Let's be clear, Most people don't care about "DISCRIMINATION" unless it effects them.
*affects
James D.H. They never said they were like that themselves. It’s true
I think we all knew that bro
James D.H. You’re delusional, Asians hate White People, it’s just that Western Countries have historically treated Chinese immigrants very well.
Actually many black people are capable of empathy and care about other races that face racism because we are the most hated people on earth, we know how it feels to be persecuted and disrespected
when I was still living in China, we had an African American teacher who taught us English. He was the first foreigner I've seen, and all my classmates were so curious about him and followed him everywhere. We would play with his hair and cling onto him because he was super tall and always smelled really good. I think many people in China have never seen foreigners, and it's important to be educated so we don't disrespect them and their culture.
...it was in kindergarten lol that's why we were thick-skinned enough to cling to him
@@chickenwings242 Oh thank God. I was imagining the strangest class of college students in existence.
@@chickenwings242 thank goodness for that context 😅
Lmao I reread it and thought it sounded weird myself🤣
Getting followed by Chinese women would make me smile forever lbs
The black girl at the end seems like such an insightful and educated person. She provides really interesting commentary, I find.
@LetMeSeeThis99 I was born in a Post Soviet Union Country and I can confirm it is ABSOLUTELY true.
In the 90s and early 2000s, people were doing sometimes black face on TV. However, it didn't carry the same historical baggage than in the Western Countries. Actually, I don't even remember black people being portrayed in a negative way. It was usually done to show them as exotic, as the only point of contact we had with people of color were african students comming to study in the country.
In that regard, American Movies did a lot more harm, as even without black face, they usually showed african-americans as criminals.
I find it a bit arrogant how people assume that history of the World is equal to the history of the Western Countries. However, it is the prevalent way of thinking and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
she is a very lovely and classy person. I admire her
I find her the same way, she’s class and seems quite intelligent. And very beautiful too.
listen to her she is right! Black, Asian American or any other minority will never become president of the United States of America never and ever will be that is a fact! unless white people stop being racist and hate. Treated everyone equally!
am i the only one massively confused how they couldnt tell it was a chinese woman in makeup
It's kind of obvious after I knew it. She has a different face and accent. But when I watch the show I really don‘t think of it.
Well they were watching on a small screen in the sunlight so they may not have seen it so closely is my thinking as to why, but they probably just saw dark skin and didn't think about it in that way that it could be all makeup.
i thought the skinny one was actually black at first
People might disagree, but feature wise Africans and Asians share similar facial structures like eyes and noses. Africans can look quite Asiatic in certain places. There's also that people only see skin color at times as well.
Because they were watching on a tiny screen outside that wasn't even in landscape mode. They hardly could have made out anything on there but a brown person in colorful clothes.
“do you think putting black makeup on a chinese person is racist”
“no i don’t think so , they’re just showing how the chinese PICTURE african people”
.... our point exactly
No, I don't. If a black person dressed as a Chinese nobody would talk about it.
Isaiah Smith that's what I'm saying ‼️
I understand what she means as her being an elder Chinese person thinking its "harmless", but the younger ones saw this in a different light as unfair. It sucks that this stuff even still goes on but please keep in mind that they are blissfully unaware of the negative repercussions that black face with white people presented for black people throughout history here in America. If they only knew, I wish someone sat them down and showed this to them and even the way Asians are perceived by white people and everyone else in American media..maybe it'll wake them up to whats really going on.
It's not racist but rather stereotypical. I'm not offended. Some countries don't get much exposure to black culture so a little ignorance is expected.
@@MarkSmith-zq1vw You cannot say that as there hasn't been a case of a black person dressing as a chinnese, I'm sure the reaction would be the same
7:18 "Misunderstandings come from the lack of communication"
respect to the guy in Black Jacket
Indeed, he spoke very clearly about the truth
The African American lady hit the nail right on the head! A lot of racism in China comes from ignorance. It doesn’t come from hate, like it does in America. As a Chinese American who came here as an adult, I grew up in Hong Kong and could not imagine having a black friend back then. Now my best friend is a black woman. Ignorance is not always hate.
That woman is biracial, not Black. And when she wasn't being an apologist for racist Asians she was trying her hardest to separate herself from Black people. She should definitely stay where she is...among her own kind.
Racism in America is due to hate , wtf are u talking about. And just cuz they ignorant, don't mean anything a ignorant racist can do just as much damage as a educated racist
This is where this goes nuts. You make a lot of assumptions. "Racism in America" isn't quite the certainty you make it out to be. Getting shot while literally shooting at police, running them over, fighting with them, committing some violent crime, or being a general antisocial a-hole isn't an example of racism. It simply isn't. Unless you believe that the very existence of laws protecting peoples' lives and property is somehow racist toward blacks, but that says more about you than anything. Like, what, you think they find it inherently more of a struggle to resist murdering and stealing than other people, so that laws against those have a harsher effect on them?
