UA 2017 Rethinking Race: "What We Can Tell"

[@pudapuda8753]

Omg i enjoyed this video so much please do more?i was hoping u showed all the people in the room dna results,this stuff is fascinating and very educational

[@ILoveMetalBoys1]

Marina's part about Bosnia and Serbia touched me the most. Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro we're definitely the same.

[@royperkins3851]

Marija Josipović nope your not culture isn't always about race the lack of respect for a different groups culture is what created the Balkans war problem one group thinking they can loop everyone into their nation by language yet ignoring their religion is a recipe for disaster, as a Scots/Irish northern Ireland decent I know just because you live in the same place and speak the same language doesn't mean you've the same culture! Respect the differences between you or the violence will return!

[@wendylady2488]

Children are just bratty to each other. I was the only protestant in my neighborhood. I was the only one without siblings. I was picked on for being, white, for being German, for having straight hair and freckles. For being the "new" kid in many schools. For being "smart". I did not take any of this as my fault per se. I wanted to be relate to Anne Oakley. Sadly, I am distantly related to Calamity Jane! I had friends of all ethnicities. I understood we are all the same, though others did not. My dad hated Jews and I laughed so hard to find his grandparents were Jewish! I imagine there is some "gypsy" in there, as they visited my great grandparents farm every year. We carry the genes of 8 generations, how can we not be a conglomeration? I welcome any and all cousins!!!

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, I'm sorry he feels that way. 13:47 but that was not racism. That was stranger danger. What he should have asked is for her to get an adult to come to the door. I wouldn't just like my young child open the door. He's calling her little girl so that means he doesn't know her and she doesn't know him.

[@klinzons]

Midnight exactly what I was thinking.

[@no_peace]

Thanks for explaining that to us 🙄

[@ljcl1859]

I was thinking that too, My kids aren''t allowed to open the door except for family.

[@ljcl1859]

What's the eye roll for?

[@ljcl1859]

Actually, I would have been very upset with that young man for even asking my little girl to open the door and let him in. He would have gotten a very prickly reception from my husband or myself if he had pulled that with our kids. He should have known better. You ask the child to get their Mom or Dad. His asking to be let in would have made me think he was up to something. Just FYI for anyone You also don't ask children for directions while sitting in your car, or ask them to help find your puppy, or offer them candy. In the U.S. that is just common sense.

[@JEREMY99218]

Race, Ethnicity, Culture and Nationality are not always congruent.

[@puncheex2]

Race is not even well-defined enough to consider congruence. As Darwin pointed out, every expert who defines races of man comes up with a different number of them.

[@lizvlx]

especially race coz thats a made up thing.

[@rwilliams2290]

I CAN'T BELIEVE NATIVE AMERICAN IS STILL BEING ASSOCIATED WITH INDIAN, AS OF INDIA. SMH

[@chickychikita]

or Indians -south Asians

[@masakali1974]

Jan Schlossar you’re Caucasian and those so called Indians are the real Americas!

[@jeffmorse645]

No, the father may well have been protecting his child from a potentially dangerous stranger. That is immediately what I thought when a strange male asks a very young girl to allow him in her protected space. It could have very well had nothing to do with "racism".

[@klinzons]

Jeff Morse that is exactly what I thought. People are just too sensitive and think racism is in everyone’s decision to do anything. The father would have done the same to a white man or even an unfamiliar woman of any race.

[@bjaquez6]

I dont know why i was so sensitive while watching this, but i realized, my hurts in life are not my children's.

[@niccoarcadia4179]

The culture one most adheres to seems to be a modern defining characteristic. Of course no matter how far into the future we've come, 'skin color will always be the determining factor in a stranger's eyes.

[@princetoni09]

I find chevonne reaction at 7:13 a bit funny. my belief is that she didn't want to be as much African descent as she actually is

[@no_peace]

People with African-American slave ancestry grow up with the idea that their ancestors were raped over hundreds of years. Hearing that you only have a little bit of that ancestry would be surprising for most people I think. Cut her some slack.

