Did you know in China during the covid pandemic they threw the Black African labor workers out into the streets making them homeless during the middle of winter fearing that they might spread the covid virus. Take it easy that racist narrative, you kids think this all fun but you have no idea what real racism is.

He might be spamming but he is telling the truth. The Chinese government pushed propaganda about black Africans carrying the virus and property owners forced them out to the streets.
Rick genuinely seems like he is so interested to know about all the countries in the world and befriend all the people coming from them. Not a lot of Americans know about Central Asian countries that's for sure.

I watched the video they posted before this one and in that one they already said the title doesn't fit. Maybe they could have repeated that or changed the title.
I don’t that’s necessarily what they’re trying to show here. Being uneducated on it doesn’t make you racist but most educated people on it will likely not be racist. Every racist I see tends to be very uneducated on other cultures and plays into stereotypes. I think they were trying to show that not everyone in this town is racist opposed to that everyone in this town is racist. It’s also more about their reactions to the questions and not how many they get right.

I love Rick! I was rooting for him, so glad he won! Wasn't expecting anyone to know that much about different Asian countries rather than lumping them together. Good for him!
same, plus i liked how he had knowledge on parts of asia outside of east asia. This channel is run by east asian people so I understand why that was what their questions were focused on, but people always ignore central asia, south asia, and west asia (also sometimes south east asia) when talking about the continent and its cultures, but he knew about the whole continent rather than one part

Really nice that you showed that not everyone in the supposed “most racist” town is a nasty racist person and that there are actually good people there!
Any town that is primarily white and very conservative is going to be labeled "racist". While majority of them are not actually racist. Media is all about promoting racism right now. This guy seems pretty cool though and I think he's just trying to see what people are actually like in these small old fashioned towns.
@@mattmccaffrey4299 yes absolutely. there is a huge difference between being a bit racist due to ignorance and being racist on purpose due to unfounded hatred.
@@Lifeless_Asian Nope. Some black dude made a video going to there. And he also didn't experience any. The whole things started because there is a cell/family/thing. Of radicals living somewhere there, although isolated even by the townsfolk people. But they were used as a focused to condemn the whole town. But it will be no different than condemning a whole town/state for having the Westboro Baptist Church or a neo-nazi or kkk cell. According to MSM and BigTech is bad to associate Islamic people to certain terrorist groups that been causing trouble for over 100 years. But it is perfectly fine to condemn a whole town for a group of radicals that live on it.
Honestly, we South Asians and Central Asians get left out of the conversation quite a bit when Asian people are mentioned. It was nice to see his knowledge on that end:)

