- In a world divided by race, do we as people really understand what this construct, “Race” really means? This talk breaks down the racial categories and gets us wondering, can we move past these categories?
Teja’s father is African-American, Native-American, Filipino-Chinese, and his mother is German Danish. He grew up in Japan, and has two adopted daughters who are ethnically Chinese. His multiracial and multiethnic identity has provided the platform for him to speak at over 1,000 colleges, universities and corporations in 48 states. Teja has his Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Filmmaking from Clark University and serves as the Creative Director for Entertaining Diversity, Inc. He is the recipient of an EMMY award for Reflections with James Earl Jones. With Clark University as is his alma mater, and current workplace, he wants the Clark community to embrace the power of self-identification and move forward by setting the stage for the next generation to build a real, equitable, empathetic society.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Facts mean nothing to racists! Enjoyed the talk.
He's so funny it's so true. I'm not half a human I'm a whole human composed of two different parents with two different melanin absorptions.
No one:
You: ^^
@rf4life the fact that you believe that shows so much ignorance
No No that is Ethnic differences. Humans are a single species.
@rf4life Numbers and averages don't explain anything without any logic or context. If you could conduct an experiment that accounts for all socioeconomic factors on race and Iq and prove there are races inherently more intelligent by any meaningful amount. Unless those studies do account for that, then be my guess and send a link.
@rf4life I sincerely doubt you even know what g is at this point.
Why so many dislikes? He's not wrong.
I've been saying this since 1975 when I heard it from my ANTHROPOLOGY professor and no one believes me. ANTONIO MACEO - one of the liberators of CUBA said in 1890 that ''all human beings on Earth belong to one race"
Don't conflate social categories with biology!!
Race is a morphological-phenotypical categorization. And hence, Demes, Clines,….. Races.
So the .01% of difference that makes up "racial" things like skin color and eye shape is enough to divide and define us?
.01% is not true of the differences between historically largely separate populations. On average, in terms of DNA sequence all humans are 99.5% similar to any other humans. Even still, differences are all relative. Facial morphology is the most obvious, and hair characteristics, dental characteristics, and other bodily characteristics (not counting skin color with any of this, btw) further distinguish historically largely or entirely separate human populations.
And from one of our favorite sources:
"There is a hypothesis that anatomically modern humans interbred with Neanderthals during the Middle Paleolithic. In May 2010, the Neanderthal Genome Project presented genetic evidence that interbreeding did likely take place and that a small but significant[how?] portion of Neanderthal admixture is present in the DNA of modern Eurasians and Oceanians, and nearly absent in sub-Saharan African populations.
Between 4% and 6% of the genome of Melanesians (represented by the Papua New Guinean and Bougainville Islander) are thought to derive from Denisova hominins - a previously unknown species which shares a common origin with Neanderthals. It was possibly introduced during the early migration of the ancestors of Melanesians into Southeast Asia. This history of interaction suggests that Denisovans once ranged widely over eastern Asia.[48]
Thus, Melanesians emerge as the most archaic-admixed population, having Denisovan/Neanderthal-related admixture of ~8%.[48]
In a study published in 2013, Jeffrey Wall from University of California studied whole sequence-genome data and found higher rates of introgression in Asians compared to Europeans.[49] Hammer et al. tested the hypothesis that contemporary African genomes have signatures of gene flow with archaic human ancestors and found evidence of archaic admixture in African genomes, suggesting that modest amounts of gene flow were widespread throughout time and space during the evolution of anatomically modern humans."
exactly
A man asks another man what kind of dog he's walking. The second man becomes completely indignant. He spews something about "why would you ask such a ridiculous question." The first man "so so I just want to know what kind of dog it is." the second man screams at him that "there's only one breed THE DOG BREED!"
The difference is that dogs have been bred apart specifically to have different traits. The idea that there is as much genetic variation between, say, an Irish person and a Japanese person as there is between a Great Dane and a Pomeranian is laughable.
>Lars Frisk
The genetic variation between an Irish person and a Japanese person is small. Nevertheless, anyone with eyes can tell the difference between them, and also between them and an African. To deny that is to deny reality.
That's my point. The differences between a Japanese person and an Irish person is socially constructed, it is not biological. The point of this video is that race is a social concept as opposed to a scientific one.
@@larsfrisk6658 Socially constructed physical differences?
@@wilmer89 physical differences exist, but society assigns meaning to these differences. A few centuries ago, Irish people were not considered white. It's not about biology or physical reality.

