The Ceylon boy is highly intelligent and very observant, also extremely self aware it is very refreshing to hear him speak

I love the fact that the innocence in these children lead them to honest discussions and admit their prejudices which would lead to meaningful solutions.

The Ceylon and the Denmark student are really bright, they made valuable points. Wish I could find the book Inger (Denmark student) spoke of.

We should bring this show back🙌🏼

Watching these videos just shows that all of our problems as people are rooted in our prejudices and biases (conscious and unconscious). The focus for the future should be how to strike a balance and not be blinded by it.

So what happened to us being able to sit down like this to talk about sensitive subjects without getting angry or butt hurt. It's sad that we lost this form of communication.

Vietnamese woman really clapped back against the French bigot. How can France as a country fight for liberty, equality and fraternity yet deny that very same right for the Vietnamese. Glad that Dien Bien Phu happened. Nonetheless a very interesting discussion.

Ceylon = Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 nowadays. The country's representative had great views but I'd like to clarify that his views on women being inferior do not reflect the views of the country present or in the past. We elected the world's first female head of government after all 🙂👍🏼

Amazing views from the Ceylon man. Good people exists then, now and forever

Wish we Sri Lankans had scholars like this boy who represented us in the parliament

Ceylon is renamed to Sri Lanka

I'm glad Phan Thi Hoai Phuong (the vietnamese girl) got to finish so strongly, I was a little worried when it felt like she hadn't spoken as much in the debate I had wondered if maybe she wasn't as fluent in english, but that last part proved that wrong--- and either way, it was just nice to hear another person's comprehensive ideas

didnt know that dope was a word back then.

Denmark is awesomely open minded and kind.. no one wonder they're one of the happiest countries in the world

Damn this Sri Lankan boy had the best comeback. He made french girl's mouth shut by bringing up french revolution 😀😀

Very interesting, found this chanel by accident precious footage. I’m from VietNam.

Wow. this video is gold

As an Algerian (north Africa) I am so proud of the Vietnamese girl for clapping back , my country was colonized for 132 years! If all having a prejudice against the French is quite justified, and unfortunately nothing hasn’t changed from then we are still getting discriminated against 🙂

I like how they are constructively! criticizing each other

wow what a show. There is no TV show like this today. World should look at this and have similar conversations and bring problems out in the open and unite people. fascinating how the world was like back then.

Celyon guy is awesome too.. very refreshing and eye opening debate

@ 25:56 well said Joseph Jansen! Hats off to you!

Denmark is really making a point about the thing where she says US is proving aid to different countries, promoting stuff about democracy but cannot see it on its own people. I believe during their time and our time racism is still happening but not that prevalent as of now.

I hope that Ceylonese kid grew up to do great by his people.

it is very common to find such a very articulate educated sri lankan still❤

Ceylon is brilliant.

Love the part of the French and Viet arguing

Ceylon Dude was fab, so calm and articulate. The kids back then had so much wisdom and maturity.

Helen Hiett Waller 1913-1961 Host of these debates: PDF format there is a memoriam-

in sri lanka we can still find such bright minded young people but due to lack of political knowledge of elder people and innocence of sri lankans as whole politician ruined my country we had the fastest growing econmy in asia right behind japan in late80s to 90 we could have been one of the greatest country such potential we had everything we have everything hope people of sri lanka see through these political games and archive the greatness we all deserved in the first place❤ fun fact: eventhough this boy hear stated that women are inferior to men sri lanka is the first country in the whole world to elect a woman as a head of state. also todays singapore was built by sri lankans we gave them the first computer it is thanks to our engineers they learnt about computer building designing and logistics the great lee quan u once said he want to make singapore just like sri lanka we were the pillars of modern singapore❤

He feels women are inferior??? I'm sorry, that's completely shocking to hear and that certainly was not the attitude of Sri Lankans in the 60s. Sri Lanka had the first female president, they were very pushy about getting women into STEM, even the LTTE had equal numbers of female recruits.

The girl from Denmark is so kind and smart s2

FYI: Ceylon is Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 today.

media, education, travel matter.

I realized that french people doctrined that french girl as a race superiority, conqueror and god-like to others. But french girl was beautiful ❤️

25:18 French: "No!" 😂

Southern Vietnamese girls is smart and talented. While she was invited to the US to participate in the debate, North Vietnam was fighting tiredly with the French, South Vietnam at that time did not lose to any Asian country, and now it is always at the bottom

