@Demiclea Jewish is a white minority. Edit: I ran into this comment 2 years after posting it and since then, I have learned more. Jews aren't really white, as they have a lot of DNA from the middle east. Some of them may pass as white though, especially Ashekenazi Jews.

@diane9247 Nah Judaism is a religion, Jew in reality is meant to denote someone who descends from the lineage or tribe of Judah that is where the word was coined from. So in truth not every Israelite is a Jew. Now the term Jewish is just a new age term which is loosely associated with those who follow Judaism

I am racially profiled as White when I'm Asian. I've even been hired to impersonate White celebrities and even more oddly, have had to straighten my curly hair to do so. The worst thing for me is what happened to me at work recently. I am a substitute so people don't know me well. My name is also ethnically ambiguous because it's common in Japan and in America as a White name. I was accused if being racially insensitive towards Asians. Obviously, she overheard my private conversation incorrectly. I then had to explain what I actually said and then had to have the awkward conversation of the fact that I was raised in an Asian household by a 100% Asian single parent who spoke English as a second language. The struggle I felt was regarding something that many say doesn't exist: reverse discrimination. It does exist because I get beat by both of ends of the racial stick. I complained to the head of the program and tomorrow, I was asked to call and a letter is being sent to me after she decided to conduct an investigation. My decision to speak out against a White person erroneously telling an Asian to not be racially insensitive against Asians may cost me my job. They do not want to recognize reverse discrimination, which happened to me when someone misheard my conversation, but they can get away with further marginalizing an Asian by mistakingly profiling me as a White supremacist. Someone has to do something about this insanity.

I wish this were a longer documentary. I'm from the deep south, Mississippi, to be exact, and we are used to seeing black people who are white-passing. Yes, colorism exists, but as black people, we know each other when we see each other. Regardless of what people think about the south and colorism, 95% of the time, we fully embrace each other. However, we all have a few people in our families that, if we didn't personally know them, we'd judge them as white on the street quite easily.

From appearing racially ambiguous to racially unambiguous and look mono-racial I think it’s important as Black appearing folks we look more inside of what brought us here rather than just take what society has made us be.

I am Moroccan(tuareg) (ma) ,taino aboriginal and Cherokee aboriginal(pa) I have all my families documents,land, and hand me downs everything. But yet they just categorize us all as "black" "descendents of slaves" etc etc. My family were always here. It's funny when you can prove it too .there's no slavery anywhere in my history. Only war..my family traded across the u.s and traveled back and forth from Morocco to the u.s that's just the blood of my .iwaleda papas roots are old. I have met my great grandfather before he died he told me one thing that has always stuck with me "they're going to erase us if you let them" their writers. Always kept notes, receipts,laws bills, census,and everything well documented and kept. Neighbors even. Old business partners. It's insane. I solely believe that's where I get my hands from.. only if people knew a little bit more about ethnics and ethnicity look a little closer at people's eyes their hair their skin certain proteins producer in the facts that we see us you know curly or straight or curly or skinny people just need to understand more about genetics and I think that she will fade away, education but until then we'll all may be seen as white or black or yellow or whatever the case maybe and it's simply just something they've created for classes reasons. Creating a social hierarchy among the people makes them easier to control. Right?. But the amount of times I've been falsely identified her mistaken is hilarious and it's truly an annoyance sometimes as well. I've been mistaken for so many things. The amount of times I've heard "your black, but your like a different kind" 😊 is ridiculous."your voice doesnt match you" is another way of saying you don't sound black. It gets unless I can sit here name examples all day but bottom line is it really gets annoying and it's hard to understand the dude in the video honestly because you simply don't want to keep explaining something over and over and over again your whole life

you know that is a fucked up thing to say because you don't know and don't want to relate to that experience. It's like damn if you do, damn if you don't. Back in the day, if you had literally one "drop" of African blood you were considered "black" and discriminated. Most people didn't want to claim there "blackness" but these folks do and here you are saying that they aren't "black" enough. By the way in the continent of Africa, not everyone has deep black skins and wide faces. Indigenous Africans have a wide array of phenotypes, skin color and hair textures from near white North Africans to the very "Asian" looking San people.

I am mixed race, and what I find incredibly frustrating is that once my ethnic make up is pried out, I am being put into a box and my ethnicity constantly has to be mentioned, brought to the attention, joked about etc. So, I tend to not voluntarily disclose it, even if I can sense how somebody is dying to find out. It is a way for me to stay true to who I am and seeing myself as an individual rather than having to succumb to somebody's idiotic idea of who or what I should be according to them.

