  • I am multiracial: My skin is white but my crap is black... Must have been the oreos.

  • When this country WAKES UP and stops thinking about "me," and starts thinking about "us" like we USED TO before the 60s, these mixed race people will serve a VITAL FUNCTION as CONNECTIVE TISSUE between the main AMERICAN races, helping to bridge the gap between them and making it a little easier for them to solve their old disputes. That's the only way for a new, UNITED AMERICA to live, without reverting to COMMUNISM or FASCISM to survive.

    The fife and drum march on....

  • @MenkeriosAndemicael "before the 60's" if you were of color you were pretty much a target LOL

  • @blueiguy1 Ha! like as if anything has changed from since then pssh.

  • @MenkeriosAndemicael

    mixed race folks will do nothing to bring people together... they are taught that race is inherently worthless by apologetic parents.

  • America's the type of place where if you are even partyly black you are considered black. I myself was raised by my white mother and i think it would seem a little disrespectful for me to say i am black or to even say that i am white. I am both so more people should be proud and aknowledge both sides of themselves regardless what those are.

  • disgusting

  • @meProudToBeCaucasian lmao professional troll?

  • The half Korean and half white guy looks more or less "ok" to me...:)

  • @LoneCuetlachtli Actually, most of the blacks you see in America are NOT black. That is a myth. The only reason why you think that way is because you , like some Americans, are brainwashed to think that biracial people are only black when that is 100% WRONG. It goes back to an old ignorant racist lie of a one drop law which is inaccurate and stupid. Obama, Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, etc are biracial. End of story. They are not just black or just white. They are biracial. Its not confusing at all.

  • The term "race" is a simple model that puts people in a few boxes. But real life is more complicated.

  • Obama is ignorant when he says it would only be possible in the US.

    The German Vice Chancelor is a pure Asian born in Vietnam who grew up in Germany.

    Most people dont give a fuck about race.

  • The US is just going through what Brazil went some time ago...

  • the black, native american, chinese girl..GORGEOUS

  • @eminor91 the only pure races are the ones who have had no mixing of any other blood.the majority of people in these different countries, such as the USA, mexico, puerto rico, cuba, are of mixed blood.

  • @LilBlkAznBeauty There is no such thing as a "pure" race. That is pretty ignorant to think that we are different races. Biology 101, there's only one, the human race. There are different "ethnic" groups, but not different racial groups. If we were truely different races, then we would not be able to mix.

  • @Eminor91 Same species, not race.

  • @usmcpvtswat Please elaborate on what you mean.

  • @Eminor91 If you haven't noticed, I'm not the one who made up the caste system. The people before us did.They did the classifications. I'm only going according to what you've posted up about having all of those different nationalities in you. I'm well aware of there just being just the human race. Duh. But since you want to pull out all of these different nationalities and classifications, I only went according to how those people from those countries would truly be identified as (O & C)

  • The gentlemen who asked if a black person call themselves black b/c of 1/16th Irish blood, the answer is yes. Are you kidding me? I probably have about 30% arab genes in my blood but I don't look like I have it, so why say, "well, technically I'm this percent ''whatever' " if it's not significant %? Why claim multi racial or biracial? My identity is my upbringing and as for culture, that the responsibility of the parent to make sure you know it.

  • @Jiggahata1 Sorry to ask, but why is it only in the U.S. ppl are obsessed w/ race? esp. mixed ppl? Look at other countries that clearly have multi race genes and they're doing fine. That is from my observation. I really don't like the race topic.

  • neither one of these people are multiracial. they're all biracial. being multiracial means you have black,asian, and white in your blood which is what i have. people get these terms screwed up often.biracial means you're either black and white, white and asian, black and asian, or asian and white. what they're naming are nationalities of parts of the world that their ancestors or parts came from.

