  • We asked 67 people from all over the world to take a DNA test. It turns out they have much more in common with other nationalities than they thought ...
    It’s easy to think there are more things dividing us than uniting us. But we actually have much more in common with other nationalities than you’d think.
    At momondo we believe that everybody should be able to travel the world, to meet other people, and experience other cultures and religions. Travel opens our minds: when we experience something different, we begin to see things differently. Share this video, and help us spread the word - and open our world.

      Totally agree. Why did they try to "make it look "real" in such a ridiculous way? It's all about tolerance, just make a normal commercial or if it has to be a "social experiment" just take real people with "normal" reactions (and don't consider people are stupid enough to believe DNA can't determine precisely which country you're from... -_-).

    "The participants in the video, which has more than 5 million views, are actors and extras Momondo found through casting agencies...But each one actually had their DNA tested and their reactions to their results were "spontaneous," the company said."
    I, too, found myself moved and touched by their reactions. There is so much distrust and hate and fear in this world. The power of discovering how related we all are can be transformative - if we let it in. Akin to the first picture of our earth from space, the "blue marble" bringing home that we are all in this together. Love transforms and unites. Fear distances and polarizes. Which do we choose to be a part of?

      Gillinghamgus I'm not saying it's fake because of the results. all people are racially mixed, I know that.
      It is fake because of the acting, the way they react to the results.
      these are not real racists who think they are racially "pure"... these are clearly actors playing a part.

      TLDR: their biased not racist, but this videos still probably fake
      to be fair they never said they were flat out racists, they said they were biased. All individuals can be biased about plenty of things, the people shown in the video were biased (not racist) against certain races for whatever reason.
      Maybe they don't like another countries sports team or got injured by a specific group of individuals? Who knows?
      As for this being video being faked, probably. As already stated plenty of times this is a TRAVEL company. Its so much cheaper to pay actors then to fly a bunch of individuals across the world, preform DNA tests and then give them free trips in their origin countries.

      According to their website, they hired extras for some of the people behind the group, and 10 of the 67 participants have some kind of acting experience (though this included being minor extras). They further admit to some retakes, but claim the initial reaction from opening the envelope is not staged, and to make sure they captured it properly they used 4 cameras. The spitting in tube bit is staged in the sense that that was not the test they used.

Imagine how much hate could evaporate if everyone knew and instead of being asked where they were from or ethnicity o race and saying one or two things and it being done with, you pulled out a paper and listed a ton of places. It would just be one more thing in common with someone else. And not to mention that they get to travel, which is the sole dream of many. Very lucky people.

    I keep reading in the comments that this is all fake.

It's almost always 50/50 like that. We'll usually use the reactions of real people because theirs is more genuine, and then use the actors' lines as padding (the British skinhead guy is definitely an actor).

    good morning.
    I love to see this video again and again but I want to ask you, what kind of DNA test did those people take?

    It's not some races I dislike, it's some cultures. Like that one lady said, I have no problem with Turkish people, I have a problem with their culture, religion, and government. In short their ideas.

    My question here is: why do we need a scientific evidence to start believing in that we are all cousins?!
    Not only we're all cousins, but also truly we're all equal. I believe regardless of being black or white, Asian or European, pop star or farmer, poor or rich, the only sane way that we can measure and judge people is based on humanity.

      We are not equal. We have given each other the right for equal rights and opportunities. People use the expression as if it meant the same, but It's not the same.
      The difference between being equal and having the same rights is that if we were all equal, there would not be the differences required to have exchange of ideas and the inspiration that creates progress and advancement.
      It would all be stagnant. All the same. Never changing. Stuck in time. Living dead.
      You can't build anything interesting if you only have one kind of Lego
      piece. You need all the different ones for the cool stuff.

      MithranArkanere, you have interpreted my message wrong, and very obviously I didn't mean we are all equal like robots.
