I think he also wants to think that black people only dislike/deal with "severe racism" like the kkk and lynching, so he can feel like he's above that and not so bad. Like how he repeatedly has this power fantasy of someone calling him the n word while he's in blackface.

Bruno laughing and getting angry at Carmen censoring herself is truly terrifying. This whole experience I feel has genuinely made him more racist rather* than giving him a better understanding of being Black

[@DiMagnolia]

Absolutely. He walked in with deeply rooted biases and only wanted to prove them right, it’s confirmation bias.

[@AmyAberrant]

Nah I think he was always racist, this show just gave him an opportunity to be so more openly

[@k.k.7797]

He & Carmen broke up, at least as of 2016. I’m not surprised but I’m glad she’s no longer with him

[@boejudden9011]

Luckily I think it was a put on, because Bruno Marcotulli has several IMDB credits and this was prob deliberate on his part to get some reel footage. Which might be more frightening, because it was only about 15 years ago that Black people could so casually be used as the butt of a joke for someone furthering their own career and expecting no consequences for the impact. Let's remember how quick racism can recoup when people complain about "cancel culture"

[@frances_idfk]

Getting upset that black culture isn’t adhering to his whiteness is Bruno’s Brand™️ to a tee

[@voidify3]

He's hoping for them to do white jokes in order to vindicate him doing black jokes while being a white man

[@shirin9452]

You know what worries me? Is it because he’s spending all his time talking about them? Is he literally joking about black people 24/7? Black jokes are about black culture. Bruno doesn’t understand or try to understand black culture, all he does is criticize it. His foul rap showed that all he has is stereotypes. I mean I had no hope but it’s so irritating of him to not realize that he doesn’t get it because he’s an ignorant pos!! Sigh

[@brookejon3695]

It feels like a cheating partner constantly paranoid that the other person is cheating on them.

[@Ruminations09]

I've gotten to the point where every time Bruno looks like he's about to express any kind of opinion, I'm immediately cringing preparing for the worst. It's incredible that the person who didn't understand the problem with the phrase "black creatures" was the one explaining to him why he couldn't say the n-word.

[@LordPfrog]

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

"Hello there, person I perceive as akin to a sibling of sorts" "Wow, it's almost like he perceived me as a sibling of sorts!"

[@bluepheonix2455]

My perspective as a POC: I feel like Carmen is a well intentioned racist- she _is_ a racist person, but that racism is fuelled by ignorance rather than prejudice, and she’s _trying_ to learn and making an effort to be less racist, as she slowly realises throughout the show that she _is_ in fact racist. Rose seems like a genuinely non-racist person who is just ignorant (not just about race, but just judging by her word choice and inability to properly articulate her thoughts) because she’s young, and she’s looking at this through a relatively naive lens as a learning, growing experience, and honestly I agree that she is the protagonist of the white family. She isn’t racist, but uses racist terms that she doesn’t know are racist because she hasn’t been exposed to racism in any form, and she treats it like an opportunity to, as she put it, learn about the black American experience through a practical lens and try to understand it as best she can through a white perspective. Bruno is just racist, and looking for an excuse to not only validate his racism, but be _more_ racist. He doesn’t believe that racism exists, and sees difference in culture as an arbitrary contrast between ‘white’ and ‘black,’ and doesn’t realise that identity runs deeper than just the colour of your skin. He doesn’t understand the impact of slurs, racial privilege and discrimination, or generational trauma, and fundamentally misunderstands the difference between racial equality and equity.

[@colorbar.s]

This!!

[@amandahip]

This is extremely well written and summarizes the three differing perspectives of the white family very well.

[@018FLP]

100% accurate

[@Avistew]

I feel the same way and I'm relieved that you, a POC, see it the way I do! I'm white so I'm sure I don''t always notice these things although the whole series of videos by Jordan and Jarvis have been eye-opening (and so incredibly uncomfortable they're hard to watch, but I guess that's a good sign). Horrible thing that happened: so I've never just touched someone's hair, regardless of race, that would be weird, but in a recent video where they're together in person and I guess their hair is longer I had the thought of it looking like it would feel really nice and I was so ashamed and horrified because I thought that AFTER I learned that people have touched their hair (and compared it to a sheep's? WTF?) so in a way I don't know if I'm getting worse, or if it's the kind of fleeting thought I wouldn't have noticed as problematic before and that's why I don't remember ever having it? Either way I'm really sorry >.>

[@bluepheonix2455]