The second great leap you make is that any of that is motivated by hate. Are you a mind reader? First I don't trust your intuition of what racism even is. Let alone what your intuition into what is going on in other peoples' minds.
But let me speculate about your motivation, where your bigotry comes from. Is it ignorance? Or just plain hate to accuse people you know nothing about of "hate."
stop with the African-American crap as an identification. I see you missed what she was wearing as an 'identifier'.
@Paul Smith ask yourself how you would feel if you are constantly subject to racial discrimination. My best is black and we both exited a store once and the alarm went off. A saleswoman called out after her, not me, despite the fact that we both exited at the exact same time. This happened in California, a very diverse, inclusive and liberal state. I can only imagine what goes on in the rest of America.
And I have nothing against white people. My pastor is white and I owe him my life for standing by me when I was severely depressed. We should always be aware that good and bad people come in all shapes colors and sizes.

Nah, translations are intentional

"If you're the color of Obama then you're American but if you're darker then that you're African" I thought they said Asians were smart.
ToFester thats a stereotype dumbass
Obama’s a half-breed. I thought you were smart.
Constitutional American
- Yeah and was Obama called the first half-breed President or the first Black President doesn't matter if he was a mixed. Wesley Snipes, Samuel Jackson, Draymon Green, Labron James and Micheal Jordan all are darker then Obama you telling me because of that they are not Americans. I thought you were smart.
Apparently only when it comes to Math and Science
ToFester don’t compare me to those Twats
The quality of the translation could be improved especially for a controversial topic
They were quick to cry racism when they were getting blamed and attacked for COVID, though.
they actually misuse the world "racism" really a lot especially recently lol, basically any criticism about anything about China is racism
The American girl they interviewed was so eloquent and her insight was really interesting. She must be a great teacher, she seems very intelligent.
"seems"????
@@BN-hy1nd yes, very intelligent. What's not to get.
how was she smart? she just told him about her experience.

That "darker than Obama" thing reminded me of how people would say "if you're darker than this paper bag, then we won't hire you" in early 20th century America. Interesting how history repeats itself even in different places with different histories.
Theres a whole meme starring Peter Griffin
@The Sting lol I dont either
@M C yes it was done by black people but not only black people I forgot the actors name but he said that it’d be done by teachers to students in school when he was going to school as well
@M C And where did they get it from? It didn't come from nowhere. Think about it!
Completely different
Why should Africans and African Americans care about what the Chinese think. What's more important is how we view ourselves.
U should, cuz some day u guys gonna be work for us. See, we Chinese provide black people jobs, u should be grateful.

This was very enlightening as a black American. I’ve began looking at different countries to visit and see where I may want to live in a couple of years. I loveAsian culture and was excited to possibly visit China one day but after watching several CZcams videos of several black female US Expat’s all but one say to steer clear of China because it is extremely racist. As a black American female the absolute last thing that I want to do is move from one generally racist country to another. This video did seem to help a bit and as with most things I’ll just have to go and figure it out myself. I agree with the young black lady that it did appear that many of the Chinese may just be ignorant but to be honest I’m exhausted from “educating” people. I just want to be free and live my life as an educated, humanitarian, woman of God who is open to experiencing different cultures and environments. I do understand that sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know and sometimes your intent was not to be insensitive because you just didn’t know. I’ve been guilty of saying things that everyone I knew said similar things but when you get around someone new or someone younger it may not be Ok to say or feel that way. Life is a journey and let’s all learn daily to love each other more than the day before.
I just want to clarify something. China is not "extremely racist." Some Chinese are just ignorant because Chinese had never gone through the "enslave African" history that European colonist had, Chinese also never had the blackface culture when African were discriminated. It may look extremely bad from the African American perspective, but that is just the complete disconnect due to culture and history. If you ask about blackface history, Most people in China would not know about it. From the short clip, it sure seemed like it was ill-advised but intended to be humorous...Also, youtube is probably not the best place for finding out how things are.
Please ask through your social network for someone who actually lives/has lived in China, and ask directly, as I have seen too many bias things that I just want to debunk, but got my comments deleted not for speaking against them, but merely questioning them (sure showed where freedom of speech is on youtube).
@@xXvivivXx The CZcams videos I’m referring to are from US Expats, which mean they live outside of their home country. Outside of the US includes China as ALL of them have said they have done. I have done more research on them then I’ve done on you so I would trust them any day over someone assuming something about me or a troll.
