Are We Allies? Black Americans vs Asian Americans | Middle Ground 

Do Black Americans vs African Americans or Indigenous latinos vs white latinos.

Your videos are only making more people racist overall, focusing on race so much is not productive, its genuinely brainwashing your audience into believing its still the 1950s But if your agenda is to make more people racist and embrace tribalism, then you're doing a excellent job

*Can we have a B.A.'s vs BP across the Diaspora (More particular, those who came here & live in the USA)????*

South Asians do exist jubilee

Goodhumans honestly I have never heard of that but I like the name😭✋🏽

That is amazing, I wish we had more stories like yours in the media instead of one sided race baiting mess.

@@musicworldnow365 I know a lot of black dudes. schools, army and in civie. I remember all their names. the ones on the news are just... a bit misguided. They save my ass, I save theirs. same stuff.

Lol love this

You're sweet

Did you two make a Rush Hour Movie Film?

Same

@kranj doo ?? What does that have anything to do with her comment. The Asian man was getting emotion in the video because he acknowledges that asians are more privileged than black people and sees her pain.

A true empath

Same and I really don't like to cry 😢

More victim card coming their way

Blsck people don’t have anti Asian sentiments they literally support all of their businesses so they can stomp on black when they make it

Yeah,America loves to ignore the lopsided direction of interracial violence in these segments.

I agree but it’s only a 20 minute video.. it’s tough to delve into topics when it’s such a short video

what do you mean

@@nemonymous89 Violence is inherently American. There are lots of ignorant people and they all should be highlighted. If you want to see a more “balanced” segment then create a more balanced segment.

I’m trying to picture it and most comments would be “how do you feel when you’re the poster child of the asian continent”

South asians are racist af against east Asians and east asians heavily stereotype south asians. It would be interesting to see both the sides pointing fingers at each other.

And southeast asians

@@sawsawsuka k-ent and j-ent are quite popular all over the world. I'm an Indian, I'm myself quite into japanese and korean pop culture. But personally, I've come across a lot of narrow minded and vicious people who are quite racist towards East asians.. calling them c and r slurs, despite of being asians themselves. Some east asians still call Indians "curry munchers" and address us with that stereoypical mindset. It's been a high time now and asians (no matter what ethnicity) should all respect each others' cultures and beliefs.

Yes!!!

That's a needed discussion

Yesssssss from an African!

Facts fr

YES. This is not addressed enough.

Yes, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. First generation African vs Continental African vs African Americans.

No,you Filipinos are the most sweetest,kindest and hard working people out there🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cambodians is the black of asia lol

They helped build it most likely from the money gained from slavery

@@laurencameron3150the Asians were the people that built the railroad . They were indentured labourers and their conditions were horrible , they were just free in name but in every other aspect they were slaves .

Yeah the lighter asian hates the darker Asian and I'm southeast asian. It sad, because even asian are very segrated by color and class

@@MyStaryStaryNight Because in east Asia they find 'lighter skin' more beautiful, and dark skin ugly which is very sad.

@@tendou._7320 yup my family is like that they wanted me to get light skin.

@@MyStaryStaryNight STOP IT. i don't and I know a plenty who don't hate Southeast Asians. I'm Korean and it saddens me whenever I see southeast Asians saying stuff like that about East Asians. Have you ever been to East Asia? Ive been to SEA and have met various types of people. Had met both bad and good people but I don't generalize the whole SEAsian people as bad just cuz i almost got scammed, wrongly touched/groped, had people who constantly tried to sell me stuff. Ive made amazing local friends who welcomed me with their open arms, showed me around their country, invited me to their houses and showed generosity.

we west asians always get rejected lol

yeah, we are still even oppressed now

Yep another reason Asian American history needs to be taught in the US. We have entire generations of people not knowing that Asians have dealt with racism and oppression.

And the history of Chinese Americans, which is brutal and silent. As a half Asian half white person, I read about it for the first time (because our schools teach us nothing about AAPI history) and I cried.

bruhhhh heard of some thing like yellow peril etc.. but that was for chinese

@@RS-on3lp I’m Asian American and learned more Asian American history from FACEBOOK than all of my years in school from elementary school to the end of HS combined. University was better but there is always more room to improve though.

