  • It seems as if the tribal women find that their time is better spent mocking the white woman than sharing their culture. Certainly they must grasp how alone she feels. They are tribal, not stupid.

  • well what the fuck did you expect?! jesus fucking christ how dumber can you people get

  • @GingerBronze : Pork-GENE BEAST LOOKS A MESS: LOL! Why Is She Wearing UPPER-DRESS? :)

  • @Standardfrank - Come, come now, be nice. The British woman is not comfortable in baring her bosom. That is not her acculturation.

  • Wow, of course she's not going to fit in. What did she expect, she walked into a completely different world.

  • the native girls are BITCHES. i feel bad for the white girl

  • @ItsCalledKpop Dude, White girl is totally overreacting. Obviously it's going to be funny watching a white woman paint herself black xD i wud laugh my ass off.

  • wait, was she expecting to get a lollipop or sth... bitch these tribes killed lions to stay alive, no mercy and emotions

  • It amazes me how Black women walk around half-naked in AfRAkan societies and not have to worry about sexual abuse or rape. Contrast that to so-called socially advanced 'clothed' societies where sex crimes hit the roof. What's the difference? THINKING!!! NO corruption or crime. Impressive. The Himba social system is misunderstood by outsiders. I hope the Caucasians do NOT interfere with the Himba family dynamics. May the ancestors protect them from encroachment and exploitation.

  • @GingerBronze ...they also don't find breasts erotic in their culture like we do here, which is a big part of it.

  • @schowc - There is NO doubt the Himba THINK differently. I applaud them for not having a sexualized culture. It is commendable and a testament of their intelligence that pornography and prostitution are non-existent in their societies.

  • @GingerBronze I don't think its a matter of using your brain; but more of better use of sexual energy. The men there get women earlier and also stick to 1 partner as far as I know, where here adultery is propagated trough porn, sexy women in advertisement and in man-culture were 'conquering' alot of women is a positive thing.

    We also know that most of these things are wrong and will lead to crime; but still many people do it because they don't handle their desires well

  • @ElmerAwesome - It's a matter of MIND---not brain. They are separate elements. The first is abstract; the latter is physical and linked to sensory impulses (i.e. touch, taste, smell, sound, sight and thought). MIND is spirit. Spirit is energy. It is a UNIFIED mind that links the Himba together as a community. VERY few outsiders understand AfRAkans' sense of COMMUNITY.

  • @ElmerAwesome - A community is a place of self-definition. It is where individuals draw strength needed to effect changes within themselves. A true community does not need a police force. A true community begins in the hearts of the people involved. Some characteristics of community include unity of spirit, trust, openness, love and caring, respect for Elders, respect for nature and respect for Ancestors. It is because of COMMUNITY that AfRAkan societies had NO crime!

  • @GingerBronze In tribal communities there is also crime, perhaps less but still crime; because man everywhere has evil, self-centrered desires; also in the 'afrakans' you mention. That they form a small, bonded community with little degradation from the outside they however are better protected. Yet their bond doesn't make them holy and bushmen also commit atrocities sometimes.

  • Baha she really thought she would be welcome into their tribe.

  • 0:11 Lol, she made an effort on THEIR behalf to fit in? So she did it to benefit them? Right.

  • She is truly condescending.

  • THIS IS HILARIOUS!

  • Crazy leftist bitch.

  • White people blackface is not funny accept for this video. Its not fitting in to put that shit on your face we are laughing at you not with you. That is all.

  • That white woman needs to grow some fucking balls. The natives are having fun! Have fun with them bitch. Dont be a sassy ass bitch.

  • Keep ur ass off my ancestors land

  • @Bsmurfdizzle as long as you keep your ass of my ancestors land!

  • @tartandaddy I must say thats is a good one...

  • "maybe she's missing her children" i guess the humor of getting made fun of isn't that serious in there culture, which it shouldn't be. people take words too literally

  • @Iterif1 You love these tribe videos don't you?

  • @77yg6tf yes and it appears you do too

  • shes tooo sensative .

  • @CrociatoAzzurro I know most of the cool white people I know have no problem being themselves no matter where they go...... like canadians

  • They prolly like "she think she black" lol !!!

  • White people always be copying blacks!

  • It's like putting one of these tribal women in Wall St and expect for us not to DIE LAUGHING..

    This WHITE BITCH is STUPID.

  • holy shite that bitch is retarded.

  • Yes, she looks ridiculous...I'm glad she went because that culture is beautiful.

  • white turns black .... hahahaha

  • lmfaoooo..

  • If you're black, don't desperately try to be white. If you're white, don't desperately try to be black. Most black people don't like Uncle Toms, and most white people don't like wiggers. Just be yourself!

  • @eier her whole purpose there was to experience a different culture, not magically turn into a himba woman. she should of just laughed with them. they were just having fun

  • That was funny to me...

