Can You Tell If Someone’s Black or White Without Seeing Them? 

I’m unironically learning so much about American culture 😂

Watching this as a white european makes me feel really black 💀

I'm white and everytime yall are like "that's a black thing" I laugh because it applies to me😂

They need some southern folks in there, it would throw yall way off

My white wife works with a large number of black women who were shocked that she has the same issues with her curly hair that they have with theirs.

I didn’t even bother guessing, it was fun watching you guys just doing it instead 😂

"is it okay to talk inside a movie theater?"

Ya know, hearing Amala talk about sneakers made me realize there's a huge flaw in this experiment, what the blue people are wearing. I know this is supposed to be for fun but I think having all of them wear the same or similar clothing would have made this more interesting because Black and White people style themselves differently.

they should've had a black person a white person and an asian person

Amala... Just a reminder that we appreciate you reacting to these sorts of topics in such an entertaining way. Its fascinating to see your perspective when it comes to race, gender, etc.

Nope as a gamer….guys be thinking I’m biracial, Latina, Italian, Indian or French(Canadian white)😂 And when I say that I’m 100% unambiguously black, I get called a liar😅

Cookout is Southern term. Like the term Y'all both used by White and Black. But weirdly those terms have migrated to the West coast within black culture. As BBQ in the South is always "Pulled Pork". Ergo here in The South we would say "All y'all come to the Cookout, Eli smoking some BBQ and Mama bringing some slaw."

Too easy. Make the people say the word "ASK" 👍

Amala needs to keep a numbered list where she can write down her predictions lol "what did I say for this one?" Seems to be a motto on these videos lol

Years of cartoons have taught me that all blue 💙 people are meant to be black.

Man its nice to have a good lighthearted video on a friday! I was definitely playing along with yall. I cant believe people would have on issue with this, its just good fun. Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason people

I love this Chanel. Amala brings entertainment, politics and social things together to make something great.

I feel like black ppl get so much credit for coordinating and matching their outfits but I always thought white people especially white people with money dress the best.. and I'm mixed OK but sometimes all that flamboyant extra Ness is overkill

The accent/tone of black people is just an American thing. You don’t really hear a difference between white and black Britons.

for future references some "white churches" also do the crazy, loud, running around stuff

Amala! Bohemian Rhapsody is for EVERYBODY. I will not have this.

I have been called out. I am black and definitely knew the next part to “Sweet Caroline”😂😂

@Jubilee Make a white version of this. Would be so insighting and interesting

As a Latina mom, we have a shoe shelf by the front door. No shoes!!!! Only slippers or socks cx or chanclas for inside only

When you talked about black people matching there shoes with their outfit and not wanting to get their sneakers dirty, that’s my son and we is white! 😜

I don’t brush my hair, I comb or pick it.

Black female here: I have house crocs, Taylor's right! lol

Watching this as a black Canadian makes me feel really white lmao

Wow Amala did so good, all her analysis were so accurate

This episode was so fun to watch, I learned so much and was smiling/giggling throughout. Thanks Amala & Taylor!

Okay I had way too much fun with this Amala if they don’t call you next time I’m complaining for you

I respect everyone who speaks clearly and with good and proper English no matter the color of their skin. I came from Germany and the most important thing for me was to learn proper English. English is my third language and it still surprises me how so many Americans have problems with grammar. But 99% of the times I can tell if I’m speaking to a black person over the phone.

You guys are cracking me up. I’m gonna have to watch this again. You’re hilarious 😂

For the record 52:31 an upside down American flag is not always a sign of disrespect or of protestation....it is in fact the official governmental designation within the U.S. Flag Code that a U.S. flag should only be flown upside down 'during times of grave danger or great distress'. This can apply to a citizen who believes their country is in the shitter and displays an upside down on on their front fence, or to a punk ass anti-nationalist who thinks they're being cute. Because why? Because This Is America. Traditionally it was used as a means of warning for anyone looking that direction (not necessarily on a national level), as an S.O.S. in variable situations or to announce any trouble in the area. These are just some examples.

I think I’m going to be the first one to say this here, but it would be more challenging if they were not in close proximity to each other. Even with the blue cloth covering their heads, those guessing could possibly smell hair products that are pretty uniquely used by blacks or other people with extremely curly hair (Puerto Ricans, for example). I’m talking in particular about stuff that contains coconut oil or other coconut byproducts.