  • @LilBlkAznBeauty And what about people of latino origins? My dad's Tejano and Mayan Mexican, Mum's mainly Scottish with some French, English, Welsh, etc. Also, go to Europe and tell them Germans that they're just white people like all the other Europeans, tell the English that, tell the French that, don't expect a friendly response XD It's much more complicated than black, white, and asian. Call a Puetro Rican a Mexican XD

  • @Eminor91 whoever you are, all you doing is naming alot of nationalities. I'm sure whatever Tejano,Mayan Mexican , Scottich, French, English, Welsh, ect, those are all mixtures of white and asian, nomatter how you dress it up. all of that stuff is not a race. puerto ricans have black in them including white and asian.there's really not a difference in anyone in the world. we're just mixed with 2 (bi-meaning 2) races or 3 (multi-meaning 3) races. Races are [White, Black, and Oriental/Asian]

  • @Eminor91 What about "Latinos"?The majority of them are part Native American Indian (Oriental), and Caucasian. Most people from Mexico have that mixture. I'm not saying they all do. But most of them do. Others could be Caucasian Only. Some could be just African or mixed with African, and white, or black white and asian(Asian doesn't mean Chinese,Japanese, ect) Asian as in (Native American). The nationalities that you just named are just what they are, Nationalities, they're not races.

  • @Eminor91 These countries are mixed with different people.Black= 1st race, the rest are results from climate because they (Blacks) wanted to adapt to the weather.They all originated from Africa and migrated.All of this other caca you've said is basically stuff that I know as far as there only being one real race.No shit. As far as why we're different in body types,skin,facial features, all has to climate during the times when people migrated to different parts of the world. No further comments.

  • @abshirsen It's biblical. Not that I follow religion, but apparently in the bible God created race.

  • Black Pride, White Pride, La Raza....we mixed people need a "Multiracial" Pride, see how society likes that and I've seen Phillip on another video on YouTube.

  • (continued) the worlds loved cultures are famously known for blending of 2 or more cultures or races of peoples. Mixed people are also some of the most beautiful and intelligent. More Genetic variation for procreating can work out very well and after all, naturally it is evolution.

  • Being mixed race definetly comes with its own challenges and distinct issues. If you look like a certain race more than the other and you are continually categorised by others as one in particular it can be annoying.Being mixed with several diferent race groups can also be complex like in my case. But I think knowing about each different part of your background ,the cultures and embracing them is neccesary and good for Multiracial peoples.There are many positives to being Mixed race and many of

  • I'm Bi-racial, and the sad thing I found out from when I grew up, I asked myself, "why is this an important subject?" When your a mixed race, you might find out that you don't need to be like one or the other because its hard to fit in at times. You just need to act yourself.

  • @Blazeofdoom well said :)

  • @Blazeofdoom I am mixed too and I have no issues what soever fitting in with ANYTHING. I like a variety of things and I look mixed. Its not an issue at all.

  • @Barfetta3000 Yeah, I only meant with a certain demographic of people, thats why I said, "at times" not saying I don't fit in at all, bu to people who are being labeled as "acting black" or "acting white". Because how do you "act white" or "act black"? I say its more of a personal issue for some, not entirely an complete issue, no.

  • with the exception of the half white/asian person, you all look black to me.

  • @AveolarD Thats because you are stupid. Anyone with half a brain can tell when someone is mixed or not.

    Leona Lewis VS Monique.

  • @Barfetta3000 and anyone with a quarter of a brain, realizes that when you are mixed, you are black, ignorant fool.

  • @CoJlko So u would be mad if your daughter brought home a black or hispanic guy? It's that subtle way of thinking that grows into something huge where you will not accept people because of the color of their skin. You have to be open minded and not judge people buy the color of their skin but by their values.

  • I'm proud to be white. I'm okay with multiracial people, but u know, I don't want this to happen to my children, and I hope that my children will understand that we must secure our unique culture, our unique look, and that's what our ancestors were trying to do. We all are different and that's beautiful in it's own way. I'm gonna be white till my dying day.

    As for me, white woman is the most beautiful creature in the world. And I believe that Russian nation will forever stay white.

  • @CoJlko nobody wants to go to russia....vodka drinking motherfkers....why would u want to go to russia...what is it to do there despite fking ur liver up

  • @CoJlko You are an idiot. Have fun being ugly and lonely.

  • One thing I have always noticed is that people of mixed and/or bi-racial identity always gravitate towards the ethnic group that they can identify with according to phenotype (looks, colour and features). It is a natural human trait to have an association and kinship with others. Human beings are social creatures. Certainly, we all love other cultures, religions and races, but we for our own sense of self it is that visceral connection we desire to define ourselves exclusively.