Heu have you been watching the news in NYC lately? Then you must know everyday a black dude attacks an Asian person saying anti-asian racial slurs. So please stay in your country because she can't see the fault in your own Community apparently
@@lucky_english_learning Hey have you been watching the news for longer than a week? You must’ve missed the news when African Expats and students were mistreated and evicted out of their homes in China less than a year ago. In case you missed it please google and then I can refer you to a lot more instances of racist acts exhibited by Chinese onto darker skinned people. BTW, I’m gonna go wherever I please and it’s nothing you can do about it. Peace and Light
@@estherbradley3218 "someone assuming something about me" if you read carefully on what I said. I merely mentioned that the youtube is not a good source of information. It is often biased, just like when George Floyd was murdered on the street, I search everywhere on youtube, and in the first few days, I couldn't find the full video on the incident. there is an agenda behind it, trying to paint it in favor of the police, and labelling the victim and the onlooker as trouble maker. what I said was don't trust youtubers, trust people in your social network, people you know, ask them directly about what they know about China. That way you can get a more objective view, rather than listening to people who just want to make sensational stories and become famous. If that is somehow offensive to you, then I have nothing more to say.
A video and comment section where everyone is expressing in a civilized non-emotionally-triggered way their different honest opinions without trying to push any ideology or strong political views. This is what proper dialogue and communication should look like. I loved this video.
I like that the 'Black' girl interviewed acknowledge that other darker Blacks (African American or African) may have different or even worse experiences than she does.
Kudos to her for being very open-minded. Great interview you guys!!!
hyacinthdibley2 she’s still black. She’s just not dark skin.
Samara white I know that. But everyone sees a difference there.
She is Black and she is also something else.
hyacinthdibley2 that’s not necessarily true. I’m darker skinned from two black parents who also cane form two black parents ect.. but my sister is her color. You can be lighter skinned black without being mixed. Now you sound ignorant
She is a treasure
She was so smart
Maybe it's because I also understand Mandarin. The girl in yellow when she says the producers "should've been more considerate," it's absolutely hilarious because her tone is talking down to those producers, and basically conveys "anyone with half a brain and common sense would have figured this out." Lmao love that.
Her passive aggressive on that comment had me rolling xd
Thank you for giving us her subtext. ;)
There's always going to be mediocre and bad theatre and film productions. The weird thing with racial caricatures is that they are *always* naive. Sometimes, knowingly so - like in comedy. Sometimes, just naive by ignorance. And sometimes, because the actors trying to do a role just aren't very good.
In this case, I think it was that last one.
The double standard makes me think that Westerners are hypocritical. Russell Peters should have something to say about this issue. I've seen many of his talk shows, and when Mr. Peters "mocks" Chinese people's racial characteristics, Chinese people just decide it's funny, and no one thinks it's a discrimination. And Mr. Peters has also "mocked" the big asses of Latin American women. The issue of race has become an ideology in Western countries and in the minds of people, seemingly because of the shameful racial crimes they have committed.
To the Chinese people who think it is just entertainment, so did I. I am black and I too didn't understand the offense. But after learning the history of degrading a race for "entertainment," it can no longer be entertainment if the people who are being impersonated are offended. Ofc the Chinese wouldn't be offended if somebody imitated them, since they didn't have to go through years of dehumanization by these exact actions. Why would the directors make her imitate a black person if there are black people available? It's obvious they were trying to belittle black people or else why would they feed stereotypes and hire a Chinese woman to play a black person's role?
1000% agree. I think the issue is that most of the interviewees don't know about the awful history of blackface. I was disappointed the interviewers didn't bring it up.
Totally agree. It’s why Chinese from China mostly wouldn’t get offended at a lot of things Chinese who lives in the western countries does. Because they never experienced racism and thus couldn’t understand the feeling and what’s wrong with it.
I agree with what you say
theres no history of that dont worry in acient china they were busy eating enough to stay alive. if there was it wouldnt be on that big of a show its hard to find a black person whos able to so fluently speak chinese so they hired a chinese person and the stererotype well what else did you want them to base it off of? chinese people? stereotypes exist for a reason
@@X3MiniDoraemontheres racism against the chinese all over youtube. the ones in china just dont have access to it
It was quite enlightening to watch the interviews with younger and older Chinese people render their comments about Black people. I saw that the older Chinese people were more inclined to be more prejudiced and not as open-minded but still had a little willingness to understand more about Black people. The younger people were immediately more open-minded and looked beyond most stereotypes and expressed that communication and getting to know people better could reduce and prevent misrepresentation of Black people and all people and cultures. Great video!
Misunderstanding comes from lack of communication ..A big yes to that👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Preach!
As a black woman, I love that Asian Boss is spreading awareness across Asia. I love Asian Boss!!! :)
Angel Of Death Uchiha well...thats racist... u can just call her black girl...
Angel Of Death Uchiha racist dumbass who only have the balls to say that online cuz you know you're to scared to say it to a black persons face....you're stupid and pathetic.
Alex G I think u're one of those uneducated racists. Pls get some education.
samory8280 how are they spreading awareness they're remaining unbiased??? If they're spreading awareness it's not necessarily positive
He/she shouldn't call her anything outside of her name or screen name. "Black girl" is not necessary either.
this was so well done. I learned a lot thru the interviews. It boils down to lack of communication
Thank you Asian Boss - loved this enlightening segment!
