You can’t be racist to a group because they have a certain skin color is literally the most racist mindset to have.

You can be racist towards any race, to clame that one race can't experience racism is racist within itself

As a Kenyan/African, I have definitely met black Africans who are racist towards white people. And the reason I emphasise on 'black Africans' is because you can be white and African, or South Asian and African. Racism goes both ways and it is abhorent no matter who is doing it.

You gotta love hearing stuff like “you can’t be racist to white people.” Discrimination based off skin color is racism. It doesn’t matter who it is. If it is ok to have black only spaces why is it wrong to have white only spaces? I’m so sick of the double standards. To be clear I think it’s bad going either way.

As a european watching, I'm amazed how Black African-American manages to segregate themselves with "culture, Safespaces prejudice and this victim mentality" Amazes me really, how racism is onesided. When the definition is discriminating on peoples race.. Ironic really...

I noticed a huge difference in the black wonens response than the black men’s responses in these interviews

I love how they embrace segregation when it benefits them.

The fact that the faculty put black with black and white with white in the dorms is CRAZY!

strange that she says you cant be racist to white people, right after explaining how she has been discriminated against for her skin tone. She SAID herself that she was getting looks from everybody in the school, now lets say a black person was going to an all white school and getting looks like that, everybody knows that that campus would be prejudiced. the amount of melanin in your skin doesn't change whether or not you are hateful.

Its wild the kinds of things black people can say that would be considered outrageously racist if said by a white person. "It was always white school or nothing because I grew up around blacks and I really wanted to be around people like me and I wanted to learn more about being white"

I never understood how "acting white" was an insult. Because whenever I ask people to describe it, it was acting proper and polite and speaking "proper english." Which to me seemed to be the goal of what you should aim to be in order to articulate your opinions with others and put forth a good first impression.

I like how they refer to her not saying the n word as "not slipping up". Almost as if they think it's some innate urge that we have to suppress. What a load of bs, lmao.

"HBCU is historically black, its not like it still has to be black, if they want to come here they can come it's not that big of a deal" I like that guy, that's a good quote

"You can't be racist to white people" will forever be funny to me

Tulane’s demographics are representative of the country, or pretty close to it. Calling it “predominantly white” is odd to me. It’s the nature of the country we live in.

I love the girl in the intro, saying how blacks can’t be racist to whites, not realizing that by saying that she’s actually being racist. The irony

Could u imagine if white people were saying these things 💀

I appreciate how the interviews are not clipped in a manner that makes people look like fools for their position. Its consistent, and the open-ended questions make higher quality discussion. This is cool, and I just subscribed 😊

As someone who goes to one of the top HBCUs in the country, i have two things: 1. i am not apposed to other races coming to our schools. I think people are scared of the history or the culture of the school being diminished. I believe that the generational trauma of our history being erased has a big part as to why a lot of students aren’t too keen on being open to other races. I do think that the people who say that white students or other races shouldn’t come to the university need to do research on HBCUs. Most HBCUs were founded by white people and are named after them. They were also not only for black students but Native Americans as well. 2. In my experience, my HBCU gave me the same, if not better resources or opportunities than PWIs. A big misconception of HBCUs is that we don’t offer quality education. Just hearing my sisters experiences about going to a PWIs, i feel very privileged to have gone to the school i am currently at. In conclusion, I think there was a lot of ignorance on PWI vs HBCU debate and i don’t think this video did enough research into why there are misconceptions about HBCU’s, why there are big disparities in the endowments of these schools, and just the history in general.

You can be racist to anybody no matter who you are

I saw "I act black" on the thumbnail and I'm like "it's skin color, you can't act it, it's not a personality" . I'm Nigerian, not only am I a weirdo amongst my fellow Nigerians, I'm aware that I'd not fit in with blacks if I moved (at least that's what's portrayed in the media). I mean, many people have seen that Jubilee episode of find the white person, but he won because he ticks every "black" stereotype. Imagine, not drinking purple drink but grape juice makes you white 😂😂😂 it's ridiculous

Did you know that black soldiers from the US that settled in Germany after WW2 had kids that grew up speaking German and acting German? Culture is not defined by skin color in the slightest.

