Was Aba wrong? What do you people of color think?
It's segregation.
Not really.
I dislike the term but to be fair I think I just hate colored folk.
This a joke btw I'm not openly racist
I don't like it just how they labeled me a latinx like wtf is that?
his definitely right
I gasped out loud when Aba said "they LGBTQed us." Because THEY TOTALLY DID
It was a revelation for me as well!
They did!!
What does that mean?
Yo u read this comment before I watche the vid. Didn’t get it lol. But 1:23 in I did the exact same thing.
QUe me in the meme with all the math equations floating and me coming to a epiphany cuz THEY DID
As a Hispanic man, don't ever call me a person of color, a bipoc, or especially ESPECIALLY don't call me a latinx.
Fr I’d rather be called a beaner than a latinx tbh
I don't have the vocabulary to properly describe how much I hate latinx. No one has ever used it towards me irl thankfully.
😂😂😂@Latinx…
Yeah man I tell people latinx is a slur to us that's mad goofy
As a Hispanic person I’d prefer being called a Spic before being called LatinX
As a black man, I lost it when they started using LatinX. I was like how tf you gone tell people from another country how to speak their native language. That shit was bold lmaoo
The sheer audacity of those people who then go around calling other people imperialists while butchering a language to fit their ideology.
@@wingsoffreedom3589 Right, I mean thinking of it now. Thats why we cant speak our native language. They forbade it in slavery, along with using other horrible methods. So I guess thats actually not that surprising. You re right.
No Latin people I know is cool with it.
I thought latinx was for non binary Latinos. Due the gendered conjugation of o for male and a for female.
@@jsmoo1206 yup same thing as "people of color" it's just "colored people" but this time we should be grateful for being "othered."
I used to think BIPOC stood for bisexual person of color. 💀
It does!
lol paul it does not
@@bazhumke4040 thanks captain shitdick. I know.
me too 😭😭😭 i was like why are we specifying only bisexual people lol
What does it mean though??
I moved to Canada for college from East Africa and they gave me a pamphlet calling me a "visible minority". I almost puked in the hallway. Needless to say, I'm back in my own country 10 years later.
got me wondering what country in East Africa... i was legit a visible minority in my university classes.
I hate the term visible minority.
That's terrifying, the terminology these people come up with..
“You’re clearly not white” omg 🤣🤣🤣
I can understand being offended but it is still a fact lmao
I’m loving Aba’s reactions lately! He’s getting fed up by all the ridiculousness going on
This is like saying that you cannot have a “genital preference” because otherwise you’re transphobic. It’s insane!
Me too.
And they tryna say that shit too 🤦♂️
Weirdly enough, genital preference is something a lot of heterosexuals and homosexuals have in common.
Bruh... that's exactly what's gonna be enacted into law. You just watch!
This is why I could never be a leftist, too many weird BS going on there.
I never considered this very much as a white person, thanks for sharing. I like your analogy about the LGBTQ+++ whatever though, as a lesbian, it weirds me out when a person refers to me specifically as "LGBT". Like most of those letters don't apply to me, either get to know me as an individual, or just don't mention this "identity" related crap. It also implies allegiance with a specific political identity, for example with trans issues, which many of us who just happen to be same sex attracted are not on board with. Perhaps it's the same with "BIPOC", it forces people of different races to align with a far left social/political movement that they might have nothing to do with. I find it so hilarious that 98% percent of Latinos hate the word "Latinx", but the woke continue to use it anyways! It's not about showing people respect, otherwise they would stop using a word that offends people, it's about signaling political affiliation and bragging about how they're more up to date on the most current language that was invented 30 seconds ago on some college campus.
The word "Latinx" is redundant. You can tell the word "Latinx" was probably made up by a non-spanish speaking person, because the word Latino already takes into account everyone that is Latino. Apparently the "woke" population seem to have an empty space where a brain should be.
the LGBT community in itself has an issue, were they pretend they all stand united, but realistically speaking most of them have such vastly different views, that the only reason why they came together was because they were "outcasts" of society... except.. now the LGB part hasn't been really been seen as outcasts for what? a good 20 years now, I think.
the only outcast of society, if you want to stretch it that far is the trans part of the community and even then you could have a strong argument that society/the left political part of society is bending backwards to make them feel included and save. and considering it's really only the T part of the LGBT community that makes headlines.
I have not met anyone in my life that is genuinely actively homophobic in my 23 years of living in my country (not from the US)
@@DatAsianGuy Every gay and lesbian I know stopped doing "gay" related political activism as soon as we got the right to marry, which was actually less than 10 years ago in a lot of the country. When I married my wife, it had just become legal in our state but was not federally recognized. Homophobia exists, but it's not a political issue anymore. Everyone over the age of 23 (except the real weirdos) stopped going to pride parades too.