On the one hand, we Chinese people find everything discrimnating China, but on the other hand, if things dont relate to us, we think it's harmless and they are being too sensitive?
Exactly.
CZcams is one hundred percent discrimination towards China tho. Recently it’s the worst. Also Chinese did say if that’s racist purposes than that’s not okay. But these are Chinese comedians doing their job they are not sure if they mean it. I m not sure either
Lol, you are smart for understanding
As a Chinese, I have to say it’s true sometimes. Maybe not same group of people...
But Chinese stereotypes against black though?
Btw they mistranslated the quote about the perfume. She was saying "They use a lot of perfume... it would make the whole room smell nice." Not that African students would whole room "smell."
Also, they keep translating big ass as big hips lol
Ok my mistake. Still who talk about another smelling without pulling there coat (tell the stink person to freshen up in a nice way?).
Okay. My bad. I was just saying that becuz of my misinterpreted reading. However, my point remains the same... be ez.
Wouldn’t a Chinese person just add the word “nice” as to not be offensive?
Kimchi smell my lord!!!
“They dont mean it, they’re just imitating-” or “it’s just for laughs” UMMMM- no that’s just plain racism!
Not really, you can make race jokes, which are not serious
You're just judging other people's psychology based on your own experience, but in fact, Chinese generally have no concept of racial discrimination. We don't care about skin color at all.
Thank you for the very interesting & informative video.

The girl: if they came to class and sat in the classroom, the whole place would smell very good.
The subtitle: if they came to class and sat in the classroom, the whole place would smell.

The girl also said they smell nice, not that they use perfume.
@@acyam8290 很香doesn't necessarily mean smell nice in that context.
I remember when I downloaded a dating app and matched with a few native chinese people who were here to study in london. I found that a lot of them asked me about my race and then told me that it was good I was mixed race not fully black... so yeah. Also someone literally said they preferred that I had a white side. That's when I realised that a lot of chinese people see black people in a negative light. Also i've heard in many cases if you're black, they seem to just see you as a sexual object (one night stand) and not a girl.
chia charles wtffff this is so absurd, I'm a Canadian born Chinese and I can confirm that a lot of Chinese people are racist towards black people, while they like white people. I am not proud of that ahah
sasaazn asians are racist to whites, blacks and other asians. Chinese people even discriminate other chinese people based on what region in china youre from
Well im full darm and i get matched with mostly asian men(but i dont prefer that), who are also marrying african women, so i wouldnt say all of them think like that and i wouldnt take offense to what asians have to say when it comes to dating
Reading this kinda hurt me in the sense of...damn some asian people hate black people that much...and made me feel terrible about what you went thru with those ignorant boys. I'm sorry.
ShiroP that what the media puts out about us blacks but it's not always true. There are many exceptions.
That was the most educating video I have ever watched
"It's how people picture Chinese as being small and yellow"... That girl summarises the Chinese mind set.
"We were humiliated for a century, why shouldn't we be allowed to do the same?"
as an asian things like this really piss me off. Many people will try to defend countries like china or korea by saying bc theyre almost all the same race they might be less aware but we all hear about the news and have the internet theres no getting away with it now. Not that asians dont face racism we certainly do but we have so much colorism and antiblackness in our communities.
Elaine Kim We? You can't speak for all Asian. Im brown Asian and my community isn't nothing like this. We also get look down by East Asian mostly Chinese and Vietnamesse (not aboriginal of Se-Asia but yellow river).....
Elaine Kim Agreed. However, when there is difference, there is prejudice, that’s the sad part of human nature when uneducated or ignorant or utterly childish, but there is the bright side of human nature when endangered, we tend to unite as community, I only wish one day we could face Martians as one, the earth people. That might be the only time we can learn this lesson.
Jane Ren haha true
As an Asian-American from LA, I completely agree with you. I have had go deal with this issue within my own family, especially with my parents. My father is Japanese-Argentian and he stills uses the slur for black people in Japanese, "Kurombo." It's disgusting and not even the worst I've heard.
@@solomonking5097 done
I appreciate the girl at the end for being able to acknowledge her privilege as a lighter skin or “Obama black” individual. She was able to thoroughly and eloquently describe how she has had unpleasant experiences while also still being privileged at the same time, which is something that so many people still struggle with, I think.
Exactly
so...on behalf of the rest of the world, as a chinese person, i'm sorry about most of these mainland chinese locals. they don't know any better
Here in India, we have all shades of complexion from Milky White to Pitch Black (>_
I liked it when the lady admitted when she never thought of being in another person's shoes, it's awesome how communication changes ones views on things
the fact that that one woman brushed it off by saying” it’s suppose to be funny stop being so sensitive”
i’m just laughing at this point. the ignorance was just flowing out like a tsunami
i cringed at that statement
As if she could handle being stereotyped
Oh god a bunch of crybabies
I agree with her, why can't we all make playful fun of each other?
Y'all are just programmed to get triggered when black ppl are portrayed by non-blacks. Racial tension are caused exactly by ppl like you.
