Preconceived Notions About Race - Tyra (Part 4)

The Tyra Banks Show - ''Preconceived notions about race'' (Recorded Nov 11, 2008, WWOR)

[@chuckie102883]

I'm glad she brought up that is NOT just a Black/White issue. We Latinos and the Asians are ALWAYS overlooked in the race discussions and it's annoying!

[@c6dbes932]

***** The problem with Hispanic/latino is that it is not a race... Latinos are a big mix of everything: caucasians, natives, and blacks. Some latinos are mainly black, some are mainly white (like in Argentina for instance), some are mainly native (like in Bolivia), some are equally mixed between white and black, native and white and so on... That mexican girl in the video, whether she likes it or not, she's white/caucasian... Maybe not fully, but she's partly for sure! I'm 100% european but she's whiter than me.

[@starburst9053]

***** Everyone gets a piece of the victim pie, don't worry

[@sofiaaljessar1992]

UniquelyMade and Arabs!!!

[@hooha123424]

Its funny when the Asians tell their story the audience laughs but when its a Black woman telling stories of her racism they gasp like someone just died

[@Lyriicistique]

kindly go fuck yourself. you're probably a white.

[@hooha123424]

Zaya Taylor What did I say?

[@SkyyPiano]

I noticed that too. Everybody loves to laugh at the Asians while shouting that they are the biggest victims of racism. When many of the people laughing are probably guilty of racism themselves.

[@quack123]

Black people have a monopoly on victimization.

[@SkyyPiano]

@Review Sam I was saying that everybody loves to laugh at the Asians while shouting "We are the biggest victims of racism" simultaneously. Anyway, I don't doubt that black people have the highest number of incidents of racism in most areas. Asians, however, are bullied more than any other race. And it just so happens that black kids bully more than any other race. So there are some areas where it's not universal.

[@lyriclanguages3780]

The only difference between Mexicans, Nicaraguans or any other person from any other Latin American country is the nationality, meaning the country where they are from. But in terms of 'race', majority of them are Spanish and indigenous

[@zxsani5032]

Oh my god. She is white. Just because she is Mexican, thats a nationality. She probably has full Eureopean ancestry.

[@Paola-jf2qf]

zxsani I think when she says "white" she means it as a race. She is not talking about skin color. My sister has been asked if she is white with her light skin, dark hair and green eyes. My yougnest brother has light skin, light green eyes and brown/ blond hair. The three eldest have dark brown hair, tanned skin and light brown eyes. We are a great mix of my parents. Both are Mexican. My mom has dirty blond curly hair, white skin and light brown eyes. My father has black hair, green eyes and tanned skin. We are Mexican American and pround. I understand the "your Mexican I thought you were...". People need to get out and travel the world.

[@ashleyh.5293]

@@Paola-jf2qf You can be of full European ancestry (white) and still be 100% Mexican. The girl in blue is clearly a Mexican of mostly European heritage. I notice that many people from Latin America think the're a whole separate race and I don't understand why.

[@palmer491]

THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY

[@SweetPanda401]

I loved Tyra's little thing about guys around the world. The white one was HILARIOUS.

[@starrynightfall00]

"They called me ching chang chong" Tyra: Okay I never heard that before What rock have youbeen living under??

[@mebetaty97]

"oh my god you're so hot, Dayum" had me ROLLING. lmao

[@jaimearable]

the Korean girl looked like she was really trying to hold her anger in

[@TheNotoriousBobbi]

Okay you can clearly see she's not Chinese, my guess was Korean right off the bat. Koreans look completely different than chinese. And why is the audience laughing at the things she was teased ? So ignorant...

[@girlyp0px]

It's really annoying when Tyra interrupts the people are talking

[@TayKT1629]

I know she does that all the time

[@deni-gibbs]

@@TayKT1629 yes she does

[@EuriOh]

I CAN TOTALLY RELATE TO EUNICE. I am Korean myself. And CONSTANTLY people ask me if I am Chinese. Just TODAY, I got called " ching ching chang " in class. It really, really upsets me when people make fun of me like that. Although I'm in advanced math at school, I SUCK. Kids come up to me at school and ask me for help with homework, and I say I don't know, and they're like " you're asian, you're supposed to be good at math " and it hurts.

[@malin8083]

I'm 100% white, but people think I'm Asian, because I have a similar eye shape. And I've always hated when people call me that.

[@SkyyPiano]

Why do you hate that? Lots of people think Asian eyes are beautiful. In many, many girls wear the cat eye eyeliner to make it look like they have an epicanthic fold. BTW, if you are interested to know how you got Asian-looking eyes in your lineage, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jam3n4mNnLR6gsU

[@LanzoEmilia]

this is funny how tyra is 'all against judging and putting people into categories' but when it comes to her impression of the white and black guys she is clearly stereotyping....

[@marnierichardson9643]

Eunice's voice is so pretty oh my god

[@elifo2724]

americans are too focused on "races", which are actually nationalities.