Trans activists are the only ones claiming to do "LGBT" activism now because they're trying to ride in on our coattails. They understand that the majority of the country now supports gay equal rights, so they're trying to shoehorn their way in, knowing that their arguments can't stand on their own merits. The vast, vast majority of the country doesn't want males in women's prisons or sports teams, and doesn't want children castrated. It's an extremely unpalatable agenda. They captured leftist politicians by using the guilt that they feel from not embracing gay marriage sooner. They've also been crafty about taking control of key social media platforms like reddit to squash dissent and honest discussion.
@@rachelmaddowswife8713 "The vast, vast majority of the country doesn't want males in women's prisons or sports teams..." Don't forget toilets. Those confused males are demanding to be allowed in women's toilet. Damn scary if you asked me, and I'm a man.
@@rachelmaddowswife8713 Is your wife actually Rachel Maddow?
I’m white who doesn’t pretend to know or understand what’s it like to be another race. But I gotta say the first time I heard „people of color“ my whole body was cringing like hell. If I ever said it to a black bro and he punched me I’d totally understand that.
And also I feel discriminated, I mean white is a color too.
If you are straight. Just know all liberals hate you. I'm sure you have noticed lol.
True man! Sucks that white dudes are looked at as bad
no, let's correct that statement. If you ever said it to a black person without the intention of offending them and they punched you, then you should report that as an assault.
black people who know why the term came into existence will not punch you, there is nothing offensive about the word. Well you rather we refer to everyone as white?
White is actually a tone and so is black... In fact, it should be seen as different skin tones as that's what they are and not colours.
We're Mexican and my sons and I laugh every time someone calls us a p.o.c./bipoc because isn't it just calling us "colored"? I am always having to correct folks and tell them I am a lizard person.
It’s weird to assume that all Mexicans are POC when there are a lot of them that are straight spainard descent.
Red Fox used to say we all are colored some are colored white.
pakistanis and northwest indians are the south asian version of latinos/hispanics. some of them look white, most look vaguely latino/maybe middle eastern
@@Oll_704 Yup, my family has a bit of that... Heck, from what I could gather there's even some Scottish in us from my father's side of the family and my great grandfather. On my mom's side were mostly Mexican with some African traits. And yet, my entire family from both sides has more colors than the fugging rainbow when it comes to skin, hair and eyes.
@@Oll_704 I'm half Mexican, a quarter Native American, and a quarter German, yet my skin is paler than most Europeans. All this skin color bullshit is not only insulting, but is inaccurate.
That chick had me wheezing when she complained about being called a "colored person" instead of a "person of color." As if there's a difference lmfao.
Ones direct ones passive. And she prefers passive?
There is a difference, and the difference is that we are being told in school that one "reduces you to your skin color" and the other puts you as a "person" first. But it's all 100% a manufactured issue
@@Dizastermaster. School teaches that shit? Holy hell what a disgrace
@@Dizastermaster. There's no fucking difference they're both idiotic terms
@@Dizastermaster. 100% agree on the issue being manufactured.
As a white person who grew up in a pretty diverse area of the US. Meeting other white people who use these terms to describe people with darker skin immediately tells me that they don’t talk with any black people in real life lol
Same it's always the super white people who act like that.
For sure
Disagree, I learned these terms from the black and brown people in my life.
@@abcxyz4653 ok, I never said anything about where I learned it from
Thank you
“Hillary Clinton am I racist?” Took me out! Almost chocked on my popcorn 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! I was referred to as a person of colour in the office and politely requested to be referred to as a black woman. The person (who was white) tried to correct me saying it was more respectful and I said "but it's not how I identify". To this day, I'm sickened by that encounter (I summarized)
Don’t you know, white liberals know what’s best for you.
It's always worse when they try to correct you instead of just listen
I find it funny that when they use "person of colour" they exclude white people. White people are also people of colour.
The nerve to correct you
... how difficult was it to just say "black"?
telling you how you should feel, the audacity and they don't even realize lol
“They tried to LGBTQ+ us” so true 🤣
I was dead
It's so true and I even feel for the gays and lesbians who been dragged into the transgender stuff. If I was gay or a "POC" I would be super pissed.
@@lukemurray4950 kinda reminds me of the Dave chappelle joke, where all the people in the LGBTQ community is in a car and they don’t hate the trans people, but they resent them because it’s just making the journey take longer
Honestly that’s when Aba got me🤣 I nearly spit out my drink from laughing so hard.
@@C1umsyJester I haven't seen that. I will check it out. Love Dave Chapelle
Can't wait to have this catch on. "Seeing a group of bipocs standing on a streetcorner." "Police reporting a 6 feet bipoc is suspected."