  • I'd punch them all in the face if they were laughing at me like that. She tried her best to fit in and she fits in better like that than she did before, so I hardly think thats something to laugh about. Wow shes a strong person cuz if that was me i would seriously hit them all and go home.

  • @EmmaJade2k10 lol she isn’t strong she gave up in less than a day. I’m shore after a couple days the amusement would were off and she would be accepted. lol if she was serious enough they would find a man for her to marry. but keep in mind they are fully aware that she is an outsider looking in not an outsider intending to assimilate to the himba way of life

  • @donutcake123 lol wanker

  • She needs to get over herself. Her being there is a bit of a novelty to them. They probably dont get much chance to bring someone into their culture like that. It's just a bit of fun.

  • she needs to learn how to laugh at herself instead of just sitting their acting like a victim lol...ugh so damn sensitive i hate girls like this smh

  • what an idiot!

  • White people need to learn not to be so sensitive! Jesus, everybody has to wakl on pins and needles for fear of offending them.

    And EVERYTHING offends these people!

  • Good Lord why does she take it so very seriously? It's a funny situation, why couldn't she have a sense of humour about it and had a laugh at herself rather than getting all huffy and hurt about something so trivial?

  • Laugh about it, get over it, then dress them up like white people. That's how a champ would do things.

  • WOW that was funny however don't white women Laugh at the sisters when they straighten their hair to mimic whites?

  • @DavidGallman ?? what type of comments that

  • lol no just ppl like you

  • ahahahahahaha nice africans ahahahahahah

  • i've seen this many times. i laugh like it's the first time every time lmao

  • They're laughing because no Himba wears a top.

  • omg she looks fucking ridiculous LOL.

    she needs to stop.

    anyways i cant wait until my locks are long again like the himba women

  • Awwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! Even though I usually get annoyed at white people who attempt to mimic our various cultures, I can't help feeling really sorry for her. Poor Yvonne!

  • BBC is so emotional with everything, fucking liberal pussies.

  • Idiot

  • hahahah, what a stupid bitch, what was she thinking

    if i were her, i would laugh at myself at the end

  • She just needs to own the awkwardness and laugh with them.

  • @LIVEMeltdown4ROCK

    I did not take it as racism.

  • The naivity of white women is astounding.

  • @CrociatoAzzurro

    I know what you mean, she is an embarrassment. She shouldn't be doing that job. She had the important job of bridging the gap between the two cultures to promote mutual understanding and instead she is getting laughed out of town. Shame on the BBC for selecting her.

  • @CrociatoAzzurro

    Hang on I thought you were talking about that woman in particular. If you are talking about white women in general then you're just an ignorant, racist prick.

  • @77yg6tf

    Believe me when I say this but white women take the cake when it comes to certain things. Behaviour like this is proof. No other race of woman would do such a thing.

    Look at all the white idiot women that go adopt black babies for the cool factor. Look at them going to Africa to dig a well. No other race/gender does this as much as white women.

  • @CrociatoAzzurro I know a white woman who is a doctor who spent 2 years living in Sudan to help women and children get better healthcare. Is she an idiot too?. But I am interested on your views of white women, what kind of white women are you talking about people like Madonna and lady gaga, american white women, Italian white women, Spanish, Greek, Polish? Are you talking about all white women?

  • @77yg6tf

    Yes, she is an idiot. She's nothing more than attention-seeker. In fact, I'll go one further. She probably likes the idea of her being the only white woman around for miles. She probably looks down on these people because she thinks she is better.

    LOL @ going to Sudan. Of all the bloody places to go to...

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I laughed so hard, what an idiot. HAHAHAHHAHA

  • I don't know whether to click dislike from disagreement or to click like from amusement.

  • What the fuck does this dumb bitch expect? Seriously?

    What , they're gonna accept some white chick who can't speak their language, knows nothing about their customs and is from an entirely different world? Really stupid idea.

  • What a joke, what a completely ridiculous plot for a TV show for her to attempt to fit into their perception of beauty and normalcy... especially in the brief time table alotted. Poor, soft, pathetic, insecure girl... lie back and think of England.

  • She did look ridiculous though. I don't blame them for laughing.

  • what a way to show how weak she is

  • the white person is an idiot

  • well at least the women in Africa aren't over sensitive like western women.

  • Never seen such self-serving tripe in all my life. This 'researcher' or whatever she is or claims to be, will surely never work for the BBC again. Take a look at Ray Mears by comparison. Not a researcher as such, but someone who seeks to showcase the traditions of cultures all over the world by honouring them. Having a solid grasp of them as well. This person shows up, gets darkened up, and expects these people to take her seriously? Who does she think she is? Utter stupidity.

  • @MTSCMIH  exactly!

  • What the hell was this Tree Hugger thinnking?

  • Wtf do u think the tribe is gonna do if u attempt to dress as them....