As a black person, I felt so sad for that white girl at the hbcu. She just looks so uncomfortable and scared to say the wrong thing. She probably knows that her friend group would cancel her if she didn’t regurgitate their talking points.

Being black andGrowing up In a 70% black school was rough for me since I was constantly told I acted "white", cause I didn't like what they did and I got a long with anyone and everyone and talked and cated properly according to them and was hated for it and people thought I was acting the way I did to fit in when I was just being myself, I know it was wrong now that I'm older but that did cause me to start resting Other black people, but I'm over that now and don't care what people think,

One thing about the "You can't be racist towards white people because they're not a minority" argument that never made sense to me: If you live in a city that is mostly black, why do the demographics of the country matter? Local demographics are the deciding factor of who is a minority. With that same logic white people in the US could claim minority status because on a worldwide scale, they are the minority.

Not him starting with a shot of the fried chicken bro 💀

I kinda want to know the required GPA to attend the 2 universities. Think that would introduce more light into the picture. EDIT: From Xavier University website "Xavier does not have a minimum GPA or minimum test requirement for admission. The application review process takes on a holistic approach to review each applicant based on their application and supporting documents" EDIT2: From Tulane University website "Achieve a 31+ on the ACT or 1450 SAT Have a 3.60+ core GPA"

One of the guys said he wanted to go to this school because it's safe to talk about stuff and people won't blow up at him (I'm paraphrasing) -- but doesn't that just mean he wants to be free to say certain things without being challenged? I feel like a huge part of going to college is meeting diverse people, hearing new thoughts and ideas, and learning how to challenge yourself and think critically.

“I like THIS white friend” Bro imagine a white person saying “I like THIS black friend” 😭😭 Naw that’s a crazy statement EDIT: cuz people are misunderstanding me. I’m not saying “imagine” like it doesn’t happen; I’m saying imagine cuz it’s just a crazy statement to say in general both ways

I love that most of these young people are open to diversity/inclusion, it's the division that will keep racism going.

I’m a Black LA Native. I was born in the early 90’s. My Grandfather raised me. His grandmother was a slave. I was brought up on the teachings of Dr. King and President Mandela. It pains me to see my generation of black people become the same kind of racists those people had to fight against. As a Black American I feel bad for the casual racism white people deal with today. We all know what blacks went through but that doesn’t justify how we act.

She said that black girl didn't shower as much as she should. That had nothing to do with the rest of the interview but he made sure to include that in the video 🤔

An HBCU is definitely not a “black-only college” at all. And as someone who graduated from XULA, they probably are one of the most diverse HBCUs. There are plenty of white, Asian, and other non-black students that go there especially in the doctoral and professional programs.

W Video GEN as always I hope you're feeling better after your sickness ! Keep the videos coming my man !

She sounds brainwashed. Blink twice if you're in distress.

Please excuse the novel that I wrote here: I went to Xavier for my undergraduate work and pharmacy school. I grew up in North Dakota, and lived in Minneapolis until I was in my late twenties. I’m about as White as you can get, I even (still😂) have a really strong accent that is almost Canadian… think Sarah Palin. I did well in school, skipped two grades, so I graduated at 16 with a nearly perfect score on the ACT. My plan was to go to Tulane for the accelerated pre-med/medical school program, and I got a full scholarship for it. I was going to live with my grandfather, who lived in the area at the time, until I was a little bit older. I hadn’t even been to New Orleans yet at that point, it was the 1990s, and I admit that I was afraid to move thousands of miles away from my immediate family at 16. I quickly realized that I made a huge mistake, and I just got a really good-paying job in the Twin Cities. After about 12 years, I decided that I wanted to do more with my life, so I applied to Xavier, with the intention of becoming a pharmacist. Even though I was in my late twenties when I applied, my solid academic record earned me a full four-year academic scholarship. I was a grownup (they say) unlike when I graduated from high school, and more than ready to leave the frozen tundra behind. I admit that I was really nervous at the beginning. I was a decade older than my classmates when I started, and felt really conspicuous. I learned how to make friends - I was one of those friendless geeks in HS partly because I was shy, and also because my classmates were all at least two years older than me, so the fact that I even had friends was a huge deal for me. I honestly never felt more comfortable with life in general than I was at XULA, and I know that I made the right decision going there. There was an adjustment period, but it was fine. I was a teaching assistant in the chemistry department for several semesters, and the first day of class almost always had one of my students asking me what country I was from because of that “Sarah Palin accent®” and it was fun. Yes, it’s an HBCU. There *were* mostly Black students, but there were quite a few more White students than I expected, as well as a lot of Vietnamese and other Asian students, plus many Middle Eastern students. I’d never had the privilege of getting to know so many great people who had such diverse backgrounds, and I doubt that would have happened had I stayed up in Minneapolis to go to the University of Minnesota. People in New Orleans are much more welcoming than they are in Minneapolis, and I’ve never felt like I’m out of place down here. An additional unrelated thing that I got because I came to New Orleans was meeting my husband, so rather than moving back home after I graduated, I decided to make New Orleans my new home, and I never felt happier in general. I will never be able to sufficiently express my gratitude for the wonderful experience that I had at Xavier. It changed my life for the better in almost every way possible. I met people who have become lifelong friends, met my husband and his family, I have a great career with tons of opportunities, and I have a new home where it rarely even gets below freezing. I love it here, and it was XULA that brought me here.

