I grew up in the Philippines, there's a lot of black kids who were born and raised here. Just like the guys featured in this video, we face a lot of challenges growing up. You are led to believe that the N-word is okay, especially if it's called out by someone you know. You are led to believe that having dark skin is a disadvantage and that your physical difference from people around you is a bad thing. I wish I can share more of this, honestly. There's so much more.
@Pablo lol sorry what? in what multiverse did your "expert opinion" matter in deciding which race/culture I belong to? I wasn't asking for your permission but nice try.
OH MY GOD. I'm not British but I've lived in the UK for half my life, and the way the lady put it is honesly so terrifying. I feel this way because its not just me and my family that experieced this, as she clearly articulated our experice. Just wow. The worst part is how brits will make you actively feel crazy when you point out the microaggressions (eg, you're sociable, yet the only person from a minority group and coworkers will go out of their way to ostracise you? They tell you "well, you can't make people like you dear"). I'm abhorred.
TBH, I'm a dark skinned black women who grew up and still live in the white suburbs of Southern Ontario Canada (not Toronto). The only black family in the neighbourhood. One of maybe 3 at the most black people in my elementary and then high school. Didn't really know them at all. Hell, I didn't even work with another black person until after I'd graduated from University, lived in Japan for a year and then came back here. There was definitely more racism growing up in the 80's but since I hit the 90's I can maybe count on one hand the instances of racism I experienced. Two of those were from black men. I don't fear being pulled over by the police, aside from the amount of my ticket. (I've only been pulled over once and I was definitely speeding.) I don't get followed around stores and I am a person who is very aware of her surroundings. I'm not saying that racism doesn't happen here. It's just not really a part of my daily life. I'm usually helping out my first nations friends for what they go through more. I always looked at it as, First Nations in Canada get treated like Black people in the US. But that's just my personal story. Everyone has their own and should be respected for it.
The first Nations people are definitely the biggest victims of racism in Canada, I think up until the 1990s they were put in residential schools to make them more "civilized" a very fresh and pressing issue, first Nations reserved and communities are also usually isolated and impoverished and not generally well, other people still experience racism in Canada but it mainly is directed towards the first nations.
True. I’m Canadian and everyone I know has been taught that black people of colour were pretty much equal. Not exactly equal but we never judged them. Indigenous people on the other hand, we were taught what Americans were taught about blacks. The hood didn’t have black peoples, it had First Nations. I did have a lot of bias and prejudice against indigenous people of colour and it’s terrible. Recently I discovered that I am Métis. My mom was adopted so we didn’t really know much. I was taught my entire life that indigenous people’s were bad, and I was one. It hurt me, but I’m trying so, so hard to learn about BIPOC and my cultures.
As a black guy who lives in the UK for more than 15 years, the black girl was SPOT. ON. The racism over here is masterfully covert. But there is a lot of institutional racism. Ppl try to walk over you as a black person but as soon as you speak up, they say you're difficult or angry. They also get VERY offended if you call out racism. But the casual racism and microaggressions are very common here, albeit dressed in a polite tone of voice.
The crazy thing about this is that I never would have known that so much of the same emotion and feeling are present for black people in different places.
Agreed. With what’s happening in the US, the experience of black lives in other countries are often downplayed. I’m Canadian &though I don’t live in the US, I have experienced racism &discrimination for being black (particularly in northern Canada &smaller towns). I’m glad this video showed some diversity. Someone said, have more black people in non-English speaking countries tell their stories, now that- sounds interesting.
Right like we can't go anywhere, we aren't accepted by anyone is what it's seeming like😭 like how tf did it get so bad that majority of the world hates us
@@astralnautwarrior4717 I think basically what they mean is we do things differently to other countries. We take pride in 'doing things properly and carefully' even the negative things.
I say this as a brit lovingly... the UK is about as sophisticated as a log being dragged through the mud. the establishment is so adamant on making the upper middle class and beyond the face of the country when 80% of the country aren't like that... Don't even sound like them because other countries lap up the Harry Potter/ dickinson fantasy and the people of the country buy into it too. It let's the higher ups get away with doing whatever they want because they get given the benefit of the doubt e.g a supremely overtly racist prime minister being elected.
Astralnautwarrior the Brits look down on US racism but not for moral reasons but because they see it as uncouth. Here in the UK it’s done with a little finesse so the victim can’t really pin it down thus making it harder to fight.
Hi, I’m from the Caribbean the British Virgin Islands to be exact. It’s a bit different here as the population mainly consists of black people. I’ve never experience racism in my country.