0:40 Vietnam

I wonder which Viet Nam she is from since this is 1956

Có ai vietsub cái này chưa ạ

Never knew a sri lankan were here

Ceyloon is Sri Lanka

Intelligent Kids

Dear compatriots, "All human are born with equal rights. They are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." That immortal word is in the American Declaration of Independence in 1776. Broadly speaking, that sentence means: all peoples in the world are born equal; Every nation has the right to life, the right to happiness and the right to freedom. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of the French Revolution of 1791 also said: "All men are born free and equal in rights, and must always be free and equal in rights". Those are facts that no one can deny. Yet for more than eighty years, the French colonialists took advantage of the flag of freedom, equality and fraternity to rob our country and oppress our compatriots. Their actions are contrary to humanity and justice. Politically, they absolutely do not give our people any democratic freedom. They have enforced inhuman laws. They established three different regimes in the center, south and north to prevent the unification of our country, to prevent our people from uniting. They have built more prisons than schools. They directly slaughtered our patriots. They bathed our uprisings in pools of blood. They bind public opinion and enforce the policy of stupidity. They use drugs and alcohol to weaken our race. Economically, they exploited our people to the bone marrow, making our people poor, needy, and our country shabby and desolate. They robbed land, mines, raw materials. They impose hundreds of unreasonable taxes, making our people, especially farmers and merchants, impoverished. They don't let our bourgeoisie raise their heads. They exploit our workers in an extremely cruel way. In the autumn of 1940, when the Japanese fascists invaded Indochina to open more bases to fight their allies, the French colonialists surrendered and opened the door of our country to welcome the Japanese. Since then, our people have suffered two layers of chains: French and Japanese. Since then our people more miserable, poor. As a result, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, from Quang Tri to Tonkin more than two million of our compatriots starved to death. On March 9, this year, Japan disarmed the French army. The French colonialists either fled or surrendered. So not only could they not "protect" us, on the contrary, in 5 years, they brutally sold our country twice to Japan. Before March 9, how many times the Viet Minh called on the French to join forces to fight the Japanese. The French colonialists did not respond, and directly terrorized the Viet Minh even more. Even when they lost, they ruthlessly killed the majority of political prisoners in Yen Bai and Cao Bang. However, towards France, our compatriots still maintain a lenient and humane attitude. After the upheaval on March 9, the Viet Minh helped many French people to cross the border, rescued many French from Japanese prison, and protected their lives and property. The truth is that since the autumn of 1940, our country has become a colony of Japan, not a colony of France anymore. When Japan surrendered to the Allies, the people of our country rebelled to seize power to establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The truth is that our people have taken back Vietnam from the Japanese, not from the French. France ran, Japan surrendered, King Bao Dai abdicated. Our people have broken the shackles of colonialism for nearly a hundred years to build an independent Vietnam. Our people overthrew the decades-old monarchy and established a democratic republic. Therefore, we, the provisional government of the new Vietnam, representing the entire Vietnamese people, declare that we will completely separate from colonial relations with France, abolishing all treaties that France has signed to return home. Vietnam, abolishing all French privileges in the country of Vietnam. The entire Vietnamese people, above and below, resolutely oppose the plots of the French colonialists. We believe that the allied countries, having recognized the principles of national equality at the conferences of Theherang and the Old Kim Son, cannot fail to recognize the independence of the Vietnamese people. A people who have courageously fought against French slavery for more than eighty years, a people who have bravely sided with allies against fascism for many years, that people must be free! People must be independent! For the above reasons, we, the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, solemnly declare to the world that: Vietnam has the right to enjoy freedom and independence, and in fact has become a free and independent country. The entire Vietnamese nation is determined to put all its spirit and strength, life and wealth to uphold that right of freedom and independence. Declaration of Independence, read at the National Day ceremony on September 2, 1945 at Ba Dinh Square Through the crimes and cowardice of the French army, in 1954 you have no right to return to Vietnam in the name of Vietnam as a French colony, the French have openly civilized and protected Vietnam from the great powers in the world.

truly a very funny coincedence ... as they all agree some particular colour feel superior than others

Sri lankan kid destroyed france girl damn😂

The French girl was very smart. Maybe if more French people would have been like her, the mess in France could have been avoided.

Eisenhower's years.

@1:45 Is it just me or does the French girl seem like Aubrey Plaza with the affect from parks and Rex???

Prejudice comes from the upbringing of their families and their government, through lessons in history and their own subjective view through their own experiences, so what they see (just a part of it) of all things will create prejudices, prejudices will change when they have more experience and awareness. The important thing to create prejudice is that when people do not have understanding, empathy, tolerance, everyone is the same, when they die, they also become a skeleton, they do not put themselves in others. to experience and feel and then make comments according to their feelings and lifestyle to judge others. As God or Buddha as well as Alla said, the greatest and best strength of man and everything is the Love and Love of the Gods for all beings, not only humans! When there is love, there is no suffering.

1956 Vietnam just won over France in the battle to liberate Dien Bien Phu

this is a clear example for you dont want to stand against a sri lankan when everthing else equal😂 youll get crushed

Vietnamese girl from South Vietnam or North Vietnam????

Inger rocks

In 1956, just 02 years after the defeat of the French in Dien Bien Phu, the Vietnamese lady was quite elegant and not to tell the truth of what French did and exploit our country in nearly 100 years of colonization. It is quite simple because she came from South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) at that time under American puppet regime of Ngo Dinh Diem, she could not or dared not to tell bad thing about French or American atrocities in Vietnam. From her tone, I guess that she was from Hanoi and migrated to the South after the French was kicked-out in the North in 1954. Nothing to say about who collaborated with the colonialist and imperialist.

13:20 Shes talking about my Grandfather 😂🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿 Tahya JAZAIR lool Yes that's all we know. Sometimes that happens when you bring your military to occupy peoples countries :/ Those North Africans were Hero's 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

Haha srilanka still developing

Those old videos are yet another proof that the more generations there are from the point of natural selection events (WWII) - the less capable the people of newer generations become. Don't get me wrong, I do not wish to anyone to go through natural selection. My ancestors were fighting in that war just like ancestors of the most of those who are living nowadays and I'm grateful to them all for being strong enough to endure and survive and to make it possible for my parents, me and other people to exist and it is sad that so many people had to die during those events, however if we were to observe the humanity as a species from the biological and evolution points of view - this said species is going through the processes of degradation of the health, strength and intellectual abilities of individuals of the population (not all of them of course, I'm generalising here). What's even worse is that the modern standards of life and education as well as political priorities of different governments are not making it any better. Sadly, at a certain point this will lead to the repetition of those events one way (war) or another (natural disasters and/or evolution of diseases and/or human crated disasters like covid f.e.) as the history is such a thing that tends to repeat itself after a while. Well, that's my opinion on, experience and observations of the life.

Ceylon kid is here to make some women very angry. Look like he was against feminisms long before the modern feminisms took it's current shape...... Lol