[@genahxoxo_]

I always get mistaken by white even though I'm Puerto Rican but it's really stupid how people consider a hispanic person "Mexican" and a Asian person "Chinese" yet they don't do that with White people they don't say "Oh hey are you Swedish?" Or black people "Are you Jamaican?"

[@klk-manitod.r.3009]

Last time i check Puerto Rican is NOT a race, it's a Nationality or Ethnicity. Puerto Rican are mostly Mixes but also White & Black. Compare Marc Anthony with Tego Carderon, you will see one is White & the other Black but both are Puerto Ricans. So you are a White Puerto Rican.

[@alexiabarnett7476]

Jenn Ifer Jamaican is a nationality.

[@alexiabarnett7476]

Jenn Ifer Why would they think that Jamaicans are black?

[@alexiabarnett7476]

Jenn Ifer Let me rephrase that, why would they think that the black people are Jamaican?

[@kirayamato9850]

I love Tyra! She is amazing :*

[@XChiakichi]

everyone on this show is gorgeous! so many pretty people in one studio! :3

[@drakemiller9377]

What i like about this is that Tyra mocks some nationalities and using some preconceived notions herself...while trying to expose and stop the issue!!

[@sashanigmatulina7080]

what`s their problem, i`m russian and i don't care if they call me ukrainian, or sweedish or whatever

[@laabellebeauty]

I've never understood the Mexican car stereotype. I love how friendly-oriented they can be. But I'm just an outsider looking in.

[@care2much2]

The one in purple is so beautiful! I love her eyes!

[@benrobinson77]

this show is not a joke, these are real issues that really do happen. i face this issue every freakin day. im really happy someone is actually talking about this.

[@WweFan93x]

all these women of different races just stereotype each race and act asif they have it worse off there just as bad as eachother

[@misslee6788]

Hahaha correct

[@sashanigmatulina7080]

and this mexican girl does look like mexican

[@SevillasSalay]

Hahaha, I laughed so hard when Tyra did that thing about men. "Oh my god, you're SOO HOT, DAMN!" Haha. Amazing.

[@meyerchick89]

I worked with a Korean woman once and she was so bubbly and lively and we talked about it and she told me that she always keeps a smile plastered on her face because otherwise people think that she's mean.

[@malikzayniee]

Lol the first girl thinks she's so hot. #DoYouHaveAMirror

[@sarahajike]

I knew she was Korean. Maybe because I'm quite cultured. I always ask first, I don't assume. I know how annoying it is to be judged for the way I look, not just race wise, and people assuming I'm from somewhere I'm not.

[@9eminemFan]

I LOVE TYRA!

[@SquishedUnderAHouse]

I GUESSED THE KOREN LADY RIGHT!!

[@bobzyurunkel]

2nd girl in blue: bitch you are white! You can be white and Mexican at the same time!

[@wesday3652]

? she said she was white. they weren't talking about race in this video, they were talking about nationality.

[@BeginAgainMC]

I love the way that she addressed this issue.

[@hellomimibanana]

thats why i love tyra, omg.

[@ItzSayaa]

I LOVE TYRA

[@jjsquire706]

We are all human beings and that's what needs to be realized because that's what really matters period. Everything else that's used to give people identities is in fact the same serum that's used to keep us all separated and forever divided. If we don't find a way to come together and finally set aside our differences, we will ultimately all be destroyed. 😳🤕😔

[@witchplease9695]

Lmao Tyra is hilarious.

[@oprah7]

i love all of tyra's impersonation of different type of guys.

[@xshami786x]

love tyra

[@ThisIsRusko]

love tyra

[@vanessachouchou]

i like the way tyra speaks french " oh mademoiselle bonjour viens ici" it's just amazing

[@aniles1989]

im am so proud to have friends from different countries and listen, learn and preach to others who dont understand that chinese is apart of asia and that the less offensive word would be for chinese is Oriental...from what I know from my friends and their families

[@gradyboi2]

I love how she is doing this race thing...

[@romant142]

gradyboi2 she is doing it wrong

[@essjai5D]

i love that x

[@kayh1654]

You can't fault a person for not knowing one's race based on their looks, sometimes you just can't tell

[@CaliPrince11]

One of the wisest things I heard here on the blond ambition "Tyra Show" is when Tyra said she feels connected to other people of color and all people of color need to support each other. Well said Tyra.

[@WateverWatever04]

I have many mexican friends and I love them! THANK YOU!!

[@Sybelcomvelik]

It always feels like a delightful surprise when someone tries guesses my race. I don't find offensive I think it's rather entertaining and intersting.

[@perdybirdie]

you go girl!

[@West_Indian_Aiyah]

thank you, people dont understand that and the fact that this earth been around to long for any human to be one pure race

[@TrillSimmer]

Ok when Tyra started doing the impressions is what got me lolololol

[@relroyastro]

tyra's impersonations so cute and good :)

[@DrumsforSafety]

OMG...Her little impersonations were Hilarious!!!