As a black American we need to fix ourselves individually so we can make the country we're living in a better country.

@@Rajasekaran19948I’m sure you do because it confirms your racist bias!

YES!

It's because they're ignorant and have never listened in history class.

Yes!

I think future Jubilee videos need to differentiate between East Asians and South Asians. These are two completely different experiences. It's like saying Latinos and White Americans have a comparable experience just because they're both from the Americas.

Exactly! Asia is huge but people always refer to those three countries when there are various ethnicities, all of them really unique.

that isn’t a ‘nation’ then. a ‘nation’ is a land representative of an ethnic demographic. you simply live in a country/economic zone.

@@meganaxeliar There are MANY non homogeneous countries/ nations.

@@bubullibooooo9928 Countries, yes. Nations, no. A ‘nation’ is the land of an ethnic peoples. Often American politicians and all like to appropriate the term ‘nation’ to falsely allude to their country being more unified and ‘bound to them by blood’.

There is no unity in diversity..

yeah but then the muslims start to burn churches and the javanese be all racist to chinese people, also every muslim in our country hate the jews. my catholic friend was discriminated by muslims, and i have a lot of friends from NTT in my major and other major/faculties in our campus do look down on them simply because they look different. we do have idealistic national motto but that doesnt mean we are clean from racism or bigotry.

They dont care about South Africa. They only care about creating racial division in America

Yes like the xenophobic mindset, alarming black on black crimes

i clicked on this video as a black girl who lives near a large community of south asians and is was a little surprised there wasn’t one.

@@rndmusrnm2763 The Middle East is part of the continent of Asia, so yes.

Im african so j can definitely clarify that african people do not in any way whatsoever agree with these black americans. Edit: just gonna add this in. Half of the people here saying "I'm africa and you do not speak for me" 1. Do you genuinely think I'm trying to make a broad statement. What do you think I was expecting people to actually leave a like on my comment, just randomly commented what I can almost guarantee is true and that's it. 2. You can't say "I live in africa" then also mention places like sudan. That's like calling your self an Asian just because you live in India (even though it's technically true). Also I'm hating the sass coming from you guys, it's the most passive aggressive crap I've seen in a while and its also cringe, like "omg gosshshshh you do not speak for me sister 👁️👄👁️"

Yesssss Am african and I REALLY wanna see this

@@GeronFletcher I was going to mention The Grapevine

​@@putent9623 you can't speak for all Africans. I'm a Black African and I agree with the Black American cast. Plus, how are you going to negate their experience?

How about african americans and africans period. It would be interesting to see arabs, amazighs, kurds brought into tge conversation as well.

I agree :)

Exactly!

Exactly! I don’t mind the idea of two minority groups discussing their issues. But when they were saying like “Asian people keep to themselves” - that’s a huge generalisation. Like it’s not based on whether they’re Asian or not to act like this??

Exactly, there’s no such thing as ‘they can fight their own battles’ when it comes to things like this. You don’t get a pass for generalizing others if you are a victim

And you’re the same kind of person to generalise whites

at least asians are not attacking elderly and raping and killing women like b-lacks. b-lacks are the one who are attacking us.

Same! That’d be something to seen

Native Americans vs White Conservatives or Evangelicals :P Edit: sry didn’t know “American Indian” wasn’t a thing

@@JosephYZWang Oh god. I can already see the answers to the, "Americans are living on stolen land," question.

That would be interesting. I am an Indigenous person, and my tribes had conflict with the African Americans in my area. It's because some of our people were forced to marry slaves, so some of the black people are sort of related to us. But they're not related enough that they fit the blood requirement.

@@baileyelisejasperson8260 also in some cases natives owned slaveszzzz

Don’t get me started on that!

yesss i really want to see that episodes 🇪🇷

Yesss, I need this

Definitely! There’s a lot to unpack there.

