You two are onto a great discussion that needs to happen in a bigger forum and in a productive way. Communication often requires itemizing people, things, feelings, etc. in specific boxes. A “mode of transportation” doesn’t always cut it. Was it legs? A bike? A motorcycle, car, bus, plane? A 2-door car, 4-door, convertible, truck, suv, red, blue, extra cab, and so on. The tighter the box, the clearer the conversation becomes. Communicating about people is no different. So how do we refer to each other in a way that clearly communicates yet does not infuriate? The issue gets even more difficult when there is no real consensus. I have a cousin who has “brown pride” tattooed on his forearms. He clearly takes pride in our Hispanic background. Yet, if someone called him brown, he would be pissed. “Asian” really shouldn’t work, as it should include everyone from Asia right? Russia, India, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Tibet, etc. African American doesn’t really cut it, as there are probably a billion people of the same race who are not Americans. Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight champ boxer...is he African American? There needs to be an honest, open, and sincere dialogue about this...the keyword is “sincere”.

@@1titans As I explained before, referring to Asians as “yellow” began as a derogatory term. Asian people take offense to it’s usage. This has nothing to do with using the words black and white.

I've been calling people black and white this whole time, and I'm Asian so I suspect I can call myself yellow too, have I been wrong this whole time?

Well...for AGES people have been identified by the COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN...RED, YELLOW, BLACK and WHITE....strange how people didnt take offense to being called WHITE...HMMMMM?
I'm Asian decent and was corrected by my student's parent not to use African Americans and instead use blacks. She can't relate to being called African American. She said she's black and all of her experiences we based on being black. I'm just thinking that her use of white and yellow are based on how she sees herself as black. Just a thought, not defending her at all. It's a learning process for all. Hm.... and not all Asians are yellow, the more south you travel in Asia, the browner you get. My first experience with an African American student in elementary school in the US was confusion on who is black. I compared my skin to my African American classmate and we were about the same color and why was she called black. My own ignorance being being to the country. There's so much to learn about each other... Restraint, tolerance, acceptance, celebration, empowerment, equity and more must be embedded in all of our thoughts... and that will take a whole life of education.
@@pinkyminky5661 Every race can be racist even black people. Black people are just affected by racism more than any other race. I believe, and I believe other black people believe this too. which is why pointing out black people can be racist Doesn’t serve no value (purpose) to black people because all the years of racist acts being done to us is ingrained in every black person’s experience. I think that’s what most people are missing when talking to black people about something Or someone/group being racist. I’m not a professor or anything this is what I’m just interpreting.
Yellow was used as yellow + racial slurs, asians like never use this as something common or normal. The asnwer lies in in each group out there. African american r using black to describe themselves in MOST cases, their movement or self introduction etc, white poeple have been using it since it became normalized by minorities. Asians and hispanics or indians have never used colors to describe themselves. Its all about understanding how those communities work, not if its something similar. Normally i would not give a damn about this, but the fact that the very people white and black people r targetting every single person out there for assuming racism, i dont mind them tasting their own medicine in current society of cancel culture.
Times change. Forty years ago, using the term “yellow” to refer to people of East Asian ethnicity was not necessarily offensive or racist. Of course, it always depends on how that word is uttered, to whom, and in what context. In the sixties Muhammad Ali famously said about the Vietnam War, “white people sending black people to fight yellow people to protect the country they stole from the red people.” I don’t think Asians at the time were offended.
Racist? I guess being white, black or brown and being called out by our color is ok but saying yellow is racist. Then all color calling should be considered racist.

@@maxblaser4939 Maybe she honestly thought it was the same as saying white or black. Most people I've met have no idea some southeast asians don't want to be called yellow. By the way, I don't think the term Caucasian covers what you think. Iranians are 100% Caucasian even though they're 100% Asian. Russians are not Caucasian at all but most Russians are European. When people say Asian they usually aren't referring to Saudi Arabians or Georgians and I've never heard anyone refer to my Egyptian sister in law as African American. For things like blind dates, sometimes it's useful to have a descriptive word or two to pick someone out of a crowd.