I guess when you have race, species, ethnicity and nationality all mixed up, it is easier to say "we're all human".
No - you weren’t paying attention.
Because we are all human.... that’s the only thing objective about you and the thing you share with everyone.
Dude, I was trying to look up different features of different groups of people. I didn't want to hear your ''we are all humans'' speech that has been said a million times.
Yea groups, not races, cuz does don't exist.
@@bonsummers2657 similar features exist but race as it is usually used, doesn’t
@@willbgm5x5 Race is a genetic grouping distinguishment, per morphology, and which correlates with genetics, i.e. which is consistent with DNA(and such) genetic markers,… which correlate(s) with regionally distinctive historically indigenous lineages. What are you talking about?
Love it. Keep speaking the truth.
@Charles Huang the scientific fact is that race doesn't exist
"Don't conflate social categories with biology!!"
Science vs. folk taxonomy.
just a technical question of syntax and meaning: in your comparison are you equating Science with social categories? I read your comparison in this way Social categories vs biology = Science vs folk taxonomy.
Im taking Anthropology at the moment. I'd LOVE to bend your ear on the subject of science vs folk taxonomy for a min. when you get a chance. thanks
Race is scientifically correlatable with genetics.
@Dalavar Redclaw I understand the nuances of that. And, racial type corresponds with genetic identifiers in the DNA, which correspond with racial types. There is clearly abundantly genetic basis for the divisions of human ethno-racial types, per distinctive genetic markers/identifiers in ones DNA. If you don't know that(highly unlikely, unless your blind, deaf, and lacking sense), you can learn about it (aside from that being obvious). That's abundantly clear with prudent judicious science, which the Human Genome Projecting is choosing to not admit from the quote you gave. Morphological structure, especially facial, and usually with correlation with hair types/colors, are the main distinguishing phenotypic characteristics, which correspond with historical geographically distinguishable population/racial/ethnic types. Further, there are also strong correlations with language relations and racial similarities,… which is due to historical geographical long term relatively isolated breeding populations. You've got some key points to learn about.
@@bonsummers2657 That's hardly the case. Genetically you could be european and be closer related to someone from africa than someone in europe.
According to evolution, we all have a common ancestor. Mitochondrial Eve
Also according to evolution - big changes over long time :O

Nice. Evolutionists found Adam and Eve. The next step is to realize they were human!
@@Baelish-fx7ew 40,000 years is not a long time in evolutionary terms
Christian or not we all came from two people,where those two people came from is debatable but the fact that we came from two people nonetheless proves race is fake
Teja said everything I've always thought and felt. . I saw this 8 years after it was posted but darn it was refreshing. Were ALL ONE RACE. THE HUMAN RACE. PERIODT.
Culture has nothing to do with so-called race.
@Rising Sun Sad but true, however, most people are so naive that they can see the writing on the wall.
@Rising Sun Wow! That's deep. Makes a lot of sense when you REALLY think about it.
One race might make it socially sound to wear sun screen while another might apply specific hair products both cultural habits
@@tunjilegba just because not everyone looks the same doesn’t mean they are different “breeds” that would behave differently smh.
Humans categorize things; good food/bad food; friendly animals/dangerous animals; good videos/bad videos. Why does it surprise anyone. Some categories are helpful and others aren't as helpful. People also categorize things differently. Categories help us make informed decisions.
Agreed. It's how we've survived. The challenge is to remember that the gradation of differences within each so-called race makes the distinctions of race unclear. There is no consensus between nations and continents as to how to categorize races, or to even engage in that discussion at all. Race categories made it possible to allow slavery of Africans in America for many generations.
OR - MIS-informed decisions.
@@MJ-hg1mk This exactly! Categories form misleading separation between each other, we forget to see that things are more like continuums and webs. Things, let alone human beings, are not either or, this or that, good or bad, capable or incompetent. It surprises nobody, and that's how important it is to poin out that some categories are not simply unhelpful, they are harmful!
Many rapists are male. Based on the original comment, all males should be considered to be rapists... I mean if we're making "informed" decisions based on categories.
One of the first jobs God gave to Adam and Eve was to name things.