It’s so frustrating with my moms side from Jamaica and my dad from America.... yes we need this

His emotions are real. He starts of by saying that he wasn't privileged because of the color of his skin, only to follow it up (next sentence) by saying that people tell him he's eloquent and intelligent... i would argue that at least some of it is based on merit and education

@@remedytee I hear ya. Privilege is rarely so simple. For example Pretty privilege is based upon someone’s appearance being considered attractive by the greater society. Their beauty was bestowed upon them through DNA, good genes and a societal definition of beauty that is based on their proximity to a white standard. However, consistent exercise, good diet, hydration and consistent skin care regimen play a role in it as well. There are many factors at play, but the underlying fact is society defines attractiveness. Just like the United States created the Model Minority Myth which gave Asians the space to better their status after the 1965 Immigration Act. An Act that came about as a result of Black Americans fighting for Civil Rights. Asians also benefited from Affirmative Action, Small loans to Minorities, establishment of opportunity zones in inner city neighborhoods so Asians could open businesses and receive tax breaks, and a whole host of other programs that Blacks were denied but were put in place because Black Americans fought for them. It is unfortunate to see how many educated Asians don’t understand the history of their rise in the United States, and the important role that Black Americans played in their ascension.

@@whisper2284 You are right about beauty standards. I think all races are susceptible to this all over the world. Someone who is handsome will have different interactions (but prejudices too). Yes, we live in a Western society that has idealized beauty for thousands of years. E.g. Spartans, but in fact thoughout Greek and Roman culture. Not saying that all Westerns are attractive though. But apart from racial tendencies.. In the US people were sterilized up until the 60s (white people included) for not adhering to certain standards, so let's not take it personal 😅

@@whisper2284 About these beauty standards... it is kind of normal that those who resemble white people have a "better shot", it's still a society governed by the West. It has its flaws, but what do you suggest? To implement African institutions? Asian? About the rights evolution and the impact of African Americans... i have no knowledge about that. But I imagine the impact was substantial. Can't imagine Asians raising their voice (that's a joke, no pun intended... I'm from Asian descent myself) 😂

@@remedytee it is normal for the group that has the greatest power to define beauty in their own image. What is not okay about it is when that power broker hides the history of how the standard was conceived. There is no denying that the western powers’ advanced military methods, and weapons, warfare tactics and technological innovations have allowed them to amass great fortunes and power. That is an amazing fait accompli and their triumphs and success deserve acknowledgement. Yet, there is the problematic side of western powers that distorts history through omission and telling an incomplete story about the world.. Great Civilizations far older than Europe and America are rising again and will force a shift in all standards including beauty. China is becoming a massive Power broker, and India is developing at a fast pace. Investment in Africa is increasing considering Africa holds almost 60% of the world’s natural wealth in resources. The power balance will restructure and those peoples will want the world to know about their Dynasties and histories. Westerners will be forced to tell the truth about the past due to social media or get left behind. The standard will change via globalization. We already see China’s impact on Africa, the Caribbean and Central America. China’s model is NOT colonization. It is INVESTMENT in Infrastructure and Business. The locals can see the immediate benefits when the Chinese arrive unlike the Europeans and Americans who come there to extract resources, cause civil unrest and leave those countries poor and in debt to them.

I would be in awe to see that

And I would have been the blasian

No that would complicate things

Yes!! I was thinking that too!

Yes

Asians are much more racist than whites. the Chinese, Japanese and Hindus pff very racist.

@@agustin2812 Blacks are more racist than everyone most anti-Asian hate crimes are committed by Black people

Yup the asians own nice stuff, and the blacks own the asians stuff after they rob them.

@@pinheadlarry4538if black people were truly the most racist would they have fought for civil rights and immigration reform? Which paved the way for every non black person in America to even come? NO! The only thanks black people got was a spit in there face

White people will be scared when all minorities band together to suppress racial discrimination and white supremacy.

They just being funny not racist cause they were the first great people of earth. These ones should go and ask there eldest people in their communities how they first made relationships with black people before caucasions.