There was a time where being mixed race was less commonplace and most people precieve another based on appearance. This in itself isn't a bad thing depending on the context. For those who genuinely don't know and is not apparently obvious, don't jump straight to being on the defensive rather than introducing it in a receptive manner into the conversation. What origan you want to embrace is totally up to you. Never chose one side soley cause its easier but rather who you most connect with as your true being. I'm sure your parents at one time or another had to overcome some hardships of being an interracial couple. Your mother gave birth to you and kept you. The least you can do is proudly own up to both sides of who you are.

Honest question. You have three glasses. One is empty. One is full of tequila. One is full of orange juice. If you fill the empty glass halfway with tequila and top it off with orange juice, what do you have? Would it be identified as tequila, orange juice, half of each, a mixed drink or something else? Same setup but you fill the empty glass a quarter of the way with tequila and the rest with orange juice. Same setup again but you fill the empty glass almost to the top with tequila and add in a drop of orange juice; what do you call it? DNA percentages are rarely even. But if someone from West Africa with 100% local African DNA has a child with someone from Northern Europe with 100% local European DNA, the child would have roughly 50% of each. If that person had a child with someone who is 100% European and the cycle continues for several generations the percentage of African DNA drops to ~25%, ~12.5%, ~6.25%, ~3.125%, ~1.5625%, ~0.78125, ~0.390625 and so on. You're left with trace ancestry. At which point should one no longer identify themselves as the "race" of a small fraction of their DNA? Would you call a glass of tequila with a drop of orange juice a glass of orange juice? My DNA test results, which update/change every so often, state that I am 99.4% European. 0.2% is unassigned and 0.4% is trace ancestry. 0.2% of the trace ancestry is identified as "Iranian, Caucasian & Mesopotamian". The other 0.2% of ytave ancestry is identified as "Melanesian". My dad is 0.2% Native American. My mom is 1.1% "Broadly Northern West Asian", 0.3% Manchurian & Mongolian and 0.2% Peninsular Arab. I also have 286 Neanderthal variants in my DNA. Does that mean I can identify as mixed? Or that I can identify as Native American, Middle Eastern and Asian? Or am I simply white because I am >95% European?

Ray Stevens sang, "Everybody is beautiful" which is absolutely true, so I am thankful for your race and community identification, but I am also more interested in your heart and the view of the world you have for all people. I sometimes laugh to myself about all this racial division. When I was a teenager, I was told my facial features did not represent any current racial groups on the planet, even though I wished they did. In high school, students referred to me as "stone age" because of my resemblance to a Neanderthal boy's facial features. Yes, the name hurt, but it made me a better person & made me respect all races & people. It has been a blessing in Neanderthal disguise to me as a person.

nellek970 Just because some people want to consider race a "social construct " does not mean that racism, culture, ethnicities and experiences are not real. If no one is black, than no one is white or Asian either! Try telling a Chinese person no one is Asian! But I disagree with the "social construct theory" and I believe there is nothing wrong with having racial classifications as long as no one is mistreated. Also there are plenty of pure black people in Africa. No one has time to argue percentages just because a person has 2% European ancestry they feel like they are not pure black. That is stupid and a waste of time. Someone who had a non black ancestor that entered their bloodline over 300 ago, is not the same as having two parents from distinct different races or ethnicities.

Ethnicity is culture. Race is based on ancestry and is often associated with physical features. For instance, Black or African Americans are an ethnic group because they have a culture with its own history, language/dialects, literature, history, etc. tied to the experience of enslaved Africans and free Black folks of the United States. In general, most African Americans are mixed-race, regardless of skin color, with African, European and/or Native American ancestry. Similarly, Irish Americans are an ethnic group of people who're of Irish ancestry. Most Irish Americans are white. Some are of mixed-ancestry (for example, a lot of African Americans have Irish ancestry because Irish slave owners raping enslaved female Africans or through consensual relationships. Martin Luther King's great grandfather was an Irishman who married his great grandmother).

I was excluded from the group all the way through elementary school because I was dark. Even my own brother liked to make fun of my darkness. So, yeah, I am alienated too. As an adult, I don't feel a part of black culture. Hard to feel part of a group that basically made fun of you your whole life. I don't feel like a part of anything.

The manager's eyes got real wide when I told him the legal actions I would have taken had I been the fired employee. I can't give details. (I won't give details.) But what to the person fired was almost comical.

Who are those people? The ones who enslaved Africans and raped their women. Then created laws to ensure that their mixed-race offspring remained enslaved? The same people who then created the One Drop Rule to boost white supremacy and champion racial purity? Surely you aren't blaming someone who identifies with his ethnic heritage? Do you condemn someone who calls himself Irish or Polish American? Read a history book.
