"Brown Hands Don't Sell Jewellery" is the most ignorant thing I have heard ever like have you seen Indian jewellery they are absolutely masterpieces
@Hector Fontanez you're absolutely right
Indian jewelry modeling is still white or light skin dominated
@@bloodsugar4092 I thought it was on jewellry making that's why I responded that way but I think brown or dark skin make certain types jewellery shine more like white skin does.
@@carolinpurayidom4570 oh my bad. What I meant was that the modeling/bollywood industry favours white or light skin often that even our own native indians dont get to do these gigs while white or arab looking foreigners are booked at one glance.
And yes we DARKER brown desis look fly af wearing jewelry. ❤
@@bloodsugar4092 yeah I know what you mean colorism is huge problem in India
It makes me happy that she’s been successful after the bake off. She’s popular because she’s a fun, engaging person.
She is like a ball of pure light. Everything about her is bright and full of sweetness. I mean, it's amazing.
I watched her entire winning episodes of TGBBO. She was delightful, so artistic and creative. Big fan.
I don’t watch Bake-off, but she does seem like a laugh here!
what’s your favorite song off of Blue Banisters?
She's also beautiful..
The bizarre thing is that South Asian people wear tons of jewelry. We are obsessed by it!! If the jewelry they were selling was any good, their sales would probably go up.
Exactly 😂
even to the grocery store. I can attest this. lol
The jewelry sold and purchased by the white ladies usually has no resale value.
@Nina true lol…my wife is from SE Asia (I’m Brit born Asian) and I always tell her if she wants to buy gold jewellery to buy from ‘back home’ as we don’t have that 7ct nonsense lol……everything is 24ct. Gonna spend money, may as well go somewhere that gives you the best quality ….why pay 24ct prices for less quality hahahaha….can’t help but think our western country’s attitude to jewellery is like that “emperor’s new clothes” story where no one wants to admit, a lot of it is overpriced kak lol
South Asian people, not in South Asia 🤔
I love the look that Lady Gaga gave Nadiya after she told her story, and then Nadiya gave her one back. So empowering.
Right??! It was like, giiiiiiirl!
@@lisaallen9578 yes I loved it.
Surgical steel, silver and white gold jewelry look amazing on black skin 😍
Lol
She’s overbearing and overrated
"Olaf you can't talk like this. Stop"😂😂😂
Best comment ever 😂. Great comedic timing.
What did he say , couldn't understand? :(
I don't know the context. Are they friends?
@@iamdewhe voiced Olaf in frozen and she has 3 children so I’d assume she’s been subjected to his voice a LOT 😂 but not in the capacity of witty/edgy talk show jokes
The thing that's even more upsetting is you can hear in her voice how effected she still is, just talking about it. If you haven't experienced racism, you don't know the impression it leaves on you. The hurt is so deep.
Racism is like a deep wound that does not heal. Time is not a healer. You see the world. You see the injustice people of colour have to suffer every day. You see that there is no change in the mindeset of white people. So, I am feeling her pain this never healing wound causes. I share this wound. It hurts everyday.
Gary Most people forget rude comments in their lives and move on. The reference to skin colour makes a great anecdote for these contrived shows of course though.
@@MelancholischerMond please ignore ignorant misinformed comments, I stand with you, sis!
You give racists power when you get hurt by their opinions. If you were to ignore/dismiss them you're the one with power, even more if you do it in a snobbish manner.
There's no facts backing racism, it's just mere opinions and it's your choice to get hurt by them.
Nadiya is great! Man, racism sucks. Nobody should be treated the way that modeling company treated her.
Doesn't mean the person who told her black hands don't sell is racist tho.
@@iamironclaw Sure she was. Open up a magazine today and you will find brown hand models. But people 5-10 years ago just assumed that “brown hands don’t sell jewelry.” It’s like what they said about black movies in the US not selling. That is, until the dollars proved them wrong,
That’s the whole modelling industry thought…
@@Mis4nthropist That's not what he's saying. Just because a business feels a specific way doesn't mean they're racist. You've never heard of the Housing Market? Realtors don't like selling houses to black people in white neighborhoods because it brings the prices down on houses. Doesn't mean the Realtors are racist. It's a business. It's stupid and it sucks I'm with you on that but it doesn't inherently become racist. That's the societal creation.
@@free22 See above comment. No she isn't inherently racist because of what I just said above which is a fact. Business is business. Whatever sells, people will make it sell the best way they can.
The smirk Lady Gaga and Nadia shared after that anecdote is is an absolute mood and I'm LOVING IT.