Or a university lecture being only for latinxes
Missing from this conversation is how culture effects dating preferences. Many people prefer to date people with similar cultures. Similar food preferences, similar holidays, similar family customs. It can be difficult to date someone with very different customs than you. Generally two people of the same ethnicity are more likely to have similar customs than two people of different ethnicities, it's just how it goes.
As a black woman, I dislike the term People of Color. I remember watching Grapevine and they were specifically talking about the school to prison pipeline. They kept saying how it affects People of Color. I was getting upset because this particular issue mostly affects black students. By using that term, POC, you're minimizing specific issues that EACH minority group has. This PC culture is getting annoying 😒.
And I heard it through the Grapevine they don’t broadcast anymore
Great point
@@latashasmith1778 I think they only put videos on Patreon. I could be wrong.
You are black, there is no "people of colour". All PoC does is distance everyone who isn't white from whites. I am Polish and I have had Americans tell me I am PoC cause I am not Western European...
SMH
They make it seem like being "white" is the default
My wife’s Chinese. I have never (and don't plan to) called her 'a person of colour''. This obsession with colourism is really annoying and disturbing.
Most people will date within their race/ethnic group, as they want to stay within the social/ethnic/racial environment of what they grew up with.
I think people are confusing race and culture. The reason people tend to date within ethnic boundaries, I imagine, is because of a somewhat shared culture.
Yeah and I think that's totally reasonable. And it doesn't make that person racist toward a different race. We like what we know. What we're familiar with. Of course there will always be outliers and that's fine too. But I feel bad for the white people who feel actual guilt about preferring to date whites. They need to let that go. It's not that deep.
@@sakamotosan1887 Yeah I think that's very true too. And for many people dating or marrying someone with a very similar culture bodes well for relationship longevity. (E.g. no arguments about what religion to raise your kid with.)
Well I think it’s more of the area they grew up in so if old white girl grows up in a town full of Mexicans and Ecuadorians that’s probably the type of guy she’s gonna like
To be honest , they don’t considered Chinese people POC. Chinese are basically whit e people . POC are mostly blacks from America and Hispanics
I’m Black (Caribbean). My wife is Persian. I wasn’t looking for a Persian woman or any particular race. I found a beautiful woman. Full stop. This obsession with race on either side of the political/ideological spectrum is weird as hell.
It’s weird to realize someone is dating you because they have a fetish.
Thank you SO much for bringing this out.
The concept of "people of color" is the absolute worst othering I've seen in a long time. As if someone from the west indies, China, south America or Africa have ANYTHING in common just because they're "not white". As if white is the default and anyone not white are somehow interchangeable "just cause".
It's also basically used in order to get anyone not white into some kind of group and making it "us vs them". Yeah, real progressive, fighting racism with more racism. 🙄
White kinda is the majority here in America so it might make sense sometimes. But doesnt always make sense when they're talking about black issues and they just say poc
@@souljaboyisbad oh I get that as a majority white country, it can get a bit Squirrley. My issue is that it’s used as a means to lump anyone not white into some amorphous blob of a conglomeration in order to make it seem that anyone not white is somehow in the same boat. Or that it needs to be an “us versus them” mentality to get things done. Thomas Sowell talks about stuff like this all the time.
@@souljaboyisbad
White is not majority in the young generation and white is definitely not majority world wide.
@@lavish_1717 lol no shit dude. This is in an American context
I don't think your choice of ethnicities was the best pick. There are many Chinese people in the west indies (going back many generations). Deep African culture can be found in the west indies. And a place like Guyana is both in south America and usually classified as being part of the west indies (with both strong Chinese and African cultures within the nation). Or my dad would joke that you could see Venezuela (south America) from Trinidad (west indies) and as a Trinidadian, he has ancestors from Venezuela. Have you heard of capoeira? (Literally indicative of African slave traditions still present in Brazil/south America).
I could keep going, but I say all this to say... you make a good point. I actually agree with the general point being made. But the west indies is the true melting pot of the world... just a really bad example.
I wish as a society we can just stop categorizing ppl like this and just talk to each other like normal ppl.
Generally speaking, if they stop categorizing people, their theory of oppression-suppression would fall apart. They have to keep doing this so they stay in business.
Divided people are easier to control. Imagine if a whole nation decided the people in power weren't anymore. Dangerous. It's fine when they fight and spend billions vs each other.
You will NEVER believe who started the categorizing of people. Guess.
90s wasn’t any better 😭

