I love how he says people are trying to decide how they want to view you culturally once they can get your answer about who you are

I love when people ask me what i am. My identity and culture make me who i am. My ancestors live on through me.

Wow his voice and facial expression on giving answers is so awsm that his smile in middle conversation is like cherry on top. God bless Avan Jogia. Lots of love from India

I loved him in Tut. Such a brilliant man. Great job!

He has the cutest smile😘😘

His voice is so soothing omg.

When I was in my teenage years, some people would ask me what my nationality/ethnic background was and I would tell them and they had the nerve to tell me oh nooooo you have to be something else like wth does that mean ignorance at its finest 🙄

Thanks for this! I adore Avan!

Yes, I can relate. I get that question all the time and it has to be one of the most annoying questions. Or they’ll just assume you’re a certain race. That’s so ignorant and impolite.

He's amazing!!

Thanks Tamron! Never have I seen a segment positive as this towards us mixed race people. It’s like we don’t exist.

I am of mixed-race heritage and do 'not' for one moment think I have to represent my Father or Mother's heritage, only my own 'mixed heritage (because that 'is 'my race). Neither do I think I need to justify my mixed-'raceness" to those 'authors of the question "what are you" just for the benefit or need to make them more comfortable. I actually believe that this question comes from a place of 'secret' admiration 'especially from those who labour to ask it in the first place. I always promote my mixed-'raceness' ....with pride, never have I seen it as anything less, nor ever will I.

I also get asked that question quite a lot but not because of my race because of my accent. I have a very international accent. It’s a mixture of British, Italian, and Spanish. (Was raised in Italy, have Spanish family but lived in the UK for the past 3 years)

We may not have known what he was mixed with (or really even cared)... but We do know That Jade loves him.

Doesn't matter who we are we are all human and were all beautiful ❤️

I miss Twisted he was on!!

Also I have the book & reccomend it!

He's a talented, charming and beautiful human. Loved him as Rex.

I’m definitely checking out his book 📚👍🏾

Where can I get the book big fan of avan jogia ...he's so beautiful

Hi Tamron hall ..all the way from South Africa...here in South Africa we are not asked who we are necessary because they can tell. We have a unique group here which is celebrated and loved by our country as we are called "coloureds" (mixed) but too us it's not based on the America term but our ow term coloured as we are mixed with so many races...an example could be me coloured I could have a white mother and black father I become go on to marry and Indian woman making a new race and so forth as South africa is so diverse Black, white,coloured(mixed) ,Indian,Muslim people. Culture is celebrated here and on each one's cultural days we embrace it altogether...and are called the rainbow nation.

I need season 2 of Twisted

People don't realize that the question "What are you" can be offensive to some

My daughters say "Multi-Racial" Or "Bi-Racial" and also informed me that if someone has the nerve to ask. They feel MIXED IS A DOG.... I do have 5 grown children and 9+ grandbabies now so it is a family rule "What difference does it make and if it does to someone they are not worth their time."

What happend to his instagram? Does anyone know something???

the moment i saw him in Victorious i knew he was indian/ south asian

i knew it avan jogia was indian and he is half indian and he had an indian accent and he looks saudi arabian like aladdin the cartoon from 1994.

I'm mixed but I ask people what ethnicity they are sometimes. I just ask out of curiosity.

thanks tamron for representing and showing us mixed people more ❤

❤

There was literally a person who asked me if I was related to Anne Franks because I'm Jewish, since im not the "take the high road" kindof person, I knew this person was German so I asked if they were related to Hitler! A awkward silence fell after that.... *insert mic drop*🎤

love you avan

It's so sad people still have to deal with that ,it should not matter anymore if you black,white,brown,red yellow.....the only thing i am interestet in is the different culture and the way someone experience my culture. I am German and still people think about Holocaust when they hear where i am comming from,but even my father was a little Boy when the second world war started, we had nothing to do with it, but will allways be the Nazis Stop thinking in boxes 🙋‍♀️

Indian and white. My country we have lots of mixture Indian and African; Chine , African, and Indian; Spanish and African; African and white Portuguese and African Portuguese and Syrian and Indian. And the list goes on. I can see he's Indian and white.

I’ve just never got caring about peoples race or ethnicity in that type of way, like I interact with people as individuals based on their own personality traits as I get to know them. I couldn’t care less about what race or ethnicity someone is when it comes to how I treat them or interact with them. I don’t even care in the context of like needing to know so that I can know what slurs not to use around them because I don’t use any of those slurs anyways, even in private, so that’s not even a concern of mine. As a white person I’ve never once had someone use the way I look as a basis for how to interact with me, at least that I know of, so I can’t imagine doing it to anyone else. It’s just such a weird concept and mindset to me.