Gaga and Nadiya communicating to each other with just their eyes. Women empowering women! Yaasss
"Olaf, you can't talk like this" has me in TEARS 😂
To my many lovely, well-educated, middle-class white friends who think ethnic minorities "milk" the "racism card", Nadiya's example is typical of everyday casual racism that happens right now. If you found this story appalling, I welcome your active allyship.
During freshers week, I first time moved away from home and I was surrounded by white, middle class kids. I was asked if my African family danced around the fire. The next day I was told it was "ethnic banter".
Just a few things.
1. It happened almost 20 years ago.
2 You just have to take her word this happened.
3 Why not name and shame which agency did this, as it's discrimination and illegal.
@@AfroGaz71 chances of this happening are astronomical, white people are notorious for being virulently racist regardless of if it was 20 years ago or this morning.
@@Tracymokwe You sound pretty much like a racist yourself.
@@AfroGaz71 Lmaooo
You sound ridiculous, how am I racist for saying white people have the tendency to be virulently racist, it’s a fact .
That’s crazy. Gold jewelry - especially - looks beautiful against brown and black skin!
If you’re warm undertones. Some dark skin is cool undertones and looks better with silver jewelry. Very deep blue-leaning skin tones look wonderful with silver jewelry.
I suppose it depends on the market you're trying to sell to.
Couldn’t agree more!
White hands still sell more jewellery.
Brem I wonder if this would be a great scandal if a white woman in Nigeria had been told that white hands don't sell jewellery? I doubt it.
The fact is, people like to see models that reflect themselves in some way. It's human nature. And given the majority of the UK is still white...it's no surprise that white hand models might sell jewellery better. It's just common sense...which seems to be in short supply.
Glad Nadiya got a gripping story for the show though.
love that look of understanding between underdogs who made it big time being passed between nadiya and gaga
yes yes yes. that was so beautiful and encouraging
Lady Gaga became world famous in her early 20s. Hardly an underdog.
I adore how she doesn't admonish Josh, but Olaf.
Josh? She was having a blast with him!
Olaf? Proper mum mode 😅 bless her!
I love Nadiya. She seems like the type of person who's so down to earth, hardworking and deserves all the success she's had. I work as a housekeeper and we're allowed the tvs on while we clean rooms. When her show comes on I'm doing the beds extra slow so I can catch all the recipes haha!
😀
"Brown hands don't sell jewellery"... Its even worse considering how beautiful she is.
They should go to India and see, the jewelry market there is just massive.
Well that makes no difference. This is about racism not a beauty contest. Not even so-called plain looking people.
No, it's even worse considering who ends up buying more jewellery than the Russians or the Chinese, who are the only "light-skinned" people REALLY into it.
What's hand modelling got to do with looks?
Gary Reilly the agency literally told her that the look of her brown skin tone does not sell jewelry, hence she was turned away and no one in that room contradicted that claim.
Not only can those beautiful brown hands model but they baked a cake for the queen
Well, a really wonky one though. Wasn't her best cake. 😃
@@eily_b I'd like to see you try. 😏
I appreciate your sentiment, but who cares about the anachronistic, pompous institution that is the so called royal family? Means nothing. The so called queen is just an ordinary human being like you and me. Worse, in many ways.
Eily Bergin was an embarrassing cake. Can't believe she presented that to the queen.
She did much better work on the bake off itself.
That the queen didn’t eat lol. The cake was awful.
I really hope whoever told her such a racist thing is watchng this and feels mortified. And I love that Nadya is able to tell this story from the triumphant position she is in now
Racism is so casual. The person who said probably didn't even remember that or the small acts or racism they do everyday unfortunately. And if you were to point out they'll be all like "oh I am not racist. I didn't mean it like that" smh
It still exists for the Indian male!
We can only tell our stories from positions of triumph. Otherwise we are seen simply as victims.
Oddly enough, we South Asians are obsessed with gold and try to buy some whenever we can afford it.
South East Asian here! Gold is an investment and beautiful.
Spot on! They're sure missing out on a key demographic obsessed with buying what they're trying to sell 🙄
Cause y’all look gorgeous with it lol
They go for fair skinned models in India too..
true and since she is of bangladeshi origin she probably has more idea about jewellery than they ever will
'Olaf you can't talk like that.' Got me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Olaf, you can’t talk like this” 😂😂
That’s so stupid because gold jewellery looks absolutely stunning on olive undertones & brown skin…
My exact thought.
Right?
Thank you I have olive undertones I appreciate it! ☺️
how is it stupid when other's beauty preferences contrast yours?
Like I say, it’s jealousy. Simple jealousy.