Well not everyone is educated. Black is black. She probably grew up on Ebonics. NO, but all joking aside the effects of a broken home have affects on a human being well into their adulthood. The teacher might have been that product of a broken home as statistics show that most black people do come from broken homes.
Jokes or not... she has a PhD in Education, which means several years of college education. At least 4 years for a bachelors degree, 1-2 years for a masters degree, and then up to 5 years for some doctorates. I don’t know how many years is required for an education program. I’m Asian, grew up with Ebonics, attended a multi-racial (black, Latino, and Filipino primarily) high school in the ghetto/inner-city/whatever you want to call it, and now have Black friends with masters degrees in education working white collar jobs. Trust me, they may speak colloquially in person but they know how to speak proper English in a professional environment. That woman was writing on a forum with 150 other parent leaders in NYC. That wasn’t her hanging out with her homegirls. Btw, what does “broken home” have anything to do with calling Asian people “yellow”? I doubt Tiffany Haddish would ever catch herself making that mistake in a public or professional setting.
@@SL-lz9jr being book educated is not an indication that you are educated on experiences with race or ethnic groups. Coming from a broken home means everything and is a great indicator of one's likely hood of being successful and being a good overall human being in society. Secondly there are many definitions of a broken home. Conduct your own experiment even at your work observe those at work keep track of all those who are positive and those that aren't positive. Ask others what they think of this or that person and then find out whether that person was divorced or not.
The thing with subversive ‘concerned citizens’ like the guy who led the chant or the people that organized the protest; is that they are so detached from actual civil rights advocacy that they think these over-the-top displays of feigned insult are convincing enough to trick the general public. One of the greatest civil rights champion in America, John Brown, said the N word constantly. Even in an era where ‘African American’ was the norm he still used the offensive word. And yet later activists like MLK would praise him because it was his ACTIONS that mattered most, not vocabulary. But reactionaries and subversive elements don’t want that kind of nuance to exist, it makes their job easier. She said ‘yellow’ not knowing it was offensive, and then apologized. Scandalous.
I don’t use that term, but I didn’t know it was considered racist now. When I was a kid, I remember seeing “yellow” as an ethnicity option on some surveys.
They need to keep it going in New York ESPECIALLY now. The NY police should be working together with the activists since asians have become a target and people who incite hate towards asians to an ENTIRE country a.k.a the former president on trial should be held responsible for inciting that hate.

Yellow is a racist term used during WW1 era. It was called the yellow peril. Asians care about it because it was an active movement to hate on all asians from all white countries. We can be prejudice against blacks as you can be too against anyone. But she is an official that have powers granted to her by the state and cannot be racist or prejudice to a group.

To be fair, it's a dated term but not "racist". Context matters. They're just old ways of referring to races. Black men, white men, yellow men, red men. Etc. Outrage culture sucks
WHAT!!! So calling an Asian person "Yellow" is racist? Since when? I'm not offended when someone refers to me as "A White dude". WTF is this world coming to!! 😮 🤦🏻♂️
I feel like calling people by skin color is kinda ok. Black folkes, white folkes, yellow folkes, brown folkes, i think colors are neutral in meaning in itself. I'm an Asian myself and i don't think it's an insult. Certainly not an ideal term to be used in such discussion, and I'd probably think wait, she has a doctorate and says that? But i don't think that's a serious problem.
Yellow was a term meant to mean jaundice. It is bad because throughout history the term has been used to denote us as less than human/disease ridden. Its like how Oriental is bad to refer to an Asian person because Oriental is generally used to describe objects rather than people. I am not saying there is any malice when people do say these things but then I can call my black friends the N word and refer to all black people as the term. The fact is that the way in which she used it is also a problem as in the context of what she had posted it dehumanized Asian people. It doesn't really matter if a random person says it but an educator, police, or some government official shouldn't be allowed to. Hopefully this will be easy enough for you to understand

I understand the outrage to an extent but I am confused at how it has always been okay to call people “white” and “Black”, but she can’t say “yellow” without it meaning something negative. I’m a Black American, not an “African American”. I’m a descendant of slaves and thusly have zero idea where MY people are from before America. HERE, I’m Scottish/Choctaw/Black, that’s what makes me. I know that I never DO hear Asians referred to as “yellow”, but I’m still wondering what makes it racist when other people can be referred to as “brown”, “white”, and “black” with no malice to it. She obviously is not genuinely saying they ARE yellow just like how Black Americans are rarely actually BLACK; we have some that come close, but we’re usually more of a chocolate brown, while Latin X people are often a mix of white, coffee, and/or chocolate tone. 🤷🏽♀️
Don t be confused because one of your prejudiced people copied the Clarence Thomas race card in reverse. If an Asian would have used the N word, you would be yelling from the high heavens.
I am not defending her. But for many years I have (growing up) heard: Brown, Black, Yellow and white to describe Mexican OR Latinos, African Amer., Caucasian and Asians. And *NOT* in a derogatory or racist manner. I do not.