I am hispanic. I tell people call me hispanic, latino or brown. Now, most my black friends say to call them black. A few say call them African American. But most black people that I know, don't like to be called African American. They tell me it's because society in general never calls white people European Americans. That's a good point. So, what do the majority of black people prefer? Black or African American? Do most of you all like Black? or African American? Thanks in advance!
"Default and other" is the perfect way to describe what "bipoc" is doing to us.

Underrated comment
I do not have a racial preference but I have a cultural preference. And that is because I prefer to be with someone who aligns with my same beliefs, life experiences, and parenting style. My husband is Mexican/ Caucasian and I am black/ Mexican. Although we don’t have the same exact experiences… we have a lot in common and relatability. So raising our child wasn’t too complicated when it came to holidays, food, travel etc
Sounds completely reasonable
exactly, i had to reject a girl a while ago because she is a muslim. I have nothing against muslims (have/had plenty of friends who are muslim) but i'm not religious at all and european so our mindset, habbits and lifestyle are just way too different to be in a relationship.
@@BurgerPwner She's not very Muslim if she came on to you. You made a mistake. She wasn't religious either.

I work at a UK university and I remember during pride week last year a young mixed race guy who also works there explained to me that the black and brown on the super trans pride flags all over the place were to represent 'BIPOC' people... and he said 'nobody asked me, I don't wanna be on your weird, stupid flag' 😹
It's true, the alphabet people are gonna include everyone except white men on their flag, which makes it inherently racist and sexist 😹
Unless they add us in too, and then it's basically meaningless...
The "black-and-brown-inclusive" pride flag is so stupid because the original pride flag already represented anyone who belongs to the LGBT+ community, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, etc., By adding black and brown colors to represent black and brown people to the flag, they're basically singling black and brown LGBT+ people out as if they're different from white LGBT+ people. Literally being inclusive by being racist
I was with this group of people and one of the ladies (probably in her 40’s) was black. She asked one of the white girls what’s the word they’re using now and the white girl said “BIPOC”. The black woman said “No, thanks. Please just say black” 😂

I'm a Brazilian, and I once had a gf that had family roots from the UK and Japan, and I related to her the most because we felt like outsiders in Brazilian culture. I think relatability, be it race or culture, plays a pretty big role in attraction.
It does play a lot in my opinion. It can also be the reason why some don’t date within their own culture. I really want to say culture is the big one race is just like to say what physical features you’re mostly attracted too.
Cara como você se sentia assim como Brasileiro? A gente tem de tudo aqui, você morava em um lugar muito homogêneo, ou algo assim?

@@lutaria16 Creio que seja isso. Aqui na Bahia, pela minha experiencia, é bem homogêneo em questão de tradições sociais e culturais. Onde moro, não existe lugar para sair com os amigos. Apenas ir para a praia ou jogar futebol, e se você não participar, você tá essencialmente de fora desses circulos. Pior ainda as demandas por normas sociais que eu não me sinto comfortavel em participar, muito toque entre pessoas, falta de respeito pelo espaço pessoal, ouvir o mesmo tipo de música em qualquer encontro social. O conteúdo de entretenimento e conhecimento aqui também é pobre, e por escolha, porque o povo brasileiro não quer ouvir algo equivalente à podcast de Lex Fridman ou Andrew Huberman. Ainda mais, os CZcamsrs que fazem videos de pura qualidade como o Internet Historian, provavelmente passariam aqui no Brasil sem atenção. Então muitas vezes eu me encontro sem tópico de conversa e completamente de fora. Imagino que em São Paulo seja um pouco diferente, mas é substituido por outros problemas.