Hi I'm black and also for the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago to be exact) it isn't as hard as what these ppl go through on a day -to- day basis like someone already said most of the population from where I'm from is mostly black people
Me and the girl in the United Kingdom have the same exact story I was also not invited to a birthday party because her parents didn’t like black people
as a black girl growing up in the Uk Ada’s analogy for the difference between the uk and us was spot on and articulated just the way I would have put it.
@@typicaldark8826 there is no such thing as reverse racism and south africa still has systematic racism towards black and poc most of the population is black and poor and white people still very much control south africa with racial profiling, you saying that white people are being discriminated against is not only hurting people who have been discriminated against for their race but also clearly shows that you are uneducated in what the real south africa actually is and how it treats black and poc especially in free state, western cape and northwest. Don't forget about orinia. A town that is only whites and no poc is allowed in or they are killed. Pls next time read up on what the after math of apartheid did to black and poc then come to me with that trash. And if u see black and poc people getting up in corporate or more black owned businesses dont forget prolly 80% of people of south africa are BLACK.your in AFRICA
To read a real life story about race in South Africa, I would absolutely suggest Trevor Noah’s book Born A Crime. It’s probably just a starting point to learn about South Africa, but it’s still super good.
As a black South African, they is soooo much to talk/learn about the issues that have and still go on. They is no simple source to find everything and hear every perspective but all I can advice you is to do your research because their so many beautiful voices,thoughts and expressions on peoples views . They is so much to grasp and understand and I wish you luck.
I’m glad Buzzfeed is speaking out about this, using their platform for good. They may be cringey but this video is commendable. Sad that we have to praise for bare minimum though.
Racism in South Africa is a HUGE ISSUE. Especially in Cape Town & Johannesburg. The white people here are like the USA, there are those that will throw it in your face and still have the audacity to make you the fool... Unfortunately we still have a long way to go. I guess the pandemic is kinda helping (I know it’s fucked up to say), because the old white men running corporates are kinda being phased out, but we still have one or two more generations to phase out before we can finally live in a place that racism doesn’t exist (if we ever get there).
Milk moo Man the caucasity of it all. I’ve accepted you all live in your own world of racism and not taking accountability. Peace needs to be on both ends, not one end only. You guys are forever wanting us to be at your begging end.
@@kamomotsoeneng I understand, so murdering farmers based on their skin colour is justified. So really you don't want equality, you just want your colour to win the race war. I am white British, I just want to live my life in peace. Should I also be murdered?
Whenever I log on to SA twitter and black people raise up an issue, especially regarding race... most white South African people tend to either say we're too "sensitive"," Apartheid ended long time ago and racism in SA doesn't exist", "black people are racist to white people too", etc. or just simply ignore it. The recent trend today is to use the murdering of farmers to sort of steer conversations that are meant to be had. Some people are currently using the loss of farmer life to push the narrative that black people in South Africa are irrational and insensitive and that is not right. To me, it feels as if white South Africans don't want to fight against or understand the problems that black South Africans face but as soon as they are affected, they expect everyone to jump... when they had, in fact, either been dormant or a problem for so long. Both issues should be brought up, discussed and delt with in a manner that doesn't distort the other. Farmers don't deserve to be murdered AND black people in South Africa need to be heard and listened to by their white counterparts, corperations and the government. Whenever a black person is bringing up their concerns, stop using the murdering of farmers as a shield and a defence mechanism but rather hear them out with the intent of understanding and have a proper conversation about it, then when they are done, bring up the issue of farmer murdering, have them hear you out and then have a proper conversation about it. I can't be expected to be out here, advocating for you to live in peace while a large majority of South Africans are not. A side note: roughly 70-75% of farming land in South Africa is owned by white people in a country has a stagering 92% of its population that identifies as non-white. I think saying farmers are murdered just because of their skin colour is over simplifying, avoiding conversations that are neccesary and those conversations would help with figuring out who is murdering farmers
Charlie Brookes read the comment above of me accepting responsibility on behalf of my people. And yes I will always want my COLOUR TO WIN. I don’t blame you siding with your kind, since the Brits are the OG colonisers.
Keith Runs thanks, though, I don’t think it is going to happen for me. Besides that, I feel like everyday is getting worse. Though, I hope that you, and everyone else has a wonderful day.
Such an insightful video, loved listening to everyone’s different perspective and reality. Everyone is so intelligent and well spoken as I expected. Thank you all for your vulnerability and beauty you bring to the world. I learned a lot from this!
The way I have experienced the birthday invitation thing and when I was in middle school I had hours of detention because I spoke up against racist harassement I was the victim of. It really feels like it’s global.
no such thing as "look american" every race is in america.............................................including japanese...........................................
