[@Zzz2x]

I will pay to support when I can . A lot profit off of appearing this way bc the genre they’re in. I’m constantly trying to explain to people that blackfishing is a form of racism and often a tool white people in certain spaces use to get ahead.. it’s like what tyga said he did with Kylie Jenner, (in an interview) he had to give her a new look (imo he and her family essentially pimped her out exploiting her as a young girl sexualizing her). He had to give her a new look I believe he said ‘urban’ or something, basically had her black fish and make her look mixed

[@Anyavailability]

This reminds me of when my last job sent home one of my coworkers because she had cornrows and "braids of any kind are against the rules". So naturally I went to the back room and did some quick French braids to see what would happen. My manager said my hair looked cute and I immediately went off on them for the double standard and said that is any braids are against the rules then I should be sent home too. They looked at me completely shocked. It lead to a change in company policy which is great but this should should not happen to begin with.

About the hair topic. I’m white and my coworkers said I can’t die my hair a not natural color. I decided to die my hair pink and my manager who was black called me in for a meeting unrelated to my hair and mentioned how she loved my hair. She told me being discriminated for her hair all her life she celebrates different hairstyles colors and so on. I will always remember that and never ever discriminated and judge someone based on their hairstyle/color

[@brookecookie7932]

White girl here with extremely naturally curly hair. When I was in college I received feed back that I didn’t get a job because my hair looked messy and unkept….. I was having a great hair day. The interviewer was a middle aged white man. It crushed me. I had a different interview with a different company and was having a horrible hair day and got feed back that I looked well put together and presented well. I was very floored. My heart goes out to all the natural hair girlies because it’s absolute bullshit that feeling beautiful in your own skin isn’t allowed.

[@Marlaina]

Or maybe the "middle aged white man" had his own singular thoughts and opinions that had nothing to do with his ethnicity? We are our own individual beings with our own brain functions and it doesn't always have to do with the melanin content. You could line up 10 people from 10 walks of life and they would all have a different opinion about your hair.

I know u fucking lying . You saying that is giving him way too much credit...and even if that WERE (ever) the case , idt the OP is insinuating that its due to HIS race , but based on HIS views on the group of people Who commonly hold the curl pattern. Also...even if I were to give B.O.T.D , and say it isn't rooted in prejudice, or bias , then I would simply put it this way , Someone's OPINION on someone's HAIR should NEVER be make or break with employment. ​@@Marlaina

People should strive to get better with age like y'all, not use it as a reason to never work on themselves or their beliefs ever and be so hateful that their kids and grandkids can't have meaningful honest connection with them anymore.

[@SocialistBoomer]

My kids are biracial. I know that black fatigue is real. I saw it being forced upon my children from my own family. My older brother thought it was funny to make nappy hair jokes, talk derogatorily about famous Black people, and ALSO exclude them from most family celebrations. Needless to say, the white family I once had…has been excised from our lives. It’s very liberating.

As a white teacher at a high school with mostly minority students, I love to hear about their lives and traditions. I love to compliment my students when they come in with braids or their natural hair, because it’s beautiful. I hope the students in my classroom never feel discriminated against because of their hair 💔 Edit: wild how people took this lol. I compliment my students hair, clothes, whatever when it looks like they put extra effort into their appearance or if I just like their look. I put my race to emphasize that even though I am not a part of minority culture I try to make my students feel loved and special. and lastly, do you all think all I do to create relationships with my students is compliment them? It's not trying too hard, its being a person caring about another person, trying to boost the self esteem of teenagers.

So tired of people putting down others blessings, because we are all truly beautiful inside & out ❤

[@TheAwesomes2104]

100% It makes no sense to take one of the most time intensive hairstyles out there and say they look "unkept" like... that's as kept as you can possibly keep it. I think anyone with that opinion should have to sit through getting their hair braided, care for it, then sit to have it all taken down.