They are talking to an Asian guy. If you were a racist, would you express your racism directly at his face? Of course not. All they are doing is abiding by basic manners while talking to a stranger, no matter their actual belief. Just because they don't sound explicitly racist doesn't mean they aren't. Not assuming or anything, but it can really be either way.
@@joonjoon819 One might even find the phrase "Asian Culture" refering to a mix of Chinese and Japanese culture to be racist and offensive when there are many different cultures in Asia, including Israeli, Iraqi, Turkish, Siberian, Pakistani, Indian, Filipino.
The most "racist" town and somehow all of these lovely people managed to be so kind to you and took out time in their day to have some fun. I think we could all learn from this. Perhaps they aren't the brightest folks, but they seemed like good people.
@@bertroost1675 it is true that it’s America’s most racist town. I think this video is trying to show that not everyone in this town are terrible racists.
@@bertroost1675 dumb nut, they’re just showing how the people in the town aren’t the racists everyone tends to believe they are. The title is that way too bring attention to the video so they see the truth.
For being 'the most racist town in Arkansas', the people that were picked to do these questions seemed pretty nice and down to earth. As someone living in the SF Bay Area, I struggled with a couple of those questions.
I think this video shows we shouldn't be sowing stereotypes and perhaps some of the divisions we create are only of our own perceptions. The morale. Don't judge a book a book by its cover or because someone else already described the cover and no one bothered to follow up. I couldn't get most of these questions. There is no distinction here between a town in Arkansas and its people and a town in California, Washington or Oregon.
How cool that you show the pride of Mandarin culture while being Cantonese! Also, these Americans pleasantly surprised with their friendly attitude & willingness to guess 🥰
@@nybergsgarage Well, our media and history only wants to talk about those who "did it bad". It's what you want to remember about US history that makes it today. A lot of people can go on about how Europeans came over and stole land, owned slaves and segregate the races. But, a lot of them came to be in the abolitionist movements, fight on the Union side of the Civil war, fight to end wars against the natives and land seizers and took part in the Civil Rights movement. It's only what people want to hear and remember about a country to make it what it is today. Especially with the white half of the country.
Honestly, people tend to be friendly wherever you go if you're friendly first. Southern Whites in particular are crucified by Hollywood as the world's most horrible people, but the truth is that any given group of white American southerners is not unlike any other ethnic/national group of anyone else. Most will be nice or at least cordial. Some will be indifferent. A few will be hostile.
What annoys me the most is that when people think of Asia, they most likely only refer to East Asia. They forget India, all the "Stan" nations, most of the Middle East, and most of Russia are also in Asia.
My personal experience was the opposite when I was growing up in the UK. There were so many times when I got excited that an Asian was featured in a magazine, only to find out that it was a South Asian and never an East Asian like me (not hating on anyone, we ARE all Asians, it just felt like people who looked like me were never represented). Instead, we were referred to as Orientals, a word I always disliked and a lot of the time, the focus was on our "oriental eyes".
I know right? Especially that elderly couple. They looked so sweet and innocent. And besides, a lot of the things he asked, they wouldn't have known anyway, especially the questions about modern Asian cultures.
Since a lot of people are offended by the title: This is a follow-up to another video that established that while the town is labeled the most racist, you can't judge the entire town by the KKK which has its HQ there. The video is titled ironically to demonstrate again that the town isn't as bad as its been made out to be. The point is everyone should be more open-minded and not treat others based on prejudice. They aren't saying the whole town is racist.
The word "racist" was created for control on free mericans, its a form of shaming. Created back in the late 1800's early 1900's and to this very day we hear race hustlers headed straight to the south. Um, go to Minn, Mich, new yark cali, oregon, you will hear some stuff that will make Howard Stern blush. LOL!
Rick wasn't just awesome in the video, he's awesome in the comment section here, replying to everyone and wishing them well. What a wonderful human being.
It should be known that the town isn't anymore or any less racist than any other small town in the south. There is actually a group of racists that live several miles outside the town that bought the billboard.

I would be able to get all these answers right but I know I don’t know as much about Asia as someone who is from Asia so I would say I only know a little.

To be fair, if you travel into the heartland of China, which I have done, it’s much the same as this. I lived in China for six years and traveled a lot for my job. Although people are fairly knowledgeable about the USA, because they learn in school English starting in second grade (so they know English greetings), there’s extreme ignorance about Europe and Latin America. So many times I would find people that didn’t know what language was spoken in Mexico or Cuba or Argentina or Spain. They had never even heard of Spanish. They wouldn’t know the difference between Spanish, Italian and French. I also had teenage students who thought that London is the capital of the USA. I also met people who thought that the English language originated in the USA, not in England. I think the bigger a country is, and the more self-sufficient it is in providing its own entertainment/movies/songs/TV, the more ignorant it is of the outside world, especially if people don’t live in cosmopolitan cities that don’t get a lot of foreign visitors and workers. The people in Shanghai are much more internationally savvy than the people in Yinchuan. Same thing with the people who live in NYC and this people in this heartland town in the video.
TBH, it's very understandable. Why would a rural Chinese person learn about the details of European or Latin American languages. The vast majority will never go to any of those places and learning about them won't be useful in any practical way to them.
@@PerfectSense77 Came from rural China and I can definitely confirm this. In rural China when I was there, we never really thought about other countries or their culture and language because we were just focused on making ends meet. For the most part, the focus was on the kid(s) exceeding in school, going to university, and getting a job so the entire family could live in the city and not be impoverished anymore.
I am really glad someone pointed this out, and from my experience from living in Europe and the Middle East it's the same situation for many people, it's not an American thing
This was great. Thank you guys. At times being a person with an interest in Chinese language and culture in a place where it's not expected or normal is discouraging. These young women in front of the storefront, and the sister of that guy with the truck (and honestly, even him, given how open he was to correction about boba), and that one dude in the yellow Pac-Man t-shirt gave me some hope for rural America.