  • You can tell the REAL women in this clip (the African tribeswomen) have no way to identify with the namby-pamby "educated" lib who was raised in a sterilized culture and gleaned her only life experience in the sheltered farce of western "civilization".

  • boobs

    

  • i think they all wear paint not just the white lady. stupid

  • i think they all were paint wasnt just the white lady trying to look black, you didnt see the all have a red tint.

  • Dumb self-important wench. "Wouldn't want one of the men to mistake me."

    They don't want you, get over yourself. If you want a black guy to fawn over you, take your arse back to Europe.

  • @whayes8084 damm.. so true!

  • She blacked up and expected to be taken seriously?!

  • If a black woman came over the my house and painted herself white and dyed her hair blonde.. i too would probably laugh.. she just did the opposite.

  • she is so ignorant...its kind and funny to share the laugh rather than showing her cold west blood..sheesh! but that is expected from people who know nothing about the wormth of a big family

  • She's such an ignorant, arrogant asshole, they obviously weren't laughing at her, they were laughing with her, they found it amusing that a foreigner would come and dress in their traditional garb, who wouldn't be? but then again I guess they were supposed to worship her or something, dumb piece of shit.

  • @LIVEMeltdown4ROCK your so ignorant.

  • avatar comes to life or to destroy life?

  • wait.. so shes white? and painted brown?

  • @atkinson661 yeah

  • the tribe should circumcise her...hahhaa.. stupid bitch

  • @JewcyButtocks lmao

  • what a whiner... maybe her ego was bruised... you just have to take it in stride and have fun with it... one life to live people!!

  • what an ignorant person!

  • LOL MUD.

  • lol she is stupid

  • if i saw a woman all covered in brown paint in my house i think i would be laughing too

  • this woman is kinda stupid

  • oh please. just try going to a completely different part of the world where you don't know anyone and see how happy it makes you feel. all these comments show how ingrained meanness is in some human beings

  • let's take one of this girls, paint her white and dress her with a dress. of course it'd be funny too.

  • They are a tribe, it is of course funny and odd to see someone outside of your culture try to fit in, let alone with such a comical appearance of face paint and hairstyle slapped on. If yvonne felt offended by their excessive laughing, she should try talking to them... she needs to understand that that might be the way they react to something foreign and new, much as they need to understand that yvonne does not feel good about their laughing.

  • I mean, you didn't have to wear the paint. To wear traditional clothing is good, but mimicking the skin colour? Not really necessary.

  • @animegirl113 - the women are famous for covering themselves with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge.

  • @RustyRazor2010

    Okay, that makes more sense. In that case, good for her in trying to fit in, but hey, if you look silly, people laugh. Just laugh with 'em!

  • Yvonne obviously was not mentally strong or culturally aware enough to take this challenge on. Her reactions and judgments are based on her own European lifestyle.

  • Why do white people always think that they can appropriate someone's culture and be accepted? White people watch way too many Dances With Wolves, Avatar, and Samurai movies to think otherwise. White folks seem to lack the ability to maintain a respectful distance to anything that they're ignorant towards. This white chick got what she deserved.

  • @Soultion5050 Its that aggrandized since of self-worth 99.5% of them have.

    Its a sad situation indeed. I think its pretty funny too. I don't what the hell she thought was going to happen.

  • @Soultion5050

    White, white, white, white, white. Is that all you have to say? Your comment was rather insulting towards me, especially as I respect other peoples beliefs. And I hate Avatar.

  • @Soultion5050 youre a racist peice of shit

  • @Soultion5050 THe guy on this series does a great job though!

  • @Soultion5050 Thats not racist at all...

    Being racist to white people is just as bad as the other way round! God, you speak as if we shouldn't explore other cultures, and we shouldn't learn new things. You and the 13 people who thumbed up your comment, even after 8 months, is what is wrong with this species!

  • @Soultion5050 She went through great lengths to look like those roody poos which no one in the world gives two turtle shits about. She has my respect, since she goes through all that shit to feel how it is to be a roody poo. Laughed at, feels dumb as shit, and worthless. Successful documentarist is successful.

  • @Focaloren i care more about them then every single person in the united states.; you aren't the world. speak for your self. take

  • @Soultion5050 Some. Lol. We are not all like that.

  • @Soultion5050 Yea she got what she deserves but whats so wrong wtih trying to experence someone elses culture?

  • Really? What? Did she expect to be accepted to impersonate someone else's culture with open arms? Like really?

  • i'd crack up laughing too if i saw a green-eyed girl walking around covered up in mud!

    this shows u how bad it feels when a foreigner (of any country) is not accepted by or can't blend with the natives.

    so takes this as a lesson... and remember all of those african/asian emigrants that cant blend in with the white culture and stick out like a sore thumb:)

  • @daneo101 liberals are smart.enought to know that when the monkeys and all the subhumans take over the world, they are not the ones who are going to get buttfucked all day and all night. change is the only constant in the universe.