​@@TheAwesomes2104also braids is good for black hair types because it helps our hair grow and it's used as protective styles for example a lot of black female singers and actress would do protective styles and have a lace front installed to protect their hair due to the weather, hot lights on stage and because while performing their natural hair will fizzle up due to weather and sweating.

I’m a white passing native Canadian woman. I’ll be the first to admit I am very white passing my dads genetics were hella strong. I’ve been accused of cultural appropriation for wearing traditional 3 strand braids and traditional regalia (clothing). It’s annoying for me and I keep my “Indian identification” card on me at all times actually because at some point I got tiered of explaining that my mom was the native one and that my dad was very very VERY white. Oh and yes its still called an Indian card, it has your “Indian identification number” and everything on it. The numbers tell what tribe, clan, and family you are from. Let’s be real here racism is not something new and it will probably never go away but I do blame the Kardashians for popularizing Cultural appropriation. They’ve affectivity made it harder for white passing people of any culture to appreciate and participate in their own cultures. I didn’t used to feel like I wasn’t “native” enough but after almost being denied entry to see my cousin dance a sacred dance at a powwow I will be very honest that I hate that I’m not native looking enough for people to believe me. That’s my experience with it all, I’m constantly feeling like I don’t belong because I’m too native for white people but too white for native people.

I’m sorry that happened to you but can I ask something. are you hateful or stand-offish to anyone who’s white because of it ? Or are you open that back then times were different and our parents and grandparents were to fault for their old passed down mindsets. Are you okay or agree that someone who was raised in a dominant black community but is white may grow up and adapt and change the speech and slang used. Is that bad ? Or is that rude to claim that one person who grew up in the community can’t use slang now because it’s “blackface”. Are you okay with the promotion of “everyone has white privilege and because of that no one can be racist towards white people”. Let me say something it has been wrong for years for white folk to treat any POC badly and many have changed - years after years but this new promotion that white folk need to pay up ?? Why not treat people from African like crap since they sold their own people ? Why not treat people under the KING in UK like crap since they were the ones that were steadily trying to take over lands - it’s just nah - just white folk. What happened 200 years ago was messy and wrong. American FOUGHT a war to free slaves - American killed their own to free slaves. - whites helped in some cases of the Underground Railroad- what about the states all those years ago that were free slave states - is hate towards whites escaped in those states - NOOOOO -- the mindset that we need to do this now. There are literally some companies that have a policy to terminate white people over anyone else regardless of job performance, seniority , etc because of what happened 200 years ago. So people who were not directly affected from it and being punished 200 years later Has any POC stoped to think.What would MLK say. Now that we all have the chance to allow our children to play with each other. We aren’t taking advantage. No. White folk do more and more to not step on toes while ours are being stepped on. POC teaching their children to hate white kids for what ? They ain’t do nothing to them. So how in the heck is racism supposed to stop or get better when POC are pushing it. Want it. -- it’s like a card used - example- my man hit me once but anytime I get mad I’m sure to bring up that one thing that was bad “ The Jews - Native American Indians - the Irish, Australia verse The French - etc etc etc. history is dark. Back then it was let’s conquer the world and hurt anyone in our path. All counties have messed up histories. They all do -- but why can’t it stop in American. And let me say this - I’ve been treated like shit by many blacks people in my life. My child has - and am I spraying racist ideals. HELL NO. But people can’t expect white folk to do one thing while others do the opposite. Why teach our children to act if no one else doing the same ???

[@xnotmylegalinfox8753]

How come it’s society fault when many people around us in our own community called us “nappy headed”. That’s a term used my POC. Our hair is 1 inch. Etc etc. I just think we all need to stop being so hell bent on using the “back 200 years ago” shit cause white folk ain’t that bad. They really aren’t. We teach our children to be rude to white folk ? Why ? And then go grow thinking white folk that bad when POC put that on them. I have a neighbor who constantly talks her kids into seeing white children as people to be rude too. Like 5-7 year olds as targets or people to avoid ? That their whiteness is a threat to them ?)? How ? Not this day in age. It’s toxic. If POC can’t see all the good that’s changed and due to white folk going against their families and the racist narrative instilled in them. Broke it - raised their own children opposite and now white children are better than they were in the 90’s but many of us still nag about race and crap when they the ones who are anti white. ?? Just know if we want us and our younger generation to be treated fairly and with respect - than we gotta stop doing the opposite. One white kid getting bullied too much but a child of color and it can change. Those parents who ensured their children aren’t baby racist may change up and then we will be forced to feel the “oppression” y’all speak of. We ain’t oppressed.