  • @chrisperdicaro NOT TRUE AT ALL.

    I am mixed and I don't look like anyone at all. I choose my friends based on interests, not looks. Who does that? Only brainwashed self-hating idiots do that.

  • Great video! The world's a melting pot with all kinds of people. We are Mixed Nation.

  • it's been race mixing since the begining of time. The world is this social construct that's built on race/color code.. the lighter you are, you are accepted.. and the darker you are you will be unaccepted to a degree. Go look at your families and observe their behaviors on the darker family members and the fair skins.. This is viewed in every family...

  • so what are we going to do now since we created another "race" overnight... Do you get in where you fit in??? everyone is "mixed with some ethnic background.

  • Maaaaan mixed race people are so hooooooooooot!!!!!!!! especially at 0:28

  • HYBRID is multi,bi,mixed-race. NationofHYBRIDS com  this web site ot really cool.

  • of course you mixed don't want to accept but its true mixing is desstroying culture,heritage...lets say i am blond hair blue eyes i mix with black,asian etc and my child would not have any more blond hair blue eyes..only black eyes,hair.

  • @verdefull not so true as you can see some mulit racial or biracial children don't get those genes. lets say both parents are white blonde hair blue eyes well then the child may come out with facial features of an asian or african american, why? because those are retained genes one of those parents had a black or asian ancestor

    and sometimes it might skip a generation like or just show up randomly because the dna is being complied between the two parents to make a genetically different baby

  • I'm multiracial - black, american indian, white, puerto rican. Growing up has been really though because you don't fit anywhere, or people make you choose a side. Either way, I am not accepted because I'm not black enough, whites don't really know the difference they think i'm just black, some people think that I am only indian and nothing else, and then hispanics can be ignorant as if puerto rican's can't also be dark (the ones in my family are dark!) SO yeah, now that im older i learn to embra

  • I love being multi racial. What pisses me off is that America cares......What does it matter? I mean from yea mixed people look pretty cool but other than that we're normal people.

  • I'm mixed black and white... I think it's a blessing or a curse, depending on the way you choose to look at it. I find forgiveness, empathy, a sense of humor, and the realization that all races are beautiful in their own way are helpful to living in a divided world. Know yourself, love yourself, love others, realize the world is coming together and your are a shining example of that!

  • i can relate to a lot of this. i think its true that we try to identify more with the race we look like most. i think it switches depending on where we are who we identify with.  that kid's curly golden hair was gorgeous btw.

  • wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the kid talking in the beginning looks soooooooooooo friggin cool! I want my son to look like him <3

  • once you think about everyone in america are biracial. just check out the history books.

  • @ariesisland you're absolutely right. especially in the south.

  • mixing races is not bad from a moral standpoint and there is certainly no wrong being done when parents of different races create a child of biracial qualities, BUT i can tell you from working with kids that it does create a burden on the childs shoulder in everyday life.

    It is easier to get away with being only white or only black etc but when someone is mixed they are stuck in the middle in life.

  • @BlakeC94 well, i'm multi-racial. when i grew up, my race didn't make me have a hard knock life. so that statement doesn't hold true to every biracial or multi-racial person.

  • @BlakeC94 No it does not. Maybe because YOU give off vibes to them that YOU are uncomfortable with it for some stupid reason, and its transferring over to them. How about YOU work on becoming more mature and pull your head out of your anus to realize that being mixed is not an issue in any way, shape, or form. Ok?

  • @Barfetta3000 tell the kids that are mixed that its not an issue, the ones who get beat up because their counterparts at school dont know how to accept them. Tell that to the people who are ashamed when they are stared at in public.

    Until people can get used to mixed people then i would certainly not advocate parents creating offspring of that nature.

    Its not ME. Its many, many others.

  • I'm Brazilian and I'm multi-racial.

    I used to live in Montreal and there most white people I talked to told me that I look like an arab (from my perspective, it's the other way around - arabs look like Brazilians, even though our cultures are very different).

    In Toronto, where I live now, nobody has ever said to me that I look arab. They tell me I'm latino right away (which I'm alright with since Brazil is in Latin America). Arabs complain that people think they're latinos in Toronto.

  • This group is a good idea.