@@Jprager we do have buzzfeed here in Brazil, and they post brazilian original content(instead of just translating from english), so yeah they could have interviewed someome from around here
For the guy who grew up in Japan, I thought his story was pretty interesting. I’ve seen a lot of videos of other black people in Japan who have said they earnestly feel that they have experienced no racism at all there. Many of them also say that it’s mostly the large metropolitan areas where there’s racism, but the rural small towns are pretty alright, apparently.
Aboriginal is an ethnicity not a race It’s like saying Latino is a race but I’m not being ignorant about it but Australia does have a lot of racism just like other countries that are mentioned in this video.
@@kennethopoku226 actually my comment never referred to an Aboriginal race; I said that Aboriginals have received the most racism in this country. Racism is defined as being toward race OR ethnicity. The question of race is somewhat moot anyway, as we are all technically just one race; the human race. Within that unified race, we all have a range of different and interesting ethnicities and backgrounds. I was merely trying to suggest it would be good to hear from the perspective of an Aboriginal (or Torres Strait Islander), considering the long and painful history they have endured and continue to in their own country
They are/were colonies of the UK. Japan had an American base. Looking at it from that perspective, it shows how much the "motherland" influences social, political, and ideological structures.
People who are saying that we are the same: We're not the same, and we can't pretend we are, but we should all be treated as equals and not be judged because of our exterior.
I dont like your comment .when you see someone as different this is where issues come.we are the same.we have different traits .physical but we are one people. Human. A lot of racists thrive of this term..we are different.
Catticus right, but we ARE the same in some ways yet different in other ways, it’s just that some people (especially by some people in power) are afraid hurt ignorant brainwashed, and thereby act like people aren’t people regardless of skin colour... by saying we’re not, it’s what they want... though I see what you mean
Theres a part of me that truly needed this. To be able to feel connected to people that look like me going through the same issues. This global reach of knowledge is needed.
I'm not black, but I have curled and frizzy hair naturly. Because of my different hair I was bullied in school about 14 years. Now as an adult I am not bullied still, but I feel that many people see that I am different and avoid me. I know it is not the same, but Mayby I know how it could feel what it's like on this part. I hope the best for you and the great people who loves you like you are. PS:I am from Germany.
@@lucin9443 . As a nation or a culture yes, definitely. It's enough only 5% of a nation or a culture to do bad things in other countries for making many natives to hate all of them either they are good or bad people even though 95% are good and 5% are bad. As a person Idk but I am sure a person can't be discriminated without doing anything, especially in Germany.
Why do we live in a world like this? Imagine what it feels like to be a muslim in every country of the world? What it feel likes to face the hatred of rich countries funded terrorism or of ideology of making a nation of a particular religion! I wish for my death everyday then to live in such a world, but even we can't get that! PS: WISH THE BEST LIFE FOR ALL!
Why are we having this kinf od racism in the world?For me we are all people and all of us should fight for their own rights but its not fair if we drag pther people down just because of their color..In order for us to have peaceful world we should respect each other no metter who they are and no matter what they are..Black people also have their own feelings you know.We have to treat them like a family
I cannot tell you enough how important it is to share videos like this. It opens up conversations about racism that has been held back for such a long time!Thank you and I hope there will be more to come
Cool thing is Japan is becoming more diverse. Every year they welcome more immigrants into their country so yup. Japan is gonna become a melting pot like America in the future. And i just hope people who move into Japan will respect the culture aswell.
It's not because they want to they are forced to allow immigrants due to the they population shrinking of old age If it wasn't for this issue Japan would remain isolated first world country like Switzerland
Except it shouldn't. America's society is not a standard. Their system is a total failure. Only skilled immigrants including people who actually speak proper japanese should be allowed to enter the territory or granted a visa citizenship. Ortherwise Japan is doomed.
@Amelia Jones for decades now people have been saying “it will get better” get it never actually gets better. It’s like we on a journey yet we never get to the destination
As an Indigenous Australian (Aboriginal) racism in Australia is very out there. Our indigenous flag has only been approved to fly on the Sydney harbor Bridge permanently. We have a lot of growing here. Australians don't acknowledge their own racist ways towards us indigenous people's
You know it’s 2020 everyone deserves respect regardless of their skin colour. Regardless of their background. When my moms brother first came to Canada he went to his school swimming pool. He wore a turban at the time and these guys came and throw the turban to the ground my uncle got mad just before going back home he cut his hair. My grandpa was upset but understood why. And just recently it happened to another Sikh brother he was walking minding his own business and these non Indian guys came and started kicking him throw his turban to the ground. The police got them. These kind of thing should not happen at all. Respect every body. This is why I believe in Equality. Treat everyone the same.
This video made me feel comfortable, with who I am now. Racism does not matter, it's all about being in hands with humans who are different from all around the world, around the globe, and on Earth.