Most Asians dislike black people. And if I narrow it down then it will be African Americans. Now some of us know the difference between a black person and a megro. Unfortunately the African American diaspora is probably 30% black and 70% megro.

Get serious, these two “communities” or not talking or getting together this is simply a RU-vid production. These two groups are as opposite as any two groups in the world, how can you find common ground?

It's about them being allies not about their culture

Fully agree. This whole conversation looks more like a game of "you oppressed me, you oppressed me too" instead of "WE'VE been oppressed as people of colour" and talking more about similar struggles and celebrations.

I agree but I also think any discussion of racial tension is productive as it's so lacking in our culture and in the world overall.

YESSS I completely agree I feel like with a lot of poc it’s a competition for them, like who was more oppressed and that is not the case that shouldn’t be the case and I feel like because of that it can create some animosity between two ethnic groups when it shouldn’t.

I somewhat agree. There’s a type of “Oppression Olympics”. Given the format of the show it was bound to result in the conversation. I think the ending was a lot better.

That is all over the internet especially on RU-vid.

@@AngelicTroubleMaker-LaVooDoo but not with the same layout

Definitely would be interesting

Now this da one!!!

Really. Try being a white American, they are bullied and jumped by non whites, in school, malls, any where. Bring raised from birth to hate a certain race is not promoting humanity

This is an American thing. In the UK, “Asians” refer to South Asians from India, Pakistan, etc.

@@dr.woozie7500 yeah that’s completely true, i was speaking from an american stance anyways😅

@@dr.woozie7500 ikr I’m an English-Indian person and when people over here say Asian they mean people from all of Asia, not a specific area

Yeah I’ve seen that in the U.S, Asians are considered to be East Asians, whereas in the U.K Asians are considered to be south East Asians . I think it’s to do with the population of South east and East Asians in the country

@@ishwaaq191 Don't people in the UK think of South Asians first when they hear the term "Asian"? East Asian - China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan South East Asian - Indochina, Indonesia, Phillipines South Asian - Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc.

Asian vs Japanese would be good too bring some of grandmas too would be must watch

@@malachy2515 We do, yeah. They're right in it likely being due to differing demographics, though. With that said, the US seems to do their demographics really weirdly and seems to just group Asians in together with no further breakdown, so I can't say for certain.

You mean brown and yellow?

Yes I wish more biracial people (blk/white mixture) could be this honest. Instead they project their emotions of not having “daddy” around and being raised by white women as a way of not feeling accepted by blk people yet in the same sentence claim they feel more accepted by blk people. most admit they were raised in predominantly white communities where they were treated and looked different than their peers and white family members. So why not express those same sentiments of not feeling accepted by the culture you are raised in. Instead they try to push acceptance onto blk people specifically blk women because they know there is a color hierarchy in the blk community…..

@@So-what692 I'm actually biracial and I agree 100%. My community has some major issues with anti blackness and colonizer mindsets. I'm embarrassed how we've been all over TikTok. I've seen white people more educated about white supremacy than some biracial people are and it's embarrassing. I use to be uneducated but I was younger. There's no excuse for someone past a certain age acting like that. I was adopted and raised by a white conservative family in the South. If I can educate myself out of that type of thinking that I was raised with, anyone can.

I believe she was used by the one family she mentioned in particular but I wouldn’t generalize and say she was used by “white people” as sort of collective.

Just a way for her to not take responsibility for her own actions. Blame whitey for manipulating you. Big bad whitey.

Not really. Stereotypes aren’t always bad. It’s a defense for our minds. I’ve take. Sociology and it’s actually not entirely bad.

@@drunkenlilTIFFY1990 “Good” stereotypes have always harmed us.

I feel like a lot of these comments are negative and just talking abt how one side was afraid to speak up blah blah blah but in reality the questions they asked were terrible they were basically asking like “who’s more oppressed” and when you ask stuff like that it’s only going to cause more division i think they should’ve asked more question and more things more so on the understanding side bcuz right now all i see in the comments are black and asians trying to state how the “other side” vise versa didn’t mention there problems enough and that’s where division gets created😐

That's messed up, I remember reading a post on reddit from an asian guy with adhd. He talked about how his parents and other people expected him to do well in school just because he's asian eventhough his adhd makes it difficult. I have it as well so I can relate to him on that level.