    I have found as a bi-racial person it is better to deemphasize race on a professional level.

    Frankly, I didn't have a choice as a writer and freelance journalist.

    You are judged largely though not entirely on your work so the structure of that necessitated the approach.

  • I am Cuban of canary Islander (North African), Catalan (spanish/french), and Italian descent. Being multiracial/cultural is a blessing :3

  • are there groups for mixed people everywhere?

  • @crazysoccergrl101

    lol, I'd imagine so...for places with significant population that are a minority.

    It's strange being mixed.

  • @poppinbooties i cant find any in memphis :( and there are plenty of us

  • change gon' come" rap re-mix by MzMuffin - on the real, how's u feel?

  • So what does that dude act like a white guy or a soul brother? heh heh :)

  • Comment removed

  • Aww Yeah !!! Multi-racial people FTW !!!

  • Wow, there's at least 7.3 billion of us?

  • no more blue eyes in America

  • the guy with the curles is so cute <3

  • @SayakaKawaii He most certainly is lol :)

  • i really hate it when people say Obama is black, i mean he is NOT black, and neither white, he is MULTIRACIAL,a very dfferent thing

  • @davlor86 same

  • @davlor86 he is Black and White..nobody said he is just white or just black..so if someone says obama is black..there correct because he is... he has more Black blood than white just based off his appearance..

  • @MDefsquad9 "he has more Black blood than white just based off his appearance" Well i guess then also that just because my mom doesn't look anything like her mom it means she has more her father's blood than her mom? No, actually 2 of her sons (including me) look a lot like her mom, so surprise, she did have her mom's blood, same thing happens with Obama, just because he looks more black than white

    he DOESN'T, he has 50/50, because his mom is white and his dad is black, just that simple.

  • @MDefsquad9 just because he looks more black than white it does not mean he has more black blood than white, he is 50/50, and she carry both genes, so YES HE IS BIRACIAL not black or white, sorry but that's the truth.

  • @davlor86 ok hes 50/50/...what about people who are African American who consider them sevles black but have 40 percent white european and and the rest sub saharan African..there just consider black right?..or should we say oh no your not black or white your 40% White and 60% Black..like WTF?. u call those people?..black or White?

  • @MDefsquad9 People can consider themselves whatever the hell they want. What they consider themselves doesn't change the facts. If someone is 50/50 black and white then that's what they are but if they just want to say they're black then that's up to them. That's all there is to it really.

  • @DamnItMika Exactly..so you got people who put people in the box..we obama clearly said he is african american(Black man)..other people are like noo he is not Black...hes biracial..ok yea he is biracial..he is also a Black man who has european blood in him.

  • @MDefsquad9

    He is also European man with black blood....or does that bother you to much??

  • @poppinbooties ok i dont know what we talking about anymore..and ok im not ignorant and no it doesnt bother me if hes European with black blood..I dont really care about color anymore..call what ever you feel you want to be called. I consider my self a Black guy who multiraciallay mixed i many generations of my family who are like this. and at the end of the day I dont care what color you are if I have enough water and your thirsty I give you some.

  • @MDefsquad9

    You're sadly ignorant, makes me sick.

  • @davlor86 Ok, so where do 80% of African-Americans fit in to this equation considering most AAs have a euro admixture?

    Take someone like Snoop Dogg who is 71% African, 23% Native American, and 6% white. Can he not consider himself black, because of his mixed heritage? Must he be considered multiracial like Obama?

  • @CameronCourts Obama I beleive considers himself black and by the pressure that society puts on him to do so I don't blame him.

    AA are very mixed they are different from pure Africans, therefor they are called African Americans not Africans. but that does not mean that and African American and something else should not be able to recognized the AA side and what every they are mixed with.

  • @TheEvocable Pressure? Obama states very clearly that his life experiences are responsible for his black identity. So if thats what you mean by pressure, then yes, I agree.

    And no, your assessment on why AAs are called African Americans is wrong. You can be 100% African and still be African American. Admixture is not required.

    I don't disagree at all with your last statement. My problem is when ppl try to force biracials to claim "mixed" as opposed to one or the other. Its their choice.

  • His mother must have been a hippie chick.