Literally Whenever I plan on Traveling the first thing I look up is always “is **insert Country**_______Racist? then I constantly look up TH-cam videos of Other Black people’s experience in that country before deciding if I still want to go there or not.
Racism exists in all countries, all societies and even in all skin colours. I think it is better to judge the individual rather than issue blanket statements on entire countries (unless racism is enshrined in law, that would be quite different).
My ex isn't black but he is a POC (dark skinned South Asian) .. he said he has NEVER experienced any racism in Canada (Ontario - GTA) which I find incredibly hard to believe. But I guess everyone's experience is vastly different.
@@Biomeac nah I don't feel like I need to reword my comment. I meant it. Is racism okay? Obviously not.. but does it exist everywhere? Absolutely. Disacknowledging that fact doesn't do anyone any favours. I watch the news.. I can see that this happens in many places and the USA is largely covered even by Canadian media. Sometimes it's talked about MORE than Canadian media so I'm always interested in what goes on in my own country. I like talking to people about their experiences if they want to.. because as a white person I cannot relate. Even though my part of Canada is hugely multicultural.. I still hear about racism. So hearing that someone close to me has NOT had that experience is relieving and yes.. frankly quite hard to believe since I've had others tell me the exact opposite.
@@makim4199 My point was that if racism was accepted by everyone and it was considered "normal" although wrong, for example teenagers being rowdy due to adolescence is accepted as "normal" the general perception would change towards the attitudes of teenagers, likewise if we accept the fact that racism is everywhere is not okay.
People of color need to have the same respect and dignity as a white person. The color of your skin shouldn’t matter on how your treated as a human being. Everyone’s human and everyone deserves respect
I think that people can sometimes make assumptions about racism which are not true. I was talking to a female from an Indian background a few months ago. She was talking about how she was being discriminated in court by judges. She was a lawyer. However I found her to be quite obnoxious. I think she would have assumed I was being racist if I had been a judge and been curt with her because of her rudeness.
@Fishy boi we are the only one who are portrayed bad. Look, you can say black power or latino power or Asian power, but only when you say white power its racist
What the hell what the actual hell people what is different about skin colour like what is so wrong about me being black about my parents being black about my brothers being black last I checked we were all created in the EXACT same way who are you to tell me that I can’t do what white people do who are you to pull me over simply because my car is expensive when did y’all get so brave like haha a black person let me cause problems and be totally out of order let me abuse my power how were you raised because I was raised to be kind to people who wish for my failure and you know what I do this ain’t gonna stand huh one day one EVERYTHING will change just you wait and see
I can't say this for other Black people but I never experienced this but I still know it happens. I'm not sure about the frequency but it does happen to everyone and everywhere
Sad that the British girls story really exemplifies that racism is taught...the girl was apologising coz she knew at some level that its not OK...question is was she able to continue realising the wrong or did she fully take on the prejudices of her parents?
I live in Canada but an African immigrant so most of the time the racism is tied to being African level black. It's just basically too black for them to adapt so u end up weeded out. The rest is just the usual complaining about how u pronounce words which gets rude. I do have a friend who assumes I relate to their fear of the police but I have no relationship with the police so no opinion. I did have issues with airport security red flagging me. I reached a point of oh u not checking my bags today that's different lol
Typical Dark you’ve been commenting on a lot of comments about South Africa. Are you a white South African? I feel like you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about. South Africa has a history of and currently still has complex and tense race relations, and its comments like yours that perpetuate negative stereotypes and attitudes. There are race related incidents and murders against both black people and white people but to say that there are ‘black privileges’ in a country still battling the effects of apartheid is shortsighted.
Hi! So..I have to turn down what was said about Japan. I wasn't born there, but I went there at a young age (4 years). I shockingly live in America now, only because of a job my father gotten into. If it wasn't for that, I think we would've stayed. Anyway, Japan to me is wonderful. My parents never experienced racism and nor have I. Matter a fact, I've been called out for being famous or something. I've been called very beautiful or smart, sometimes royalty, in which I don't think very often of being called. It wasn't hard for me because my parents already took the time to get to know some people and suggested places. People at our neighborhood or village knew us for being beautiful and smart, it wasn't a big deal. If anyone messed with us, Miss Kim or as I called her flame of the night would gladly do a checking upon them. We respected the Japanese culture and so did they did with our's. It was like we were ment to be noticed together! I should say this in the smi-suburb and not the city though.. I've been to the city and it's a bit different than at home, it's like any city really though. I got stared at for the first time there, and I even had my hair touched without permission too. I wasn't used to that. It isn't a large problem, butJapanese should get better at respecting guidelines and personal space. With that being said, Japan is the best place I've been, nothing was ever wrong there. So yea, that's my experience. All experiences are different! So definitely check it out! :)
Woooow this is sad. I've never experienced racism. If I did I literally ignored it. Like maybe being watched in a store but even then not really. But the fact they had to go thru with these situations it's really saaaad.