So, when someone sets ana kncredinle standard

[@Refiningforge]

@@sarahpage2031 please tell me what is wrong with my genuinely curious question? I want to learn and your comment is uncalled for and immature. You grow up.

[@lj0727]

So.. I have something I want to share. I fully understand the problem with cultural appropriation and agree 100 percent with how harmful it is. The whole influencer blackface trend especially is insane and it really bothers me how so many people seem to think it is not a big deal. That Emma girl from Sweden particularly drives me crazy. With her "just naturally tanned skin," as she calls it. Riiiiight. Didn't realize Sweden was such a tropic, sunny country.🤦🏻‍♀️The whole kimono thing was ridiculous, and I fully believe, like Swoop said, that Kim knew exactly what she was doing. I also agree that Kim calling box or fulani braids "bo derrick" braids is wrong as well. But on the subject of braids altogether, I am conflicted and kind of upset because I think it has gone too far. I am Native American. One of many things important to our cultural identity is our hair. Our hair is considered sacred and significant to who we are as an individual, family, and community. Different tribes have different meanings behind different styles, and it is sometimes used to show your place or status in the community. It is usually only cut for specific and meaningful reasons and in specific ways/rituals. In preparation for pow wows and ceremonies, we will do braids with extensive beadwork, feathers, fur, etc. Our hair is a constant reminder of our connection to our culture and as a bridge to the sacredness of relationships. Braiding a child’s hair or family members' hair is one of the most common and basic ways to connect and create a bond with them. My mother braided my hair almost every single morning, just like her mother did to hers. Here in Canada, we had something that is now called the "Sixties Scoop." Between about 1950 and 1980, an estimated 20 thousand aboriginal infants and children were stolen from their families by child welfare authorities and placed for adoption in non-Indigenous households and church ran "schools". They were literally trying to train the "savage" or nativeness out of these children. Thousands of them were killed during this time. One of the first things they did to start this "cleansing" process was cut their braids off in an attempt to strip their culture and identity from them. There are a lot more meanings and rituals involving hair and braids, but I know this is way too long already. The reason I am writing this is because lately, I myself am getting harassed for wearing my braids. Not even cornrows or fulani braids. Simple pigtail braids on each side running down my back. If I post a picture online, I am attacked and accused of cultural appropriation. I have been yelled at in the streets. So I just want to throw it out there that braids aren't "owned" by one culture. Native Americans have been wearing braids for thousands of years. I do understand the harm with Kim K wearing and calling those braids Bo Derrick braids. I'm not denying or discounting that at all. Culture appropriation IS a problem and is super disrespectful. I have seen and heard beautiful black women be made fun of or disrespected for having a "natural" hairstyle, and it infuriates me every time. But I don't think it should mean that only black people are "allowed" to wear braids, and there seems to be a large portion of people who think that or are now starting to think that. And about half the people who have harassed me about it are actually white. Anyways, if you got this far, thanks for reading. I apologize for the length lol I hope that everyone, no matter their hairstyle or skin colour, have an amazing week and kick ass in whatever they hope to accomplish! ❤️

[@leslie3550]

Always represent your culture. Your culture and people tried to be demolished and thankfully not all of it was. Be proud of who you are and what you stand for. And when those people bash you for braids, at your discretion tell them why you wear them. Maybe a little bit of knowledge might help. Or maybe not. Some people will always have closed eyes and hearts. 👑

[@alkahinat4558]

