my parents still have similar racial backgrounds. anyways, that’s my TedTalk.
This is a big reason why I don’t judge people off of how they do their hair. Many in America believe you have to look a certain way to wear locks of any kind. But that isn’t true. Appearance doesn’t always connect to race/culture. And despite how many appearing as white will damage their hair by putting them into locks, the way she described her hair made it obvious she could very well be benefitting/not be damaging by wearing them. I know how big the issue is with myself and other black/mixed people being judged for our natural hair. But we need to understand that biracial people appearing as white exist, and we do not know those who wear locks personally. By judging someone simply by how they do their hair, we aren’t helping anyone. Let’s educate people of any race when they want to take part in our cultures/traditions. Let’s welcome them and teach people not to mock us (edit: as some do when they are uneducated and disrespectful; not me saying that it isn’t common sense not to mock people different than you. They often learn this behavior from generations before them), but to appreciate us. That will get us closer towards our goal of equality.
We shouldn’t have to teach anyone not mock us.. what are you on about? This wouldn’t be a problem if white people wouldn’t take part in our culture and completely dismiss that it isn’t cultural appropriation by saying “it’s just hair”.. also, if you choose to take part in our culture you should already be educated about it.
@@tibodeclercq2131 It isn’t, but it would be great if everyone knew why people see it as appropriation. Understanding other’s POV is a great way to start a conversation and educate one’s self. Plus ensuring that the locks are done properly and safely that won’t damage your hair. People get upset because for as long as black people have been allowed to work in America, our natural hair, braids, dreads, etc have all been causes for us to not be hired/be even kicked out of schools. People have criticized us no matter what we do with our hair, and have told us to damage/straighten our hair to fit into a white society. And people are upset that when white people use styles that we’ve been using and have been criticized for all our lives, they get let off. And on top of that, they can usually go back to fitting into the white culture whenever they’d like to. But black people, we can’t just do that as easily without spending a ton of money. And then, even then, we still won’t fit in. But at the end of the day, telling people what they can and can’t do with their hair just leaves us in a stubborn stand off. If we want progress, we have to educate, and move on with our day. We need to be like Hawaii or even Asia in the sense that they educate visitors on their traditions, teach them how to be respectful when participating, and how to still have a lot of fun whilst being respectful. They teach us their dances, music, allow us to wear their attire, and more. It’s a great way to avoid ignorance whilst having others participate in different cultures. (This was responding to how they “saw extremists as saying it’s cultural appropriation”)

The concept of race in the US is weird. I'm french, most people think I'm North African based on my phenotype but I'm from an island that's ethnically diverse. I'd never categorize myself as white, nor would most North African living here. Race is pretty arbitrary.
I’m Moroccan and I don’t consider myself as white. Some Moroccans do consider themselves as white though. I just think the concept of white especially in the US is so flawed and doesn’t make any sense. Someone from Yemen for example wouldn’t be perceived the same way and wouldn’t have the same experience as someone from the Netherlands in the US.

His comment about being the fairest one when he travelled to India would have made me question him. He's not that fair and many Indians could be considered White-passing depending on where you're from. I would have thought he was lying.
His comment about being “fairest” was pretty weird because there are some Indians who are fully Indian and still more white-passing than him.. lol
@queen of hearts...he's fair, especially by the South Indian average. Maybe less fair as when compared to the North, but still fair and also with more white passing features. He looks mixed race, and would absolutely stand out in the crowds of India - North, South, East or West. He could do really well in Bollywood/etc. as his features are above and beyond what is normally seen in these parts and, as such, admired and envied.
Poor guy
Y’all should do mixed people who aren’t just white
even the girl at the end said she puts white on her census... because she is white. all these people mixed with white, who have white skin... are white. white isn't an ethnicity, but somehow people group all white people together regardless - so that transcends being mixed. Like Italians, or many "white" races, they have mixed genetic elements... so this is just cringe all around
I think that’s probably because it’s easier to “clock” people who are white or mixed with white. But I agree! That would be really interesting.

Mexican, latino, and hispanic aren't races. One's a nationality and the others are ethnicities. I understand that it's hard for a lot of us to know our racial ancestry due to colonization. Many of us are mixed with white and native, while others are afro-indigenous, white and black, other combinations or even monoracial. Latinos and hispanics come in all shades, hair types, hair colors, and not all of us speak Spanish or Portuguese(for example, only being able to speak English, or only an Indigenous language).