We can never stop racism or sexism or anything else that has to do with someone being different. It’s just not how we are built mentally and if some how one day we gain this equality it will be short lived since the suppress will try and over throw.
Everyone deserves the same respect, love, and appreciation as the person next to them! Tarzan had it right, we all have the same nose, eyes, mouth, hands, etc. We are one. We are all human! Forget about color, that should be enough.🥰🥰💜
Racism occurs everywhere against every race because all races find it difficult to understand people who look differently to them. Some people have gotten used to this and are able to move past it and no longer consider it an issue or are young enough to not see differences as an issue. I didn’t see race as a problem until BLM. Seeing black people getting angry at me just because I’m white and therefore must be racist has made me think about race. That alone has made me less trusting and more aware when somebody looks different to me, thinking that they must hate me. Where I live it’s more about racist attacks on Eastern Europeans, not black people. Not to say that nobody is racist against blacks here, but it’s less of an issue. In primary school when we had a Chinese girl join our year, yes all the kids were curious and saying the only Asian words they knew (konnichiwa and that’s it) but there was no hate because she was Asian. She was one of my best friends, her looking different was interesting but never something to dislike her for)
Did you see a problem with police accounts not matching video when black people were killed by police? Or that it continually happens? Are you saying what you have experienced is as bad as getting killed?
@@thePipeBandEnthusiast Studies show discrimination against black people in all industrialized countries - things that white people don't experience. Doesn't have to be just violence.
recoil53 White people do experience these things though, like where I live, where it’s mostly Eastern Europeans who experience that kind of racist discrimination. Not saying it doesn’t happen to black people here sometimes, but it is less common
For me, this terminology doesn't work. It makes it seem like black means African or of African descent. It excludes Australian Aborigines, Torres Straight Islanders, Melanesians, Indians, Filipinos, and anyone else with dark skin pigmentation. It's like taking Afro-centricity too far. Just say, what it's like growing up African around the world. Black is a very westernized concept.
As a black canadian, i face racism and discrimination all the time. If im nice people will treat me badly. If im rude, they will try to police my behavior. They always do that.
the thing about UK racism being microagressions is really interesting. I'm white and have never experienced racism. and eventhough I always thought of racism as really bigoted and large displays of hatred, there's most definitely smaller stuff as well and I'll be looking out for it and holding people accountable for their actions. i feel like microagressions towards poc also happen towards a variety of others as well, like sexist microagressions and particularly microagressions towards people because of their religion

Right like we can't go anywhere, we aren't accepted by anyone is what it's seeming like😭 like how tf did it get so bad that majority of the world hates us
What I say about the UK is that they pride themselves on doing everything with sophistication even the racism
I’m here in the u.s thank you for sharing that , could you elaborate a little ?
@@astralnautwarrior4717 I think basically what they mean is we do things differently to other countries. We take pride in 'doing things properly and carefully' even the negative things.
I say this as a brit lovingly... the UK is about as sophisticated as a log being dragged through the mud. the establishment is so adamant on making the upper middle class and beyond the face of the country when 80% of the country aren't like that... Don't even sound like them because other countries lap up the Harry Potter/ dickinson fantasy and the people of the country buy into it too. It let's the higher ups get away with doing whatever they want because they get given the benefit of the doubt e.g a supremely overtly racist prime minister being elected.
@@astralnautwarrior4717 arrogance basically.
Astralnautwarrior the Brits look down on US racism but not for moral reasons but because they see it as uncouth. Here in the UK it’s done with a little finesse so the victim can’t really pin it down thus making it harder to fight.
It would have also been great to see the perspective of a Black Caribbean person

Very true
Truth
Hi, I’m from the Caribbean the British Virgin Islands to be exact. It’s a bit different here as the population mainly consists of black people. I’ve never experience racism in my country.
Hi I'm black and also for the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago to be exact) it isn't as hard as what these ppl go through on a day -to- day basis like someone already said most of the population from where I'm from is mostly black people
Me and the girl in the United Kingdom have the same exact story I was also not invited to a birthday party because her parents didn’t like black people
I do need to be invited anywhere...I am an island.
I love the way the girl from the UK put it 🤟🏼
I agree
Yeah frfr
as a black girl growing up in the Uk Ada’s analogy for the difference between the uk and us was spot on and articulated just the way I would have put it.
I clicked because i saw there was south african representation
More racism towards white that black in south africa
@@typicaldark8826 how?