This is fascinating content, it brings up a lot of conflicting feelings and thoughts which is awesome. Keep it up!

It's hard to come up with a comment with a video likes this, he literally explains everything

so crazy this happens, how can anyone learn to live with others if you hide from them.

We appreciate your dedication and hard work. You'll always have our support.

I’m white and went to and hbcu online because it was cheaper and easier. If it were inperson I’d never had attended for the obvious reasons

Great coverage, man. You ask the right questions.

Dude u incorporated your ad so well into your video I didn't even feel like skippin' it.

Seems very hard to truly become one with each other when some neglect the fact that how they are treated is based on an individual's decisions rather than a collective desire to "make you feel like you don't belong."

I identify as a Helicopter.. can’t wait to attend flight school.

Constantly impressed with this channel. This dude is a masterclass in how to talk about hot button issues intelligently and without just making people mad.

Amazing work as always! I really appreciate that you give both sides an equal platform to share their views, I really think that’s what today’s society needs. Respect and acceptance for both sides of the coin

I love your videos ! You're always so respectful and ask good questions that people don't normal think of. Thank you !

It's weird how much being around people that look like you and share the same culture is important to everyone. It should be accepted that everyone shares that same sentiment.

Another great video! Insightful

There are no "Black-Only" colleges. There are historically black colleges and universities...... there's a difference. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🙄🙄

As a white person in a Japanese University, I find this very interesting and insightful video. The question “could a white student fully grasp the challenges of being a minority” or “what is acting white” is super hard to answer, especially as a white person with added anxieties of being taken the wrong way on either side of the political spectrum. Of course another layer of nuance is added in my experience as I am fully in a different country, but I definitely think it’s very complicated navigating a space as any minority regardless of what the minority and majority groups are. I think the one thing I’ve noticed comparing my experience to minorities in America as well as other classmates (primarily Chinese or Taiwanese) is that no one experience is exactly identical even when they share common themes (issues with misapplied stereotypes, code switching, micro aggressions, direct and indirect biases, etc.), so it’s more productive not to frame the discussion as an black and white either/or debate but instead of a nuanced interrogation of underlying whys. Also openly sharing one another’s experiences and not downing or diminishing one side’s struggles is crucial. I am so thankful of the insight many of my black and Asian American friends have given me based on their own experiences that truly have taught me a lot about navigating through mental health struggles and a lot of the problems with being a racial minority that I have had to face in my time in Japan. Honestly it’s largely because of open and vulnerable dialogue about the problems and their own insight that I have managed to make it through and actually thrive in my studies.

Another fantastic GEN upload

SOLID vid dude. Glad to see your channel soaring

Respect bro, keep it up. Baby's mother is a german born white girl from Baltimore. Yes her manerisms reflect an urban culture, but I wouldnt say she is acting black.

Ain't no way he went to their apartment and they were frying chicken 💀

love the unbiased content. Keep it up!

it is a good day when i see a gen upload in my feed

Xavier U. = 51% graduation rate, Tulane = 86% graduation rate.

