London is the most diverse and accepting city in Europe - probably the world when I come to think about it.

[@gnawershreth]

While you may be right, I'd love to hear your reasoning and all your studies behind that statement. lol

[@alfielinney9202]

Cimorelli is the best wow you're such an idiot. On these videos it only takes a few scrolls down to get to the bland inevitable ignorance. Perhaps have a look into a history of what Britain did to the world, and then see what you think. If that doesn't change anything, maybe you could write a book called 'mein kampf' and become politically successful.

[@ChezzvanderVos96]

Amsterdam. On par or better - but London is still very diverse :)

[@HaidyAdham]

I'm french and I'd say Paris is the city of the most open-minded, friendly and accepting people in Europe.

[@VoiAhoyTV]

oh really? i wish it was but i'll never be good enough to be british, even being born here i feel like I'm a bad person.

[@midnight15086]

It's always about class. In every society ever. And once an association or connection is made between poverty and any particular race, it perpetuates an ongoing cycle.

[@markgable101]

I have never seen an English shop in London.... There mostly Asian as in Indian. Black people shouldn't complain. Being in England is better than being in your own countries. That's why your here. The black man in America didn't have a choice he was brought there as cheap labour.

[@midnight15086]

Mark Gable My point was that all around the world, the rich (or sometimes even middle class) despise the poor, and if there are more of a certain race that are poor, the rich will despise that race too overall. And where there's more poverty there's more crime, so they also come to be associated with criminals. And overall then that race will have a harder time getting ahead in life because they are despised (for being poor and/or uneducated, ultimately), which perpetuates an ongoing cycle. You don't want to promote a race full of ignorant people with a higher proportion of crime rate, so they are kept down and they remain a race full of ignorant people with a higher proportion of crime rate.

[@pwat7254]

Asking most white people about racism is like expecting a wall to talk back. Ofcourse they're not going to see it (since they're the majority in those places) and usually if they do, they'll deny it.

[@ladylaurenia]

"Our culture's accepted but we're not accepted." PREACH!

[@nicnico1734]

Pharrell needs to bring back this series. Why, did this series stop.

[@Kilamanjaro009]

Why ask white people about racism? That's like asking heterosexuals about homophobia, or men about sexism.

[@AmberO]

Exactly. Whites will deny racism every time.

[@vafc613]

"white people"

[@emmamcmahon7099]

Because white people can't face racism? fuck off, I'm white and have faced racism before.

[@AmberO]

Emma McMahon Learn the definition of racism. You have NEVER faced institutionalized, political, or economic oppression. Sit the fuck down.

[@AmberO]

Emma McMahon lol. You clearly don't know the definition of racism and how it works. Go to school. Read a book. Learn something. It's 2016, no excuse to be an uneducated dumb ass.

[@canrenjon07]

I really liked this episode. Its great to see other people perspectives of race in different countries. Can't wait for the next episode

[@ErikaCerese]

Love these videos!! Keep them coming =)

[@TheClodora]

Race in the UK is NOT THE SAME as in the US. In the US the majority of you guys go by the one drop rule thereby that girl in the video who said her mum was black and her dad was white would be called black. In the UK unless the girl calls herself black they are referred to as mixed not black. Both systems have their flaws because how much black blood does someone need to be considered black in America? Do you need to look at least slightly tan or can you look fully white but have a black ancestor? In terms of the UK one most people use the shade of your skin and your hair texture. If you are of a lighter complexion, with non kinky hair and you are not Caribbean then you are most likely to be called mixed. But if your of a lighter complexion but have kinky hair then you are called black. Both methods of categorizing people flawed because where do you draw the line that says who's black who's not?

[@RogerPowell8]

Everybody has pretty much got it spot on. It's not so much race anymore but class. I live in Hackney and at one point it was voted the worst place to live in England, not London alone, but England. Since then Hackney has seen a lot regeneration or gentrification and a lot more middle-class people want to live in Hackney. Hackney is seen as "hip" and "cool". I'm all for regeneration because it has brought a lot of business to the area and jobs too, but it's being done to the detriment of people like myself who have lived in Hackney our whole lives. The one thing I'm worried about is that with all the regeneration going on, I'll eventually be priced out of living in Hackney as all the rich middle-class hipsters that have swarmed to Hackney will drive the house prices up even more than they have done already. 