@@typicaldark8826 there is no such thing as reverse racism and south africa still has systematic racism towards black and poc most of the population is black and poor and white people still very much control south africa with racial profiling, you saying that white people are being discriminated against is not only hurting people who have been discriminated against for their race but also clearly shows that you are uneducated in what the real south africa actually is and how it treats black and poc especially in free state, western cape and northwest. Don't forget about orinia. A town that is only whites and no poc is allowed in or they are killed. Pls next time read up on what the after math of apartheid did to black and poc then come to me with that trash. And if u see black and poc people getting up in corporate or more black owned businesses dont forget prolly 80% of people of south africa are BLACK.your in AFRICA
The lady from Australia too. I saw her name and was like, “Bathong. Hase wa South Africa le yena oo?” 👀
@@typicaldark8826 I'm going to allow you to correct your sentence- I think you're very confused. just reread love
As usual “around the world “ ignored Middle East and North Africa
Typical buzzfeed.
The most largest white population in Africa is in south africa and we are a mear 9%
Sorry dude :(
That's BuzzFeed for ya
Typical Dark ok
These are buzzfeed employees there is no buzzfeed in the middle east or North Africa
The South Africa perspective was fascinating and can someone point me to more sources on the issues?
To read a real life story about race in South Africa, I would absolutely suggest Trevor Noah’s book Born A Crime. It’s probably just a starting point to learn about South Africa, but it’s still super good.
As a black South African, they is soooo much to talk/learn about the issues that have and still go on. They is no simple source to find everything and hear every perspective but all I can advice you is to do your research because their so many beautiful voices,thoughts and expressions on peoples views . They is so much to grasp and understand and I wish you luck.
Definitely a toddler country, considering we have a toddler in office :/
I’m glad Buzzfeed is speaking out about this, using their platform for good. They may be cringey but this video is commendable. Sad that we have to praise for bare minimum though.
That’s true, it’s going to feel cringey as we continue ripping bandaids off 🥺.
Racism in South Africa is a HUGE ISSUE. Especially in Cape Town & Johannesburg. The white people here are like the USA, there are those that will throw it in your face and still have the audacity to make you the fool... Unfortunately we still have a long way to go. I guess the pandemic is kinda helping (I know it’s fucked up to say), because the old white men running corporates are kinda being phased out, but we still have one or two more generations to phase out before we can finally live in a place that racism doesn’t exist (if we ever get there).
Even black on black racism is there as well Africans of different ethnic backgrounds will Demean each other, and that never made sense to me??
Milk moo Man the caucasity of it all. I’ve accepted you all live in your own world of racism and not taking accountability. Peace needs to be on both ends, not one end only. You guys are forever wanting us to be at your begging end.
@@kamomotsoeneng I understand, so murdering farmers based on their skin colour is justified. So really you don't want equality, you just want your colour to win the race war. I am white British, I just want to live my life in peace. Should I also be murdered?
Whenever I log on to SA twitter and black people raise up an issue, especially regarding race... most white South African people tend to either say we're too "sensitive"," Apartheid ended long time ago and racism in SA doesn't exist", "black people are racist to white people too", etc. or just simply ignore it. The recent trend today is to use the murdering of farmers to sort of steer conversations that are meant to be had. Some people are currently using the loss of farmer life to push the narrative that black people in South Africa are irrational and insensitive and that is not right. To me, it feels as if white South Africans don't want to fight against or understand the problems that black South Africans face but as soon as they are affected, they expect everyone to jump... when they had, in fact, either been dormant or a problem for so long. Both issues should be brought up, discussed and delt with in a manner that doesn't distort the other. Farmers don't deserve to be murdered AND black people in South Africa need to be heard and listened to by their white counterparts, corperations and the government. Whenever a black person is bringing up their concerns, stop using the murdering of farmers as a shield and a defence mechanism but rather hear them out with the intent of understanding and have a proper conversation about it, then when they are done, bring up the issue of farmer murdering, have them hear you out and then have a proper conversation about it. I can't be expected to be out here, advocating for you to live in peace while a large majority of South Africans are not.
A side note:
roughly 70-75% of farming land in South Africa is owned by white people in a country has a stagering 92% of its population that identifies as non-white. I think saying farmers are murdered just because of their skin colour is over simplifying, avoiding conversations that are neccesary and those conversations would help with figuring out who is murdering farmers

For the guy who grew up in Japan, I thought his story was pretty interesting. I’ve seen a lot of videos of other black people in Japan who have said they earnestly feel that they have experienced no racism at all there. Many of them also say that it’s mostly the large metropolitan areas where there’s racism, but the rural small towns are pretty alright, apparently.