I feel like MENA (Middle Eastern/North African) people should have their own separate racial category. While many of them do have “White/Caucasian” phenotypes, their culture and how they are generally perceived and/or treated in the Western world is quite different from that of traditional European “white” people. Kind of like how there is a separate classification for “Hispanic/Latino” people although many of them also have “White/Caucasian” phenotypes.

This is odd to me. Because genetics are more complicated than ancestry. By this I mean the "3/4 white, 1/4 black" girl is likely less black than she thinks, unless she took a DNA test. Genes can pull more from one parent or another. And then there's me, by DNA I am 70% black and 30% white, but I would never consider myself mixed as my majority is black...
But maybe she is more Black ( talking about genetic test and percentages) then she thinks. My dad is brown, so I taught that my genetics will be around 10-12% Black. Actually I'm 25% Black genetically, 65% white , 10 % native, but looks super white.
One important point: I'm Brazilian, and here the biggest part of the population (included myself) is classified as " Pardo", that means you are mixed ( so multiracial) with white, black and native.
Most of the time, it is around the half the percentage ur parent has. She is most likely 25% black. She does not look white, I feel it is a bit rude to say to someone "you are not as black as you think," when you don't even know if she has gotten a DNA test or not.
@@tamyresmartines8061 doubt it.
I agree, I consider you to be Black. The 3/4 White girl is probably even more White than she realizes, especially if her Dad is half African American. Most biracial descendants of African slaves in the US are less than 50%, since their Black parent isn’t 100%

As an Egyptian, I’m confused on how on earth can I be identified as white. Egyptians’ skin color runs along the whole scale from palest to darkest brown; the most common is olive skin but it depends on the state and how often you see the sun. I wouldn’t term us white.
Edit: Some people have my comment misunderstood so just a clarification;
Firstly, I’m not taking it as an offense but rather confused by it.
Secondly, I’m not only referring to skin color but blood as well.
I feel that, I'm white but grandmother and some distant cousins of mine are Lebanese. They don't have the same skin tones as my immediate family, some are olive or very tanned. I never knew Lebanese people were considered white until my mother told me a few years ago.
You are white. The Italian go through the same thing but they don’t complain.
@@leobutnotalion2017 but aren’t there Nubian Egyptians and other dark skin Egyptians? How would they be classified white?
@@Salma.08 I thought people said there were no black Egyptians so what is it? Are there or are there not black Egyptians?
white does not mean the color white. It refers to caucasian race which middle easterners and north africans are apart of.
I’m not really sure why it’s assumed that the opposite of biracial is fully white, the opposite of bi racial is someone of any race who is fully that race. So it would’ve been cool to see someone who ended up being 100% Asian, black, etc etc who maybe didn’t look like what someone would expect them to look like!
The mole was Lebanese, which is a person from Lebanon a country in the Middle East. So I think the mole fits the description of what you wanted to see and wasn’t someone that was “white”. She just said she was white because she was basing off the census
no same, and i only thought biracial meant half black and half white🤣🤣

Mexican doesn't mean fully native please I beg Americans to undestand. I'm Mexican and I'm mostly asian (chinese) and native american with a pinch of white. She doesn't look fully native too!!!!
@@karlaalexa211 Well I agree with you that many (maybe most) Americans don't understand, she keeps equating Mexican and Navajo with races when they are more acquartely described as ethnicities/ nationalities. But many (maybe most) Americans think Mexican/Hispanic/Latinx/etc. as races (and I think she was from here, which is why she was doing the same thing).
And of course she could be many different races (many off us victims of colonization are), but I never heard her mention any other race (white, etc)
The majority of Mexicans are biracial to add to your comment. Those that fall into that category are Caucasian and indigenous with different percentages from person to person. There are some that are exclusively white or indigenous, or of any other race. For all we know, Caitlin's Mexican parent could be a Mexican that is more white than indigenous, so no, NOT fully indigenous. Unlike the US where the majority of the people stayed within their race during the invasion, in Mexico the Spaniards mixed with the indigenous to a greater extend. I have cousins that are very tan, and cousins that are white passing.
American's take on race is weird. So Arab/middle eastern people are white when there are ppl of darker complexions. My skin is white but I'm South Asian lmao. White in the UK means having European descent simple and we have a section for mixed people/multiple ethinicities
Well over here if u look white/ur parents are white then ur race is white. But if u look black ur race is black. So if a black person from North Africa was to put down their race they would put black, not white just because they’re North African.
Arabs/Middle Easterners are technically white because they are actually Caucasian… it is what it is.
It’s a spectrum.. you could argue that Arabs and Greeks look more similar to each other than Brits and greeks for example…
Yet both Greece and Britain is in Europe, while Arabian countries are in Asia and Africa..
So yes, Arabs are “caucasian”.. and “white” should be referred to skin color only because it doesn’t classify race/ethnicity.