The reactions from Chinese were probably what expected from my experience in China. When I was working in GZ there were quite a lot of Africans and other foreigners like me there and I remember asking a bartender how come they so nice to foreigners no matter what colour and she said that foreigners bring money into the city and create jobs. They generally don’t cause any problems ( although she mentioned some problems with some Americans). It was also interesting there seemed to some “discrimination” against Chinese from outside of Guangzhou… probably because they competed for jobs.
That African American lady at the end of the video was a very clear thinker, insightful and very cool! What a great perspective!
Interesting and thought provoking video. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
I remember this year's spring festival had the opening also showing some Africa dance and music as they always do (some of my friends even know how to sing it). It was so weird seeing the performer are not actually African people, but then it goes the same with other countries as well(such as Russian dance). I don't think the reason behind this was discrimination. However, lived in America for years, and learning about the cultures here certainly makes me feel different when looking at the show.

Even though I’m Caribbean, i am still aware of my African ancestry so it is quite irritating to see people describing Africa as ONE country... I’ll just make it clear it is a continent with many different countries within it, there are SO MANY different cultures, people and religion and might I add they’re not all one shape, size or shade😂 stay educated!
shakira r/iamverysmart
shakira tell them sis I am from east Africa this people needs to be educated 😒
@P C i never thougth that asia is a country
shakira well i mean i understand your anger but at the same time not everyone on this earth knows all the different kinds of countrys in Continent that they dont have mutch exposure to. That is the reason i think a lot of asians see africa as one country even though the probably know there is more. For example in europe i can still think that a lot of people think this way, and it is not inherently racist it is just a lack of knowlage. I mean i have seen and hear more americans than i can remember calling japanese people chinese or koreans japanese, in general just a bunch of people playing all asians as either chinese or japanese when there are so many more asian countrys and different people.

This video in particular was enlightening for me as a Kenyan whose flag was used in the skit's background; the railway project depicted is a Kenyan project called SGR. The video has been watched here and was considered offensive by several Kenyans because we tend to be generally familiar with world history and know a little about the history of 'Blackface' as it was done in America. Others have not taken offense to it and have brushed it off as silliness/comedy. The reactions vary depending on how much history the person knows. Thanks again for the great content.
Your comment should be at the top. This video didn't have any African opinion in it.
Very interesting. Thank you
Thank you for your perspective.
Interesting perspective, thank you😊
I'm tired of being the butt of all races jokes.
You’re not....
Tbh
Amen. Retribution will be intense one day.
@Maria Rai sorry you havent forced chinese people to like black people yet
mike manners11 how negative of you
Remember they're older than us, many of the younger Chinese people in the new generation don't think this. Like every other old generation, their mindset is old-fashioned.
Honestly as a Chinese american I hate to say this, but yes, most mainland Chinese people are racist against black people. Even if it's not blatant racism, discrimination against darker skin tones and offensive portrayals of black people in movies and shows all are serious problems
Thank you for commenting the truth
I'm to confident and proud being African. Love my Darkskin Sisters.
I hope u have love for ur brothers as well but then again wouldnt be surprised...

When she said Racism from Chinese people is more because of ignorance not hate that’s 100% true. As Chinese I can tell sometimes people mean no harm it’s just they don’t realise it can be offensive to others, considering the fact that it’s a single-race society in most parts of China. Not justifying for racism though, just hoping people can tryna understand each other.
Agreed.
The don't realise they're racist because they are ignorant. Doesn't make it okay to be, but at least they have the chance to change and apologize
That's a dumb way to think of it
@@typing...4881 What's your take?
It's 2021, they get no passes from me.
@@welphereweare5807 of course not I said I'm not making excuses, but not everyone is as educated and therefore they need time to realise their mistakes and correct them. It's 2021 for us but their awareness is still somewhere around 10 years back so.
This was great!
seems most of these people don’t find it offensive but I wonder if they would react the same if someone was making videos laughing at Chinese features I’m curious how they would react then lol
some people thought they can tell the difference between discrimination and entertainment, but the lady in red coat instantly realized it will be offensive. Actually this is an example of communication.
That "Obama black" woman at the the end of the video was great. She was interesting and well spoken.
alright, might not be the right time to say this on here but does anyone have her social media..?
minge9 no, but good luck with it hehehe
her social media might be for private use only. i never ask for it unless it's a public figure of some sort.
Did you just say that a black woman was well spoken? That's a microagression bro.
yes! she was lovely and very intelligent.
It's so exhausting having to deal with people who think your skin color is a costume...
A Korean and Japanese video on this subject would be really interesting too!
the lady with the red beanie is my spirit animal
It’s such an enlightening (and saddening) fact that the younger citizens understood that the show wasn’t ok, while the older citizens didn’t.