Wish the Australian representative was aboriginal... Now that is the biggest example of our countries history of racism :(
Aboriginal is an ethnicity not a race
It’s like saying Latino is a race but I’m not being ignorant about it but Australia does have a lot of racism just like other countries that are mentioned in this video.
@@kennethopoku226 actually my comment never referred to an Aboriginal race; I said that Aboriginals have received the most racism in this country. Racism is defined as being toward race OR ethnicity.
The question of race is somewhat moot anyway, as we are all technically just one race; the human race. Within that unified race, we all have a range of different and interesting ethnicities and backgrounds.
I was merely trying to suggest it would be good to hear from the perspective of an Aboriginal (or Torres Strait Islander), considering the long and painful history they have endured and continue to in their own country
I'd like to see not english speaking countries (apart from japan, where the guy was american)
They are/were colonies of the UK. Japan had an American base. Looking at it from that perspective, it shows how much the "motherland" influences social, political, and ideological structures.

It's not because they want to they are forced to allow immigrants due to the they population shrinking of old age

You know it’s 2020 everyone deserves respect regardless of their skin colour. Regardless of their background. When my moms brother first came to Canada he went to his school swimming pool. He wore a turban at the time and these guys came and throw the turban to the ground my uncle got mad just before going back home he cut his hair. My grandpa was upset but understood why. And just recently it happened to another Sikh brother he was walking minding his own business and these non Indian guys came and started kicking him throw his turban to the ground. The police got them. These kind of thing should not happen at all. Respect every body. This is why I believe in Equality. Treat everyone the same.
This video made me feel comfortable, with who I am now. Racism does not matter, it's all about being in hands with humans who are different from all around the world, around the globe, and on Earth.
Literally Whenever I plan on Traveling the first thing I look up is always “is **insert Country**_______Racist? then I constantly look up TH-cam videos of Other Black people’s experience in that country before deciding if I still want to go there or not.
Racism exists in all countries, all societies and even in all skin colours. I think it is better to judge the individual rather than issue blanket statements on entire countries (unless racism is enshrined in law, that would be quite different).
Can't really pin a country for one guy's actions
My ex isn't black but he is a POC (dark skinned South Asian) .. he said he has NEVER experienced any racism in Canada (Ontario - GTA) which I find incredibly hard to believe. But I guess everyone's experience is vastly different.

@@makim4199 "Incredibly hard to believe" Y is racism such a normal thing people thing should exist. :/ Maybe reword your comment
@@Biomeac nah I don't feel like I need to reword my comment. I meant it. Is racism okay? Obviously not.. but does it exist everywhere? Absolutely. Disacknowledging that fact doesn't do anyone any favours. I watch the news.. I can see that this happens in many places and the USA is largely covered even by Canadian media. Sometimes it's talked about MORE than Canadian media so I'm always interested in what goes on in my own country. I like talking to people about their experiences if they want to.. because as a white person I cannot relate. Even though my part of Canada is hugely multicultural.. I still hear about racism. So hearing that someone close to me has NOT had that experience is relieving and yes.. frankly quite hard to believe since I've had others tell me the exact opposite.
@@makim4199 My point was that if racism was accepted by everyone and it was considered "normal" although wrong, for example teenagers being rowdy due to adolescence is accepted as "normal" the general perception would change towards the attitudes of teenagers, likewise if we accept the fact that racism is everywhere is not okay.
That's my best friend! So proud of you Siba, royalty stating facts

I think that people can sometimes make assumptions about racism which are not true. I was talking to a female from an Indian background a few months ago. She was talking about how she was being discriminated in court by judges. She was a lawyer. However I found her to be quite obnoxious. I think she would have assumed I was being racist if I had been a judge and been curt with her because of her rudeness.
blm!!
No do one about white people that grew up poor and in the country

This video didn’t include Italy, Middle East, India, North Africa, South Africa Israel where people are extremely racist toward blacks

I can't say this for other Black people but I never experienced this but I still know it happens. I'm not sure about the frequency but it does happen to everyone and everywhere
I’m glad you haven’t had to that’s good.
Sad that the British girls story really exemplifies that racism is taught...the girl was apologising coz she knew at some level that its not OK...question is was she able to continue realising the wrong or did she fully take on the prejudices of her parents?
I live in Canada but an African immigrant so most of the time the racism is tied to being African level black. It's just basically too black for them to adapt so u end up weeded out. The rest is just the usual complaining about how u pronounce words which gets rude. I do have a friend who assumes I relate to their fear of the police but I have no relationship with the police so no opinion. I did have issues with airport security red flagging me.

@@typicaldark8826 ?
