Just some information, "nationality" is an affiliation to a country or nation it is NOT a racial identity. For example, if these children were born in America, their nationality would be American, if they were born in Ghana for example, their nationality would be Ghanian, if they were born in Puerto Rico their nationality would be Puerto RIcan etc. etc.

Yes, I realize that. lol It's already been covered in the comments several times. This was kind of an impromptu thing and the word I was actually looking for was "ethnicity" but luckily, the use of either of those words doesn't affect the general point of the video :)

Also, these kids are just too young for the question "Do you think being biracial has made life harder for you?" (Harder compared to what? ... They're just kids. Their biggest concern is convincing adults to let them stay up late. )

Im so glad im not american, in europe this isnt even an issue, why do people in the states obsess over race so much... I had to stay in NY for like a week... I'm black/white/asian and omg RANDOM people were asking me questions as if im some kind of freak

[seabreezeful]

These are leading questions!!

I HATE WHEN BLACKS CALL THEMSELVES A NATIONALITY when we were in America hundreds of years...we are an ETHNIC AMERICAN GROUP. period---the kids are cute though-------they're too young to know this stuff, they're not in Junior High or High School yet when you have to form a clique

[astmapiippu]

Yeah nationality has nothing to do with race. For example I`m Finnish and European or "white". Allthough that "white" is little questionable, because Finns are historically partly asian people. Someone can be for example black and have Finnish nationality.

lol, how would these kids have known that their life is "harder"? Compared to white, black kids? Everyone has something bad in their life. I personally don't see why anyone would hate your kids.

I doubt they've witnessed racism and knew what it was. Not that they should have had to.

They're cute kids, btw.

The "do you think your life is harder" quest. is something you'd ask a 14 yr old maybe.

all of them of soooo cute

[getitg44]

they say that soon everyone will be mixed, if that's true then maybe one day you will be asking pure breeds these questions. 'what's it like to be black? what's it like to be white? lol on a serious note, i don't think that mixed people suffer any more than black or white people. it really depends on where you live and your environment. Whether you are black, white or mixed, everyone has a story they could tell about how their race has affected their life. you just have to love yourself

[getitg44]

i agree. i visit so many american websites and blogs and i really think that americans obsess over race and skin complexion way more than people in the uk. most mixed people live in london. london is so multi-cultural that is not so much of a big deal

In addition there are people of the same "nationality" in that they have an affiliation to a particular country but they are of different races.