Thank you for this clarification because it’s true, braids are not specific to Africa, only certain styles are Your Native American cultures are beautiful and have resonated since childhood, because of the focus on the natural world and being in harmony with that. Hopefully people will start putting some respect on your traditional braids! 🤎

[@dannydarkense5500]

Celts wore dreads. They called them Elflocks because if your hair tangled in your sleep it was said that the 'little people' or the Fae (faerie) folk were responsible and it was bad luck to untangle them. We have many stories like this. Our druids especially wore locks and chalked them for rituals and gatherings. Many of my friends who have Celtic roots and who live in areas of the UK and Ireland where the Celtic culture is still strong and still adhered to wear their hair in locks (dreads) to reflect this. But they're often attacked for it if anyone sees a photo of them on social media. I think people need to be very aware that there are only so many things that can be done with hair and throughout history, most hairstyles will have been important to someone's cultural heritage, so maybe it makes more sense to think to ask someone before attacking them. This is said with love and respect. Thanks for reading.

[@Familytoyreview426]

Braids were also very significant and prevalent in Nordic cultures which descend from Vikings. I think sometimes people don’t realize all the other ways braids have been worn and their significance throughout history. I have always loved braiding my hair since I was a little girl. Never was I trying to copy anyone. It was just something my mother use to do with me that we bonded over and I loved that experience and having them.

[@sxarxag]

The way you explain the problem with Kims behavior towards the black and asian culture is very helpful for a lot of people, I think. Kim and the other Kardashians built a lot of their brands on the back of cultures they’re not a part of. And EVERY TIME they get called out it’s like: “Oh, we didn’t know that was a problem, hahaha, whatever, onto the next.” That’s the biggest problem for me. If you do something, that other people are hurt by, at least acknowledge your mistake, apologize and DON’T do it again. But people are still willing to buy their products, so why should they stop? I think, that we as consumers have the power to support brands, that actually care. We just have to be aware of our power. Another great doc, Swoop. You put in a lot of hard work and it shows💪🏼❤️

[@Spitfirejae]

Going off the hair part! My daughter has a 4A hair texture. And she’s very light skinned. I’m a mixed woman. Asian, black and white. I have a 3b hair type. Her dad is white. Irish and Scottish. And he also has curly hair. I remember my daughter coming home from her cousins house when she was 3. Three years old!!!! And telling me she hated her hair. It was too “big and short” and looks “not brushed” and she needed to “straighten it” because it got in the way. I remember hugging her and telling her how beautiful she was and her hair was perfect. I broke down that night and talked to her father. I really couldn’t believe that my baby was already dealing with this… We spoke to my husband’s sister. She was also extremely upset. She also realized that her daughter was 6 maybe 7 at the time. And didn’t know anything about ethnic hair. Or why it looked the way it did. She took that as a teaching moment and got multiple books and decided to start teaching her daughter about hair. I was happy that she at least took that step. Now. This didn’t change anything for my daughter. She went on about it for a few weeks. I got her that book “big hair don’t care” along with a few others. She would still point out that our hair was different. I stopped straightening my hair and started to wear my hair natural. She still talked about how my hair was long and curly and hers was “poofy” that same night I went into my bathroom and decided to cut all my hair off! I had a short little Afro just like hers. I remember coming out the bathroom and her screaming. “Mommy your hair looks just like mine now” we both started laughing and hugging. I said “does mommy look beautiful?” She had the biggest smile and said “yes you look like me. And I am beautiful too!” I really think it took me doing something that drastic to show her that it was OK. It’s been about a year, and she hasn’t said anything about wanting different hair. She loves her hair and she thinks she looks absolutely beautiful. ❤ I just wanted to share this little story with you!

They make it a point to stay in the news and media. The news articles we see about them, most are "advertorials" (you know, even the ones that have a taste of bad publicity but then the author starts to mildly praise them?) because they're trying to redirect our attention away from the actual information and blind us. Pretty much every "article" we read online is bought and paid for if it's a major outlet. I used to write for a major dating site and mgmt was like "okay you need to talk about this guy's book at least 6 times in this article about making him want to act like your hero..." because he bought an article. Publicity. The K family is constantly buying "articles" to trick the public. But that's how they get away with it. Publicity. People love to hate them and they're cashing in on exactly that. Everything they do is carefully coordinated. They know exactly what they're doing.