Typical Dark you’ve been commenting on a lot of comments about South Africa. Are you a white South African? I feel like you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about. South Africa has a history of and currently still has complex and tense race relations, and its comments like yours that perpetuate negative stereotypes and attitudes. There are race related incidents and murders against both black people and white people but to say that there are ‘black privileges’ in a country still battling the effects of apartheid is shortsighted.
America is racist, but not that bad anymore. A lot of Americans are moving toward the stage of awakening.
All the comments are bots :/ Blm!
Love this. Can we get things this for other minorities? Like Jews or Muslims
Thanks for the video, I will say that people are not aware of this cases and i hope that this opens some minds.
Hi!
So..I have to turn down what was said about Japan. I wasn't born there, but I went there at a young age (4 years).
I shockingly live in America now, only because of a job my father gotten into. If it wasn't for that, I think we would've stayed.
Anyway, Japan to me is wonderful.
My parents never experienced racism and nor have I.
Matter a fact, I've been called out for being famous or something.
I've been called very beautiful or smart, sometimes royalty, in which I don't think very often of being called.
It wasn't hard for me because my parents already took the time to get to know some people and suggested places.
People at our neighborhood or village knew us for being beautiful and smart, it wasn't a big deal. If anyone messed with us, Miss Kim or as I called her flame of the night would gladly do a checking upon them.
We respected the Japanese culture and so did they did with our's. It was like we were ment to be noticed together!
I should say this in the smi-suburb and not the city though..
I've been to the city and it's a bit different than at home, it's like any city really though.
I got stared at for the first time there, and I even had my hair touched without permission too. I wasn't used to that.
It isn't a large problem, butJapanese should get better at respecting guidelines and personal space.
With that being said, Japan is the best place I've been, nothing was ever wrong there. So yea, that's my experience. All experiences are different! So definitely check it out! :)
Wait...wait...wait......
South Africa is like 80+% Black.
They are NOT a minority
Woooow this is sad. I've never experienced racism. If I did I literally ignored it. Like maybe being watched in a store but even then not really. But the fact they had to go thru with these situations it's really saaaad.
I can’t believe that we are in 2020, this look like 1950
I think you're exaggerating just a little bit
I would love to be friend with the girl from South africa - could listen to her voice for a long time
We can never stop racism or sexism or anything else that has to do with someone being different. It’s just not how we are built mentally and if some how one day we gain this equality it will be short lived since the suppress will try and over throw.
For the ones with the thumps down. Sorry you are vastly outnumbered.

Racism occurs everywhere against every race because all races find it difficult to understand people who look differently to them. Some people have gotten used to this and are able to move past it and no longer consider it an issue or are young enough to not see differences as an issue. I didn’t see race as a problem until BLM. Seeing black people getting angry at me just because I’m white and therefore must be racist has made me think about race. That alone has made me less trusting and more aware when somebody looks different to me, thinking that they must hate me. Where I live it’s more about racist attacks on Eastern Europeans, not black people. Not to say that nobody is racist against blacks here, but it’s less of an issue. In primary school when we had a Chinese girl join our year, yes all the kids were curious and saying the only Asian words they knew (konnichiwa and that’s it) but there was no hate because she was Asian. She was one of my best friends, her looking different was interesting but never something to dislike her for)
Did you see a problem with police accounts not matching video when black people were killed by police? Or that it continually happens?
Are you saying what you have experienced is as bad as getting killed?
recoil53 This is what is happening in the US, I don’t live there. The violence experienced there is not what is being experienced here.
@@thePipeBandEnthusiast Studies show discrimination against black people in all industrialized countries - things that white people don't experience.
Doesn't have to be just violence.
recoil53 White people do experience these things though, like where I live, where it’s mostly Eastern Europeans who experience that kind of racist discrimination. Not saying it doesn’t happen to black people here sometimes, but it is less common
For me, this terminology doesn't work. It makes it seem like black means African or of African descent. It excludes Australian Aborigines, Torres Straight Islanders, Melanesians, Indians, Filipinos, and anyone else with dark skin pigmentation. It's like taking Afro-centricity too far. Just say, what it's like growing up African around the world. Black is a very westernized concept.
I guess white people can’t be Africans 🤦🏾♂️
As a black canadian, i face racism and discrimination all the time. If im nice people will treat me badly. If im rude, they will try to police my behavior. They always do that.
If you feel discriminated or offended by words dont come out of your house. The world is so much more evil
the thing about UK racism being microagressions is really interesting. I'm white and have never experienced racism. and eventhough I always thought of racism as really bigoted and large displays of hatred, there's most definitely smaller stuff as well and I'll be looking out for it and holding people accountable for their actions.
i feel like microagressions towards poc also happen towards a variety of others as well, like sexist microagressions and particularly microagressions towards people because of their religion
Ur white ofc u don’t experience racism
