“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” This is a very old British proverb, meaning that words taken from the mouths of others shouldn’t have any effect on you and your mental state. Violence should be the only personal factor that should effect you. By getting offended by these petty and ignorant ideals and concepts (words), doesn’t it prove you are either weak-willed or easily moved. The world is changed by people’s actions and behaviour, and people tend to do this (in my experience) as a way to demean others and relieve themselves of their own inadequately. By paying heed and letting yourself be effected aren’t you just feuling them, thus increasing it’s frequently. Unlike yourselves, I have broken through this barrier, and this isn’t used as a subject of ridicule by my surroundings bullies anymore

naturallybronzed xo I think fetishization of mixed race people isn't common everywhere. In countries where being mixed is the norm like the hispanic carribean countries, PR, DR,Cuba... it isn't a thing. Cus people are soo mixed it seems stupid to fetishize.What you do get is colorism being lighter skinned and having light eyes

@LittleMissDeeDee

7 жыл бұрын

Yvonne Rodriguez I do think it is a thing in Hispanic countries only because mixed race people that have "blacker" features aka kinky hair, thicker lips, dark skin are usually treated differently to those who are more in between or have features leaning towards a more European standard. For example, the mixed race woman in the green jumper would get treated differently from the mixed race guy with dark skin and kinky hair.

@nikitita13

7 жыл бұрын

That's why I mentioned colorism. In PR, where I'm from there was a huge push to whiten the race. I myself am mixed but with kinky 4A hair. I don't get fetishized even though I'm lighter skinned or have more caucasian facial features. However fetishization here if it does happen is all about the hair. You can de dark as night as long is the hair is sitting right. That is the ultimate beauty standard by far. But I dont see white people ever saying i want mixed race kids. Black passing women don't neccesarily date white or white passing men for their genes. It is hard to explain or even conceive if you haven't grown up around it. I personally don't think of myself for example as being in interracial relationship even though my bf is white( for all I know his great grandma could be black idk). I dont think of our future children as mixed babies, just puertorican babies. My family has so many different shades that being mixed is just the norm.You dont think about being mixed or mixing consciously. Race issues here are different. But yeah colorism is a thing. You will still see people saying" pa negro yo" which basically means i'm already black and that is all the blackness I need in my life. Lol. It is messed up. Maybe we disagree on the fetishization part because here the people who are consciously dating outside their race are trying to lighten their blood line.

@AshleyLaGata

7 жыл бұрын

naturallybronzed xo the difference is in PR almost every is some percentage of black, that's why she said colorism. it's definitely a version of self hate where people don't want to have the black part of them or their future children be too visible. But people in PR know that their music, food, and culture are heavily influenced by the blackness in their bloodline. Most people are proud of their blackness unless its the visible traits like hair. And in PR a light skinned green eyed girl with straight hair dating a darker skinned brown eyed boy with thick hair isn't considered mixed race even tho to American or British eyes it would be.

How can I pick and choose just one thing? Usually, I just say I'm Latin American because in Latin America we are a mix of all of that, but it is really annoying when people say you have to pick and choose a side of the fence and when you don't they look at you like as if you have a problem or you are not accepting yourself. Well... I am accepting myself and that's why I am not choosing one side. That's not how nature works...

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” This is a very old British proverb, meaning that words taken from the mouths of others shouldn’t have any effect on you and your mental state. Violence should be the only personal factor that should effect you. By getting offended by these petty and ignorant ideals and concepts (words), doesn’t it prove you are either weak-willed or easily moved. The world is changed by people’s actions and behaviour, and people tend to do this (in my experience) as a way to demean others and relieve themselves of their own inadequately. By paying heed and letting yourself be effected aren’t you just feuling them, thus increasing it’s frequently. Unlike yourselves, I have broken through this barrier, and this isn’t used as a subject of ridicule by my surroundings bullies anymore

as a mother of mixed children I always tell my kids that its true the historically whites and blacks have been enemies but you are living proof the two races can come together in love.