heritage is not race. If you embrace that then your heritage is ignorance.
@@leavefollow1698 A large part of heritage is race, because of the physical and corresponding effect on the psyche, and how that inspires people. Don't be so naive.
@Martin Pospisil the human race is real. Slow down.
@Martin Pospisil Assumptions on who you think taught me is the same reason you are assuming there is a subsection of the human race. Have a nice life and learn something outside of school. Autodidacism aren't programmed. Gn.
Race is usually used in a social context or on the basis of physical characteristics, as well as for matters of socio-political platform. I will tell you now that race from a biological aspect only is undeniable (some examples are 23andme and his work). But race from the socio-political context is arbitrary and malleable. A woman who is mixed with Asian and White might identify as Asian despite her genes proving the contrary. Race from a historical context is not a valid argument to disprove biological race or biological disparities. Although racial classifications from a historical context are arbitrary and carried a form of pseudo-science with it, they supported a socio-political platform. Ex) Mexicans were once considered white, People from Ireland and certain European countries were not considered white, and today Middle Eastern people can classify themselves as white although they choose not to.
Similarly, Filipinos were considered 'White' and Italians were considered brown in the US not long ago. The problem is that it's all arbitrary, and continues to change over time. Middle Easterners and Arabs do not have a category (as of yet) in the Census, leaving them often no choice but to select 'Asian'. What makes it more complicated is that race categories defined by Europeans don't match the categories created by people in other parts of the world.
It appears tho the people in US gov't don't understand the difference between Race and Ethnicity. at 8:24, There are categories for Chinese, Japanese, Philipino, Vietnamese, Samoa .. these categories are not races, but ethnicities There was no box that says Asian. Why is it that a white looking immigrant from Canada, France, Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland, Italy , or perhaps from Middle East, or even South America etc etc... only checks White?
You guys are talking about nonsense with the 'white' and such. Just look at the morphology, the obvious parameters which are well established by impartial scientific consistency. Take a fresh unbiased look on it all and hence: Europid, Afrid, Asiaid, Australid, Indiaid,…. and many subgroups of all those. With keen understanding of human historical geographical human consistencies of diversity,…. this is all very apparent to keenly perceptive people. And of course there are clinal peoples, hybrids/mixes of people of different races,….. Understand, be perceptive,… and genetic indicators bear it out.
Have you been to Mexico? It is a diverse country on its on . You are saying Mexicans as if you are talking about a race , it is a country.
If biological race is undeniable, provide a definition.
Race ONLY exists as a social construct. For the past 100 years the biological concept of human races has been completely debunked. No scientist uses the race category for humans, it is totally useless
As soon as you use the term 'the human race' you have lost the argument. Teja Arboleda's argument is about semantics - not science.
Human race... is the term as HUMANS.
@@leavefollow1698 Sorry.. what are you saying?
Oh and there is nothing scientific about race categories. Human is and should be the only race. Not color
@@leavefollow1698 Is this any different than all the different horse breeds we have that are no more genetically diverse than we are as humans? We all know that humans can breed with each other and so can a horse and zebra. They are both two different species. This is a classification system. I am sorry but people live everyday in racial categories. If you claim you belong to a Native American tribe than you better have a DNA test done or they won't accept you, nor give you compensation. This is the world we live in.
If you think an argument can be lost just by mentioning a phrase then you don't understand how arguments work

@@pandabear9823 IQ is.
@@Iknowbetterthanyou There's no evidence of a biological cause of a difference in IQ. It may be common but it's really just correlation without any real causation.
I agree that we are of human race, if that’s the case, wouldn’t everybody’s ethnicity technically be African since that is the birthplace of the human race?
Thank you
Human species, multiple races, because of different historical geographically isolated morphologically distinctive breeding groups.
@Miguel Pimentel bjebifewbewfbiubiucs races are not just an american thing in the understanding, all peoples perceive races if they're aware of the world of humanity, which the vast majority are. It's a human thing, worldwide. Appreciate distinguishable historical distinctive-different populational diversity.
@Miguel Pimentel bjebifewbewfbiubiucs DNA/Genetic identifiers are associated with the different historically indigenous geographically distinguishable population groups.
@Miguel Pimentel bjebifewbewfbiubiucs They're equivalent meanings in they way you're stating. But, somebody of a given race is not necessarily of the same ethnicity. There are multiple ethnicities of the same racial category (which is founded on the combination of genetic and morphological distinctions, which also fully(basically/practically) correlate with historical geographic populational indigenous development of a given people type. Each racial category has multiple ethnicities, which is mainly a matter of language and culture.
Could someone please make a video explaining how freaking problematic it is to compere humas to dog breeds, like on every possipble level! Because it is happening so freaguently that I'm starting to question whether there is education outside the Nordics. Truly alarming.
Why is it problematic?
@@wilmer89 Because dogs have 40,000 genes and humans have 20 000. That's poses massive problems, mathematically or otherwise, to use dog genetics as an analogy to humans. More importantly, dogs have been selectively bred for thousands of years in order to have certain characteristics more manifest and compartmentalized. Comparing 6000 years of controlled dog evolution to 300,000 years of uncontrolled human evolution is extremely unscientific and a massive false equivalence fallacy.

If you mix yellow and blue together you get green. Blue and red makes purple, and red and white makes pink. Be careful, though...you don't want to mix them all together, or you won't have any _diversity_ of color...you have to keep the colors separate, if you want to keep the colors at all. Giving each color it's own place on the palate is not a hateful idea. Some colors are primary, and can't be made by mixing other colors together...so if you mix them all, you can't get them back...

But don't worry (if there is a matter to worry), there is still a large amont of time before having humans with single type of genetic variation, notably because every time a child born, he shows a unique genetic combination, and it is even more the case with mixed children since their genetic combination comes from more different/distant genetic variations. In fact, mixing is curently more likely to increase diversity than the contrary.