  • Man, did you see that slim black girl's face. IMHO, she looks like she'd kill those mixed ppl.

  • Also, babyfoods, I think your caps lock key is broken, because you seem to have yours stuck on "on".

  • @McMcMeaty Yes it was stuck on ....ANYHU I did take science btw but science and what I see everyday are two different things theres a whole heap of mixed race people here in london with genetic disorders. I dunno to whom that hypothesis of mixed race people having a genetic disorder applies. but as I said I state what I see.

  • @babyfods18

    To bad that's dumb logic, babyfood. Mixed race people aren't immune to genetic disorders. I never said that. What I did say is that they are less susceptible than people who are not mixed. People who breed within their own ethnic groups raise their chances of acquiring genetic problems.

    Had you taken even entry level college biology, you would know this.

  • @McMcMeaty lmao I attend LSE (look it up) where I do International relations. However I would like to say this science also states that the orginal man and woman were African and after thousands of years of expanding around the world people developed. so tell me this if there is only one race, the human race then please explain to me how it is possible for people from two different "races" to be better than someone who is still equally a descendant from the original man? I would like to know.

  • @McMcMeaty I have asked many scientists this and have gotten the same bullshit answer but since u are mixed I am sure you know the scirntific history of "your people so please enlighten me. Al so scince has "proved" whites superior to blacks and till today many scirntific racialist use that theory. Science many times has contradicted itself. I suggest you look into it instead of stating facts you hear, science says one thing and often corrects itself years later.

  • @McMcMeaty sorry for the typos.

  • @McMcMeaty *advantage

  • Was that Ryan o'Reilly from OZ in that commercial?

  • who gives a fuck about biracials?! lol no offense but people make it out like its some kind of prize jheeeze someone married outside their race BIG FUCKING DEAL!!!

  • @babyfods18 lmao jealous much :P

  • @tokyodoru aww thats right I must be really jealous because I care more about whats going on in gaza and palestine over a bunch of rich nyc kids complaining bout being from two races. yeah thats real jealousy, thanks for pointing it out. You're a real genius. *rolls eyes*

  • @babyfods18 yeah it is jealousy irregardless.. you know why? because if you cared so much about other issues in the world which yeah rightly said are more important ON A GLOBAL SCALE then you wouldn't be here instead you'd be somewhere else showing that you cared ;)

  • @tokyodoru gOOD POINT. BUT UNFORTNATELY FOR MY PROJECT AT UNI WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK INTO THE LIVES OF MIXED RACE PEOPLE AND I HAVE TO SAY ITS NOTHING SPECIAL. YOU GUYS EAT, SLEEP, DRINK AND SHIT THE SAME AS PEOPLE FROM ONE RACE SO TO ME ITS STUPID TO EVEN HAVE DOCUMENTARIES BOUT IT. UR PARENTS MARRIED OUTSIDE THEIR RACE BIG DEAL I TALK TO ANYONE BUT WHEN SOME ONE IS SOO EXCITED BOUT NOTHING ITS DUMB!! CHANNEL 4 IN THE UK DEDICATED A WHOLE WEEK TO MIXED RACE PEOPLE, U AINT DISABLED SO Y THE HYPE!

  • @babyfods18 clearly you're from london i can spot their filthy attitude a mile away.. aside from that a non mixed person will never understand a mixed person that's like me trying to understand being black when i'm not black it just can't work but i can empathise though seems you need to brush up on those skills.. we don't care about being mixed we want to be seen as the same accepted by both our cultures the problem's created by society and people like you who don't understand 'mixed race'

  • @tokyodoru i would never understand it because it is stupid and superficial and totally made in your head. I have many mixed friends who dont give a fuck but when they are with other mix race people go into a depression about this bullshit!!! YOU'RE HUMAN FORGET ALL THIS MIXED SHIT GOSH!!!

  • @babyfods18 in uk the most common mix is white/black they see others like them alot & can say they're 100% black but if they say they're 100% white since they're equally as white it woud be an issue these are things you should be thinking about we we're not accepted into both our cultures more often than not if you're really doing an assignment and you want to know then kipfullbeck is who you should be watching/reaserching

  • @babyfods18

    Typing in caps does not increase volume.

    Hype? because mixed race people are blurring racial lines, challenging the ignorant view of race.