[@youruniquestyle]

wicious Nah I don’t think that was her reasoning. It was more from a place of self hate.

[@mcshllymc6656]

Sugarrr may not have been self hate. Maybe she had perception that if she was 85 percent she thought she would have been darker. I have whole siblings that are darker than her and our dna is 60 percent African

[@Trolando]

mcshllymc Me and my grandmother are lighter then her and I’m 90% African while my grandmother is 97%.

[@Trolando]

Sugarrr I agree; when I found out I was 90% African I was a little disappointed but the more I dig into my family history the prouder I became of being African

[@MegaJudyd]

I don't believe DNA from an ancestor gets lost, it may go dormant for a few generations then decides to show up again.

[@Rob749s]

That chime sound is unbearable

[@Trolando]

90% African here 🙌🏽 and loving it.

[@rattylol]

That last one was silly and just as much a biased as he thought the man was. Children should not be allowed to open a protected security door, it is better to have an absolute rule than have the child make the decision which may put them in danger.

[@LiLMissND]

rattylol - I thought the same thing. Unless the father said something pertaining to race or color. He assumed it was because of race/color. It seemed like a parent just protecting his child: "Never open the door for strangers". Its interesting how situations have such different viewpoints. Looking at the same picture with a different lens.

[@nakyer]

Is it always '50% from mom and 50% from dad'? Can it actually be more random a mix, like it works out 70% came from one parent and only 30 from the other?

[@chrisaddis3647]

It's always 50-50. You only get 23 chromosomes from each of your parent

[@puncheex2]

No, actually, it's not. The expected value of the the amount received from each parent is 50%, but there is variance due to "genetic recombination", which occurs in the meiotic stage of germ cell production. This makes it possible that the contribution from a great great grandfather might be altogether lost rather than the expected 6-7%. This recombination actually reshuffles the contributions from your grandparents, not your parents directly, but the effect is the same. Chris is correct, you do get equal contributions from your parents; it's just that their parent's contributions are mixed.

[@SolSkinn]

If you had a bowl of Skittles, each color representing an ethnicity, and you and your sibling each grabbed an equal amount, would you each have the same colors? No. It's still 50%, but you get it randomly.

[@no_peace]

They mean "yes it's always 50%." But it isn't always 25% from each grandparent, and definitely isn't 12.5% from each great-grandparent. One great-grandparent might not show up at all, especially if you're talking about estimated regional ancestry. I have 1% from one of mine. The estimation isn't that accurate and the actual DNA inheritance is lossy.

[@chickychikita]

You inherit from each parent a random 50 percent from each one .. You can not inherit 70 percent form one and 30 percent from another

[@audrey2047]

No the father introduced her to safty. Secured doors are there for a reason you cant just let anyone in. His protocal is to buzz his superintendent.

[@davidseabolt4419]

That was not racism at the end of video. Did you parents ever say don't speak to strangers when you were a kid?

[@carolynandrade2648]

excellent. thank you

[@nadialove2048]

What? Your hair color? I think red heads have the most beautiful hair color.

[@ace3442]

Yes its a bit outdated. We Irish come mainly from the Middle east and europe.

[@kingadziubak8139]

Why did they cut this girl Marina? White people experience racism as well!

[@ChuckieCOT]

Kinga Dziubak they can experience prejudice but not racism, there is a difference.

[@ChuckieCOT]

Amy K lmao you’re an idiot. Go educate yourself please. My statement is accurate based on the concept that race is a social construct. You probably don’t know what that means so I’ll let you run to google for a crash course and will accept your apology later. ✌🏼

[@NM-en6uj]

Can somebody please explain to me what 'Arab' is?

[@ahmedaldoori6221]

Transvester Maloney What do you mean?

[@ace3442]

If they have Irish they will always have Iberian peninsula. As this is Spain. The Irish originated in Spain.

[@wendylady2488]

Nell Rose The Irish did not originate in Spain, however, the Spaniards did invade Ireland, as did the Vikings, the Saxon etc etc. You would be hard put to find a PURE anybody.