Im not done watching but maaaaan im SO proud of Aba for calling them out!!! Proud black woman from MTL! So tired of ppl acting like they carry the burden of black ppl struggle but they always come behind with their alphabet soup nonsense. I kid you not. Most recent example the girl from VBAC FACTS Jen Kamel loves to shout black rights to everyone ans anyone. When I called her out that she would always delete my comments when i said why is she always shaming non black person who don't share the same perception, she blocked me. Told her black voices dont matter if it doesn't fit her narrative. Even the whole discrimination thing here in QC gay ppl used black ppl to insert themselves in there. Dont @ me on this.
I have no pref , and I don't like to be with people who have one for black folks like myself, it feels weird is all.
My black boss made me laugh because she pointed out that I should be called coloured over her. She had dark skin and did go darker when tanned but she said that my pale skin went slightly brown when tanned, red when blushing, really white when not feeling well and she saw me go greenish when I was really not well and she sent me home from work. As sympathetic as she tried to be that I wasn't well, she was giggling because she had seen a person look green before. Thankfully we had a good relationship and had a lot of friendly banter.

didnt mohammed ali say something similar on a show?
Linguistically speaking, “Person of Color” is indirect speech. And it is the same as it’s reciprocal -“colored person”, which is direct speech.
More examples:
“The strength of Aba” is the same as saying “Aba’s strength”
“The frustration of Preach” is the same as “Preach’s frustration”
Direct and Indirect speech.
For further clarification: the use of this term is the same, regressing to a time when blacks were called “ colored person”, which is a racist term. So these damn wokists are using racist terms to address non-white people. This is not even covert racism anymore. It is just blatant. These damn hypocrites.
This is the problem.
So the next time someone refers to u as “poc” just tell them to use the term “colored person “ It is the damn same thing. This will expose their hypocrisy, and make them look stupid.
They didn't go to school. It's no use explaining. You'll have to dumb it down even more!
Exactly and it's some shit someone who definitely was white and I college came up with its literally just othering non white races.
George Carlin has a great bit about this
I am not offended by the term "People of Color", but I don't really identify with it either. I understand its use, but "colored person" and "people of color" have historically been used very differently in the US and therefore while literally having the same meaning do not have the same meaning in actuality (in actual use and understanding of its use). The way that Aba described the term "People of Color" is in fact how it is used here in the US.
To illustrate my point the term, "colored person" is now considered outdated and pejorative, but the term "people of color" is considered inclusive and respectful by most official sources.
It's not direct or indirect speech, but ok.
As a South African, and a person of colour, we've been called coloureds for years, so its a normality...well maybe it's cause I'm not living in the States or Canada...but I'm not really bothered by it.
Man, imagine feeling entitled to attraction or sex from anyone for any reason. People are allowed their preferences so long as it’s safe, sane and legal.
FINALLY someone says it. I can't take seriously anyone that says POC or any other term like that. It pisses me off to hear that, it's like a combination of being both degraded and being walked around as if I had the skin of a wet paper bag.
Reducing people to an abbreviation is a horrible idea.

fact’s, when some one says something that’s technically racist but they don’t mean it you can tell, if someone wants to be racist you can tell they are racist, intent matters way more than saying the “right thing”.

@@tinygrove7623 on top of that, especially if she's older, there was a time and place when "colored" was the correct inoffensive term to use. People referred to themselves as colored just as normally as anyone else would refer to them.

intention matters ❤ thank you for recognizing that!
It baffles me that people still bring it up as if people who look different are just sooooo weird and alien. If you live in a conservative neighbourhood its likely that you want pretty much the same sort of things out of life as her, how you got there may be different but thats also probably true for her bridge buddies.
We have to stop thinking that people who look different think differently or want different things.

Thank you! I’ve always thought the POC and BIPOC phrases were goofy and you guys explained it perfectly.

Biracial Puerto Rican here btw
lol yes. some minorities dont get along with each other. black and asians especially
Nah man, people from other countries (like me) know your "communities" aren't monoliths, and that's why it's so weird when Americans present themselves as such.
There is no such thing as "the black community" or "asian community" in my country. You have people from specific cities or areas in town, people who have specific jobs, go to specific schools or have specific hobbies, but that type of grouping is all based on something that you chose or was chosen for you, not something that you can't change.
queer communities do NOT get along lol. there are so many egg shells to walk on THEY cant even keep up with it
The queer community does not get along. Or at least there's hundred of them who are so woke that they disagree with the majority.