If you don’t see race, you’ll b blind to the fact that 40% of your “poor” people are from one racial group. That was an example. Anyway, simply not seeing color isn’t the answer. Seeing color, making sure there is no discrimination and reporting all discrimination is the answer.

She said she didnt know what she said was offensive. Shes so racist she isn't even aware of it. Ive seen this a lot in NY. Asians are constantly made fun of and called "Jackie Chan" by people that look like this woman.
All of my bully encounters throughout middle school and high school were done by numerous black people who advocated against racism. Its so ironic how they get away with it. I was called “chinker, dog eater, chingchong” the list goes on... And guess what, the school never took action. Normalized racism towards asians makes me pissed.
Lol Jackie Chan. I’ve heard that one before. Takes me back. And not in that good ol’ nostalgic way, either. Glad I don’t live in that backwoods neighborhood anymore.
Because calling people black and white is normal so she probably thought "yellow" is normal too. I dunno how offensive it is but it's annoying americans thinking that our skin color is similar to someone who has jaundice.
Why? We say white and Black people, how could anyone just assume saying "yellow" was bad if they don't know the history of the context? This country is so focused on Black-centric racism we haven't stopped to observe the racism happening to others. We don't have as much knowledge about Asian racism in this country.
I’m Asian, and I’m like “Lol, who uses yellow?!” 🤣 I just think the woman was just severely uneducated growing up on what the culturally right terms and words are. She probably thought “yellow” was just a nickname and maybe thought it was genuinely not offensive, so part of me doesn’t want to blame her because maybe her upbringings just sucked on teaching unfortunately. But, at the same time, if you’re already at that high degree of status and education, you should already educate yourself at that stage on what words are right and wrong, especially in the 21st century and especially in a diverse country like the US, so in terms of that aspect she may be argued to fall faulty.
I actually really agree with you as well, With terms like whites and blacks being so wildly use.. I can see the unawareness of her words. And while she should def apologize we as people also need to let people learn from their mistakes and become better. As far as this story, it sounds like it happened once, im not sure if it would be fair to assume that shes racist just not educated in these terms.
I don't think what she did was all that bad. It sounds off, because we don't really refer to Asians as yellow anymore because it used to be used to degrade them, but that's the same thing with calling someone black, however that's completely fine in our country. I don't think she's racist or meant any harm, she probably slipped up because she was referring to the other races by their color terms, so decided to do the same with asian.
Just giving a little input, in Carribean countries like Jamaica, yellow is also used to describe light skinned people. When I don't get much sun, my folks and aunt call me it. 😆
"ADULTs" just need to start acting like adults and start teaching children how to show some love and respect for one another, so they don't "GROW" up as ignorant adults. Living in modern society is hard and stressful enough, we all have our differences, but at the end of the day, we just want our families to be safe, happy and productive citizens.
Amen brother. As as Asian I was thought from a very young age to respect God, parents, grand parents, sibling, women, older people, environment, and fellow people living in the neighborhood. Good manners and right conduct should be taught in schools, not just academic and freedom of speech. Schools and school board should observe teachers teaching and poisoning young minds with political correctness shit. Leave it to the children when they are in the right mind and attitude to tackle that kind of thoughts.
@Lance Nguyen Have you heard the term "Ignorant is bliss? When we were children we were ignorant of all these racist crap. Once we get older and less ignorant in a not so good way, we become more nasty and selfish which comes to another saying, "A little knowledge is dangerous".
Call a white American a "European" and, unless he's virulently racist White Nationalist who's loyalties lie with people who look like him rather than his fellow Americans, he's bound to be offended. That's because white Americans are told our racial identity is just the color of our skin and race, culture, and nationality are completely separately. The fact that it works completely the opposite way for your ethnicity speaks volumes. The left engineers you to be racial tribalists who sees race and culture as indistinguishable and your race as a deep, spiritual part of your identity.
When my first born was a 4-year-old (14 years ago!) he was telling me about his new friends he played with at the playground. Since these were kids he just met playing at the playground he didn't know their names. He told me about "the white boy". Then he told me about "the green boy". I said, "what green boy"? He pointed to a boy and said "that green boy". It turned out that the green boy was a boy with a green shirt on and the white boy was a boy wearing a white shirt. I will never forget that moment and realised that kids are only taught by adults to distinguish people by their skin color. It's not natural to them. And I noticed this from my other 2 kids as well. They've taught me to try (sometimes successfully and other times unsuccessfully) not using skin color to distinguish people.

"that kids are only taught by adults to distinguish people by their skin color. It's not natural to them. And I noticed this from my other 2 kids as well. " Nonsense!

There's a VERY REAL difference in the races.