US American views on race, ethnicity and skin color are SO interesting to me! White is just considered a skin color in most countries, not a race, which is why that girl with the twists is STILL just a White girl with black ancestry to me. I myself am black and white by US terms cause my mom is white and my dad is black but my skin is white and got most of my feratures from my mom so im considered white everywhere but in the US. My dad might be black but that doesnt mean I am or that i'll ever experienced or know the struggles he might face due to being black. I also find so interesting and arbitrary how the US picks and chooses who gets to be white and who isnt, when someone like Gilles Marini and Kim Kardashian can be considered white, when they're clearly not, while people like Shakira and Rita Moreno are not considered white when their skin is quite fair.
I've always wondered why US americans still adhere to the one drop rule that the opressors made up.
Sidenote - Im not saying you shouldnt be proud of your heritage. Im very proud of my african heritate and I dont deny it or keep it in obscurity. That said, that doesnt make me black or suddenly give me a pass at getting black hairstyles or saying the n word, that's not how it works.

we don‘t really have to tell the school what race we are or something like that.. it just isn‘t a huge thing as we all grow up together, no matter what race. but it also could be because the racism here isn‘t as bad as in america.
Race is important to me but I think I know why some don‘t see it as „serious“ as others due to the reasons I explained above.
Biracial means your heritage is from 2 races so while Ella is 1/4 black and 3/4 white she still has heritage from TWO different races. She herself even says she’s white at the end so I don’t get why everyone is so mad at her calling herself biracial. She’s not saying she gets exposed to as much racism as darker skinned biracial people.
They're upset bc the white person they chose isn't white

I think people are confused about the prompt. The prompt isn’t who is white and who isn’t. The prompt is who is biracial. There could have been an Asian person or a black person that was fully Asian/black and they could’ve been the mole. It wasn’t about figuring out the white person.
No.
Thank u for pointing it out
I’m a quarter white my dad is mixed and my mom is black, but I always consider myself as black it was interesting seeing her refer herself as mixed

Our classification of Race is outdated and needs to be redefined, again! It can't be soley based on physical traits anymore because we're all mixing, which means people are starting to look "racially ambiguous". I kind of think we should get rid of the concept altogether and just focus on our ethnic backgrounds and nationalities as far as classifing our identities goes.
Also my friend is Saudi, and considers himself a POC, not white, so i was confused by that from the mole.
Not that simple to just get rid of race when not only a social thing but "biological"