@@Avistew I’m middle eastern (west Asian & North African), so there’s people with very straight, very curly, and Afro textured hair in my family (I personally have straight hair), so please don’t feel the need to apologise to me, but also just know that there’s a big difference between asking someone to touch their hair and having a fleeting curiously when it’s brought up and from what I read, that’s exactly what happened so you’ve done nothing wrong. Please _do not_ ask anyone if you can touch their hair in future, it’s dehumanising and makes you feel like an animal in a petting zoo, but to sate your curiosity: it feels like hair. There’s many different hair textures for POC, but I assume you mean “black hair” or 4a-c hair. I have 1c hair, I have cousins with 4a hair, it just feels like really soft, thick curly hair. I hope that this answer suffices so you don’t feel the need to ask anybody to touch their hair in future, but there’s nothing wrong with being curious, it’s a natural part of being human. What matters is if you _act_ on that curiosity, which then becomes a problem.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

I think I get what Rose was TRYING to say, it's close to what the black woman (I don't know her name, if they even said it) was trying to explain. It's not that she's jealous that black people know, like, "my family comes from X region of Y country", she's jealous that a group of black people can often relate to each other on a level that a group of white people can't. Like in Jarvis' video, the kid like instantly bonded with the barber in the all-black barbershop, but Rose probably can't instantly bond with the white hairdresser at a random salon she's visiting for the first time. And of course *I'm* not saying that all black people are instantly friends with all black people they see literally everywhere all the time always

[@rexana_rexana]

This, i think this is what she was getting at.

[@JestersPrivilege18]

And because of Colonization, white culture is the default culture. Thus, EVERYONE has to except this culture. But African American people have their own culture and generational trauma that leads to common ground. White people don’t have that. I don’t think that Rose should be that upset about it, but I get what she’s saying.

[@shadowbunny7892]

For sure. I'm black, I grew up in a town with very few other black people but which was majority immigrants and I really related to what she was saying. There was just this inherent connection that they had being "outsiders," even amongst kids from different nationalities. Whenever a new kid showed up that was also an immigrant/kid of an immigrant they were just instantly absorbed into a social group. I used to be really jealous of that, and I'd feel bad about feeling that way because I knew how socially and economically disadvantaged a lot of these families were. It's a very teenaged perspective, I think. They're hardwired to care about having a group and an identity more than anything and it sucks to feel like other people were born with that and you weren't.

[@alliebonesVODs]

I think that's just a natural instinct thing for people - people who are in the minority of any group can recognize someone who is more similar to themselves than the majority of people, and feel like they know more about that person than they do others. Like if you're an American and move to Europe, and you happen to meet another American, you can automatically assume that you have had similar experiences and have an immediate commonality with them that you don't with anyone else you meet.

it’s funny how history will only look back on bruno and this show with less and less controversy as to whether or not he’s racist. in his time the argument could be made that “he’s not a real racist!” but now, 2022, everything he’s saying is so taboo and genuinely shocking. like he is the most racist, modern person i have seen that is so unabashed in their racism yet so ignorant to the fact that they are. idk if i’m making any sense but i feel like it’s going to be similar to how we look at the 1950s now and are like “now that’s REAL racism” and those people were like looking at slave traders and the KKK and like “no THOSE are the real racists” we (white ppl) keep distancing ourselves from it, like it’s a problem of the past. it just keeps getting more and more nuanced, insidious and harder to detect.

[@mr.goldfish1530]

You're absolutely right. Instead of trying to tear it out at the root people point to the horrific shit in our history textbooks and say "that was really bad but everything's fine now" and then go back to eyeing up a black person in a store.

[@dawn8293]

I think the lesson I should take from Bruno is to be empathetic and listen to the experiences of others and educate myself on the issues. It's not so much about the exact things he says, I think, as it is the absolute refusal to be humbled and educated by this experience. If he did humble himself, he would learn to stop saying those things, and he would also not be as subject to the more insidious racism that you reference.

[@kiralonely]

Even in situation where he's in blackface and listening to black comedians and their jokes are clearly more catered to the experiences and stories alongside black culture, he still managed to make it all about himself and white people. Like, "they should've done more white jokes, I thought that's what this was all about." Like dude, do you think that's the only thing black people experience that's different than white people, the only thing they could joke about, the only interesting thing in their life? Like no shit, black people are...wow guess what, people, and they have other shit to joke about other than white folks. Like, we ain't the most important thing all the time, and just, the fact that he assumed it would be all about him and his race, in a black-catered comedy club, is like, so telling. EDIT: I write all this out while it's paused, press play, and Jordan and Jarvis play off of the exact same point I was trying to make, oops.