[@ace3442]

Sorry to disagree Wendy but its true. obviously a lot of irish originated elsewhere. But if you think about it, Garda irish, Gardia spanish? Bit of a give away! lol! here's the proof. www.nytimes.com/2000/03/23/world/researchers-trace-roots-of-the-irish-and-wind-up-in-spain.html

[@no_peace]

That's one region in Ireland, bro Ireland's history is way more complex than that

[@bangtuhauptilagie4866]

that article is from 2000 and is not representing modern stand of science. the irish did not originate in spain wtf. look at genetic tests of irish people.

[@alexlindsey3385]

Nell Rose I’m 29% Irish/English but 0% Iberian. Your logic is greatly flawed

[@nadialove2048]

Just like she said Native American cannot be found in DNA or genes; the same as Hispanic and Asian and Jewish and British, they are ethnicity , you cannot find ethnicity in DNA, so these test are nothing but lies, that's like saying you're 20% Jamaican or 15% Australian, how the heck your DNA can determine you are part Australian or Jamaican?

[@no_peace]

That isn't how they work. They have panels of people who have ancient roots in each region and they sequence those people's DNA. When they sequence your sample, they compare it to those people's samples and tell you who you match with. Some companies (like ancestry DNA) separate populations by national borders and some companies (23+me) separate by region. That part is mostly arbitrary. But the actual comparisons for each region are scientific. It still doesn't mean the test is accurate for assigning ethnicities, but it does tell you how you compare to the reference panels for each region.

[@quiltygal6981]

You won't get Australian there is no Australian DNA, you have Aboriginal, all the rest is from Immigration. There is no British there is Irish/ Scottish/ Welsh Britain is a mix of those plus much more, Immigration has occurred all over the World which accounts for the mix .There are very few, usually Asian/ Japanese results that are a higher percentage. Doesn't mean it is a lie just that those Ethnicities like Jamaican are a mix of an awful lot of movement across the World

[@ChuckieCOT]

Not how it works, do the research then form your opinion. A native Australian would come up a Polynesian or from the aboriginal tribes, a current white Australian would find their roots trace directly from Europe not Australia. I can also vouch that the test is legit, I’ve had most of my family do it and we all linked correctly as family members without ancestry dna knowing this beforehand. How would the data correctly know thus unless our dna matched making it legit.

[@victoriap2519]

The Caucasus we identify if Georgia , Asetia,

[@ChuckieCOT]

I’m sorry but the White lady comparing her red hair as similar to skin color discrimination is nonsense, you can dye your red hair, people of color cannot change their phenotype. I know she was trying to relate but epic fail.

[@CS-qn7wm]

This shows that all people suffer some sort of persecution in their life and that DNA has nothing to do with culture, therefore this videos redundant.

[@heic1971]

Wait... people love redheaded women in the States...

[@robertturnip7850]

Yeah shes full of shit. She is probably talking about some stupid kid who teased her in 3rd grade.

[@rakimd5461]

Hei C you mean brunettes and blondes those are the favored hair colors

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, and I suppose fire crotch is a complement. The ginger jokes aren't nice either.

[@Orangestardust]

Girls can be mean.

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, not really, I'm just from a time where people didn't talk about a lady's crotch.

[@MohamedHassan-fq7fs]

Never seen hair on hair racism lol. Pathetic

[@Max42-42]

IF JEWS CAME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST , HOW CAN THERE BE EUROPEAN JEWISH ? CRAP

[@elaine8013]

Hebrews come from the middle east. Jews do not. They are not the same.

[@carolynandrade2648]

Iberian Peninsula= celt in my family

[@Orangestardust]

Iberian peninsula is Spain. Has nothing to do with Celts.

[@carolynandrade2648]

wrong. google it.

[@alexlindsey3385]

carolyn andrade I just googled it, came up with Spain/Portugal, you nitwit. Plus, I’m 29% Irish/English and 0% Iberian

[@nahiara8016]

Kaleem celts have a lot to do with Spain...

[@carolynandrade2648]

Iberian Celts. look it up. You are wrong.

[@EricLehner]

PC propaganda.