This is NOT the most racist town of America. But it IS directly next to it. The town of Zinc is the town that takes that award for actually housing the KKK leader.
I was worried that you’d choose some really intricate questions to subtly humiliate the interviewees, but I think the selection of questions is actually quite fair! Mostly elements of pop culture that more people are familiar with and made the whole game light-hearted instead without shaming.

Instead of “racist town” title, you should put “most culture isolated town”. I’m sure a lot of people are not racist but are not aware of how much has changed or how they were raised these parts of the towns. I think it disrupts their comfort about the changes regardless if it’s a new store, different ethnicities, taxes, laws that makes everything more complex for every individual because there are a lot of people now compare to how it was back then.
You know, I think this is a really underrated response. I was honestly surprised when I agreed with you that "most culturally isolated" might be a more appropriate assignation than "most racist." I mean, at the end of the day, racism is just the result of ignorance, but sometimes people are so ignorant (through no fault of their own) that they don't even know they're ignorant. It's happened to me several times coming from a small town in the deep American South. And I love learning where I'm ignorant! It's room for growth!
This town is not the "most culture isolated town" however, there are Amish towns that are more culture isolated than this town while also being less racist
@@tb8654 I don't disagree with you, but I would play devil's advocate: while I wholly agree that there are non-racist Amish communities, is it really fair to label one town as "the most racist town in America" when their education system has so clearly failed them? The Amish have an excellent education system for the most part, so while they're isolated, sure, but they're educated to be empathetic to the plights of others. Some people in rural middle America don't receive that same thoughtful education.

To be fair, if you flipped it and found Asians who hardly ever left the town they grew up in, and asked them questions about American or European pop culture, they'd probably be stumped too. My wife has watched all the MCU movies at least twice, and she still doesn't know who's Hank Pym or Scott Lang or Howard Stark. LOL
@Mar Kazain makes perfect sense. Look at the racial demographics of the south. its white and black territory with the exception of texas and florida. They all make up less than 2% of the states.
@Mar Kazain Well it make sense that asian is not teached in depth at all. Because they are in USA so obviously the education would be more cultured to the western hemisphere values.
Hey this is Rick. I'd like to ask you if you could play the fiddle music I played for y'all. You guys did record it. I'm sure people would want to hear it.
That nurse with the dark blue shirt just carried the 2 other girls lol! She always got it right, but her friends got it wrong but they had to go with the same answer.
When he said "Asian Cultures" I was expecting him to ask questions about all of the diverse cultures of Asia from east Asia all the way to the middle east. But no, apparently east Asia is the only Asia
Yeah, a little more variety would have been good, the questions were about chinese greeting, a chinese super hero, the chinese zodiac, korean pop groups, and a a taiwanese drink... It´s like if someone said they were to ask questions about Europe, and then almost all the questions were to be about the UK or Germany...
If you say Asian in the UK, although we know China, Japan etc are in Asia, we actually mean Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi etc. In fact on our forms Chinese would not tick the Asian box, they have their own so its different in different places.

I think it’s a perfect (mis)leading question as it’s SO wildly broad that like your first response would be to question it. But also agree that it’s probably the one question that could lead to the most “racist” responses so people might just be like “I don’t know”
Hi guys! So you know, the town gets a bad rep as the most racist because of the people living in a small village a few miles away (Zinc). The people in Zinc, including the leader of the KKK, stage rallies and go to Harrison to make sure the press stays away from their area. I'd recommend checking it out next time you're in the area (don't trespass tho).