As a biracial person from Canada (half black, half white), I find it interesting seeing so many are bothered by Ella being classified as biracial - I would personally say she is indeed biracial even if she doesn't appear to be. She certainly presents as white and would therefore have white privileges, but she mentioned she has siblings who resemble the more common black/white mix. So in that case, if her siblings are also 1 quarter black but have more black features would they then be "allowed" to refer to themselves as biracial while Ella cannot because she has more white features? Or are they all not biracial even though some of them have features that make them appear so? In my opinion, she should own and be proud of her black heritage while also being aware of the privileges she has due to her appearance - she is indeed mostly white but that doesn't mean she should ignore a quarter of her DNA - to me that seems like such an odd thing to do, especially being raised in a family with a dad and siblings who are visibly mixed race.
i mean she is biracial but also physically white.
@@loveydovey3631 I don't disagree at all! She looks white but would have a full black grandparent or two biracial grandparents (mixed 50/50 black and white) for her dad to be 50/50. I can understand why she began to explore her black roots once she was able to see that side of the family more, and why she would identify as both white and biracial.
On the other hand I can also see how someone who has a 75/25 biracial mix, but who is unaware of who and where their 25% minority ancestry came from, would maybe not claim it as part of their identity if they can't relate to it in any way. That's ok too!
@@loveydovey3631 bro she's white
If you're in america, or almost any part of the world, no ones 100% of that certain race. For example, AA people have an average of 20% white due to slavery. Does that them biracial when their not even considered white by society and not even the beauty standard? Why does everyone wanna claim their "poc side" when they barely even have any?? Being biracial is having two parents from a different races having a kid. For example, Asian and black. And in some cases, Asian, black and the other parent is white. Why did I use that one as an example? Those are 3 different races mixing and having a child. That makes you mixed. But how does that make you mix when your father is black + white and her mom is white?? She's litterally just white. When she has a kid with a white person, that kid will be, guess what? White.
@@britneye5022 I posed this question before: Ella said she has a sibling with a skin tone that resembles Rihanna’s. So is that sibling also only white? Seeing as they would also be 25% black. The world won’t see them as white because of their skin tone. So how can Ella be only white if her sibling who shares the same parents is not? Fact of the matter is that 25% isn’t a drop.
It’s a societal thing to be obsessed with putting people in a single box, it’s 2022 and a single box doesn’t work anymore. People who are biracial are commonly viewed as only one of their races anyways - it’s rare that people view someone as equally both, even though that’s what they are. And that’s why I believe people may be quick to deny someone’s 25% heritage if it’s not obviously visible, because they do that to people who are 50/50 or people who resemble their minority heritage as well. At the end of the day, mixed people usually have to claim identity to their ancestry even if society doesn’t see it, regardless of their dna breakdown (50/50 or 75/25 or 33/33/33 and so on). There is a spectrum of mixed race identities, it’s not just 50/50 or else you’re only the majority race.
There are sibling groups in my family that all look racially different from one another even though they have the same two parents. To me it’s weird to deny someone of their ancestry based off of appearance. I do consider 25% a fairly significant part of your dna. Is it the whole picture? No, but it’s certainly part of it. Why ignore it? Claim it exactly as it is - no more, no less.
I think people need to ask why it bothers them that someone is claiming their own dna. Claiming your minority dna does not suggest the person experiences the same types of discrimination etc as someone who is full or majority that race. It simply acknowledges their ancestry.
Would you consider someone who is 75% Asian and 25% black only Asian? I would not and I have a suspicion that the sensitivity in “allowing” someone to claim minority black ancestry is due to white privilege.
There is also likely a difference in how someone would identify with their dna based on how that dna got there. Someone who is 20% white based off of slavery and who has no recent white ancestors will likely not identify with that dna (many African Americans). Someone else who has a white grandparent will probably identify with that 25% ancestry and want to connect to their cultural roots because there are close family members to expose them to it. You certainly can’t tell a full black grandparent that their grandchild hasn’t gotten part of their DNA, that relation is not distant - hence why a quarter of their dna comes from them.
Although I disagree with you, I do appreciate your response! I will likely have children who are 75% white and 25% black in the future. My white birth father was not in the picture (and passed away when I was 1) so I grew up fully embracing black culture. My future children will grow up with half their family black and half their family white, and they’ll be exposed to all cultures within the two races equally. Me and my family will consider them biracial/mixed regardless of how they look!

thank you! i am one actually 😆
@@tallcabbagegirl ahhh that’s so cool! Do you have Instagram or anything I’d love to give you a follow!
@@lilysummers9514Yes I do! same @!
the way the US views race is sooo weird for me as a brazilian, like wtf do they mean by writing "mexican" as a race??? that's a nationality
Exactly. I'm French creole. I know it pisses you off when they label everyone hispanic especially Brazilians. You would think people from a country that was half Spanish and French would know the difference between Hispanic, Franco, LUSO, ITALIANO
1/4 Black? I mean...that's a bit specific. Presenting almost purely as white minus the hair = white. No one is mistaking you for being black.
As someone who is also half East Asian, I could immediately tell that Austin and Hana were biracial. But I can also see how people could mistake them for being just White.
And not to mention, I called that BOTH of them had an Asian mom and white dad. 9/10 that's usually how that mix goes. I'm willing to bet that's the same for you too.
As far as I’m concerned your race is whatever you’re perceived as in society. This shouldn’t be confused with ethnicity. Everyone would perceive and treat the 1/4 black girl as white, therefore, she’s white.
Race is what you CHOOSE to identify as. I am white passing, but I check both. I was raised culturally black by my father. It is not just skin deep dumby
Agreed
Ye socially
Being perceived as one race and actually being fully that race can actually have some implications outside of how society perceive you. First having a poc parent definitely impacts the way you percieve the world and there can also be cultural aspects tied to that as well. Lets say I have a child with a white person, my kids would be a quarter asian but I would still want them to feel connected to our culture in terms of the language, foods, customs etc. Additionally, in the cases where you for example would need a bonemarrow transplant or similar that requires an almost perfect genetic match being biracial no matter how you look matters. I mean she did say she checks white on the census because of how she looks and she seemed to be aware of her apperance to the world but it doesnt take away from the fact that she actually is mixed
Perception isn’t reality. You sound ridiculous.
I am actually half white half caucasian.
Nobody cares
Lol that’s what Ella is