I feel like jokes in general should be dependent of the context and the specific type of company you're in. If a friend of mine for example, started to jockingly called me mean names and insults, I'll be on board with it and do the same. If a stranger did it on the other hand, it would be weird. On the same light, if a friend of mine asked me to not to make those jokes with them, then i probably should respect their boundaries.
@@hineraable ya like i was on a team and we always ripped on each other we had a team tradition of each "race" spliting off and making slurs for each other.
In context it was hilarious and a cool bounding expirence for kids that came from such diffeent backgrounds but i would never do it randomly
What’s funny is I don’t have any preferences in terms of attractiveness; I’ve been attracted to people of all ethnicities, races, etc. I’ve never been like “I won’t date x” or “I could never see myself with y.”
BUT, I think a lot of people don’t understand that dating/serious relationships can get difficult with cultural differences.
For instance, I likely won’t fall deeply in love with or even seriously date someone from Japan or Norway or Uganda or Ukraine. Why?
Well, because I’m American and there’s going to be deeply ingrained cultural differences that will result in us just not understanding/relating to things about the other.
I would never count it out but it’s just not as likely. Even with the US, there’s subcultural differences that may pull people apart.
I’ve never really understood people who have barriers to attraction on racial lines, but I guess I understand dating preferences because sometimes the cultural factor plays into it. I’ve just never really seen that as a huge barrier in my experience
Everyone has preferences and they are generally visual preferences with the exception that we usually are attracted to personalities that compliment our own or that we value in ourselves.
Beyond that I think most people tend toward their own ethnicity because of cultural connection, although that is slowly wearing down as some societies become more multicultural.
The more unconscious the preference is, the less likely that it is based on hatred even if it has roots in cultural prejudices.
The mental gymnastics they need to go through to make themselves think they're racist is wild.
Date who you wanna date you're not obligated to date anyone you don't want to. You like who you like it is what it is!
I mean, of course they’re gonna go through mental gymnastics, the past few years it’s literally been ingrained in our damn heads that everything we do (speaking as a white person, hence i say we) is rooted in racism of some kind, gotta do that mental gymnastics because the other side are pulling it on you as well.
Let's not act like having a racial preference for dating isn't typically follow by other biases. The amount of ppl you can find who don't think black women are attractive and think black little girls are less cute/less cherishable than white little girls are surprisingly high.
@@goddessrick8734 statistically black women are viewed as less attractive though. Is that tied to bias? Maybe. I think more likely it just comes down to general features that we find attractive. Black women tend to appear more masculine (strong jawline, muscular, broad shoulders), which most men aren't really looking for. However on the other side of the coin that's why statistically black men are viewed as very attractive because of those same masculine features.
TLDR, I don't think there's any racism here, could there be bias? Maybe, but I think it just comes down to physical features and what men find attractive in women. 🤷♂️
@@XAn0nymousX0I don’t think it’s the masculine feature tbh. I personally think because majority of black women are either obese or overweight.
@@XAn0nymousX0 So black women are less attractive bc they have masculine features? I have no idea what you're smoking. I've heard black women described as curvier and bustier than other women but not more physically masculine.
Feels like you validated the necessity of better representation in media if ppl like you are making it to what I assume is adulthood with the idea that black women are more Manish and consequently less attractive than other groups of women to most ppl.
You quite literally value them less as women which does lead to a lot of unfortunate bias that lead society to treating black women badly.

It's an internet term. Most people don't even know what it means
I'm from Toronto and went to York university. This term was actually used all the time on campuses. It's liberal university term. Nobody on the streets uses idiotic lingo like that but you know how campuses are. Every year they'd actually invent new terms and shit. It was very weird.
Only white liberals and confused people used BIPOC as a term.
In South Africa , we use coloured as the 3 race that we have , i would wager that calling them a person of colour would get you stabbed fast because they have their own culture and are proud of their identity. In the UK it depends on where your from if that acceptable or not, by grouping people i do find it offensive and have never gotten in trouble for speaking about this.
I'm from South Asia, and I'm expected to marry someone from my group, i.e a girl from a Muslim family in Southern India. The fact that you can fight about dating preferences and whatnot shows how integrated society over there really is, and that's cool.