  • @daneo101 What you said was pretty ignornat, I'm sure you know that. But how to you "deport the monkeys" when it is the liberal who is in their country already -__- 

  • @daneo101 (uh oh.... another cracker troll rears their head. LOL)

  • She is a SAD woman.

  • lol i love their hair what lovely color

  • she belongs in the kitchen

  • Howls of laughter - LOLOLOL - you get the same in the hood you

    dumb bunny and WHAT do you expect - did you expect to look better!

    did you expect to FEEL like one of them - your not going to fit in there

    any better than they would on your street yvonne - HA WHAT A MAROON!

    and you know dang well you wanted one of them african studs to mistake you

    in the dark- LOLOL

  • this she be titled DISCRIMINATION 101

  • lol these ladies are funny

  • why are you there its there tribe. you dont even know there society, humour or tribal laws im sorry but your not the victim

  • I think she was only supposed to put the brown paint on her hair not her skin.....

  • Yes, the malignant Westerners invaded and despised the entire world by the power of firearms; killed zillions of lives, performed the most horrific crimes against humanity in History, for ~500 years they love Africans to nurture their entertainment and mockery…The holders of apartheid, racism, discrimination, xenophobia, hatred…Immoral people, do you have feelings? Are you really worried about Africa? It doesn’t seem.

  • @alaloka You rock! :)

  • Malignant Westerners laughed for ~500 years at the face of African people...Now that some African women are naively enjoying an unusual situation...That hurts...Come on!

  • @alaloka westerners also starred in aww at the civilizations of nubia,kush, and original kemit(Egypt)

  • get over it woman.. *roll eyes* it WAS funny lol

  • Dear BBC; I am trying to understand other cultures, all you give us is how this woman reacts to them. Can you get your shit together? What a shower you have become.

  • Oh get over it. It was pretty funny. i would've dressed up for sure and laughed along with them. Some people need to learn to laugh at themselves. 

  • well she did go blackface...

  • heeyyyyy don't despair. i'd laugh too if I saw something that funny. <3

  • Lol get over yourself.

  • I think this reflects rather well how insecure is her cultural package.

  • seriously get over it, enjoy the experience that most never have. Looks like here University will not get full detailed research from participant observation. Or is she a journalist just looking for a story. probably the later judged upon her disposition.

  • oh get over it white girl

  • It is common in Africa to laugh when ever you find things funny. Or even if your just feeling good about something.

    If she wants to be like them, it might have been a better starting to learn the language and to understand the common behaveor of the people she is trying to addapt to. This is a poor attempt to impersonate a people just by dressing out (the dressing and the paint was very succesful though).

  • im a researcher myself howww the heeck did she get an ethical approval to to do this! Yah they should laugh why would u be something ur not.. besides laughter is good. Her getting upset about them laughing I find very insulting.. She looked strange did she think she would pass. why do pple feel they can use their priviledge to ge them thru everything... so irritating.

  • @KIMM777 Can you show me some of your work? Love this stuff.

  • @Nyamhawa ur kind of contradicting yourself..

  • HAHAHAHA! omg... what did she expect? i think its funny too. sheesh she needs to lighten up a bit, she ain't gunna fit in no matter what.

  • thats what i call wigga

  • I hate to say it but it is ridiculous that she feels she has to turn black to fit in. She is white & should just be herself, not turn into another person. She`s not being true to herself by trying to turn into them & they see that, but I think she`s too young & naive to get it so she got her feelings hurt unfortunately. But the women could have been a little nicer seeing her effort to try & fit in.

  • shes so sensitive, everybody is laughing and having a good time but she wants to go cry in the corner...does she not understand that she looks silly and the people of that tribe aren't used to seeing that..sheeshh she needs to get a sense on humor and toughen up!!

  • this is a horrible westernized invasion and act of disrespect

  • ahaha that bitch ugly!!

  • wimp.

  • womens howls of laughter......

  • If she had taken her top off then the women would be crying and the men would have a boner.

  • OH BOO HOO you bitch, get over yourself, you are a fucking fool dressing up in blackface,what reaction did you expect? Didnt your mama ever tell you, have no expectations and you will not be constantly disappointed, JEEZ debbie downer, yall know what Im saying?!?!

  • Comment removed

  • If an African went to Europe and painted themselves white how would everyone react?

    They'd laugh their asses off! With good reason!

    I mean, stop trying to fit in with them over looks. Try to connect emotionally.

  • isn't it nice to make someone happy?

  • ummmmm.... shes white blue eyes ... goes to an african tribe and expects them to gush at her.... be accepted by the,..... just shows how gullible she is.... and ignorant.... sad really

  • @tranqillo

    LMAO exactly
