Race and Ethnicity

A visual sociology documentary on race and ethnicity at the University of Washington

[@jacobvanryzin9287]

"'I'm Blackinese" i like that guy

[@draleighd]

People don't know the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality

[@Myself4892]

The more subjective the concept, the more complicated and difficult to handle it becomes.

[@jackcropper8102]

A female British Member of Parliament once declared that "someone with Chinese features could never be mistaken for a Pakistani - they would only ever be Chinese!!" (sic). In that single, unintelligent, bigoted statement that MP (herself female and Pakistani), dissed every child born to Pakistani/ Chinese parents. That is one reason why equating ethnicity solely to race or skin colour is dumb.

[@MooCowPoopPoop]

Why do some of the people in this video just say "black" or "white" but go into detail of what Kind of Asian or other race they are? Very few if the "whites" said they were Danish or German or Italian and etc???

[@curlytana01]

My race white ,native tiano American, black Caribbean. ethnicity: hispanic peurto rican 100% nationality :U.S. It sucks here in the states people think latino/Hispanic is race and I can never express myself being multicultural.

[@africanme117]

You know better. Just teach your household and forget about the world out there.

[@pffilms2522]

you are 100% culturally Puerto Rican?

[@usingThaForce]

very good response .

[@thegigadykid1]

Tiano is not race

[@haochengloucosmopolitan2697]

Obviously, the subjective part is more significant than the objective part.

[@AbreTuMente]

Thanks for sharing this interesting video!

[@acorncookies3965]

Im White (German, Irish, French), Mediterranean (Italian), and Middle Eastern (Jewish and Arabic)

[@donkeyjote0104]

That's true that the appearance(physiognomy/ race tendency) say something than any race.

[@knowthetruth1492]

My race is human, and my ethnicity is Mestizo(White Spaniards and Amerindians).

[@samusara4life]

How can you be so stupid? Your species is human, not race. Finish school please.

[@knowthetruth1492]

[@echelon2k8]

Tom Gal My race is human = The human race = My species is human.

[@TriniMae]

+Tom Gal Our race is human and ethnicity is (for example) black, white, etc.

[@larningethroisy2868]

TriniMae Our Race is Human, our Nationality is United States Citizen - American for short, my Ethnicity is American, because NONE of my family came from Africa, and Black is NOT An Ethnicity, that's BS. I'm not "African-American" OR "Black-American", those identities are reserved for people who ACTUALLY came from Africa.

[@dyaniaharding3342]

Mom is British, Dutch , Irish ,south Africa is mixed with britsh, bajin is mixed with britsh, Indian and Portuguese my dad is full Guyanese

[@dyaniaharding3342]

@Carlos Martinez telling for your username I'm guessing your Hispanic and I know how you feel as a kid I never really identified with the others enthicity (Indian and Portuguese) mostly cuz I looked straight of the bat black and white but I did many of times get mistaken for black and Indian and black and Hispanic but once you get older you start to accept all of your ethnic backgrounds

[@shazferouz]

I can't find a single article on-line that lists all the races in the world. All i can find is that apparently there are 3 major races: Negroid, Mongoloid, Caucasoid. And all races on earth are the result of interbreeding between these three. But surely there must be sub categories right? Anyone have extra info on this?

[@thegigadykid1]

shaz ferouz scientifically there are 3. According to Darwin there are 5 for me there are 7

[@abidakrout8445]

thegigadykid1 Four for me Negroid: Black/African American Caucasian: European and Latinos Mongoloid:East Asian Indo-European,Araboid and Hamitic: Middle East, South Asian and North Africa

[@dtrez09]

First time I've seen a Chinese Italian person as far as I am aware. I can see the Italian influence. If he told me he was Chinese I would wonder what other ethnicity he was.

[@Oyjsf]

White black indian (south asian) chinese (south east and east asian) arab latino turkish central asian persian Polynesian aboriginal native American indigenous Romani/gypsy jewish Did I miss any?

[@futairimasu]

Y u pple use the word ginger?? o.O! I'm not from the US (or even close) so I really don't understand that thing of "ginger" could you give me a light?

[@luisaugustobonilha8210]

If we analyze the human genome we will see that we are one race, with small differences observed in the different population groups that make up the human species, and that the differences between individuals that are part of the human species/race are , biologically, a result of the most different processes of natural selection that have occurred on these groups throughout the world and times, and of course the cultural aspect - yes, the human is a cultural being - which reinforced these distinctive external (physical) characteristics, attributing to them a value judgment - good/bad, right/wrong, better/worse -. Brains, in this process, develop plasticity and different neurophysiological functions in these individuals, but they continue to be brains of the "homo sapiens" species and of course, it all depends on what you mean by "race".

[@ChowMeinLover805]

I’m Filipino-American. My parents are both Filipino.

[@BlaBla-uh3hn]

how are you full blood Irish???

