My friend is Israeli-Persian and Jewish. When he told some of our friends, they asked how he could be Jewish and Persian. I find it so weird that “Jewish” is considered a race, it’s an ethnicity and a religion.

As a half-black and half-white person, i agree that the “passability” is what counts the most. I look way more white than black, and when i had straightened hair (my natural hair is curly), nobody ever believed that my mom is black. I also never received any racist comments, unlike my mom, she suffers because of racism till these days.

I don't know why y'all in the comments are calling the blasian (half Chinese) girl delusional. Like..... as a Blasian, some of us just feel more comfortable and more accepted by our Asian side. Just because she's not all that ambiguous looking and could easily pass as fully black, that doesn't mean that she has to fit into the blk community. I know some of y'all aren't going to like to hear this, but there is a serious problem in the blk community, black-passing and even ambiguous biracials are often forced into the black box, we aren't ever allowed to explore our full heritage. Blasians do not have to fit within the blk community, we blasians should have a space to be able to be both black AND Asian, just like Wasians. Stop forcing Blasians into the black box.

[@mollymolly7451]

People will still see her as black but anyway

[@heavenloves7819]

Yes blasians shouldn't be forced into the black box. But she didn't explore both cultures she was one sided and mostly only mentioned her asian side. Instead she should be like the mixed black and white boy and explore and accept both sides of her. Yes, the blk community has issues but so does the asian, indian, hispanic, mexican, white, and all the other communities and that's for people in the communites to work on. but that doesn't mean she should ignore that side of her and Honestly i believe she needs to explore her black side more.

[@breonawarren1507]

I blame America tbh. Other countries can tell the difference and use it correctly but Americans often don’t.

[@Solidude4]

This 'confusion' exists because there are no clear boundaries between nationality, ethnicity and race. For example, what is a white German's ethnicity? You'll probably say German. Their nationality? Also German. What about a white American? Are they ethnically American if they have a lineage in America spanning centuries? Are they ethnically English if their ancestors originally came from England? What about someone from South Africa? Are they ethnically African despite being from a specific ethnic group like the Xhosa people? Is 'African' even a valid ethnic category? Are they racially black if they are half white but live in SA? etc etc.

Technically, you are what your father is. (Edit) Ok look at it like this. Since I obviously love analogies to explain things I know 😂 but look. Let’s say a man meets a woman. He has a kid by her. This is the Kid 👉🏾🌹(red rose) The man then goes out and meets another woman. The man now has a second kid, but this one looks a bit different, this one is lighter complexion. This is the second kid 👉🏾🌹(pink rose) The man then goes out and he meets a third woman. This woman was even more unique in features than the first two. This is the kid 👉🏾🌹(blue rose) The only constant thing in that situation is that the kids are still roses. Regardless of color and features. If you can’t understand that then maybe I am a fool 🤷🏾‍♂️ Now reread my analogy below, full circle ⭕️. Also, look up the definition of seed and read the first two definitions, if you want to have a nice giggle while doing so look at the related words. Edit2: how do y’all not understand by now that the male spe-rm would be the rose “seed” meaning the male is the rose. Yes the woman is a breed herself in her own right (hence the environmental difference in the roses) but we can all agree y’all bring forth life and like I said it’s just an ANALOGY. That’s why the women’s egg would be the soil. You plant a seed in soil and life grows. How do you not understand this. Awww mann ya killing me 😂

Being biracial is so confusing, I remember asking my mum "what am I?" All the time, cause i didn't look black nor white, she always gave me a different answer and never took my question seriously. My parents didn't understand how confused I was, if u r going to have mixed kids, make sure you teach them to appreciate both of their sides. Biracials should not feel the need to pick a side, why most we erase a part of ourselves just to please others? -due to the "one drop" rule that a bunch of racists made, some people feel like I am just black and decide to ignore my white side unless they want to insult me. But ofc I still call myself "mixed" I dont know why people think I dislike my black side just cause I identify as mixed and not black, and i know for a fact that if I went around saying I'm black, someone will say I'm not black enough. Cause I'm never enough, I'm never the right skin tone, I never fit in. But I'm unique, I love it. But I'm tired of people saying "u look too light", "your white side is showing" as if it's a bad thing 🤨 stop trying to make me feel ashamed, or "you are not black enough". Some white people even avoid touching me cause of the colour of my skin, I'm not an animal. We get racism from both sides. Its disgusting. Some make us feel like we dont belong anywhere, and others keep fetishising us...we ain't toys.