I am half Chinese and White and some people think I am only white or only Asian. It's so confusing. I went to Chengdu for 2 weeks and attended a school there just for fun. My Chinese is like 5/10 so I could communicate decently. But I remember how different I looked from everyone. In China, I felt white and in California, I felt Asian. There was even a person when I was young who said my name Eddie is not white. 😅

Do you ask talk to your mom about Chinese culture? Or try to practice speaking with her?
@@aspebb I love Chinese culture, food, and the overall feeling of China. I just don't like learning the language. It's so hard. I did Chinese classes for almost 7 years. It taught me how to write, read and listen well. I just can't speak well. It got so hard that I had to quit. I sometimes talk to Chinese at home but I speak Chinese 5 percent of the time I think. I also love Chengdu. It's underrated. In 2019 I went on a trip around China and loved it. Xian, Kunming. The food and nature were so amazing.
The majority of people in the Americas are biracial. A lot of people don't even know that they are. I'm part Latino and part Asian but people never think that. My wife has some African descent, but her skin is lighter than mine.
Surprised yet happy to see a fellow Diné (Navajo) participant. Thank you for the representation!

@@genzofthe2148 Tf does that have to do with what was said? Lol
Alot of Mexicans are Mestizos (mixture of Indigenous American and Spanish ancestry) andMexican isn’t a race so no offense but saying “half Native American and half Mexican” doesn’t make much sense.
I mean it can if you go by national definition and you’re saying half Mexican nationality and you’re Native American but from the USA not culturally linked to Mexico. Like I’m Mexican American and super mixed Indigenous, white, & black. When I say Im Native I refer to that mixed ancestry. But if someone had a parent that was Mexican and like a Canadian First Nations parent or a Native parent from elsewhere in the USA its fine. Like half Diné and half Mexican.
ye
That chuckle when she said her brother looked black is what gave her away for me
For real I was like 👀 what's funny? Lmfao
ella was a hypocrite “she didn’t elaborate on the details” in the first round like you didn’t either
cool now do 6 whites vs one secret non white
@Kia you gotta be joking lol atleast i was. i dont really feel like the whole race thing overall is very ethical regardless, that was what i was getting at.
@@TheErikjsm yop, feels kinda off
i enjoyed seeing a fully lebanese person. its crazy if you take 10 Lebanese girls and you could never think they are all leb or arab. we can look so different.
You really don't.
I definitely can tell the difference between a middle eastern and a white person, just off the bat, eyeing it. That lebanese girl was not white
How tf did Ella survive this long?
Kinda weird that Ella said she has braids... those are twists.
I know!!! honestly the whole way she described her hair was odd, maybe this is because her dad is the one who's half black and so she doesn't have much experience talking about black hair. I mean, that would be assuming she doesn't have black friends or even lives in a black area...which wouldn't be that surprising to me to be honest
Bottom line race is a social construct..being one or the other doesn't make anyone cooler,more interesting, nicer,easier to love..the interesting part are the cultural and environmental differences. Ella's story is many and so many choose to so called pass because they're not accepted sometimes and it's easier to not explain anymore...if you raise your children to be proud of all of them and everything about them and teach them..they won't be so confused or unsure.
While I do agree to certain extent that it is a social construct. There are observable differences between races such as natives having higher cheek bones, whites having varying eye color and hair color, asian eyes, black people having bigger lips/noses. Makes me wonder if there were other races, what phenotypes would be distinctly theirs.
"S-s-social construct!"
Nice try, Benjamin. Your pilpul would have substance if there weren't skeletal, muscular, neurological, and genetic differences between the races.
@@antonioramirez8086 It's not a "construct" at all. Differences can be traced not just across observable traits like pigmentation and facial structure, but also at the skeletal and genetic levels.
The latter is how human migration has been tracked across history by anthropologists, with who knows how many papers being published upon thus very subject.
@@FerretCuddles Your describing phenotypes and genotypes. Not race😂
@@sadisticwinter8354 Yeah, edgelord name, I am. Those words you parroted are scientific terms used to explain the differences between the races.
Try again or go quiet and sulk.
The Korean girl doesn't need to say anything to prove that she mixed.