[@goonerpete4174]

Not just Hackney matey, you'll be priced out of London. All those moneybag "cool" people want there second home here for the weekends they wanna "pop up to town " and all the new properties they build are way out of working class peoples pockets.

[@RogerPowell8]

Gooner Pete Couldn't agree more mate. My housing association has built new rent to buy properties less than 5 minutes away from me. On Victoria Park Road and the surrounding areas, there are now million pound homes.

[@goonerpete4174]

Arsenal Till I Die Same wherever they're building bros, they market them as "rent to buy", but who can afford the effing rent..???

[@RogerPowell8]

Gooner Pete A mate of mine did that. He's got a flat on Richmond Road. Mortgage £600. Rent £400 per month.

[@goonerpete4174]

Arsenal Till I Die Whaaaaat, so that's costing him a grand a month, looks to me like he's paying rent and a mortgage, some motherf*^"*r is coining it out there...

[@draztik]

i always enjoy these

[@bravetherainbow]

This was great, can't wait for part 2. :)

[@ShweetNewKix]

4:37 That girl wearing the black cap is pretty hot imo.

[@StCloud-ns7vt]

"our culture is accepted but we aren't" super poignant

[@2bitgirly007]

Great episode. I love the comparison to different countries/cultures. We could all do with a little more perspective... Thanks for delivering the goods once again, iamOther!

[@BullShitThat]

GREAT show as always

[@TheBiggFrizzz]

Not from London but I've come across quite alot of racism tbh, mostly against asians, but against blacks and europeans aswell, saddest part is, alot of people I know that I know are racist, don't even know themselves that they are.

[@Caspers187]

What race are you ??

[@TheBiggFrizzz]

White/Black, double agent

[@Ririsasa822]

I agree it's just sad

[@TheBiggFrizzz]

I think if people just learned to not give a fuck about race, there would be so much less bullshit. People should learn to concentrate on shit that matters imo.

[@Ririsasa822]

Exactly stop seeing people for the color of their skin. And worry about the important shit some people just can't open their eyes and move on.

[@xzclaire]

no class system? paha

[@robertcastillo422]

Loved watching this

[@dhswl]

loved the editing for this video concise and the transitions are great

[@sossoft]

I dunno how it is in UK but i leave in UAE and I find British to be really racist and to think they are better than anyone. I didn't know much about british people before coming here but I can say now I would never want to live there. Let's say it probably doesn't help that class here is vastly influenced by nationality and most management position are held by British. But still... Well, maybe in UK they are different idk...

[@TheBiggFrizzz]

It's usually lower class chavs or people who arn't educated properly who actually engage in racial abuse, many higher class people even in political parties are racist too, search english defence league for example. The majority of middle-working class people though don't care what race you are, as English society is multicultural and it's normal to have friends of multiple ethnicities, ultimately though, racism exists everywhere you go, Im british and don't care about what race or background you have, and I know many people who arn't racist. It's best not to categorise how people are by what you may have heard or what you think people of certain nationalities are like. If you think about it, by saying you find British people racist, you yourself are becoming a racist, as I can confirm we are not all like that. Don't let one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch.

[@sossoft]

No, I'm talking about facts. Saying "I find" clearly implies I have observed. Come and live here and watch them act and you will see and hear how they speak. They will raise their voice to speak to Indians or Philipinos but be more polite when it is to Emiratis or other expats. It's not one bad apple but a whole bunch, dear. I don't care much how they act in their country but what I see here. And here, classes are often based on your nationalities which fuels race-based judgement. An employer will give better salary to a British and refuse to raise an excellent employee's salary because he's Philipinos. I don't care where a person comes from but where and how about s/he goes. I have little to no respect for people who are insensitive to social injustice. As for my comment, I was curious to know how they act in UK as it is very cosmopolitan. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheBiggFrizzz]