This is so true the amount of scrutiny south east Asians go through for just existing is so gross. No one deserves to be descriminated against

And I'm sorry you have to go through what you go through when people think about asian they always think china, Korea, and Japan but never recognize countries like laos, Cambodia, and the Philippines

What do you mean by diversity? Typically boba liberal here.

No they don't

Where are you from tho? Cuz at least in my country the majority of young people is till very ignorant and even unaware of the fact that they are being racist smh. I think we shouldn’t suggest that racists are generally older people even though some of them indeed are not quite used to or willing to accept different people and idea, I have actually met some old people that are very open-minded and acceptive. But I agree that the lack of diversity does have huge impact on the ignorance and racist behaviors of many Asians.

Tbh my parents and a lot of the people I know come from china and are first gen immigrants, but they are learning to be more acceptable. They're not perfect, but everyone has their flaws, but they're still learning and trying to become more accepting, despite having grown up in a less diverse environment.

yeah its usually south-east/east asian, when they refer to asian. But i think the reason behind it is that south asians and east/southeast asia are just so different. But yeah they should've just specified in the title as east/south-east asian.

@Melaucity yeah, its cos indians, Pakistanis etc make up the bulk of our Asian population I guess. In Australia they use the term like in the US because they have so many more Chinese/ Malaysians/Philippino Asians.

Colorism is rooted both in white supremacist hierarchies established through colonialism by Europeans, but also classism to some degree.

@Caleb DeCoteau Why do you feel that way?

@Caleb DeCoteau okay but what does this have to do with Tony being a disappointment?

@Caleb DeCoteau Well are you going to explain? I’m genuinely curious.

@Caleb DeCoteau I have come across quite a few of your responses in this comment section. You seem to harbor a lot of resentment towards African Americans, I would really like to discuss why that is if you don't mind.

@Caleb DeCoteau I googled and there were three main articles from 1997, 2010 and 2020. The 2010 article detailed the strenuous relationship between the African American community and the Asian community as the latter felt they were the target of to roberries from members of the former community. The police didn't feel it was racially motivated which frustrated the shop owners who felt their plight was falling on deaf ears. They also noted that due to the language barrier most shop owners weren't reporting the issues which only further exacerbated the issues. If this is the source of your resentment and frustration I completely understand. I just feel like if you color all black people with the same brush and refuse to interact with them you effectively hinder conversation about the issues. It's not all African Americans that are doing this, those that are, are clearly reprehensible and if you come into the conversation with your grievances and less insults you may very well find allyship in African Americans who would condemn the actions of those who are being prejudiced against your brethren. It is clear that African Americans can be prejudiced too and everyone should try to work together to be empathetic and understand each other. I am really keen to discuss your experiences, as I believe you may have been hurt by others and I would just like to extend an olive branch

The questions were kinda disappointing too

True

Hello everyone, It's Regina from the video. One thing I want to point out is this video's main discussion is why the black community and Asian community are allies or are not allies, thus framing many of the questions and possibly the cast . Another thing I want to point out is the video is edited!!!!! We had a longer richer conversation, with more questions and more answers. Some answers were for other questions, cut off, not included, etc. okay :) Please keep that in mind while you are watching this "conversation", it doesn't necessarily reflect the actual or full conversation had. Also, we were six people that stepped out of our comfort zone and put ourselves in a room full of cameras, and tried to have an unprepared open conversation. We as a cast are planning to come together to address some top questions but keep in mind, we entered that room with the purpose not to have a battle Royale, and for those that was looking for that tic for tac experience, please search within yourself of am I looking at a bigger problem that has caused a breakdown of social relationship or am I just looking to take my frustrations out, which can lead to further breakdown. I will say one last thing on behalf of this great group I was with, is we are all real people with our own full experiences that a 20 minute edited shared space video couldn't do justice to explain. Before calling anyone a poor representation of anything or projecting what you believe to be the beliefs of anyone in the video, keep that in mind. Hugs and kisses and thanks for watching the video.