Swoop thank you so much for your insight on all of this. I live in Southern Italy, so the culture here is obviously different from the Us. But, I have natural 3c curls, dark blonde (my mom has type 4 curls, black hair and olive skin, for context) and I've been bullied relentlessly as a kid, called names (as the "lion king", because of how the shorter curls would rise up in a thin aureole around my face no matter how much of a beating my locks would take every morning with a brush to try and tame them in waves or a in braid). I've been asked innumerable times by strangers if they could touch my fluffy natural curls, I've tried to turn them straight as a teenager to fit in the common beauty standard so I wouldn't stand out too much or looking "messy", before finally just embracing and loving what I look like. And I'm white, light skinned and green-eyed white. Anyway, you're helping me process and understand some of the trauma, here. Thank you so, so much.

You speaking about the impact of hair and the lack of adoption of The Crown Act breaks my heart. I’m white passing and have a deep love and appreciation for the esthetics of natural hair and protective hairstyles. But even I knew this was one of the earliest times I experienced watching someone being racist. Sadly that someone was my mother. I grew up in San Bernardo and was one of the only white kids at my school. In kindergarten I had a friend who wore her hair in braids and beads and I thought it was the coolest look ever. I loved the sound her hair made when we ran around on the playground, all the beads clacking together. I made the mistake of telling my mom I wanted my hair like hers and my mom said I couldn’t. But not because of appropriation. She said that kind of hair was dirty and smelled bad. I was so confused. I never thought my friend was dirty. The next day I tried to smell her hair. We were five. I had no idea what being racist was or that my mom was a big time racist, I was trying to make sense of something I was told about my beautiful bff. I’m so embarrassed looking back, and I wish I’d known then what this was about, and really wish I could find that former little girl and apologize. Thank you for educating people. I’m doing better with my own children, teaching appreciation not appropriation. I’m so sorry you all go through this. Our society needs a major overhaul.

[@joannaswata3387]

Hello Swoop, I am so sorry for anyone who experience dissemination. I am a 55 year old white woman who was raised by parents who taught us people are people not colors. In the late 70's my dad was on the navy and brought home a man who was from Ethiopia Africa, Tig. He was on dad's ship for training and dad didn't want Tig to be all alone on the ship do brought him home to live with us till it was time to go back. My sisters and I learned so much from Tig and loved him so much. We fear he might have been executed when he returned as this was a time of unrest in his country and we never heard from him again. He was so much a part of our family that 45 years later we still fondly talk about our time with him. At that time I also had a best friend, Michelle Barns, she is black. I spent the night at her house and she at mine. I guess I lived in a bubble as I knew nothing about the Civil rights movement going on at the time. I had no clue blacks and whites weren't supposed to mingle according to society at the time. I just wasn't raised that way. You could say I was color blind. In elementary school I bonded with a black teacher Mrs. Hart, to the point I was going to go home with her one weekend to hang out with her and her daughter. That was until the school caught wind and put a stop to it. My mother was the one to tell me the school said students and teachers weren't allowed to have relationships outside of school. It was years later that mom told me the truth....if I were black or Mrs.Hart was white the school wouldn't have cared. It is so sad that race was EVER an issue and in 2023 it is on going. People exploit culture for their benefit but as stated in your video they can wash the color off or change their hair whenever it suits them but persons of color cannot. Why can't people respect one another as people regardless of color and or culture? I will never understand.

[@19Carmelita92]

for the people who don’t understand why it’s harmful to the black community, when something you do naturally/ have naturally is told to be ugly or unprofessional, not attractive or down right wrong and then to have someone take it and get praise for the same thing. it’s like in school if you do the work and someone steals your paper with a few tweaks to the paper and turns it in and gets an A but then you turn in your paper and get an F for “plagiarizing” them. it’s just frustrating and that’s the issue.