He is mistaken for something other than Indian??

Resident evil was is a great movie

Didn’t know he was mixed

Race and ethnicity comes up quickly in the Entertainment industry and in Entertainment casting because it is unfortunately still run by racists who perpetuate the generational ignorance and racist views of the colonizers and conquistadors. A story is a story no matter who plays the part unless it is a historical story in a historical context that needs to reflect a certain tribe of people and a certain period of time and a certain location or place in the world that the story occurs. You want to get a person to be as closely associated with the True original person as possible. But if we are just dealing with original stories of any kind and all kind of stories about people and situations those stories can be played by ANYONE. Hollyweird and ALL productions need to stop with the lies and lame excuses why their is still in 2021 no diversity in their casting. The TRUTH is, It is basically because they are all racists. There is a WHOLE WORLD full of talented people and they do not all have white skin and they do not all have a jewish background. If the writers, producers, directors, filmmakers and casting directors aren't flexible enough as to WHO can play those parts they are just admitting and acknowledging their ignorance, racism and exclusionary practices. They are admitting that they cannot grow or be flexible enough to see those stories as inclusive universal stories and experiences that all PEOPLE WORLDWIDE experience. Because in the end, an original story with no specific historical context or location, it can be played by ANYONE. A great actor or actress will draw you into that story no matter what color their skin is or what background they are from. The script and or story is about a certain HUMAN Experience and it is about the great acting. The most important thing is that the story is believable and resonates with the audience, and there is GREAT ACTING. Great actors do not have a certain skin color or a certain religious background & connections or look a certain way. Great Actors they come in all shades, colors and from all different backgrounds. What color your skin is and what your ethnic background, and religious and or political beliefs are makes no difference and it is secondary to the story especially if it's not a historical production or historical piece of work. The majority of stories that are created can be played by ANY GREAT ACTOR in the WORLD from ANY BACKGROUND. THEY JUST NEED TO STOP WITH THE LIES & EXCUSES WHY THERE ISN'T MORE DIVERSITY in CASTING in HOLLYWEIRD & EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD IN ALL ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA PRODUCTIONS. STOP WITH THE LIES & EXCUSES.Diversity in casting is needed more now today than ever before. But it will never change if the Entire World is still stuck on Stupid and refuses to change their evil racist ways. That’s why I encourage all entertainers that have made it to a certain level of success as well as independent media producers, I encourage them to work together and do your productions independently away from the Racist Evil Hollywood machine. Soon It’s gonna be 2022 and they are still operating like they are stuck in 1492. The devil and his demons ain't gonna never change I don't know why people keep asking them to change.

can he be the next batman

*This man is, 75% European and 25% Indian basically, he's Caucasian; I would like to read his book* . 🍎📚

Aven I need you

❤️💍

He was so cute in victorious but tbh this hair colour don't suits him no offense but I like him ❤️

💍❤👑

When I see Avan Jogia I just remember Rajat Tokas ....y??? ..I have no clue

Maluma

OH NOW AFTER THE MOVIE HE MAKES HIS HAIR LOOK MORE LIKE LEON KENNEDY WTF

Isn't British, English? So he's East Indian, British and Irish. Got it.

This man is just white so this is kinda confusing. His father is Gujarati which is Indo-Iranian otherwise known as ARYAN, literally the origin of the term.

People are very stupid for asking this question!!! people need to realize that we are all made of DIRT!!! And dirt is nothing!!!

I look mixed race,my features are mixed race. I'm not mixed race,I'm Black. During slavery alot of our ancestors were mixed up. Not a big deal. The World will always have a problems with race. Some will accept you and some we not. As long is you accept yourself. You will be ok. Some Blacks accept me and some don't, some Whites accept me and some don't and I'm okay with that.

Sorry no such thing as "RACE "...We are all HUMANS.

Honestly, the terrible bottle job has all my attention. Bleach is not a hair color. I hope he plans on adding dye. Also, quit leaving bleach in for too long or opt for hair lighting cream.

ma che parte penosa ti ha fatto fare il regista

Still not comparable to being mixed with black🤷🏾‍♂️

He still had no business playing Leon S. Kennedy. He doesn't look anything like the character and did not embody that all American vibe. He's cool otherwise though

@lisa porter yes but many of the hollywood AFRICAN AMERICAN celebrities dont look black they look light skin & mixed race.ebony mag says they use this lotion fer.la which makes them look far more light skin & mixed race and not black anymore. Im not surprised everybody seems to change their appearance these days.