All these comments about how it’s our problem if we are offended by this. Y’all have to understand that in America anytime anyone dressed up as a black person it was ALWAYS in a negative way not flattery EVER. So of course immediately if a black American person sees this were thinking they’re trying to mock us but that’s our problem. Y’all are culturally insensitive period. You’re rude period. Like the young lady said that could’ve found a black person to play that person because a lot of black People do speak Chinese.

They couldn't find a black person to make a spectacle of themself(because they(Chinese) know they are doing something wrong). So they do it themselves
Was waiting for a comment like this. Hopefully more people see it the way we do. It's time for all this stigma to die down. It's all about perspective.
MorganaEly If a white person was being racist to Asians, I would be offended. Racism is offensive, when will you idiots understand? It also wouldn't be my place to determine what Asians should and shouldn't be offended over. Why? 1.) I'm not that individual person, I don't know what they've been through. So who am I to determine their emotions on something serious? 2.) I'm not Asian. When will you entitled ass people realize you don't control everyone.
MorganaEly Actually people who are the most worthless are the adults who throw tantrums and call names because someone doesn't agree with them and proves them wrong. I guess mommy and daddy spoiled you for to long. You called me a useless human being, and I'm a stranger. Bit hypocritical huh? Your point is invalid now that you've done the same thing.
"Obama black." Do they pull out swatches for a teaching job interview?
wouldn't be surprised tbh
paperbag test 2019

Paper bag .... Remember that crap?
When i think of Obama i think of economic crash. Recession!!!!
I am Ugandan and we love our Chinese brothers and sisters. Much love from Africa God Bless 🙏
What a rough translation?! The girl said " sweet smell", and then Asian Boss translated it to " smell". wtf.🙃 language barrier …
some translation is really misleading amongst other parts…I feel shocked when i noticed it
When I was watching that I was thinking how on earth they were able to accurately translate this incomprehensible language to English.
Thanks for the clarity in translation on that comment.
and also the lady with red jacket says" may be they are a little sensitive but i find them cute"
But the translation writes only" they are sensitive"
the editor to myself is a little bit misleading
Kaihan Zhang but actually she means perfume. I am Chinese. don’t make excuses for those people.
RED HAT IS WOKE
Yeah, agree, I don't like her.
Jake Andersson why, I don’t like how she generalised black people from her neighbours. But yeah why?
Giant's Milk I know she wasn’t, I never said she I was racist. I actually really liked her. I just think some of the things she said was generalisations. I was listening to the Chinese because I’m better at that than English
highway to heaven AF
LOL CENSOR HER
Pigment discrimination will always throw me for a loop.
Explains why so many foreigners have been leaving china.
choose on yourself,who care about that,bless u,and I 'm glad that you leave,not bad
apologize man, most racism is due to exposure to black stereotype contents and lack of experience interacting with African American.
That lady in the turtleneck and glasses was the most important part of this video. She had a strong belief, didn't think it was offensive in comedy, also considered sensitivity, but then when compared to her specific reflection, she said it's a huge problem and not okay after she thought about it like that. Now particularly, I'm not going to focus on the subject but rather the fact we saw a human empathize and turn back on neglectful thinking with a sense of empathy. What you just saw in that little clip is the switch we will all have to flip to fix this. Awesome. Crazy about the Superbowl comparison lol
I saw it as hypocrisy
@@lovelydiva06 options are important.
Yeah, because if there's one thing we know about black people on the whole, it's that they are completely ignorant, or "neglectful", when it comes to being hyper-sensitive about racism. She didn't change her mind. She simply was being fair, objective, and balanced, and realizing that this world is actually much more nuanced than simple-minded people make it out to be.
I totally agree with you.
She was the main character with a redemption arc, she was the moment.
7:20 Guy said all that needs to be said: "Misunderstandings come from the lack of communication"
In personal relationships, race relations, political disputes...conflict persists due to lack of healthy communication
Absolutely
Exactly
Yea im sure black people being enslaved for 500 years was just a lack of communication
it's sometimes ironic because Asian Boss mistranslate things.
yep I'm sure being racist is a lack of communication and not humans being once again the thing that is the scum of the earth I swear to god we're like that one popular group in high school that everyone hates including the people inside the group cause of all the drama and backstabbing
I wonder how they would react to seeing analogous anti-Asian stereotypes in western media. They don't seem to be able to place themselves in the other's shoes, so perhaps they need to see the impact of stereotypes in relation to themselves. Basically, there is am empathy gap here that needs to be filled between THEM/US.