[@egregertsen3935]

I don’t think this is a perfect metaphor. When you write a paper you created that piece of work and as such own it (hence why it’s plagiarism to steal it) but no one “owns” culture. I do get the frustration that something is praised when someone else does the same thing you did that you weren’t praised for but such is life; life can be unfair. I think of Dolly Parton’s I Always Love You and how Whitney Houston’s rendition became way more popular than the original. Instead of lamenting about that not being fair, I would assume Dolly Parton would also be happy that her song became so popular, even if someone else sang it. Of course, this is not a perfect metaphor either because DP is not an oppressed minority and I get that that factors in here. I just think there’s multiple perspectives that can be taken here but some might be more positive than others (such as focusing more on the fact that some aspect of your culture is liked by others rather than that it’s more popular when someone else does it). Also, to me, the fact that the Kardashians are praised for “appropriating” culture is a society problem, not a Kardashian problem, as how society is reacting to it (praising them) is where the issue lies. Just my two cents.

What I will say is I struggle to understand how culture can be owned in that this ownership seems nebulous to me. For instance, Rastafarian dreads were originally specific to one community but “appropriated” by other African communities. Is it then cultural appropriation if your descendants are not from the specific community where they originated? My point is merely that if culture CAN be owned as you say, I don’t see how this ownership can truly be determined. I do see your point about slavery though once being the norm so I agree that just because something is a certain way doesn’t mean that it’s right or that we shouldn’t speak up about it.

I do administration and HR work for the small company I work at and I usually handle the interview and hiring process. I am the whitest of white girls, so any time a black woman comes into the interview I can see the fear in their eyes when I start going over the appearance/uniform rules. I think just about every single one of them asks if their hair is okay, and it always breaks my heart. I'm always happy to tell them braids and protective hairstyles are ENCOURAGED, and if braids aren't your cup then we allow head scarfs that are tied nicely and our company colors. My company deals with transporting elderly patients with severe medical disabilities so scarves and braids are literally the best hairstyles to have because some patients can pull or mess with your hair. Luckily our CEO is African. so when other managers and higher-ups pushed back against me fighting for those hairstyles, he was behind me 1000%

I lost my Jynx June18, hearing you talk about your own loss hit me so hard but it really comforted me, so thank you very much for sharing that with us. She was the true love of my life, and got me through everything

[@rubytwilight2003]

I’m so glad you made this video bc cultural appropriation has always thrown me for a bit of a loop. I could see how certain things being appropriated ia harmful but i always felt there’s a fine line between appreciation and appropriation and wasn’t sure how I felt on this topic and this cleared up a lot of my concerns between the two.

[@alexisbrooke2768]

The way I was getting so moody and irritated about the issues discussed but then immediately almost cried from the story about your kitty 😢 What a sweet story, those babies are so special ❤

[@ThatRedhedd]

This video clarified the issue of cultural appropriation for me further & had me thinking of how I'd feel if I was belittled, discriminated against, objectified, or excluded because of some aspect of my genetics or heritage and then saw members of the group that did those things playing dress-up in those same genetic/cultural traits for monetary gain. I'd be angry, to say the least. Thank you to Swoop & to all the open-minded, culturally-sensitive, diversity-embracing, (aka "woke") people in the comments for being part of the societal changes that the nation desperately needs! P.S. I'm aware that even the word "woke" was taken from black culture, and perhaps mischaracterized when it became mainstream. However, now that the conservatives have butchered the connotation beyond recognition for political polarization, I am compelled to use the word in the way I first understood it - because hearing a word that denotes awareness, knowledge, conscientiousness, & critical thinking twisted & mischaracterized by the opposition & used as an insult disgusts me. Subsequently, I can't imagine how disgusted others must have felt when they saw Kim K. misusing & devaluing their culture's sacred or traditional clothing and jewelry in a completely inappropriate manner without regard for their intended purposes and meanings.