I grew up with a Filipino family because my parents weren’t around often growing up, one of the sons (about 6 or 7) said something along the lines of having a black friend. The mother than said verbatim “we don’t say black, we say coloured people”. I thought (at 10 years old, 2012/2010) that’s worse than saying this thing or any slur lmao it was so odd to me even as a young child because I’ve always hear people say it was controversial to call someone black and others say it’s fine.
A lot of the times race groups stick together because the culture is so different between races, I find that black people and white people are a lot alike growing up and tend to believe the same religion in Canada and america. Where I work I’m the only white person and only women, I work with Indian men, a couple of them asked me out and I’ve asked them if they would ever marry a white girl and they say no. A lot of races and cultures have misconceptions about each other and whether it’s the exception or the rule I don’t really think matters. I don’t really think that is a problem because who knows if it will be different in the future(in North America).
If you call black people “people of colour” then you got to call white people “people of no colour”🤣🤣🤣
I think you'd feel at home on a different continent.
Just the line "race groups stick together" is uncomfortable for me, because it's so blatantly racist in my eyes, since I grew up in a country where there isn't really such a prevalent group mentality, unless you're from the capitol, where they accidentally made immigrant ghettos in the 80's and 90's that have persisted since.
Needless to say, I don't like the racist attitudes that people from that part of the city have.
@@Zeverinsen I didn’t mean it in a racist way and the people who say it don’t either, you can relate better to people who were born in the same area/country, you experience the same culture, it’s hard to change that. You can call those people close minded I guess but it makes sense why they “stick together”. Same culture, same practice etc.
If you are born in America or Canada it’s very different since we are very open to different cultures ( more Canada). I’ve noticed that people who come from other countries like India want to be with other Indians which I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, it’s very different from a lot of other cultures.

Always thought the coloured person thing was interesting. In South Africa we’ve got coloured people, which is essentially a race of its own consisting mixed race people. So hearing that it’s a derogatory term in the west is quite interesting. It was even a whole thing a couple weeks ago on TikTok where this South African coloured girl essentially made a “coloured aunties be like” type video for fun and Americans came in the comments harassing her for saying that
Date who you want. Who you are- who you _really_ are- isn't your skin color.
At my high school there is a “POC Alliance” club. I find it very strange that 1. A school needs a club strictly because of a race and 2. People of color seems like just such a dehumanizing term for someone who has more melanin. I really don’t get it.
Agree. If a "White" club was suggested, the school board would instantly reject the idea and call it segregation. Out of curiosity, is that club popular?
Can white people join the club? Cause otherwise there's some pretty obvious rules they're breaking.

I use to hesitate because a few years ago when my sister was dating a black guy, him and his friends would be quick to throw out the race card, so I went from saying "black people" to "people of colour" to "non-whites", it wasn't until I actually got my first black friend that I realised I was right when I referred to black people as "black people". He even simplified it for me by telling me "how you would refer to a white person is the same way you should refer to black people", the only reason I shifted from using "black person/people" is because I didn't want to appear racist/rude towards my sisters partner and his friends. As I got older I realised that some people are just assholes and like to turn every non-issue into an issue.
First black friend, wow that’s inconceivable to me. Different strokes for different folks

I feel kind of weird saying bipoc because I think it makes me sound like someone who is afraid to say black, but I’ve been told by guys on dates to use the term people of color. I’m Native American though and I’ve also been told by black and white people that I shouldn’t say Indian but rather “First Nations people”- despite the fact that my 95 year old grandma has said Indian her entire life and I’ve never once heard someone in my family use the term First Nations People. Idk- it’s not my place to decide that for anyone and I’ll try my best to refer to someone as whatever makes them most comfortable.. but personally bipoc and poc seem like othering terms, as in “everything other than white”, which seems like something a white person would make up to distinguish whiteness 🤷🏻♀️
I always try to say "native american" just out of respect, but A) I don't have many interactions with NAs so it's really just for my own feelings, and I acknowledge that, and B ) I sure as heck won't force that on you! Wild that someone would tell you how to refer to your own people.
i would say just call them whatever you feel like except anything blatantly racist but in today’s society everything is fucking racist.
@@StevoDesign I think Native American is probably the best term generally to use but I've witnessed some pretty intense debates between NA's from different regions over this topic, on top of who gets to call themselves Indian, who gets to call out cultural appropriation, what IS cultural appropriation etc. There will always be murky waters because the term Indian is an aggregation of a variety of tribes and so obviously people will have differing opinions and not one answer will be correct, which is why I just think you should ask the person and know no matter what you will always piss off someone somewhere!