    I agree though dude, the hype is dumb...we're just ppl, not some census novelty item to show off bwhahaa

  • The only thing about mixing races is that you do lose culture. Either kids favor one over the other or they forget about the two completely and just celebrate "American culture" which is somewhat unhealthy and virtually non-existent. If you're just one race(improbable) explore another culture or your own historical culture(whether it's European or African or Asian or American Indian or Latin American or Polynesian). Without customs and tradition, we're just different shades of skin.

  • @Cre8iveN8ive or you mixed the cultures themselves, which been happening since human history. Cultures always changes. 

  • hmm i'm FULL HUMAN WOOOHOOO!! :D

  • We're doing a show on Mixed Race People

  • @majorporpoise Its cool to be White and proud, but to call for the extermination of certain people because of their racial mix is just stupid......Pride does not equal being an asshole!!

    100% Mixed race and proud!

  • i'm half japanese half mexican italian spanish.. i look very hispanic i pass for full mexican and i don't care because i'm proud to be hispanic but at the same time i've struggled to relate to the asian side and you'd only really know if you took the time to really look at the shape of my eyes .. being mixed race is good somedays and not so good others but it's not something we can change so i guess all of us have to accept ourselfs as much as society does

  • @tokyodoru that funny because my family is Hispanic, but some of my cousins look Japanese.

  • @Autoctonal lol you know some hispanics have native indian bloodlines right they're decended from mongols so that's why :P

  • I'm half caucasian (welsh, irish, french), a quarter puerto rican, about a quarter hawaiian and chinese.

    I don't like to make a big deal with my race so I usually just say what I'm most of--white and puerto rican. But I have had so many people I look asian--which I also am. It gets a bit confusing what to identity with sometimes.

  • I am half afghan and half nicaraguan and do not seem to fit into either group, which makes it hard yet it is apart of who i am and am proud of that. They should include the multiracial box more often, i do not like to be stigmatized as the "other" or better yet not place such an emphasis on race to begin with.

  • Let us celebrate multiethnicity! I am half Nigerian and Half Russian. My tribe is Ibibio who are also considered one of the African Jewish groups with Egyptian and Abrahamic blood :-)

  • Philip Handy sounds EXACTLY like Daniel Wu.

  • this is bullshit

  • @1msbracey u jus mad cause u can't be nothing else, hater :)

  • @1msbracey how

  • I am too!

  • My Dad is half American and Half Spanish and also My Mom is Half Filipino and Half Japanese. Im proud to be MULTIRACIAL!!! To all the people who discriminating us, i would like to say... INSECURITY KILLS!!!

  • im multiracial

  • I can relate with these awesome ppl ...i am also muliracial half korean half white

  • I disagree with the poster who said biracial men (half Black/half White) look better than their female counterparts. I think many of both genders look fantastic.

  • Comment removed

  • wow, the guy with curly hair is hot lol

  • I thought the same thing haha

  • Good video!

  • That guy Philip is in one of Tiffany Jones' interviews! But with beautiful hair!

  • im half chinese quarter black quarter white. yo we should all unite start a united multiracial college fund or something lol

  • but honestly we're walking examples of racial harmony. walk tall and don't accept racism at any size from any side my people.

  • @Madorem that would be cool if there was a college like that =)

  • my mom is white and my dad is half white and black. I identify my self only as African American because of one drop rule.... PROUD TO BE BLACK!!!!

  • That's great and all, but don't forget that the majority of your blood is white and don't deny it.

  • @ANTHONY212008 there is no one drop rule anymore.....

  • I am a Mix... i am 1/4 Greek, 1/4 Finnish, 1/4 Hawaiian, and 1/4 African from Sierra Leone... so what am I? A Mutt or a Human Being???

  • ur an exotic looking person lol :) embrace it

  • @LASVEGAN2007 My Dad is half American and Half Spanish and also My Mom is Half Filipino and Half Japanese. Im proud to be MULTIRACIAL!!! To all the people who discriminating us, i would like to say... INSECURITY KILLS!!!

  • Even you are pure or mixed you are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

  • @TheMrMixedbloods watching a little too much fight club i see

  • @angelo1405 Watch if you want to watch, i dont care about them.