As smart as you guys are most of you didn't get the sarcasmic undertone. We know race is factual.. The commentator is merely breaking down the social construct of race.

You say race was factual but he say race isn't real.
@@wilburmcbride8096 what does the eyes say?
People who believe in the reality of racial groups disagree with this talk. We don't come from the perspective of superiority or inferiority relativity. We're interested in nature, and speciation processes.
I mean, of course different groups of humans from different parts of the planet evolved differently with different characteristics. Some are better at some things and others are better at other things. But we should all try to get along with each other.
That is biologically incorrect, we are not genetically different enough that we would behave or function differently on a physical level because of something like race. Everyone is different, if you are going to categorize people, do it based on something that isn’t trivial.
Inuits evolved for the colds. Badjaos evolved for diving. We have differences however small. It is discrimination between races that is wrong

I had hoped for an actual disproving of the so called un-science of the social creation of race, but I don't think he did that, he gave exceptions that disproved the perfect accuracy of what race is, but that's a line in the sand, he's just drawing in some grey, this did nothing to uncreate race, at best it recreated race.
So many problems with his speech. At no point did he talk about physical anthropology, only social anthropology. Why mention how the government categorized people in the various census. Some bureaucrats designed them, not scientists. "There is more in us than out there", in reference to the universe. I guess he is not an astronomer nor an anthropologist, but he is comical.
I was wondering where the whole race myths came from. there is only one race.
i was looking more for information about genetic differences in races and how mixed races may be genetically superior or have faults compared to other groups. Its hard to find much about that anymore. everyone just wants to talk about social groups and getting along with others
Check "the racial bias/myth". There are plenty of TEDx about it. Another one that amazed me was : "The neuroscience of decision making: are you fair or ...?".
Check it out. It answers your questions.
Because "race" has absolutely nothing to do with any of that. It was just something someone made up to make themselves and "their people" feel more superior.

This is so mealy mouthed. There is nothing imaginary about race, he ignored most of the evidence that suggests so, and he mixed a lot of facts with opinions... typical ted talk tbh. race is a useful tool in many ways to make generalizations and also saying there is race does not imply hatred or superiority nor that people shouldn't mix- it just is. and maybe in a thousand years that will not be the case but to say it is not is ridiculously bending to the emotions irrational progressivism.
Right... coming from a person who think 90% of sociology is BS, if talking about race as a question of real and hard sciences- okay- falsifiable definition- put or shut up- go-
“Race” for humans isn’t scientific or factual, everyone is mixed in someway since humans are not a-sexual.

Some good data; overall bad idea. Race is quite medically useful.
Hippocrates Da Terra How is it useful concept in medicine? in fact, it could be quite dangerous to one’s health. Medicine and health care should always be individually tailored snd not based on the socio political term. Two people can be phenotypically similar and have partial shared ancestral background but be genetically very different from each other. In fact, the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than all continents combined. There exists no set of genes which all members of a population group has which is mutually exclusive to all other populations on earth. None exists. The only reason why any human racial classification system exists is to stratify human beings for social, political and economic gain.

@@namename9998 Well race isn't an 'idea' at all, no one 'conceived' race, humans perceive race. Race is just a matter of fact, part of the process of evolution. The idea of race as a human construct maybe what Hippocrates Da Terra is referring to as a 'bad idea' and I would agree with him if that's so. Evolution is happening all the time, it applies to _all_ of life, the idea that humans weren't, or aren't, part of that is a nonsense. I think that the use of race as a reason to be bad to each other (racism) is what many people don't like and that is a fair and good thing but that can't change the reality that race exists. Accept race and be good to each other is my view.
@@straighttalking2090 I like your Idea how to view race more than ignoring it all together. I feel people think, if we just not call it race that people think racism will go away. I think the opposite will happen. If we don't address people needs and well-being then racism will flourish.

Hahaha I just found ths
Wow that true
Oh man the stupidity how can he completely ignore the genetic differences between ethnic groups
ok hes a sociologist
He doesn't... Also the ability to trace back specific genetic markers to a geographic location only allows one to make a statistical guess on the race of a person. There is no specific race gene. For example exposure to malaria changes ones genetic make up and can lead to a higher chance of sickle cell anemia. This gene is used to trace people back to a specific location but has nothing to do with any other trait like skin color. In fact very few of the genes used to trace people back to a location are related to phenotypical attributes. Genes that account for most phenotypically differences are very easy to change. Skin color in Europe changed from white to dark And back to white again in a relatively small amount of time. I don't think the point is to say that these phenotypes don't have genetic roots but more that phenotypes are relatively incosiquential to other traits. For example race has been used, sudo-scientifically, to draw conclusions about race and intelligence. The brain however doesn't evolve like phenotypical traits. those genes that we know to be involved with the forming of our brains are identical across races (identical in that the variation is not catigorizable by race).