Nadia is such a survivor. To go from having her head flushed down the toilet by school bullies. Because she was too dark, to this. Amazing.
Omg did she really get bullied at school because she was too dark?
@@CrizzyD91 Yup very very badly.
Oh no poor lady! I’m so glad she got this far and rose up!
Wow😰😰😰 just wow. No one should ever have to go through such a horrible experience🥺
Wonder what the bullies are doing now. Probably cleaning toilets !
As a Bangladeshi, I am so proud of her! 💚💚
Really. Did u c the state of BD. There's nothing to be proud of. Its a shithole.
the look gaga and nadiya give each other is just so surreal and amazing 0:55
Nadiya always classy,I love her quiet strength. I love watching her become so successful! ❤️
I love Graham Norton for bringing Nadia to the show... No one has the audacity to showcase Muslim community ...this is lovely
Lol all the media do this all the time
@@matheuslima9445 yes, they do. Some people like to create new problems.
Are you serious? The media in the UK bend over backwards to be as diverse as they can! It can’t really be anymore in your face.
@@jamiew1664 'in your face' made me laugh considering it's really not
@@starryxblue course it is, half of everyone on the telly are not white, that’s pretty diverse!
Nadiya makes me proud to be British.
She's one of our Great Britons. 🥰
She’s great . She’s popular as she’s a genuine person
She’s an exceptional blend of a person, traditional, yet very progressive. Respectful, but not too rigid to flash two birds on tv. :)
Some of the most beautiful gold bracelets I have seen have been on India merchant's wrists, and in Bolivia the silver is just gorgeous on the hands of the local people!!
This woman is phenomenal, I discovered her cooking programme only yesterday and just love listening to anything she has to say. What an amazing charisma! Plus she's gorgeous :)
I love her so much. I was routing for her throughout that season of GBBS and I actually cried when she won. One of my male friends watched it with me later and he did too. Just... I just love her. Feisty.
✨A moment for the look between Gaga and Nadiya at 0:56 ✨
Brown hands look great wearing gold. The contrast between the skin tone and shiny yellow of gold make them outstanding.
Nadiya with the double bird - she always surprises me - love her!
I love seeing Nadiya on Graham Norton. She's been on so many times now.
What a beautiful young woman who has incredible talent not just as a chef but as a strong woman, very very beautiful. 👍👍👍
"Brown hands don't sell jewellery." They do, I bought several rings off a guy in a market in Turkey🤣🤣
Turks generally have tanned hands rather than "brown" unless that man was ethnically not turkish?
Oh I just love her! What an amazing vibe and energy she carries with her. Her shows on Netflix are my happy place 😊 ☀️
Nadiya is amazing, so happy for her well deserved success. She's down to earth, extremely relatable,funny,kind, and talented.
She's like the best friend you look forward to hanging out with, whether it's in a kitchen,shopping, or just relaxing and talking.
She deserves the very best of everything life has to offer.
🏆👏👍⚘⚘⚘
Love her. She is so funny and beautiful and well put together and just really good to watch. Overall talented woman
Aw love how supportive Josh Gad was in this
she was my absolute fave on bake off :,))) she seems so so sweet
I'm absolutely proud to share the same ethnicity with Nadia. Yeah, the 'right' kind of skin can give you privileges in an ignorant society, but if you have the right kind of brain, nothing can stop you.
🙌🏿🙌🏿
Well said Brother🙌🏿
I've worked with many women who had lovely brown skin, and extensive jewelry collections. How very ignorant.
I can't be the only one who thinks it wasn't racist to say that. Sure, it's a bit direct. But.. look at it as a company. If you know for a fact that brown hands sell less jewelry because the majority of the target demo are whites... Then, it's just a statistical observation. It's not racism.
Love her. Such an eloquent lady.
She is beautiful and talented
Olaf flipping the bird is not shocking. But Nadia doing it freaked me out 😂😂
My goodness, Nadiya really is quite stunning. A very beautiful woman.
She’s funny and talented! Love her energy 👏🏽
Love Nadiya. So happy for her success
Wow. I can't believe she told her that "brown hands don't sell jewelry".... Extreme ignorance. My pasty white hands wouldn't sell anything, period.
You've just made me laugh so loud, must have woken up my neighbours 🤣🤣🤣
I agree, my pasty white body would scare a ghost!
I hope that biatch of a woman saw this! 😂 🤣
C'mon now, it's all good. 😉👍🏽 It's good to support anti-racism, but you don't need to put yourself down. You are not representing the racist white people after all.
@@burntsoup um, people can think whatever they want. As per George Orwell's book, there are no thought police, yet.