This is actually a very interesting video
I’m a Chinese living in the US and I grew up in China. To be honest, Chinese people have a narrower beauty standard due to the country being largely homogeneous. People often prefer fair skin to dark skin, in their own history prior to the influence of the western media. I was even “discriminated” ( commented on, or made fun of)occasionally for having darker skin when I was young. But Chinese people generally care more about a person’s education, profession and financial status more than the skin color, or religion. I remember having my first foreign English teacher from the US who is black, and really nobody seemed to hold any negative opinions of him, in fact everyone was very excited to talk to him. The Gala show having a Chinese with heavy make up to appear black, is IMO very inappropriate. But it seems to be more of a stereotype, which isn’t necessarily discrimination, however it is what leads to discrimination sometimes. But the differences should be noted here. And without watching more of that Gala show, I don’t want to be presumptuous about the plot portraying racism. It could be and it could not. Though I agree this can make some feel uncomfortable and sets up a bad example.There ARE racists in China, like all other countries. But IMO most people could be ignorant rather than racist. They haven’t been in contact with any other races. One interesting thing to share as well, is that white people can be discriminated in China as well. It is due to the fact that some of the earlier white immigrants being undereducated, arrogant and nasty that built up a notorious reputation. For those who haven’t been to China and simply assume that many Chinese people are racists, I would encourage you to live there for a while and collect some first hand experience by yourself. Like one of the interviewees said, most of the misunderstanding is caused by lack of communication/interaction. We should work on breaking stereotypes of all races.
I feel the same way.
@Mia Excellent response and observations.
Yeah you definitely summed up my opinion - actual African speaking
I worked for an ESL language school in Asia and was told on more than one occasion when I was screening applicants not to forward applications from black teachers because parents didn't feel they received as prestigious an education if their teacher wasn't white. Anti-black racism is widespread in Asia but it certainly takes a different form than it does in the US.
@@ifeeltiredsleepy I worked in China for 15 years and I can attest to what you are saying. Many black native English speakers were often overlooked in favour of whites from Northern European countries who often were then encouraged by their Chinese employer to say they were from the USA, UK etc. I myself witnessed such discrimination first hand at a university in Beijing where students were milling outside a classroom waiting for their law lecturer to arrive. A few minutes later a black guy arrives and one of the students told him he was in the wrong classroom. So the black guy left. A few minutes later the black guy entered the lecture hall and the Chinese guy (and his friends) who told him to leave were mortified to find out that the black guy was in fact their law lecturer!!
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population. How would blackface incidents be perceived in your country? Discuss.
Blackface in America goes back to the old day's man. White people used blackface to belittle and stereotype black people. Rather than getting actual black people to act, they'd just do it themselves because blacks had no standing back then. I understand that the Chinese have different views of blackface because both countries are different, but doing blackface upsets me as a black woman.
Could you do a video on how the chinese feel about President Xi scrapping the presidential term limits?
lol guess you can say that
Unbelievable... Get cultured, learn from history, and then speak your mind. I'm more appalled by the ignorance of those interviewed.
Could you do how Chinese feel when xi jinping scraps presidency for only 2 terms?
It would be real crazy if black peoples put on yellow paint,wore a straw hat,and pulled their eyes back. Y’all would be a kinda of upset about that
As a Chinese I have to say that I personally felt very disturbed when I saw the video. I don’t think people who has ever been living aboard and experienced discrimination against themselves would grasp this issue.
They want the rhythm not the blues. 🖤 In 100 years they’ll say black has nothing to do with Hip Hop and R&B.
Woo&Chunk you hit it on the head. They hate us and love what we offer the world,.......and they totally take advantage of it
True. I can already see it happening
Not even a 100 years. This shit's been happening as soon as someone non black took over Hip Hop,R&B etc.
THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!
"They want the rhythm not the blues" how the fu k have i not heard this before. Amazing
Compared to other Asian videos I’ve seen regarding this issue, these people seem very very educated and are able to explain pretty well their beliefs. This is the first time I’ve not been offended and is actually feeling educated and understanding their side.
Is this sarcasm.
ღCυтe, Sqυιѕнy, Bυт Savage ღ no.
Agreed.
sarcasm ? try hypocrisy,
I'm offended by everyone involved in white face using the technology for this occasion.
Why be offended? Go take a trip to Rome, and then to Nigeria. Notice the difference.
The Chinese don’t find racism bad not surprised
This is very interesting. My mother is from the Caribbean, Trinidad to be exact. She is now 90 and both of her parents were half Chinese. There is no way to visually hide her Chinese DNA, however she will avoid being called Asian or Chinese. "I am not Chinese" is always her response to someone. Why? She told use about the mistreatment and discrimination from "full" Chinese family members and neighbors. This is a mind set and not isolated to China.
I noticed a common theme of "I believe this because I saw it on tv." If black people weren't always portrayed as criminals or poor on television other counties wouldn't view us like that. People need to keep it in mind that other counties don't have the same racial exposure as we do in America, their only exposure to black culture is from media. Thats why I'm grateful for movies such as Black Panther or other creative projects that add another dimension to the black perception.
Bev Lee preach sista
you just repeated what you said in the first comment and you were wrong in that comment..but keep saying that if you want to convince yourself that you are right lol because you def aren't convincing black people.. Every time I see comments like this I just think "this is just another racist who wants to convince himself that he is superior" it's like a racist pep talk to make yourself feel better lol..