Ah right, I've never been to UAE so I can't say anything about that, I thought you were talkling about British people within Britain (my mistake), of course you could only form such a view by witnessing some form of racism in person, I was just letting you know we aren't all racists, hence "don't let one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch" (not to be taken literally), I couldn't really make out what you were pointing at but I thought I'd get my point across anyway. You're entitled to your opinion, if you think all British people are/aren't racist fair enough, nice speaking to you :)

[@sossoft]

TheBiggFrizzz No worries. I've also seen Black British nationals in Dubai who experienced racism (physical altercation resulting in hearing impairment for ex) in UK that's why I was curious abt there. I think there is also a difference between prejudice and racism hence not everybody is racist. Thanks for sharing too.

[@patshort177]

interesting. what are your thoughts on the way the uae treats migrant workers?

[@kaylajohnson8037]

THE BLONDE LOOKS LIKE CHRISTINA AGUILERA

[@BigGuyZee]

Its great to watch a Sterotypes epsiode that's in my city. I was nearby that area a few days ago as well. Looking forward to part 2.

[@MissJeriB]

This was very eye opening! i enjoyed this interview. I like seeing (even though some weren't so forthcoming with how they really felt) other countries view race and class! Might come in handy one day!

[@unpreeable]

i really dislike the host

[@BelleroseQC]

London no longer looks or feels English.

[@BelleroseQC]

***** No, it isn't.

[@BelleroseQC]

***** No, it isn't.

[@BelleroseQC]

***** No, it isn't, seeing as the English are the minority.

[@BelleroseQC]

***** The majority is not English. It's not a matter of birth.

[@BelleroseQC]

***** No, it isn't. The English are a white people. If you are a Pakistani or an African, you are NOT English.

[@ctllupo]

i love these

[@luvpurple95]

aw man cant wait for part 2

[@malong21]

Very insightful, thanks for posting these vids, I feel like I learn something everytime...no matter whether I agree or disagree

[@OhThatFashionDude]

First video I've seen in this series but I think it's fantastic. I absolutely LOVE the switch off between those who either don't want to be honest and speak from the heart or are just too ignorant to know what's going on around them versus the people who are just dropping the truth or at least what the truth seems to be. Oh, and Ryan Hall is pretty d-o-p-e.

[@iTzDark740]

There is so much knowledge in these type of videos.

[@SincerelyChrisandKim]

I really enjoy this video and hearing the different perspectives. We can really learn a lot from others by just listening.

[@LeeBoros]

In such a little time. Perfect!

[@ellebelle718]

I think this is one of the best episodes.

[@1phatboy83]

thats all i will remember from this eposide

[@Chibist1]

"our culture is accepted but we're not accepted" think that's a good point on another note LOVE Ryan Hall

[@MizzWonderrr]

Lol I love how the man at 8:10 says 'sure' but he shakes his head...thats his true opinion coming out

[@Shyvoice]

I love this

[@laurenbellamy]

Love this 👌

[@rodneyjohnson8148]

i love this show man. you so need a bigger platform. you are a great host: you educate and entertain.

[@DaiyaanWinston]

This segment was awesome!

[@whoyathought400]

I LOVE this show! A great mix of urban culture and consciousness! Brilliant!

[@Regina1ful]

Ryan Hall is the best... an excellent innovative show...make it longer please

[@konnie987801]

I like this across the sea stereotypes. Really informs me about things i never know go on

[@lushstrands]

Spot on!

[@QuePeaz]

Ryan you are my inspiration. Love the show and the bluntness about issue we don't like to talk about. These are dark issues. I don't think they will ever go away, due to the fact that there are people who want these issues to stay alive and poison society.

[@onlydebz]

this is exactly it. thankyou!

[@d1Netta]

I love that they took stereotypes abroad. So nice to see these issues addressed somewhere else other than the U.S

[@MJbeliever100]

so glad I found this channel.

[@is-a-belleee]

Great idea!

[@ninjablk007able]

I love this I really do

[@squirrelsinmykoolaid]

Wow. I feel enlightened. Also, it was nice hearing that one guy say "ghetto" haha.