In US, colonizers like french and english never mixed with native population, but as you probably already know, the same can't be said for Portuegese and Spanish. Mixed is reletively new, since it used to be both illegal here in a lot of places, and there wasn't that much interracial marrying in the US in general for the first like 200 years of its existence.

[@Arkinas]

African is not a race, Australian is not a race, Jamacian is not a race.

Arkina thank you this really is episode about being mixed ethnicity

[@issakendall3074]

Arkina ever heard of indigenous Australians? the first people on australian land before the british came over and as they called “bred” us out. you should really think before you comment about something you don’t understand. Australian is a race

[@Arkinas]

iSsA kEnDaLl indigenous Australian are called aboriginals. Australia population is massively white. Shut the hell up and do your research. Australian is not a race, same as as African not being a race.

Arkina there’s only one race the human race, we all have different phenotypes but we’re the same race :)

When the Jamaican / Australian guy said that his dad would say racists remarks , it hit me .. My mom who is white and dad is black, when they separated my mom would all of sudden generalize all black people to be the same just because of what my dad did to her

[@maplephox2385]

[@melissac5740]

Im sorry that happened to you. That just seems so toxic for a mother to say in front of their mixed child. Not only are they making disparaging comments of the other parent but also of the ethnicity of their own child.

Eh, he seemed a bit too full of himself with his virtue-signaling. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's clearly so guilty that he's white that it just infects everything he says with this tone of "I'm not like THOSE people." Because the fact is HE IS "WHITE," but he's also very clearly middle eastern. His phenotype is clearly Caucasian, as is the case with many middle easterners. It doesn't look like his Iranian side is Persian, or else he would probably say that. So why is he ashamed of coming from a family of Indo-European Iranians? I think what he means to convey is that he doesn't want people to mistake him as of Anglo-Saxon descent because that is not what he relates to, which is fair enough. But if that's not what he meant, then what point was he trying to make? Many Iranians consider themselves "white," particularly Kurdish and Azerbaijani Iranians. Iranian isn't a race, there are "full on" Iranians who are even more "white" looking than him. Do people really think that Caucasians only come from Europe? Have we all gotten so dense that we can't separate ethnicity from race?

I feel like the dark skinned asian girl should get to know her blk side more because her asian side is the only side she knows. Also the fact she thinks they hired her because she's asian when really they hired her because she speak Cantonese is funny. Like of course you'll get hired for speaking multiple languages that's a talent advantage.

Yeah, it's so easy to equate "biracial" with "half POC half white." While half black and half white is probably the majority of biracial Americans, as we see Asians and Black people and other ethnicities can have children together too!

as someone who is mixed indian and asian who was surrounded by a VERY indian school district (in the us), i have been told i’m not indian enough because i’d never been to india or i didn’t know hindi. i didn’t know my asian side well either and it was just so hurtful to be surrounded by people you thought were your friends tell you that you are not enough of your race. also, the amount of times i have passed as other races is crazy because i’ve been asked if i was native american, if i was hispanic and more. for all you mixed babies out there, don’t let others define you ❤

I have absolutely taken advantage of being mixed on my Hispanic side when it comes to finding a job.

It’s a very sad reality.

That’s why I don’t say it. I mean I live in a predominantly black area, and no ones really racist, so the only time someone’s called the n word, it’s usually by another black person just being friendly. And when I white person does the say the n word, they don’t mean it in a racist way, because they don’t see it as racist. So no one here is really called the n word by an actual racist, but I still don’t say it.