Another banger, best RU-vidr on the platform

These were great questions! Kudos!

Agreed fam, thanks for spreading the word

When I see Gen's video, I click faster than on some huge channels videos.

This needed to be at least an hour

Content has been 🔥🔥keep it up!

This is such a timely inquiry in the midst of the recent congressional hearing.

“You can act ghetto you can act prissy but you can’t act white” based

My main issue is: If the university/college is publicly funded, there shouldn't be any limitations except for gpa, portfolio or other things that mesure performance. If it doesn't receive funds from the government, so it's 100% privately funded, they should be able to do what they want. Having a taxpayer funded college that only allows people from a certain race, background or wtv, shouldn't be legal. Same for religious schools, they shouldn't be funded by the government at all. You want funding ? Follow the curriculum.

Excellent- Growing up I was part of a group called the NCCJ- National Conference of Christian and Jews. This group allowed me to establish a foundation of understanding and being open to EVERYONE-

HBCU is 13th grade - don’t fool yourself. Low graduation rates and high student debt is why they are all in financial trouble.

I have a European background (Polish) and i live on Australia. I don't feel like i belong. Everyone around my neighbourhood is Asian. I notice it when the ratio is 20:1. People act differently within cultures but they also act differently as a cultural group.

If you're the among the only few white people at your college that makes you the minority Is it really that much of a stretch to say you could experience racisme ? I know a guy who was the only white guy at his school in Cameroun, people have been racist against him ! We're all human, all the same and it goes for both the good and the bad

Like this new format gang

Another great one. Thanks

There should be a collaboration with Gen and Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5

The fact that this channel doesn’t have millions of subscribers says a lot. Incredible work as usual.

I found the perfect middle ground is to go to a diverse college and join a cultural club to find people with the same interests.

Great work bro. I love seeing your street interviews. Very interesting.

I find it Interesting how multiple black interviewees mentioned how they like being in groups with people that look like them (black). I can confidently say that i could never say something like that and not be called racist. It’s not about excluding people of a certain race, it’s just easy to feel comfortable with people you blend in with and have common life experiences with.

It's still so insane to see these things as someone from Europe and how obsessed with race America is

Bro idk how you come up with these video ideas but you’re a genius 🤯

GEN is him. keep up the good work.!!!!

Sociologists called this normal human behavior “in-group preference.”

Not even saying this for likes but it’s always a great day when GEN uploads

You did a great job with this one!

Great video again

Ah man, watching this makes me so happy i was born in eastern europe.

Bro no one in this comment section understands why HBCU’s exist and Gen literally explained it too.

Why doesn't GEN have a million subs yet??? Share this peeps.

I really like your videos; It's been a loong time since I have seen good journalistic reporting without serving a narrow agenda.

I really enjoy your content but this was a puff piece. No real questions were asked no real answers were given. Still, it’s a great topic and I applaud your efforts and what you do in general. I’m waiting for the time when we discuss culture instead of race. That’s the key to getting to root of our issues.

You wanna be around people who have the same or similar cultural values and beliefs around you. While there should places that cater to certain cultures and groups they shouldn’t be exclusionary. We live in a world now especially here in the states it’s damn near impossible to not be around different cultures and people

Gen will hit 1M subs in no time

We need to stop focusing on people skin color and stop this Division with in our country

Racism on display

It’s very beneficial to communicate and surround yourself with people who have diverse perspectives. Otherwise you will be doomed with ignorance and have a limited mindset. This video reassured me of that which is why I chose my PWI in the first place. Not to say that HBCU’s are inferior to PWI’s.

The literal DEFINITION of RACISM. So much for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights" Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

If they want federal funding they have to accept everyone

brroooo you gotta update that title fast wtf, HBCU's are not "Black only" colleges. The title itself is a contradiction and offensive to what HBCU's stand for. ANYONE is alowed to go there the only reason its an HBCU is because they were founded to help black people recieve a higher education. (A lot of these schools were created with the help of white people aswell) . This means that if the school had predominately white people now it would STILL be an HBCU. Its like saying harvard is an asian only school if majority asians go there. The HBCU tag is just there to remember the historical significance (like Ivy league)