@@ginama3162 Thank you for commenting, as it was also a concern of mine. I'm glad to hear there was a richer conversation but a little disappointed that we couldn't see that fully represented here. If it's true you guys might be coming back then I look forward to the next conversation you have and hopefully it will be edited a little bit better or perhaps be longer since it seems 20 minutes is not enough for the audience, as shown by most of the comments in the comment section

I totally agree! I live in one of the most racially segregated cities of my state, and if I actually pay attention to what others say, I can hear some African Americans make some really rude and discriminatory remarks towards their fellow Asian peers. However, the same goes from the Asians to the African Americans .

same here! i wish linh brought up her encounter with a black man to the group-it felt like that tension didn't really get relieved for her. all of the black participants admitted to coming with stereotypes about the asian community (being a passive monolith that only cares about themselves), but i feel like they didn't really touch on that enough. Eg. bad driver is definitely NOT the worst of it, and there are many negative aspects to "positive" stereotypes too. I hate how the model minority myth has intentionally segregated minorities in this competition of who's more "white" or who's more oppressed, and I felt like the prompts jubilee gave kinda perpetuated this competition. i wish this was way longer and unedited because this is a SUPER important convo to have. would've loved to see more questions about media portrayal, colorism, affirmative action, etc!

I was waiting for this to be brought up in the discussion but it wasn't! As an Asian growing up with predominantly black friends and spending a lot of time in black communities, I experienced a lot of prejudice but this reverse situation is rarely talked about.

Elaine Xiao omg yeah !! the white privilege thing bugged me too because its simply not true :/ its a bit like they were minimizing the discrimination that asian people face literally everyday

Ami im so sorry you had to go through that :( we have to do better

Seriously. This whole thing was just one big butt-kissing, groveling session. Our horrific experiences as minorities don't count. Please like us and accept us. Pffft bye.

literallly @paige

They weren't experiencing much racism as black ppl till the pandemic.

@@wiseguy240Winston Comments like this only reveal great ignorance about the struggles of groups outside your own. It costs nothing to be quiet 🤷🏽‍♀

I couldn't agree with you more

👏👏👏

true, I wanted to see both sides of perspective. Love this vid do, shows us minorities have to stick together

Yes, I agree Jubilee should have opened the discussion enough to talk about the oppressive history Asians have also suffered. However, the biggest issue they needed to address here was the legitimate privilege East Asians tend to have over the Black community. We, too, need to check our privilege to open the conversation. Maybe Jubilee will ask these necessary questions next time!

oh, boo hoo. keep crying...

Perhaps a different kind of episode. Right

I've been meeting some of the best single men ever, since I realized Asian men will often be single because of stereotypes against them. Most single men of other races I meet have other issues that keep them from dating longterm. So I've been meeting Asian men online, and haven't been disappointed. A lot of awesome Black women and Asian men are only single due to silly stereotypes.

As a black person, I also wish they talked about the pressure the “model minority” stereotype puts on Asian Americans. They should do a separate video on that and the other two.

those two are VITAL in understanding the asian struggle.. esp asian males..

"Model citizens" are we victims suddenly? No people! We earned that respect for working our asses off without a moment to question. People if you want to stop racism, then stop talking about it and put on some pants have some backbone.

Yeah...

I'm black and my best friend is like a pure genius in biology, because she want to be a Doctor and people come and say OH YOUR GOOD BECAUSE YOUR ASIAN, not because she has dream that she want to fulfill a dream

@@blackbullsquad6272 that's so rude of them. They should give your Asian friend a credit of hardwork.

@@vindric8330 I know is so annoying because her dream is to make people happy and save them. But for them is like your asian obviously you're going to be a doctor like WOW. This kids don't even know what they want to do but they have to mock somebody that has a plan.