  • wat that guy phillip sed was so true...alot of time what you look like as a multiracial person affects how you are treated and what you may want to identify with. altho latina is not a race...in america (which is majority white...anglo) it is a category that people often perceive to be a race. i look straight latina and i have more in commone with my latina cousins and friends. on the other hand my brother looks very, very asian and most of the asian features in my family. he likes anime and...

  • @sdaquila2

    ...is planning to take chinese in college. he loves asian food and identifies strongly with my filipino side. people should just be comfortabel as the are...but should always be proud to be everything they are.

    yo soy cubana, italian, y filipina!

  • i like what you have shared

  • @LASVEGAN2007 i no that latino is not a race...it is a cultural identity...which has a lot of significance in anglo-american society. people are technically correct when they say that latino is not a race, however as a person of latin american/caribbean descent- that culture and heritage has little to do with the anglo-american culture that is mainstream usa. and i have no idea what a 'hispaniard' is

  • most of the Latinos are of part native american, but not all of them mixed with the white spaniards.. many of the white people didn't mix.. they brought blacks, egyptians, filipinos, koreans, chnineese, etc.. so being latino is being mixed and re-re mixed... and continues..

  • LOL, talk about ignorance and having a low IQ. This is a good example.

  • get rid of that mop on your head

  • There is such thing as a multiracial person! I'm half Sephaerdi Jew half Black half Egyptian-Arabian half Brazilian Indian and half Hispanic, I was born white and then I started to become darker,you CAN'T label everyone, life is more grey than black or white!

  • If you walk from north Europe down to the south. The hair of people slowly changes from blond, dark blond, brown to black and the skin from pale to less pale to light brown. The same in Africa, in the north licht brown skin, straight or slightly curved hair. Than it changes village by village to more dark with more curly hair. The desert grew the last 2000 years and has created a contrast that was not there originaly. Races dont exist, nature clearly shows this in the old world!

  • He asks, if you look like one race, do you identify with that race more? I think so - because people identify race visually, other people identify you as that race - it reinforces the identity and expectations of that race. So what you end up looking like kind of shapes a part of you. What do others think?

  • I agree with jingjingguo when he says people should identify based on looks. There was a big black woman in that picture but she's biracial... but she only looks black. If she's walking around and you didn't know she was biracial you would assume she was black. The same for the Korean guy, he looks Asian and that's it. Keanu Reeves looks white so he's white.

    But hey, it's another story for the ones who are not quite white nor quite black nor quite whatever, I don't have an answer there...

  • Holy crap, that first guy is amazingly beautiful!

  • lol that's what i thought!

  • Well all of this intellectual debate is just ridiculous. I'm half Arab, half white and I was the valedictorian of my high school. But of course, those are entirely unrelated concepts.

  • Being biracial myself, I find it incredible to embody this fascinating experience that other people find "disturbing" and "revolting". But I think the real interesting story is what happens when a mixed child or person blends to represent families of drastically different ethnic cultures, languages, religions - when ethnocentricity goes international. Kudos to Faisal for mentioning that!

  • @soulchild2008 Glad you got the connection i was tryin to make :)

  • Holly fuck what a freak creatures r they ? maybe their mothers were whores or bitches or prostitutes or not pure white or psychopaths who knows ? . **LONG LIVE ARYANS**

  • @1989Alcira fuck you... dead race

  • omg our nazi groups r the worst i think they r bitches n fags thats y we see america is the highest percentage in the white world about containing the ugly nations like negros n multiracial nations..ect and the biggest evidence is that ugly n stupid thing in the white house and i wonder y r they still callin it white house they have to call it the negro house

  • RIDICULOUS! Obama in '04 announced to the world at the DNC on NATIONAL TELEVISION that he was biracial yet I keep hearing from biracials that "he didn't say he was mixed". He has two books that are bestsellers & he details he's heritage. He never, ever hid this fact. Anyone who says it was swept under the rug is uneducated. Obama identifies as black because it is his choice, just like yours is to identify as biracial. In this country it means the same thing to alot of people. Get over yourselves

  • I wish I was mixed.I feel left out! lol

  • @ohhowsplendid you're 100% so be proud :p its not a prize to be 50/50

  • What is your problem?