I really appreciate these docs that educate on culture that I want to learn about but don't want to offend or come off ignorant in the process. ❤️

[@T.C.85]

Same here! Best way to learn, is to listen 💖

[@87pionia]

And sometimes the best way is just to grab a couple of books and doing some actual research... just saying.

[@T.C.85]

@@87pionia thats is another best way to learn. Doing both is a great way to learn anything, and that goes for this. I do my research, and I listen when I can learn from others.

[@rachel3620]

@@87pionia Sure, but people do learn in different ways. I appreciate that Swoop is making this accessible to a variety of people.

[@87pionia]

@@rachel3620 still doing some research won’t hurt. Cuz you’ll know that gatekeeping hair styles is non sensical, for example.

[@missmoviemonster1]

I just came down here to say thank you. I am white, and I am aware of the privilege of my ignorance, and this video (incredible as always) was so helpful to give context and historical knowledge around some of the issues I have been aware of but uninformed about. Very grateful for the opportunity to partially understand how devastatingly deep the anger and pain must run, even if it’s something I will never be able to fully understand through my own lived experience. I am so enjoying this series and the breakdowns each new doc brings about the far reaching, lasting impact of the reductive and appropriative behaviour the whole family has engaged in. I always do a little dance when you sing your intro, and I look forward to the thoughtful, passionate insights I am sure you will bring us all in the next instalment. Thank you so much again, Swoop ☺️

[@ThatRedhedd]

You are awesome! I love your open-mindedness!

[@winterlynn9012]

I'm white and proud. Privilege? Pssh.

[@susanrichardson631]

​@@winterlynn9012you can be white and proud and still be privileged. It's not a dichotomy. You can understand privilege without feeling guilty about. Any defensiveness is usually just that ... guilty.

[@kitwillihnganz5972]

​@@susanrichardson631Okay, tell me if I'm off the mark, but ... is it really okay to be proud of being white? Like, my great grandmother came from the Isle of Man, and I appreciate my Manx heritage, but I'm not proud of being Manx because Manx people are white. I'm proud because The Island is so beautiful and the people are so sweet and quirky and the language is delightful. But not all Manx people are white. The concept of whiteness exists only as a way of othering everyone else for the purpose of exploiting them. So I don't think you have to make allowances for this racist.

I found you from the glam and gore doc that made me sad to hear she was this way, since then i fell into a rabbit hole and love you since then. Your docs are so well i can never wait for the next to come and i feel kinda educated about different social issues every time and i love that and thank you for that. You are amazing and i feel i grew from watching the docs and be more in tune about certain issues and problems. So by that being said congratulations to the 400k subscribers, you deserve this and more

[@user-vg1do5by2e]

I am disgusted hearing people complaining about something as simple as someone else’s hair. I absolutely love the texture and beauty of everyone’s different hair types. Nobody should ever have to feel any less because of what grows on their head, or to feel less of a person for the person that they were born as or the person that they are choosing to live as today. I find all people absolutely beautiful and I appreciate you for making a video like this to educate people. It’s very important to have this information out there. I appreciate you a lot.

[@brigettelancome4063]

for the people who don’t understand why it’s harmful to the black community, when something you do naturally/ have naturally is told to be ugly or unprofessional, not attractive or down right wrong and then to have someone take it and get praise for the same thing. it’s like in school if you do the work and someone steals your paper with a few tweaks to the paper and turns it in and gets an A but then you turn in your paper and get an F for “plagiarizing” them. it’s just frustrating and that’s the issue.

[@lasmujeresnotienenpollAs]

Gatekeeping on hair styles is definitely a hindrance on becoming a peaceful global society

[@JennieOkami]

I got bullied for my curly hair when I was growing up, it took me years to even like my hair how it is, and I'm so white I blend in with the snow, I can only imagine how much harder it would be for someone with a darker skin color, and I feel for those that get bullied for their natural hair or even their skin color. It's just not right at all

[@lostingothicmusic]

I settled down for another Kardashian bashing doc and got that - plus an education about the ridiculousness of hair discrimination at school and in the workplace, which I had no idea was even a thing! Plus a heart-breaking history lesson about Sarah and her tragic story. And then such a sweet kitty tale at the end. All wrapped up in SWOOP's hilarious biting style. This channel deserves way more subscribers!