As a black person i have explained this to my community a lot that a "good" stereotype is still harmful.

yes, thank you! i’m an asian american too and although it might feel nice once or twice to be considered smart, it’s also a VERY high expectation that we are held too CONSTANTLY. And the second i don’t understand something or my grades aren’t perfect, i feel like a failure for not keeping up with those stereotypes.

I agree. The “good” stereotypes are also harmful. Many Asians have their merits undermined because of their race. People assume an Asian is smart because of race, rather than the person’s discipline, hard work and determination meanwhile they just happen to be asian.

i Totally get what you are saying!!!! But I think they mean that they rather be stereotyped as “smart” rather than being a “thug” because you can potentially lose your life for being stereotyped as that i.e police brutality, racial profiling

What you’re saying is 100% valid but I think they meant “good” in the sense that Asians are stereotyped more positively than black Americans. So for example, black Americans are stereotyped as lazy, loud, ghetto, etc. While Asians are usually stereotyped as smart, hard working, etc. It doesn’t mean the stereotypes hurt any less or that Asians don’t feel the same way as black people do when they are stereotyped. They are just as hurtful. But, I think the point is, regardless of the stereotypes both ethnicities face, Asians are generally viewed more positively in white america than black people are (hence the model minority idea). Again, this does not discount their experiences or diminishes the amount of oppression and racism Asians have experienced for centuries.

@@beatrixkiddos6672 exactly

They have no similarities what so ever not even a single similarity

Yeah but black people are SOOO oppressed right?

@@determined919 What purpose does your comment serve?

@@e.e9596 exactly. unnecessary as hell.

Gotta love that affirmative action amirite???😆

@@determined919 what is ths white dude doing here this isnt even about you dummy

Same here and I'm Latino. Always too white when I'm around brown folk, and always too brown when i'm around white folk.

Exactly 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽

Sounds like y'all need to stop hanging around racist people

So what?

Same as a black person

Nah,I like the video. Go watch another video if it doesn't fit your interest but to me this is fine

I honestly wished they included the issues that they have to go through and not just compare to the other race to see who had it much worse. It would’ve been more interesting and relatable as well

@@chocolate_mousse5684 yeah except they won't because it's race baiting and this is what the liberal agenda is. They want to create chaos so we're all against each other. This is most media today and everyone believes it

Well I heard they went in more detail but much if the video got cut due to time constraints.

@@brianna094 exactlyy why u believe the clown who most likely is a racist and sits on the internet all day,do better.

@@kategibson4481 well am sorry that happened to you from a history standpoint the only reason why I think black people had a problem with Asian people is because of immigrant their was in an influx of Asian immigrants in the 50s-70s and when they got here their was a thing we’re you could only get here if you were valuable like a doctor or something you had to have skills so when they got here they stuck to their own and acted better also restaurant their were a lot of Asian food places opening and a lot of them didn’t welcome black people

@@dayvonnaking177 you're making this up for likes

@@Dave_of_Mordor no am not I learned this from experience and history

@@Dave_of_Mordor if you just look it up their was a ban for Asians only doctors and lawyers and so called valued people could come that’s why south Asians have a bigger wealth then any other minoritie group in America

@@dayvonnaking177 right...

THIS

You can’t force people to date you. A lot of Black men hate Black women and we have no choice but to accept that.

@@witchplease9695 of course we cant force people to date us. But im not just talking about dating, im talking about other topics that i listed. Just to get a better understanding into why it is, and why projected towards others. Just more in depth

HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear rose

@@AxxLAfriku Sucks for you buddy

@@AxxLAfriku ?

@Caleb DeCoteau why are asians targeting black ppl worldwide?