If you see racism where it doesn't exist within my statement which is referencing actual computed statistical data to get the claim I give, maybe the one with racism deep inside is you. Food for thought, but what I said isn't wrong. If it is, why not prove it?
dude we've been around the block before..You think we don't know racist code words and dog whistles..like I said you aren't convincing anyone but yourself.
Blazing Zephyr this is a genuine question, I’m not asking it cause of hate or whatever I’m just genuinely curious. Where did you get your statistics from. I study statistics and I know a lot of the time numbers are misleading. Was the study even a simple random sample, how did the person minimize bias, what tests did they run? Once again I’m not trying to attack you I’m just genuinely curious where you’ve got your information from.
IT'S NOT "the whole place would smell"
IT'S "the whole place would be sweet-smelling"
perioddddddddd cause our hair smells real good💅
The captioning I guess are worded wrongly
unless the person used too much perfume and then it would be annoying to people nearby
I believe she's referring to the musky smell that many African people give off in their natural body odour. From past experience I know that Africans tend to have a more pungent scent than other races in my experience. I distinctly remember that for years, whenever I would travel to and from work each day by train, I could always tell when a group of Africans were sitting close behind me, in the same carriage, purely from the musky scent that would fill the carriage (not perfume or deodorant, that's markedly different from body odour). I'm not claiming that Africans have an awful aroma, it's just different to how white people smell (which is generally far milder, so long as they are hygienic). But yes, there is a distinctly African smell. I'm unsure what actually causes it, or whether it's genetic, cultural or diet-related, but it's unmistakable and undeniable.
thats just the shitty translation, jesus christ do you not realise that languages cant be translated directly
I watched this years ago with my family. Didn't think much of it until a couple years back but it makes sense.
When I (a Black American) was in China people were very kind to me. Wherever I went, the Chinese were also very generous, cheerful, and helpful. I made random friends daily. So, of course, I miss China very much.
“Obama Black” literally broke my heart into a thousand pieces. Racism is alive and well.
It’s more ignorance than racism
In America, I associate racism with hatred and belittlement of different races, but in this case I think it's more ignorance and lack of exposure to different types of people which make it harder for people to understand the way people do in America, where African American people are more prevalent. China is full of mostly Chinese people, and most foreigners only live in certain places. How can the rest of China, which largely learns about black people through music, where there is so much reference to drugs, sex, and money, know what to expect?
Zixiang Jiao 99.99% of Africans haven’t even stepped foot in China lmao

love how we americans expect other countries to automatically know and be sensitive to our history when most of us couldn't even point to Shanghai on a map.
Dude it’s almost like it’s respectful to not mock someone else’s culture
@@lokkomotive8153 it's almost like Americans have become so close-minded to the point that they automatically shut down different perspectives from homogenous cultures that didn't grow up around black people and being offended by everything - even though there was no intent to offend - has become quintessential of the American Superiority Complex.
No point taking Americans seriously
As Chinese I have to admit that racism is in Chinese culture, most of us are not aware of it though. It's very common for a Chinese to make a racial comment, reckoning it's just for amusement. But as the black girl at the end of the video described, Chinese's racism has nothing to do with hateful feeling, it's more from the lack of manner and knowledge. That's why I hope the new generations with more education can improve on this. I'd personally apologize for any of discrimination ever occurred to other races because of what we Chinese did.
"Trying to be funny" is EXACTLY the problem!!! They'd be fine with it because they don't know the history black face carries!!!
Edit: I find it alarming how people responding to this comment think blackface is an AMERICAN or Western concept when it's a big issue in African countries as well, South Africa being one of them.
This is not their history, they don't have to follow it.
USA is NOT the world.
You can't be mad at something or call them racsit if they didn't know the history behind it.
Just one way of kissing white people ass and trying to make it funny at the same time. equal to ass kissers so always remember when you put on blackface you are kissing the white man's ass just remember the white man have something for you Chinese people for kissing his ass
@@isiahmatthews actually China don't care, and if Africa continue in this direction, it will soon kiss China's ass more than the "white ass" which seems to obsess your mind
How do you expect them to know about blackface in an American context if they're not American?
YES I was waiting for this topic to be covered
silvervixen007 Yess IKR
didnt u listen to what these ppl are saying. If its not meant with ill content everything should be acceptable.
itssygo if I offend you without ill intent, is that ok? Or what if many believe the false narratives created from that offense? Also, what if you are limited to work opportunities bc of that false narrative? False narratives can have a deleterious impact on the psyche as well as social mobility, if the false narratives are deemed acceptable by the masses.
I believe that you cant be offended. To be offended is a great weakness in your own mind. Either everything is okay or nothing is ok. To start controlling peoples mouths and brains are dangerous.
itssygo yeah ok, you are entitled to your beliefs, as are the people whom may feel offended.
I'm African from Cameroon in West Africa, I do admire Chinese, Korean and Japanese. I love their culture, their looks n their creativity. They're nice people, some people may say they're racist due to a lack of understanding