As a bi-racial individual, I totally get so much of what they're talking about when they say they never felt like they really fit anywhere. I'm Native American and Italian, and growing up my features were very ambiguous. As a child many people thought I was South Asian, and as I went through school I often got made fun of by white people for looking different, but also by people of color for being too white (not to mention being gay made it even worse). Most people in high school assumed I was Mexican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican. Now as an adult, many people have assumed I was Middle Eastern or Turkish. So, it's very weird navigating a system where it seems like everyone looks at you as some form of "other" rather than just as a person.
My whiteness became more prominent as a became an adult, and my skin actually has lightened up over the years, but because of all my dark features I still occasionally get harassed by white people who pre-conceived notions about heritage. It's all very strange to me.
Same. I still to this day have to explain almost every day “where I am from”. Also I think because the people have zero to no knowledge about what native Americans look like here in the netherlands..
Yeah, I only read two of thoes sentences but I agree, for me I don’t think I look black or Arab( but Ig that’s white??) im half both but I think if you asked an both races/ethnicity they’d say I’m not. And I’ve only been apart of my black side of the family, but I’d like to also get included in that other filter and speak Arabic BUT my dad isn’t around. And tell me why this Arab girl say I’m trying to live a fantasy 💀this is cuz I said IM ARAB TOO, and few days later I said I’m having pork chops and rice, and she says I’m not Arab cus I’m not Muslim, and that’s when she said I’m tryna live a fantasy
@@dreamcost7227 I feel that a lot. Funny enough, some new friends I've made thought I was Puerto Rican or Mexican. They're a hetero couple, one black and one Mexican, and they seemed genuinely disappointed when I said I was Italian/Native and kept going on about what a weird mix that is. Literally this conversation happened 3 days ago. I feel like it's gonna be a lifetime thing 😅
I relate to this topic. My dad was half black and looked light-skinned black. My mom was white. I look white and my sibling looks darker but racially ambiguous. I know that I have white privilege but I also am not about to deny the black part of my heritage. I'm in my 60s now and have lived in the in-between zone all of my life. For those saying if we look white we aren't biracial that's just not accurate. We're literally the definition of biracial. That word isn't about appearance.
Race is actually about physical appearance while ethnicity has more to do with culture and ancestry. However, I still agree with you. I’m half Asian and half Black, but people sometimes didn’t believe me when I told them I was also Black. To this day, I still feel different and alienated from my Black side.
@@hellod4036 You're 100% accurate there actually about race and ethnicity according to linguistic definitions (which sometimes differ from common usage). But when I look up biracial I find : "concerning or containing members of two racial groups". So it gets confusing to me. If I am the product of a coupling of two people who have the physical appearance of 2 different races that seems to fit the definition of biracial. Nevertheless, common usage tends to support that, but less so when the child tends to have the appearance of one of the races. Obviously this discussion is more complicated and layered than a TH-cam Comments section! LOL Thanks for replying and relating to my sentiment!
I think you don't know the word and expression you are using. BI in the BIRACIAL: means : two time. It's from the latin : BIS : two time, repetition. Used in : BI-RACIAL, it means : 50% and 50%. You are not biracial, you're 3/4 of a white race. 1/4 of a black race. There is no more BI in you. There is too much of one, to create the balance that is needed in a : BI expression. I don't think you neither know what is a ''RACE''. A race is a social construction that gather two concepts : your physical features, and your culture. Both make you of a specific social race or not. If nor your physical features, nor your culture, nor your life experience in society can allow you to be identified as black. You are not black. No matter the percentage of blackness you manage to find in your blood. A race is not about blood. It's about all of what I said above. The person in this video: she doesn't look black, she has almost none feature charateristics of black people. She doesn't have a ''black'' culture. She doesnt' have a black life experience in society. People don't identify her as being black (nor the black people , nor the white people, nor the other races). So, I'm sorry, I don't know why you want so much to be identified as, being black is not something that can be cool. But she is not black. At all. There is no point in going in those: I have 15% black blood in me. That doesn't make a black person out of you.
@@tatsf white privilege isn't even a thing
@@mfk833 what? She said she was a white girl, but you don't took you heritage roots and block them 😂 By scientific standards she is Biracial, and that is it, doesn't matter the opinion of a nobody like you or me, she is Biracial and period.