LMFAO Taylor wasn’t having it on this episode lmaoooo (Love you Taylor)

This format would be much more fun and incredibly more difficult if all people were from foreign countries!

If you're asking how loud the church is, you're not asking if they're black or white. You're asking if they're Pentecostal or not.

Hey hey hey, i didnt kniw what billy joel was until my black classmates started singing him. I knew the words to piano man long be4 i ever heard the song.

Honestly I had no issues with any of this and laughed a lot but reverse it and have Caucasian people guessing and watch heads explode 🤣

Yes I can 99% of the time I get it correct based on voice. they are very different for the most part. not only that the language they use is also slightly different

Great job Amala! You were on fire!! I can TOTALLY relate to wanting to flip the table/getting super excited to get them right!!! I was getting so into it nyself!!!!

This was so entertaining. Thank you for your content on your opinions and everything as someone who is always judged and called an Oreo…. I love the safe space your community and content brings.

I'm the whitest of boys and I've used washed clothes for most of my life.

This was great lol. We need to be able to do more things like this.

In Canada most of us take our shoes off. Unless you just need to grab something quick

I love Amala cracking up 😂❤

Almost every white high school girl in the 80's used a pick.

Amalas radar is through. the. roof!! ‼🙌

I can't lol too much - you are so awesome!

As a Chinese person, I was today years old when I realized non-asian people do not have a line of “house shoes” at the entrance of their house. Actually, even the term “house shoes” is new to me lol, I’d have said “indoor shoes”😂

The Jubilee where a group of black guys try to guess who the white guy was. It was super interesting cause he was raised by a black family so the only thing that really separated him from any other black guy was his skin color.

Yes, usually by the way they speak. Ask them to say “ask” 😂

Im white & have always used a washcloth. Maybe its a southern thing. Idk

People were upset in live chat?! lol They must haven’t lived long enough to see how true stereotypes are. Stereotypes don’t have to be bad!

To really throw people off get a black Canadian raised in a mostly white small northern town

i am the whitest person who ever lived and i Hate tomatoes LOL

I am a fan of hard floors and rugs. Easier to clean more frequently. Carpet feels good going around barefoot... So maybe in a bedroom. But to me it's just easier to put on slippers or house shoes. Carpets just pick up dirt too easily.

Ron Glass had difficulties getting roles because he was so well spoken and was shamed for it. This is something that really hurts a community - being shamed for being educated and reinforcing the racist attitude and divide between black and white people.

This video was interesting. Im a positive nerdy black guy, i speak bubbly and proper. I love anime, reading, history, positive quotes, kpop, nature and love video games. Lots of people would guess me wrong lol. That's just me and proud to be myself. 😊

Amala’s joy at being able to make these calls is disturbing/infectious/hilarious

When a person sings- any natural accent will usually disappear. Music,& singing is a universal experience that truly binds us all together as one.

You could blindfold me and walk me into anyone’s house and I’ll tell you what color they are.

I really enjoyed listening to you!

This was so fun! I only missed one. The 1st guy got me with the loofah 😅

Aa far as music goes, blacks typically know nothing about metal or classic rock, but these genres aren't well known to young whites either these days. In the 80s or 90s you could easily have determined who was white by simply asking them to name srome classic rock and metal bands.

People getting mad because your picking up on stereotypes are ignoring the fact that the people in the video picking them are doing the same😂

"I DON'T SEE COLOUR."

That fit is fire girl!❤

"The sound of Hope" is about a village that took on all foster children within a 100 mile radius with support of their local church. It is based on a true story and shows the hardship and the brokenness of the children, but also how the forster parents did not give up. I have not watched it yet, but trailer and clips look promising... .. Heart breaking but good.

How long does it take to do your hair is a good question. Huge difference. To wash dry and detangle my hair takes 20 min tops. But my children are mixed and their father is black, all have long hair, wash day for all three of them takes soooo long, damn near all day if i braid all of their hair the same day. Also, I have always worn jordans. Where i grew up among my generation, there was little to no observable difference between how the white kids and black kids dressed. This video was interesting. Recently found your channel and I love it ❤❤❤

Bahahaha Taylor saying the whitest thing - admitting he wears crocs around the house 😂

The only real clue is using that special word only some people are "allowed" to say.

A lot of blacks actually play chess.

15:35 My family hit me, guess I am black when it comes to that. XD LOL

I thought it was supposed to be guessing without seeing but you can see their clothes choice and body shape and gestures. (not to mention 'weird hair shape' and eyelashes)That's why some never even got to speak !