Way back in middle school , I had one of my friends (who didn't know that I'm mixed race) say "I don't think people from different races should get married or mix their races together. It's just not right." I was like, "gurl, mom is white my dad is black. I am mixed race." Awkward for her lol. Later in high school I had a white boy at my art table talk to our group saying, "you know, I don't think opposites attract. I don't think I could ever be attracted to a black girl, no offense" (he says this while I'm sitting right across from him) i could only glare at him. I didn't say at the time cuz I was a scared freshman but buddy, honestly, just because you personally think so doesn't make it fact. My mom is white, my father is back. My sister is mixed and she's dating a white guy. My other sister is mixed and she married a mixed Mexican-white guy. They all love and are attracted to one another. We are all human. But come in all different shapes, sizes and colors and that's ok.

i think you are one of our undercover agents out there. They throw racist shit at you not knowing your background. I am playing undercover cop on the other skin tone spectrum. I have a black partner . to add t my comment earlier i was told by a few white men that they had never seen biracials as dark as my eldest son , ever. I never pretend to be white , never brought that up and i curved them on race issues. I straight up told them , they can't be biracial because I am half black meself lol!. They were hella confused ha ha ha.

Well who i´m considering my friend is just bases on the personality but when you are dating you want someone with a great personality AND is attraktiv(for you, in your eyes) and not every "race" is attraktiv for me, i dont choose that. you cant control your hormones when it comes to stuff like that. When your are an Asian Women who loves a Black man and he loves you back, thats great! If you are a White Man who loves a White Woman, thats great! dont judge either way..

When I was 9, I was at the store with my mom. Someone came up to me and asked “are you lost? Where’s your mom?” I was holding my mothers hand.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” This is a very old British proverb, meaning that words taken from the mouths of others shouldn’t have any effect on you and your mental state. Violence should be the only personal factor that should effect you. By getting offended by these petty and ignorant ideals and concepts (words), doesn’t it prove you are either weak-willed or easily moved. The world is changed by people’s actions and behaviour, and people tend to do this (in my experience) as a way to demean others and relieve themselves of their own inadequately. By paying heed and letting yourself be effected aren’t you just feuling them, thus increasing it’s frequently. Unlike yourselves, I have broken through this barrier, and this isn’t used as a subject of ridicule by my surroundings bullies anymore.

Great video. It clears up some misconceptions. I don't mind when people ask questions. I answer them. It's a lack of information. It makes me laugh.

I am mixed ,there’s one time me and my roommate got into an argument, and she literally told our friends: she can’t understand this because she’s white Yup, Still pissed off 6 months later😂

Growing up I encountered a lot of "What are you?", "Where are you from?" and "Are you adopted?" It didn't bother me too much. I get that its human to be curious like that. The stuff that irritated me a little more were things like "You don't look X", or "Why you don't act like X?", or even "You're not X, you're Y." Basically either being lumped in a box in which I don't belong, expected to adopt some stereotypical behaviour, or worse of all having part of my ancestry denied because it suits someone's agenda. I'm a half "white"/"black" mix and most of hostility I've faced are from people belonging or claiming to belong to either of those two groups. It's all silly, really. The notion of a "pure" race is fantasy anyway, although some really do seem to obsess over it. Just ignore the ignorant and carry on.

okay, I've fallen victim to asking "what are you?" and I'm sorry to those people. on a positive side, my biracial friend embraces these stereotypes as hilariousness

So true!!! I look nothing like my dad but I’m okay with it.

"I've always just felt like I'm me." Yes. This.

"Where's your father?" seems to offend them

I've got a white dad and a black mom, and my brother and i came out looking asian or latino, depending on who you ask. I've been approached by different people of different asian ethnicities and they all assumed i was one of their own. It's even funnier when i was actually living in south east asia because the locals will speak to me in their native tongue, and i always tell them that i don't speak their language, they would immediately switch to english and be like "Where's your sense of nationality? How come you can't speak your country's language???" and i would always blow them away by telling them that i'm not actually asian to begin with XD Plus it's ALWAYS weird when i'm out with my dad, sometimes strangers would give me dirty looks and think i'm my dad's hooker, or maybe i'm some sort of really young gold digger, and a few times some of his acquaintances assumed i was his second wife XD

usually, people of mixed race "prefer" to date the more dominant culture/race within their mix. Typically White. Unfortunately, that's how the minority culture/ethnicity gets erased within the person and their future lineage.

Awesome video and people!

People call me Mexican even after I tell them I'm not. Not terrible but generally just rude.

I remember being in my art class and everyone was messing around (we had a supply teacher that basically gave up with us because of awful behaviour) and me and a group of white people and a group of black people were all standing together. Then this one boy (he's black) told the black people to go on the left and the white on the right however, I'm half black and half white so I was made to stand in the very middle. Everyone thought it was a joke and funny but no one could or would understand how singled out I felt. It made me kind of feel alone because I was the only one there so they made me feel "different. The worst part is the people laughing and joking were my "friends."