[@usingThaForce]

@1:20 "girl you fucked"

[@jaskh2772]

race and ethnicity are not synonyms !

[@Humanophage]

That's a nice video. I rather like the professor. The emphasis on the idea that ethnicity isn't just self-identification, but has an objective component is commendable. Speaking of which, I am quite glad that personal genomics companies can now offer relatively cheap genetic tests. That should put an end to inane family legends according to which every second white American is part-Amerindian.

[@Ng_mitchell]

9 years ago omg

[@Humanophage]

@@Ng_mitchell The legends are still alive, but Princess Warren's genetic results struck a powerful blow against them, as I predicted.

[@Ng_mitchell]

@@Humanophage aw, hope you've been great : )

[@Humanophage]

@@Ng_mitchell Yep, thanks! And still not banned from KZbin, whoa.

[@xavierlongoria4562]

what is the question? are you inquiring about their race? you are wrong

[@lru1116]

Race is a social construct. For example, while someone of European ancestry may perceive someone from India as non-white, someone in Africa may perceive them as "white", while someone from China may perceive them as "black".

[@jc.eh.123]

what do you call a white latino ?

[@alexcorralgarcia]

You're not a white Latino.

[@swadewade73]

You are a Mestizo

[@abidakrout8445]

Billy DA Kid If Latinos aren’t white, than Arabs aren’t either. Arabs have more African ethnicity and have a different skull

[@ryacus]

Gisele Bundchenis one I guess?

[@BlaBla-uh3hn]

5:00 mah nigga

[@bayamonrican]

Ha! I call myself a mutt lol I was born in Puerto Rico, have an Italian last name, I look Native American, my mom is Spanish and Portugal and my dad.... well he looks mixed with native but everyone else in his family look white lol Italian is somewhere in there due to sur name.... I'm sure there is some African somewhere in the blood line because of some physical features on some fam....all equals to mutt lol

[@Gman3000vr4]

Race and ethnicity are not synonymous. Race is an idea and ethnicity is a proven scientific fact.

[@fbaallied]

Technically speaking you're wrong, ethnicity is also subjective.

[@michaeldarnellsmithsmith5015]

in the bible your nationality or ethnicity is determined by the seed of your father.. so you can be a mix of this and that but in Gods eyes your really whatever your father was... biblically speaking

[@scasey1960]

Yes - ignoring science is the frequent flaw of religion.

[@marilynwillett804]

Absolutely.

[@reymond1718]

4:53 haha :D

[@MegaAli213]

Nationality equals ethnicity.

[@p.a.andrews7772]

Stop to using words from a myth ,and understand that the working-class would still be the working-class if you weren't lying !

[@codecruz]

Race is just a figment of the human imagination. These divisions are kind of unnecessary.

[@fakeneim]

yeah dude, dna is just a figment of human imagination, right?

[@ultradevon04]

fakeneim what is the objective definition of a racial category in the biological sense? If you don't know or don't have one, any notion of race is arbitrary and primarily a social fabrication. There are biological differences in populations but that too is arbitrary because there is still no distinction on when a group becomes a so called race.

[@fakeneim]

I understand, maybe my first response came as too satirical and agressive. what I was thinking was in fact that there's no need for such 'divisions' but they are a fact. having better dna for some sports is a fact and it does not matter if we exagerate or not to put a label on it as ethnicity or race or whatever, it's still a fact.

[@matthewwrafter8159]

+fakeneim I know you wrote this a year ago, but please don't make assumptions without doing your research to back them up. Not only is there zero evidence to suggest that blacks are born better athletes than whites, but there is also ZERO biological basis for race. These divisions are not "fact", as you say, but are fluid and change all the time depending on how people want to categorise.

[@lordtullus9942]

It's That 0.01% that starter WW1

[@mikepoole2004]

Holy crap, I am watching this video for a class. I hope to god that they have better material than this.

[@ivanthegreat760]

Ginger white LOL

[@vijayafernando1]

whether one born is black white rich poor us citizen or Chinese is 100% accidental. it's therefore completely ridiculous to give any significant weight to a fact based on an accident. it is much more important to treat everyone with respect rather than using a measure which is entirely dependent on a fluke.if I give a simple example. what if I was born to Trump's parents exactly at the same time as Trump and not a twin! Would I be Trump? would people treat me like a morally bankrupt person? or would I threaten to blast the earth into oblivion?

[@marilynwillett804]

would you be the most powerful man on earth?

[@draleighd]

African American is not a proper identifier it is two continents , black is a social status

[@kolleamm]

This is so pointless... can't we get back to curing cancer than worry about this crap?

[@MooCowPoopPoop]

Why do some of the people in this video just say "black" or "white" but go into detail of what Kind of Asian or other race they are? Very few if the "whites" said they were Danish or German or Italian and etc???

[@thegigadykid1]

+MooCowPoopPoop because they are ignorant they dont know the diffrence between race and ethnicity. and they're american they dont know their heritage