[@joaoprabelo]

I think I have another view as to why Bruno felt bothered on the lack of white jokes. I believe in his head, black people does joke about white as they do, which is not the case. It felt to me that he wanted to get the validation in form to say "you see? they joke about us, why can't we keep doing the same?" And then reality came in. Black people basically live their lives. We're living our lives, despite the willingness of the likes of Bruno to seize this. And that's what bothered him in the whole show

I know this is not a history lesson channel but 18:10 Slave Traders and Auction houses regularly separated families as they were sold because that also depowers them as people, plus why would you care when you think of them as livestock. Many African American last names are based on the slave owner's names or names they gave them that usually can trace them back to their plantation/owners. Children of Slave couples were often sold back to slave traders as ways to make money, and Slave women were even raped by their owners to produce more slaves stock. This is where light-skinned slaves come from, and they get treated as house slaves in a similar manner that really has more to do with more abuse and manipulation.

[@littlemissmello]

Right, one of my best friends is married to a black man (sorry for saying white shit like this haha) and his (family's) last name is 100% his ancestors' slaver's name. I talked with him about how he felt about that and he goes through moments where he's like "fuck if I care, it's _my_ name now" and then "ew gross" the next moment. It also feels weird (not a good word but I can't really think of a better one right now) that you can't really find out about your own family with your own name, just some other terrible other guy's family. If I look into my last name, I can go back many generations and find out all I want. I know exactly when my family moved to the city I live in and where they moved from, I know what they did for jobs, what addresses they had, what diseases they died off etc. He can only find out this information about the guy who used to enslave his family.

What do you want to bet the producers pulled Bruno off to the side and told him they'd give him an extra $500 each time he said a slur?

Carmen changing her perspective and behavior and trying to explain to Bruno why the word is wrong is very admirable. It’s sad he wouldn’t listen to her because she was saying it in a way he’d try to understand and he still wouldn’t listen

[@starmilkman9412]

You guys should probably label these with "Part 3" or something because I almost ignored this thinking I'd see it already. Also it'll incentivise people to find the rest of the series

Holy shit I was not expecting the five piece combo from Bruno. Edit: this man had his wife literally explain to him WHY /HE/ can't use the word and he goes "well that just feels paranoid to me"??????

He thinks people don't say it out of fear instead of not saying it out of respect.

[@Imowe_]

Bruno: They’re not talking about hating whites & not having dads…I DONT GET IT!!! Bruno’s cognitive dissonance is so strong that he can’t compute black people having normal lives, thoughts, & ideas that has nothing to do with white people😂 Bruno before the show: I bet the blacks are gonna be racist & talk about hating white people!🙄 Bruno after: …I wish they were more racist so I could complain about it😪

I’m oddly happy that he referred to them as “members of the Wurgles.” Only one of them has the last name “Wurgle.” They lied about Bruno’s career and embellished his relationship with Carmen. Just choose Bruno or Rose’s last names. Whatever. Team Wurgle generally sucks

"Identity Fraud: Blackfaced" should've been the name of this show because that's quite literally what the premise is.

[@sideways5153]

I really want to give Rose the benefit of the doubt for not being able to repeat what the poetry group explained to her, because her main takeaway seems to have been the emotional realization that she is not and cannot be as close to these black friends and mentors as she imagined she already was. The explanation can only come after she processes the fact that she is not, in fact, part of the group, and that makes it hard for any explanation to really sink in. Lol not to minimize real issues that POC face, but as a white person the biggest pill to swallow is usually that you’re not allowed in the club, that you really can’t understand what someone is living with, or that you don’t have anything to contribute (or are being harmful/invasive/disruptive by attempting to contribute). People don’t really recognize how hard a pill that is to swallow, and it holds back discussions a lot of the time. The well-meaning white people are aware that something is different and try to do what black authority figures advise them to do, your Carmens and Brunos get defensive or self-righteous when told they should back off if they really intend to be respectful, and POC honestly just get saddled with all the work of playing therapist to themselves and to the white people. It’s such a consistent friction and it’s frustrating how little it’s really acknowledged, so tbh I’m kinda glad that Rose is even able to accept that she can’t do black face and just be accepted as part of the group. It’s better than her parents are doing, and she’s not really getting any help from white people on how to manage her whiteness responsibly. Maybe that’s too much benefit of the doubt, but I really relate to her experience of starting to understand this stuff and hope she’s at least as good a person as I am 😅

I just cannot fathom how nobody during the planning, filming, and editing of this show, that nobody just stopped to ask... "Why?"

[@brianford4914]

Rose...doesn't know how to talk. She'll say things but it won't make sense. Like she says "unspoken family" even though they say brother and sister out loud, what she really means is "A sense of community" which white people don't have. Then she talks about black people knowing where they're from when she truly just means black people will want to be with other black people. Rose is that white girl who thinks she's saying some like poetic thing about social issues when in reality she is either saying nonsense or the exact opposite of what they mean.

