Sorry to hear you had that bad experience, man. Just don't let it get you too down. Keep on being who you are and try to be the best person you can! Peace!
mate by looking at your skin you could pass for white. you dont even look half-caste but maby quarter-caste. but you,re more closley related to your white genes.
we don't know what people went through or are presently going through in their life to make them react the way they do. yes some people do trip off of race but other times it's personal problems. i wonder what would happened if people just stopped focusing their energy on what others thought of them. cause in reality the only opinion that matters is our own. but people are so scared of being judged...world filled with people that are scared of being different and judged.....
i dont want to sound racist at all by saying this.
but with animals mixed raced dogs for example are generally more clever than the pure breeds, so maybe there is something to this stereotype? My cousin is very clever and he is half Egyptian half English.
and i saw a study recently that showed that mixed raced people only equate to a a small percentage in population in England but a much higher percentage in competitive sport and Olympics more than black or whites.
"babyblueeyes2004", do you realize that everyone is "ethnic"? It's so silly when you hear people toss around the word "ethnic" like it pertains to everyone EXCEPT for (usually) Whites). It pertains to everyone,
i have to be honest There are so many ethinic men and women (not all black) in barking that make you feel quite intimidated i have felt like that pleanty of times when i have been there and so many people have been mugged and attacked in barking in broad daylight aswell so she most probably genuinely didnt realise who you were
To be honest he hasn't said anything racist. He's expressed a view that affects his racial identity. Maybe the woman needed to cross the road or maybe there was a fear of something non evident like a mugging. However its a lack of understanding. Typically in the white community there isn't an acceptance of the mixed-raced. In the Trident gun adverts theres a commonly a picture of a mixed raced and black person. They have been accepted into the black community and take on their stereotypes
I'm a multi-ethnic American & I do NOT think you are being paranoid or whining about something trivial. White people have no idea what it feels like when someone you would actually consider a "friend" crosses the street to avoid you solely because of your ethnicity.
It's such a very gut-wrenching and deflating feeling.
Your story reflects a deep deep pain experienced by many every day and is a huge wake-up call to all races of color that no matter what people say, or how nice they are in certain (public) situations, their beliefs are so deeply ingrained they probably do these things unconsciously & would SWEAR they aren't racist in the least.
How do you change a belief held THAT strongly inside a person?
I dont think its so much that you black / mixed-race. I am white and about the same age as you, and i get the same responce from people all the time - i think that its more a symptom of our age. Although i do agree there are allot of racist people out there.
Actually I disagree with you on so many levels I cant be arsed to even respond. I know racism isnt one way and didnt suggest it was. As Isaid before just dont watch my videos if you dont like the message.
dick wad??? the P.C. brigade in full affect on here! racism is everywhere! birds of a feather stick together!! have ya never heard that saying?? funkr 77?? black people mainly have black friends! white,s with white,s! chinese with chinese! and so on!! its human nature that all races are racist toward each other!! ive walked in a black pub before and believe me! they let me know i wasnt welcome being white!! so get in the real world and stop the paranoid shit!! racism isnt all one way! prick!
I dont understand how people cant just accept people for who they are. I am a mixed race kid, my moms black/native american, and my dads white, and people always ask me who I am. I dont mind, but it gets annoying sometimes.
sum white ppl r so closed off, i memba at ma predomantly white school, ppl thought i was mixed,(thank god im not) im black (lightskin). i ain racist tho i got mixed cousins unfortunatley
no offense 2 mix ppl or my cousins, but im glad i can indetify with 1 side, ppl shouldnt mix races coz theres enough problems in the world without confusing shit further but hey thats jus my view, im sure many dont agree with me
well if your a lightskin and afro american u obviously have some white in you. but that depends how light you are. if your like tina knowles then u aint pure black, yes im mixed and my dad i west african, there are no west africans with beige skin unless their mixed.
im britsh carribean, im not lite as tina knowles more like 'the game's colour, i always thought i woz 'normal' black person colour,coz black people come in different shades, ahhh its all confusin
yes if your the games colour the fair enough that is normal. but black people do not come in all colours like people say, they come in different shades of brown. in west africa there are a couple of pure blacks who are caramel skinned or a little bit yellowish complexion, especially nigeria, but never like tina knowles, tina is definatly mixed race, just not from first generation. most black americans have white ancestry anyway. , some just have more white in them than others
hey mate again, i really like ur videos, i understand how u feel, cause like i said in the other video, im mixed race like you and from the east end, if u know anything about old skool canning town, u would know it was as racist as barking, not anymore now that both barking and canning town are very diverse, but i live in essex now too. there are times when i walk round in clacton on sea i feel very intimadated by some white boys
that true mate, sometimes i wish i had two mixed race parents instead of one white and black because they dont seem to go threw as much discrimination as first generation mixed people. btw, have you ever heard or come across anyone with two mixed parents/ i heard there is lot of them in liverpool.
I personally dont think I know any mixed raced couple. Im sure there must be many as the whole genetic makeup of the world seems be from mixing some type of genes, religion or culture but that is another subject all together ;)
I haven't seen her for about 4 years as I changed my job. After that experience she still came into the store from time to time and nothing was never mentioned.
thank you for speaking on this subject i am also mixed raced and i live in a predominantly white area and when i firsted moved into the area walking the highstreet i would notice that people(white)would cross the roads when they saw me. It took a while for me to notice why there was barely any people on my side of the road. I was angry about this and felt that there was no one esle could 'feel my pain'. So thank you for this video
I wonder what would have happened if your skin was even darker. No offense but you have very light skin and if this old white lady was intimidated by that, I can't imagine what she would have done if you were a dark skinned man dressed in blue jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt. Was this a predominantly white area?
The area is Barking, Essex what is near the East End of London and I worked there for around 12 Years. It is not a "white" area at all but a rather a working class area.
yeah i notice an wonder why most mixed race people in the south dont date each other, im not talking about the ones who live in all white areas, but from i see most mixed race guys date white girls and mixed race girls date equally white and black guys, even if they grow up in areas where theres lots of mixed people. but in liverpool is different, i thinks its because theres more mixed people than black people.
thanks for subscribing to my videos homie i like ur response to that other video reminds me of once when i was working at my dads shoe repair and some old white lady came by and was talkin i told her i was going to awedding and then she asks me if i was going too drink lots of tequilla that really offended me because she was obviosly using a mexican stereotype my actual race is native american but people are pretty racist even here in california a supposedly progressive state