This was nice because they got to share their stories even in a very short time.
and an afro isn’t a hair type it’s a hairstyle 😭
EXACTLY!
theres afro textured hair but everyone got a problem with everything these days
ella holding onto that 25% real bad. girl take them braids out
based off phenotypes, that girl is white as snow. genetically she is more than likely predominantly european just based off of her saying she’s 3/4 white and 1/4 black. both of my parents are black americans, and due to the slave trade, i’m black, white, and native american, but i will never consider myself as mixed because that i am not. not even multiracial/multicultural because i do not indulge into native or european cultures. to be biracial is to have two parents with two different racial backgrounds. if i have a mom who’s white and dad who’s biracial, my parents still have similar racial backgrounds. anyways, that’s my TedTalk.
This is a big reason why I don’t judge people off of how they do their hair. Many in America believe you have to look a certain way to wear locks of any kind. But that isn’t true. Appearance doesn’t always connect to race/culture. And despite how many appearing as white will damage their hair by putting them into locks, the way she described her hair made it obvious she could very well be benefitting/not be damaging by wearing them.
I know how big the issue is with myself and other black/mixed people being judged for our natural hair. But we need to understand that biracial people appearing as white exist, and we do not know those who wear locks personally. By judging someone simply by how they do their hair, we aren’t helping anyone. Let’s educate people of any race when they want to take part in our cultures/traditions. Let’s welcome them and teach people not to mock us (edit: as some do when they are uneducated and disrespectful; not me saying that it isn’t common sense not to mock people different than you. They often learn this behavior from generations before them), but to appreciate us. That will get us closer towards our goal of equality.
Yet some extremists would consider it cultural appropriation when a person with no african blood has dreadlocks...
We shouldn’t have to teach anyone not mock us.. what are you on about? This wouldn’t be a problem if white people wouldn’t take part in our culture and completely dismiss that it isn’t cultural appropriation by saying “it’s just hair”.. also, if you choose to take part in our culture you should already be educated about it.
@@hazelleaner6998 Life should't be unnecessary difficult.
If anything a person does or uses must be met with a history class then we go the wrong way
@@tibodeclercq2131 It isn’t, but it would be great if everyone knew why people see it as appropriation. Understanding other’s POV is a great way to start a conversation and educate one’s self. Plus ensuring that the locks are done properly and safely that won’t damage your hair.
People get upset because for as long as black people have been allowed to work in America, our natural hair, braids, dreads, etc have all been causes for us to not be hired/be even kicked out of schools. People have criticized us no matter what we do with our hair, and have told us to damage/straighten our hair to fit into a white society. And people are upset that when white people use styles that we’ve been using and have been criticized for all our lives, they get let off. And on top of that, they can usually go back to fitting into the white culture whenever they’d like to. But black people, we can’t just do that as easily without spending a ton of money. And then, even then, we still won’t fit in.
But at the end of the day, telling people what they can and can’t do with their hair just leaves us in a stubborn stand off. If we want progress, we have to educate, and move on with our day. We need to be like Hawaii or even Asia in the sense that they educate visitors on their traditions, teach them how to be respectful when participating, and how to still have a lot of fun whilst being respectful. They teach us their dances, music, allow us to wear their attire, and more. It’s a great way to avoid ignorance whilst having others participate in different cultures.
(This was responding to how they “saw extremists as saying it’s cultural appropriation”)
@@tibodeclercq2131 seems like you’re trying to justify cultural appropriation.. I’m not engaging in this conversation. Have a nice day 👍

The concept of race in the US is weird. I'm french, most people think I'm North African based on my phenotype but I'm from an island that's ethnically diverse. I'd never categorize myself as white, nor would most North African living here. Race is pretty arbitrary.
I’m Moroccan and I don’t consider myself as white. Some Moroccans do consider themselves as white though. I just think the concept of white especially in the US is so flawed and doesn’t make any sense. Someone from Yemen for example wouldn’t be perceived the same way and wouldn’t have the same experience as someone from the Netherlands in the US.