I feel like there's so much hate on each side of the spectrum of preference. What I mean by that: I've heard a lot of black people look down upon other black people that date white women or women of any other race than their own, and that black people should only date black people, otherwise you hate your race and are trying to diminish black-ness. On the opposite side of that I've also heard people say that if you have a racial preference in dating at all, that you are racist. It's all crazy to me. Date who you want to date, love who you love. Having a preference is not racist. If you have a preference and you only want to date within your race, that's fine, as long as you don't look at another black person and think they're somehow "less black" because they are dating a white person, that goes for any race, but I've noticed that black people do it a lot.
As a dark skinned Hispanic guy, I have dealt with more issues with light skin Hispanic people. Happens I am 6'2 about 200 lbs, so I am way bigger than most Hispanic people. Only Hispanic women that like me are usually darker, and I love my dark skin Hispanic women. Light Hispanic people have also been negative to me and have been the worse due to me being darker then others.
@Michelle neither, I am a dark skin Hispanic person, but lucky I am over 6 foot, so I can be open to our generation.
People are entitled to their preferences of course, but I do think that if we take the time to analyze those preferences, some of them will start to fall apart. I used to tell myself that whatever happens, I'm going to marry a brunette. I didn't know exactly why I held this preference, but later in life I was given the opportunity to explore it. And as I examined my inclinations I realized that some of my favorite female characters in TV and film were brunettes, and they embodied traits that I found uniquely attractive. I found that I was associating those traits with the hair color, when in reality those traits are universal, and can be found in anybody regardless of the color of their hair. I think the same can be said for many "racial" preferences as well. I think we are attracted to our *_perceptions_* of those races, when in reality, the traits we desire can be found in a wide variety of ethnicities. Again, we all have our preferences, and we are all entitled to them, but I don't think that means we shouldn't explore *_why_* we hold those preferences, and earnestly seek to determine if we aren't holding ourselves back by limiting our own dating pools.
Well said. I know a lot of people (including myself) to apply this to, but it was hard to put it in words.

I think I'm probably an actual racist, or have some deep racial biases at least. I'm a white Australian guy and I find all ethnicities of people attractive *except* Aboriginal Australian women. Black, Asian, White, Latin, Indigenous American, Arab, etc. There are hot women from every part of the world but I've just never seen an Aboriginal woman I found physically attractive unless they were only like 5%. If I met a beautiful Aboriginal woman I wouldn't exclude her due to my bias but it'd be weird if I ever had to explain why I don't find 99.999% of people with her ethnicity attractive at all.

But being honest... everyone has a preference. Don't be afraid of what you like just because someone else may not like it.. be yourself and know yourself, and you'll be happy
People aren’t born with racial preferences… Race is a social construction so if you have a racial preference then you have a social reason for it. I’m not saying that there’s necessarily a problem with it but I just am pointing out that it’s not natural to have racial preferences but something completely dependent on your socialization in the society that you live in and unfortunately people that just think it’s “anti-SJW” to embrace their racial preferences never actually reflect on why they have them in the first place but just want to “own the Libs” or be against what they consider to be progressive ideas or whatever dumb stuff like that. I’m not gonna say either that there aren’t people that will hound others for having racial preferences which can cause such a reactionary response(I mean that in both terms of the word), but just having a racial preference doesn’t come from nowhere and unfortunately I feel like people don’t take the time to analyze why they feel a certain way.

I had this discussion last night. If you're going to care about identity at all, it's probably best to identify with your cultural genealogy. Where I'm from there's a distinction in the black community between those who's families recently migrated from Africa, those who recently migrated from Haiti, those who recently migrated from Jamaica, or Trinidad, or any other island. My grandparents come from the Deep South and their roots grew from slavery. The culture they grew up in coming from Georgia and Alabama is very different than the cultures of the places I previously mentioned which is also very different than the dark complected Dominicans and Hondurans and people who come from South American, or latin carribean cultures. And I would assume that those with African heritage in European and even Asian countries would have very different cultural identities as well. We're all very different so either view everyone as human or acknowledge cultural differences down to the T. This whole everyone against white people shit is weird because there are white cultures that are extremely different from one another as well. Being an Hasidic Jewish in Brooklyn, or an Irish in Boston, or a having French heritage and living in Louisiana, or being of Northern European decent and living in Cali are all going to provide very different cultural experiences. Another great example is thinking all Indians are the same when there's an entire cast system there. Peoples stories are way too complex for this POC bullshit.