[@omdway]

This show is great.

[@k2datrack]

haha... the way he says "So you're mixed"....hahaha!..

[@originalafro]

this makes me so happy that iamOTHER have come to the UK

[@InspiredGirl96]

[@IAMCurlyLocks]

A appreciate the diversity of the people that StereoTypes interviews...

[@Clacci38]

Great conversation...

[@Whispayt]

Absolutely, I'm proud to be from London.

[@mrplaywith]

Thank you. oh my god someone that understand

[@thatbloodygirl]

GOT IT IN ONE!!!!!!! Yes, nice work!! Seriously. I am born and raised in London and that is the absolute truth of my experience as a British person with a brown face. Its a class, race, accent, postcode, faith based system of exclusion or acceptance. The subtlety of how it is done in England is what seems to throw people off the scent. His comment about not serving you tea, that's about right! Go in peace people, love each other, speak the truth and boogie on! One Love

[@G6LS]

I been follow n the sent of weed all night then I found yal'l at the end! lol Real Talk!

[@trevymond]

"where is that line btw" LMAO DEAD ktt!

[@amster2007dam]

[@johnytwofeet]

Well done

[@Mason500.]

[@650beemer]

[@DrawSketchInk]

What you do is needed & ground breaking work fam I'm my eyes anyway

[@catymeky]

woop u came to london!!!

[@mirtica]

More races needed to be represented in this video but I still enjoyed your interviews of all. It's always interesting to see those who don't believe racism exists against those who do. Very telling.

[@Mbeebeelove]

I totally agree :-)

[@sherrineboseman-rives9385]

Please come to Montreal Canada we need your mic and satire!

[@cedfowler]

I really wish I'd bumped into you when you were filming this.

[@MEGIDIOT]

"Where's the line, by the way?" LOL

[@sweetpea160]

I love the intervies Ryan! 2 those that offended THEMselves when referencing the comments about "teeth" and "weed smell", this is about Stereotypes and confronting them head on. Lets stay focused one the purpose of the interviews

[@LeeBoros]

they were being the most honest as well.

[@holysaint3742]

lol, I spit my water out when I saw your comment with the profile photo, yeah, thanks a lot.

[@crudhousefull]

MANY Chinese living here. Decent people. Awesome people. Wish more would come.

[@KenjiSummers]

Ryan Hall is hilarious

[@YellowHypee]

9:18 holy shit! I bought that guys mixtape aha

[@FONGNICK]

1:36 looks around laughs like he's gonna get his ass whooped if he says the wrong thing lol

[@Kanyessa]

He went to Shoreditch...lots of the footage shot there.

[@MrBlindjay]

By your response you must be new here hi welcome to Ryan Halls hilarious interviews :)

[@raiseup1453]

Come to Geneva switzerland !!!!

[@pearly122009]

You came to my hometown and didn't mention it arrgggh man

[@Bellz89]

Cities like London are more integrated than the rest of the UK but I like that you highlighted a variety of opinions! x

[@RGH7100]

I live in a majority asian neighbourhood. Both my schools were 90% Asian- And I love my area and I really loved both my schools. But I do agree that areas where there is a majority group can feel intimidating if you're not used to it.

[@timbuktu777]

lool the invasion joke at 5:35

[@IamPetroX]

I ask this a million times, where do you buy your clothes Ryan? lol

[@saulya]

'if you've got money, you know, you don't necessarily have to have class'

[@SherineP]

"It would destroy the core." That's a powerful statement.

[@Anerdi1]

@Suzie Shackles You are so on point! I used to live in Birmingham, which further up north from London. I found lot of people from different cultures, particularly white people, more open about their racism or discomfort with me being around them. I also experienced the complete opposite of that too lol. Birmingham folks can be really friendly compared to folks in London. I used to find strangers greeting me and talking to me as if they've known me for years really strange but I got used to it

[@mangoesafar]

Nigel Stokes!! I must remember that

[@onyxgothicc]

Ahh the girl at 2:29 had on an MCR hoodie! Love her!