ASIAN MASTER RACE OVER BLACKS

@@JupiterKnight no tf

Why, Hispanics and blacks are cool

@@jmrmtch1138 yes and no we have some stuff to work out

@@jmrmtch1138 as a 1st generation latinx/hispanic, we were mostly taught to judge people base on nationality, color of their skin then race bc we come in all shade of the rainbow. that being said, i remember growing up, we would speak spanish when were around people who doesnt look like us or sound like us. but then u have people from Haiti and DR and PR and central america who were also affected by the slave trade but no one doesn’t see or want to know that bc of the influence on american history and culture. Hispanic had the end of the stick during the civil rights movement bc no one talks about our culture and the influence that we did to help other minorities during that time period. Hell we have ignorant people in the community that doesn’t want to get out of that mindset of “i work my ass off here the ‘legal’ way so why cant u?” knowing why or go “dont hang out with them bc they’ll group us up”

I feel the same way! I’m half Chinese and Mexican. I speak Cantonese (conversationally fluent) with my mom and relatives but my dad only spoke to me in English so I definitely feel strongly Cantonese and not Mexican (unfortunately). There are also bad stereotypes on both sides of each other.

im also interested in asian and latinos. sort of the same rift like asian vs black but latinos are definitely more friendly towards asians. im guatemalan, i look latino but ppl still get that wrong lol BUT i do not speak spanish so I am separated from the culture a little. also ppl are always surprised when i tell them i've dated everyone from every race.

Hispanic Asian? Like a mix? Or an Asian that lived in Latin America?

overly protecting and virtual signaling for the blacks are currently trending

Idk i think it just depends whos talking. Not many Asians want to talk about it .i wasn't aware of asian oppression until a random Asian girl gave me this long talk about it one day then i relized its nothing something Asian want to talk about because once you join in on the oppression Olympics, then you will lose your token minority badge lol. But i realized in one conversation that blacks and Asians are not really so different and I've always had a loved for asian people

Fr. A bunch of people were just blatantly being rude to this Vietnamese kid in our class last year because of COVID and no one batted an eyelash and were even laughing and keeping the joke going.

Can we talk about how racism against asians is like so old school? Sure you can still find that sort of blatant 1950’s racism against black people somewhere but not in mainstream culture

Well why do you think it gets downplayed? I don't have hate for people but People should admit that there is a lot of hate for black people in their communities

Thank you, this needs to happen Natives get ignored

i would say forgotten minority is a off-white phrase for this. BLM doesn't say that other minorities aren't being killed it's just highlighting the cases and instances where African Americans have tried to highlight what they view as injustice.

Every race gets shot by the police why talk about natives when we haven’t even talked about the white people being shot.

@@hopelesslyoptimistic8231 White people mention White people getting shot, but its usually used negatively of course every race gets shot but people want to focus on what race gets killed the most But I want to focus on Natives because they are ignored or forgotten But lets also mention everybody else like you said

It's true but the native Americans own the casino industry where I'm from. And they have they're own areas can hunt and fish exclusively. It's just different

What does "Are we allies?" even mean? allies against what?

@@FriedrichBarb are we allies, rather than opposed to each other

Indeed

Agreed! Much love to everyone! The conversation definitely opened my eyes! ❤️

@@nendu4316 exactly

I'm Latino and I 100% agree. This conversation wasn't as dynamic as I thought. It seemed like it was a "safe place" to say that Asians are "racist, white loving, etc." There's been so much crap that has happened to the Asian community (moreso outside of US - the history of Asian countries is just as horrible as Latin America), but if we look at ONLY the US bubble then sure, I guess you can compare. BUT then that denies any oppression that happened to Asian communities too - presently even during Covid. This convo couldv'e been a lot more fair.

exactly

@@gaymer-j if you read the title it says Asian AMERICANS and black AMERICANS so anything outside of America is irrelevant in the video that is why

@@lordabz3161 Just as much as Black Americans talk about slavery that got them here, why can't Asians speak on the oppression they experienced that brought them here? Majority of Asians have parents that have experience outside of the US that brought them to US. It doesn't get excluded just because Black American can't relate

@@gaymer-j Right like there are asian countries who went through over 900 years of slavery and when an asian brought up how they were enslaved by africans people say "black people can't be racist" and want to try and outweigh 400 years of slavery with 900 years like it's not a competition just acknowledge that asians can be opressed like how they acknowledge us