[@RBrown-zl6wo]

Tyra is the bomb! Older white lady bingeing!💕

[@llwshrgrv851]

xD Omg I love Tyra

[@av0cadud3]

that's soo true!

[@tokiosuoh]

lol I just couldn't stop rewinding where tyra started with the guy pick up lines lol XD

[@djamburere]

thanks for clearing that up for the folks here. peace! :D

[@jignaeri]

hahahhahhaaa the accents so good

[@Ukinna260]

LOL Tyra is funny!!

[@zairekrieger]

yeah i know!! those dramas ar helping me out alot 2!!!

[@WateverWatever04]

I love tyra's "Little Humor From All Around The World" LOL

[@victoriaelisabethrg]

i love tyras impression of all the different guys haha! and argh asian stereotypes, people think im chinese too.. im half korean haha

[@anewmeePassion]

i love tyra's impersonation of how guys act

[@x3rikx]

epic win

[@GiohannaT]

She's the most beautiful asain I've seen omg

[@singing4hope]

This is so interesting

[@skaistuminsh]

Tyra was so funny here :D

[@darkblaze176]

I just wrote that on Part 3! haha how awesome that you know that to!

[@igotVoldemortsnose]

1. I LOVE Tyra's impressions, they're hilarious! 2. I guessed the Asian women's races correctly. (booyah! :P) 3. I have the same issue. People always assume that I'm Chinese and are surprised when they find out I'm half Japanese. Example, my mom sometimes gets spoken to in Chinese or Korean, and she has to say "I'm sorry, I don't understand you." I know people of those races that aren't the stereotypical kinds of people, but I do know or have seen people who are exactly the stereotypical Asians.

[@XJacexX]

We need to stop saying they and start saying we, we are one human race.

[@CelticXAngel88]

They can't help what they perceive any more than you can help what you look like. Don't hold people's visual misunderstandings against them unless they insult you.

[@Jamaican_queen25]

Exactly!!!! That is how the world especially America is, and thats the facts!! Things just need to getter better as a whole you know.

[@rosalierox247]

Lol 4:23, the Korean woman is like "Ima whoop some CHINESE ASS!"

[@toocooltocare96]

wow..i kinda feel the same way because im egyptian and was raised in an indian and black community, so its alot harder for me that everyone considers me as indian and not black or arab. When i still tell them this, they say "oh ur not black" or "stop trying to be black ur not cool!", when im only trying to represent my culture and nationality.

[@equilibrium0994]

lmafo at tyra imitating all the different guys of different nationalities coming onto a woman.

[@psychosmiley101]

this is hilarious

[@SivvySiv]

lol tyra silly as hell!

[@Cwade14]

this show is the truth!I'm mixed, my father is half black and half white, and my mother is 100% Peruvian...when I talk to latino men (partiuclarly mexican men) they assume I am black but when they ask and I tell them I am half Peruvian, it's like that dark-skinned girl said "they get excited" about that because no, I am not black I am Latina...one of them, and from then we become friends and its okay most of the time, although a fairer skin color is usually still preferred.

[@apologizenow]

that imitation tyra did for "the guys frm all ovr da world"..funny n guud too

[@verydenise]

hahha tyra hella nailed how all the guys act

[@Pagyptsian]

I liked her impressions :D

[@indigothecat]

Speaking of those bonds, I know exactly what she meant. The various Asian students at my college all hang out separately with people generally from their own country. I can understand why in terms of the language, but they all can usually speak English. I remember one time, a had a friend named Chong, I believe he was Vietnamese. He got really upset and scared because he got a new roommate who was Korean. It totally blew my mind.

[@seamonster403]

lol, go tyra!

[@Pr0tag0nist7]

Tyra does a good impression of guys!!!

[@AlterEgo2k8]

"We bleed through similar veins" -Tupac-

[@x3kauailove]

oh my goshh! she's so right, some of the guys in italy are SO scary they follow you!

[@zwoncitza2]

I'm from Europe and I laughed sooooo hard for Italian and French boys cuz it's soooooooo true.... xD

[@ManiacPower]

"I am Korean" *Audience claps* "They call me ching ching chang chong" "They call you what??" LOL

[@punny515]

These ppl need 2get out more!!

[@3EBalways]

THANK YOU!! this video needs to be seen!! my skin colour is mocha and i have dark brown curly hair people only see black I'm not black.they dont even know me. tf. I'm colombian I'm spanish and PROUD!

[@wallysk]

lol tyra just killed me

[@Ukrainian-woman-of-your-dreams]

Like Tyra, I do feel more connected to people of color than I do with whites and even blacks. In fact, I have two good friends, one from Colombia and the other from Thailand. I feel like that I can trust them more than even my own family.

[@Minarhenaye]

The best part was Tyras impersonations lol

[@IamJacksColon4]

agreee!!!

[@Tokiohotel192]

I live in new zealand and have dutch bllod so to my surprise During work I was serving a customer and this man asked me to talk so he could double check if i had a scottish accent. I have red hair and fair skin...but SERIOUSLY...people were behind him face palming LOL

[@jignaeri]