Taylor's comment on the "Su, Dude" guy was like black-ception lol

UK here. In a word, yes. Not 100% of the time, obviously, but it's definitely possible to tell if someone is black without seeing them...or even hearing them in some cases. Years ago, back when AOL was still a thing, a friend of mine had been chatting to someone online - no pics, no calls, just words on a screen (it was the '90's - uploading and downloading anything took forever). She, wasn't sure whether she liked him or not and sent me a sample of their convo and asked me what I thought. I said I thought he sounded really respectful, intelligent and creative. And, that I got a sense he was black. There was nothing specific I could point to and say, "Because of x, y or z". There was just something about the way he used words and put his sentences together. I think was a cultural thing - like when I read Nelson Mandela's book, Long Walk to Freedom, and I could 'hear' Mandela's voice as I read his words. I think this guy wrote like he spoke. And, at some level, I picked up on it. Aaand a few days later my speculations were proved correct. I've also done it a few times on my own behalf. One guy nearly wrong-footed me when he told me he was into motorbikes (I don't know why but motorbikes seem to be a white guy thing for the most part for some reason) but then he sent me a pic of his kids. They were both gorgeous and clearly mixed race. I think it helps that I have an eye for detail which, as superpowers go, has been a mixed blessing over the years - there are plenty of things I'd have preferred NOT to have seen 😆

I think this test can only be accurate if the disguised person didn't know the intent of the study/questions. .

My favorite was the “Sweet Caroline” race detector 😂

How crazy would it be to add Latin and Asian folks.

"Tennis is a white sport" yes, I'm sure Serena Williams would agree! Just kidding of course it totally is, but I admit I don't know any tennis players other than the Williams haha

I was barefoot outside and inside - I didn't and always requested people take your shoes off before you walk in my house. I'm not cleaning after you. 🤷‍♀️

British version had it tougher - they did not give out by clothes and they were standing goo 5 meters away

The very first time I watched one of your videos, I thought to myself, "she's black, but she sounds white."

1:18:47 Are you forgetting Blackiana Grandeee?? “YE MY RECEIPTS BE LOOKIN LIKE PHONE NUMBAS, IF IT AIN’T MONEY THEN WRONG NUMBA, BLACK CARD IS MY BIDNESS CARD”

Throw in some Mexicans and y’all would really be confused

Amala, you have a white nose. You have that classic roman nose. We have pointy noses, while black people have flat noses like you said, which as an artist is actually a hot topic because black people look different than white people and so it was really interesting hearing you make that observation as if it was just something you feel when it is something I have heard lots about! I'm white and I knew black people had different noses! There are so many different noses, noses are a great way to tell different races apart. Though pre George Floyd I was the most color blind person ever (unless you count my grandpa and cousins who are actually color blind) and still hold pretty to that, so I couldn't tell you what the differences are for other races.

Amala, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with speaking like you have an education. Always stay true to yourself!

my husband and his family are from Appalachia and theyre white, but they share a lot of the black traits yall are talking about in here its crazy

They’re the ones running out of the stores 😂

White girl and guy here using washcloths in every shower! 👋🏼

19:29 yes, and now I’m grateful for that considering I find it a chore to brush out my hair for five minutes 😂

Interesting what you said about wearing shoes in the house. I live in Ontario, Canada. We always remove our shoes when entering anyone’s house including our own. I suspect it’s because we have winter and remove our winter boots before entering a house and I think it’s just a habit we use throughout the year. However I notice when I was in England visiting family and every one keeps their shoes on in their houses or switches and wear slippers. I always take my shoes off and only wears slippers in the winter to keep me feet warm. I’m white btw 😊

It's so interesting to see American White and Black stereotypes. I can't tell what they are as European from Greece. Amala nailed it .

White male here that got spanked with a belt from my dad and wooden spoon from mom. This gave me great disciple and even though it hurt they afterwards told my they still love me and evrytime before the spank, told me what I did wrong.

Very neat episode

Lil Wayne wears a lot of vans

They have a catalytic converter under one arm and a boom box under the other 😂

It's me Amala, the the rare white girl that wore Jordans. Grew up deep in the woods, went to school in a small town. Not religious. And I hated Converse and Vans because any shoe with a white base wouldn't make itself look dirty so fast when you're outside and I despised it. Also I just like taller shoes, gives me better ankle support when I'm doing stupid sh*t.