The person who turned her away is obviously not aware of how much Asians particularly love their jewellery - proper jewellery as well, not the low rent 9ct gold predominant here.
The lady is probably well aware that white hands still sell more jewellery even in much of Asia.
I love Nadiya! So happy for her success!
She's got such a good personality. I like her
She's so beautiful and talented. I loved her documentary too of her going to see her grandparents.
This whole video makes my day lol. Nadiya is a queen and that look between her and Lady Gaga was perfect, THEN Olaf double birds the camera. Masterpiece lol.
Her brown skin looks amazing in that dress.
She's stunning wow
I love Nadiya. Very beautiful classy and talented woman!!
It's the “Olaf, you can't talk like this.” for me 😭😂🤣
Nadiya is a national treasure. Love her!
She’s adorable! 🇨🇦
Nadia is one beautiful and talented lady .☘🇮🇪
I love her style!!
Jewelry looks absolutely stunning on darker skin tones, it pops so much in ads, especially gold jewelry! Some of the best jewelry ads I have ever seen are of POC. It’s sick that some racists think only white skin can be beautiful 🙄 So happy for her success loved her on bake off! Such a fun personality and absolutely gorgeous
All about time and patience
We are the change. Respect. 👏🏽❤️✌🏽
That was hilarious, the last bit with the middle fingers.
The irony is that brown hands have most of the world's jewellery.
I love Nadiya!!!! May Allah bless her with success in this world and the next! -American convert to Islam❤️🌷
I love Nadiya's style.
She looks amazing!
She’s stunning 😍
Seriously! I went to Senegal back in 17, we are a group of friends from Asia, Europe, Africa and America, basically as diverse as it gets skin colors wise. We all bought those handmade silver bracelets in Dakar, and while they look alright on me (im Chinese and it was actually a gift for my mom) and my white friends, it looked absolutely stunning on my black friends, especially my congolaise friend who was the darkest of us all. Silver looks amazing on dark skin.
*As a person of color..I'll be the elephant in the room and say this doesn't surprise me at all when people in my own community are secretly bleaching their skin. When many (but not all) dark skinned women are shown pictures of dark or light skinned models..they tend to say the lighter skinned ones are prettier. When dark skinned straight men (but not all) are given a dating choice..they are notorious for passing up dark skinned women for the lighter skinned ones. And when skin lightening creams..from expensive Shiseido to cheap Ponds..are the number one selling skin creams in Asia and Africa. Our community needs to look in the mirror and fix ourselves before we ask others to treat us equally. Stop saying "Dark Is Beautiful" while secretly slathering on skin lightening cream that has made you 5 shades lighter than last year. And NO..most people don't have vitiligo..lol.* 🤨🙄
Yes! I have vitiligo and I'll never lighten my skin.
@@mariariarocks I'm sorry you have Vitiligo. But what I meant is that many people of color are lying about having it as an excuse to bleach their skin..just like Michael Jackson did. I hope you are happy the way you are and do what is right for you.
when even dark skin men refuse to marry a dark skin women it, hurts the most
It pains me to hear her story.. bless her for making a career on her own... ❤❤❤
One of my fave people from bake off! Lovely to see her on stage with the likes of Gaga!
Go Nadiya go!
Love you Nadiya💗 you're an amazing woman 👏👍
Nadia i love watching you on tv you are a natural born presenter please keep it up
Well said, Nadiya!!!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love Nadiya so much
Any jewelry looks good on any skin color! I agree with her!
Love love love her ❤
I love her!
I don't know about bake off show but i saw her on her Netflix show. She is so Lovely person and so positive. Love her so much 💞
I love Nadiya!! 🖤
You go girl! You are gorgeous inspiring and beautifully brown!!!! All skin colours are beautiful - that’s what makes the world so beautiful ❤️
I didn't like her to begin with but now I'm beginning to like her.I think she is super cool!
i love her :)
LOVE her
I love her
I would've laughed out loud if I were her! 😂 That was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
Good for her.
I don't know who she is but she's beautiful and has an amazing personality.
Hadn't heard of her either but was totally enamored by her personality, wit and beauty. Definitely going to look up her cook book.
Nadiya is a queen.
She should have gotten back and do the Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman... hahaha
"Big mistake. Huge."
check out Nadiyas 5 minute crispy egg rolls. I have them for lunch all the time now. so delicious.
In addition to that horrific racism, WTF - gold and silver look so fantastic against brown skin, just as a matter of design. Idiots. I love Nadiya, totally cheered her on during the GBBS, and just enjoyed watching her Netflix show. That moment between her and Gaga: priceless.