[@lareinabrown]

This just unlocked a memory. When I was like probably 9 or 10, I went to my cousin’s (she’s my moms best friends daughter) Halloween birthday party, where they were doing a costume contest and you wanna know who won??? This dude who dressed up as a nurse in head to toe blackface. When my mom told me she was like “yeah that dude wasn’t even black!” Like she was impressed that he managed to fool everybody. Just looking back on it that’s so weird??? Like there were adults at this party and idk if nobody said anything but I mean like he still won??? I live in the Deep South and by no means does it make that okay but racism was so normalized and it just astounds me that grown adults and teenagers looked at that and was like “yeah this is fine. Matter of fact, this is COOL”

[@lareinabrown]

Also the girl whose birthday it was, I think it was her 16th birthday so she was a good bit older than me. Also it was such a vague memory bc I was like hyper focused on stealing as many rubber ducks as I could😂 and that was the night that I decided I collect rubber ducks😂

[@rexana_rexana]

I was going to write a whole long comment about what exactly that one girl said regarding matching cultures. It is a little unfair because Rose didn't choose to shed her immigrant culture, but she can try her best to relearn it, especially if it's European based. That's a little of what I've had to do being mixed Middle Eastern. But what the poetry group said was correct. Having friends of other cultures and races is great but you meet someone of matching culture and it is an instant connection and instant community. It's nice. It's a relief. it's a security. IDK, that's my two cents.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

Rose being here reminds me of Maddie Zieglar starring in that Sia autism movie. Like she’s doing her best but this will only reflect badly on her, and it’s unfair.

[@alphablythe9634]

I bet Bruno would confidently ignore a person's pronouns. He's already ignoring all social boundaries of basic respect, like letting someone finish a sentence or talking over someone in order to be heard first because he thinks what he has to say is more important.

[@bellac6311]

no no. he wouldnt ignore someones pronouns...he would ask their pronouns so he knows exactly which ones NOT to use....and then use those

[@oddleopardkai5949]

I’d never be able to watch this show on my own, but yall make it funny! & Bruno seems like the type of guy that would lecture me about how I’m too light skinned to call him out for him using the n word.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

Okay not to discount their experience, but in high school I did a sociology experiment where I smiled and said "hi" to every person I saw for two days, and it freaks people out. Some people are like "Oh, hi! :)" but most people just get startled by it. I'm sure part of their experience was because they're a group of ostensibly black people in an upper-class predominately white shopping area, but part of it was definitely just because it really makes people uncomfortable when they're greeted by strangers on the street.

[@scribliez]

I think it depends on where you’re from. When I lived in the Southern US it was v normal to greet and smile at strangers but in Northern States like New York it’s seen as bizarre and startling.

[@LightningMcqu33f]

Lol yea I was gonna say, whenever random people say hi to me on the street, I literally never respond because I’m caught off guard. Regardless of race. I’m Sure that did play a part in some of the responses here, but their experiments are not complete I feel. Like they would need to do the same thing with rose in her “white skin” lmao and see if the response is diff.

This show makes me so very uncomfortable its crazy. I actually cannot watch this show with feeling extremely uncomfortable. Its repulsive how blatantly racist some of the people in the show are and how absolutely no one calls them out. I really wish that someone with actual competence sat everyone down and gave them a simple explanation of how the things they did were wrong, racist, or rude. Especially the Weurgers, or whatever the white family was called. Anyway thank you Jarvis and Jordan for making this painfully intolerable experience somewhat bearable.

[@Dr.PicklePh.D.]

"I'm not a part of the group, I can never be ;-;" maybe it's because you're approaching this like an experiment (and also the blackface). so my coworkers and I are mostly equal parts white and hispanic, but we have a couple black people, a couple asian people, and one middle eastern person. it is not hard to a) accept that everyone has parts of their life you are welcome to and parts you are not, and b) just be normal? we have achieved synergy and even friendship by following these two simple steps. it is a scientifically proven fact that groups accept you better when you're not acting like a weirdo

18:07 😮😮 that had to be the most insensitive or thoughtless statement ever. She doesn't know her heritage because she doesn't care. Even us Africans don't have much written history for so many years back, everything including family tree is by word of mouth, but she probably has pictures of her ancestors from 200 years ago, and if she wants she probably would be able to find her way back to Adam: ok maybe not that far back, but she has her history. Every black person has something in common, we have little or no evidence of our history, no pictures or books, the sculptures that existed from ancient times in many places ie Benin Kingdom, have been destroyed or in foreign museums.
