Some of y'all are really being ignorant about this. She never says she identifies AS black. She identifies WITH black. Subtle, but major difference. She's not out here pretending to be ethnically/racially black. But c'mon...her family is BLACK. She wasn't just raised like some foster kid...they raised her basically from BIRTH. Why are we acting as if Asians or Blacks or Hispanic/Latinos or ANYONE are born with some cultural gene? We are products of our environment in terms of our behavior. Nurture dominantly determines our behaviors. Nature dominantly determines our appearance. If you're raised in the South by a black family that treats you exactly the same as they do their own biological children...umm, guess what people? You're gonna ACT like them! You're going to BE more like them. It will be what you know. Why is this such a hard thing to comprehend?

Spot. On. I’m half white (mostly German and English) and half Chinese, but my mom’s from Indonesia (there’s a huge Han Chinese population there). Her family only spoke Indonesian and she moved to the US when she was only 12. People still ask me what culture, ethnicity, or “race” I identify with, but the truth is that I was practically raised in a typical suburban American family. I don’t speak Indonesian (she practically forgot too!), we don’t eat Indonesian food at home, I don’t celebrate Chinese New Year, but for some reason everyone thinks that my “asian race” has to dominate my lifestyle. I can’t say I identify as Asian or white... I’m just me!

She's essentially saying that while she may be ethnically Korean, she has more in common black people than she does with other Koreans.

These are not things one is born with. These things are acquired.

I agree with you except the race is genetic part. Race (white vs. black more specifically) is a social construction developed for the purpose of trying to argue that those of African ancestry were not human, to put those of Anglo-Saxon heritage at a higher level than everyone else, and to reason why the Anglo-Saxons can own Africans as slaves. Originally even the Irish weren't considered white, they were seen lesser than Anglo-Saxons. But now we consider anyone of European, Caucasian, and even Russian as white. Even though someone who has French lineage is not really genetically related to someone of Albanian lineage, even though both might have light skin and blue eyes. Yeah, the gene that produce the light skin and blue eyes might be the same, just as the gene that produce dark skin and dark hair for Africans is the same as for the Polynesians, but they aren't genetically related, and don't even share the same culture. Even in Africa, there are so many different phenotypes and cultures, but we might consider them all black even though many different groups are not genetically related to each other. They are only labeled black to justify whites using Africans as slaves, and white was a label for those who could vote and own land and slaves, that's it. In America, there is mainstream white and black culture. But outside America, especially in the European and African continents, you couldn't label anyone as white and black, because it doesn't make sense, it doesn't mean anything. Everyone has different cultures and comes from a different "genetic pool". Sorry for the long reply, just wanted to clarify that race is not strongly based on genetics.

Nigerians in general have a culture that values education, hard work, 2 parent homes, and other Christian conservative values. Unfortunately after 1960, these values dissipated in the black american community due to the democratic policies that incentivized single parent homes, dependency on the government, etc. It's unfortunate but it's nice to see people waking up to this. Candace Owens is a great example helping people wake up, check her out when you can. Peace bro!

Even the average German liked(still likes) him. Again nowhere in Africa (from Arabic speaking north to Southern Africa) will welcome Candice! Not even Asia will tolerate her presence!

As a Caucasian woman, it feels odd to hear blond hair blue eyes to be the standard of beauty. Coming from that, so many of us look to women of color for beauty. I think a woman owning her look, shining from within are the most stunning. I look at middle eastern women and am in awe. Korean women, Irish, any and all ethnicities really have something so uniquely lovely and inherant. I hope we can begin to celebrate and honor our culture more than ever before without exclusive "we are inferior or superior" attitudes. And I agree, you do not have to choose! We practice self love, acceptance and see that we really do enjoy our differences. The more mixed we are in culture and race the funner and more rich life can be once embraced. NO one told me to be a racist or bigot, and I reject the notion that to be white means I must feel and think in such a way. No one held me to that low thinking place. I only wish people that do not look like me did not think I look down on them. The opposite is true. I value the unique. I hope to dispell the myth that one look or set of physical characteristics is the standard. We all have something to contribute and appreciate in our differences which in the end are actually similarities.

Yes she lived with a black family, but she was different from everyone around her. Black people still have representation in America, whether it be athletes, musicians, public figures, etc. She however did not have anyone who looked like her on tv to look up to. She wasn’t blaming white people for anything. Your own prejudice is misinterpreting the intent behind her words.

I’m a twin Vietnamese adoptee raised by white parents in Dallas. Watching this makes me wish my parents had been conscious of the identity issues that transracial adoptees struggle with. POC know the implications that skin color carries in the West, especially in the southern parts of the United States. My parents were naively unaware of the prejudice that existed around us. With all regards I love my parents however, from my experience adoption is painful. I think every adoptee has their time to become like this woman and own yourself for who you are. The society that surrounds you makes that so hard sometimes though.

There's no problem with her being comfortable with certain aspects of black culture as her adoptive parents are black, and that's just that.