[@just_katrina1065]

Omg the Sarah story totally broke my heart 💔. Thanks for bringing things to the light and so clearly swoop. As a white person I always want to learn more and always hope to be culturally appreciative and not appropriative. I hope to succeed with this even more thanks to your friendly informative docs. Thank you ❤️

Same, it was hard not to cry listening to that. Both extremely sad and indescribably infuriating at the same time. 😭🤬

OMG its SO nice to have someone with a similar ethic background talk about the struggle. Im black, white, and Japanese. This combines for me to look rather Mexican. Growing up was HARD.

[@C-White-88]

I understand. My father is Italian my mother is from Argentina. My husband is German Irish. He was born and raised in the inner city of Baltimore, he was literally the only white kid in his elementary school. He was never addressed by his name only white boy. He was chased home every day when he wasn't fast enough he was jumped. Im 14 years younger then him so things wasn't as bad for me I never got beat up but I was made fun of all the time. Especially because I have long straight hair the girls would pick on me so bad for this. It's terrible how people treat each other. I hope you are well. Best wishes. 🤍

[@alliemarie2005]

Wow this really taught me a lot! I’ve been disgusted by the kasdashians since I learned of who they were. I never understood why they appropriated so much and now it makes so much sense. Also, Sarah’s story is so heartbreaking. Comparing her to Kim…wow.

[@missapeeps3771]

As a child, I remember loving the braids and beads so much that I wanted them in my hair. I remember seeing all kinds of hairstyles in my school, "not saying anyone wasn't discriminated against" but from what I remember of school "from a white girl" it was more of a hair color issue for everyone than a style or how you wore your hair. I got in trouble for bright red hair, so you really couldn't color your hair at all.. I remember seeing braids, wigs, and weaves. I do possibly remember a problem with afros... And this was deep south. As far as the Kardashians go, if you or other KZbinrs didn't make vids about them, I wouldn't keep up with them, lol. Their personalities always irritated me, and they are all very entitled.. Love your docs and how you do so much research and how much compassion you have for everyone ❤️

I strive to learn more about these things and be an ally to other people who experience these painful things, this was super informative and I really appreciate you putting this on blast. My blood boils every time I see Khloes photo in a native headdress. I cannot understand the amount of disrespect that goes into wearing something *special* (ie kim wearing the maang tikka, khloe wearing the headdress) for a cute insta shoot. It’s so hurtful, and gross. Thank you for making these, I hope people learn something from watching. 💗

I have had tremendous disdain for the Kardashians since as long as I can remember because of their lack of respect for other cultures amongst a myriad of other issues. Thank you Swoop for making this video to highlight so many important issues that sadly, even in 2023, haven’t been fully resolved.

[@dovelugosi]

I'm a cultural studies graduate (is that how you say it in english ? I do research in order to one day 🙏 be able to do a PHD) and WE NEED YOU to do talks within this field : you're funny, entertaining therefore your thesis goes through because you don't lost people's attention, cohérent, factual, scientific approach is here. PARFAITE !! And check out Gramsci and especially his theory "cultural hegemony", it's basically how a dominant class builds and spreads what would be considered " norms" in order to keep every profits of every capitals (financial, cultural, social, historical, patrimonial) for themselves. Stuart Hall also speaks about this in the english-speaking post WW2 world and how it affects primarly BIPOC and minorities of course.

[@rebeccababb4196]

This made me remember when I was like seven and I really really wanted my hair braided like my beautiful mixed cousin and her wonderful mom. She did braid my hair in a different style, and while she was taught me the difference between appropriation and appreciation. She told me about how she and others have a daily struggle and I still cherish those memories. Tl;dr: If a literal fetus can grasp appropriation and appreciation, a grown ass adult can too.
