I'm am so glad I found this because I thought I was alone. People think it's the best of both worlds but really instead of being a part of both worlds your not really a part of any. This hit me hard. It's really something that I have struggled with my whole life. I am half white and half hispanic. And I especially hate when people want to fight you: "What!? Your not Mexican!" or "Your too dark to be white"

My brother was half black half spanish. He was my friend before he died. I feel these ppls pain. I am full black btw. I had to deal with alot of ugly shaming as a black man. It gets better ppl. I think i am beautiful. Stay strong my mixed family.

1:08 he's the 1st person I've ever seen with truly GREEN eyes

Why as a biracial kid, am i just seeing this now? Love this

YASSSSS. I am biracial and have had to deal with this question my entire life.

I’m at very happy I found this video. My mom is Chinese, and my dad is Caucasian. I genuinely thought I was alone, and I’m happy that our voices can be heard. As early as grade 6, there was this girl that didn’t even believe I was Asian, at all. She took one look at me and told me I was white. Who are you, to tell me, my race?! I was furious but had a crush on her so I showed my reaction in an excited, involved way. I was just happy to interact with her, and didn’t know how to act with racism first hand, because it really was my first time. I’m in grade 8 now, and brought it up to her again one day, and she told me it was a joke. She obviously wasn’t a funny person. Like I said, I’m in grade 8 now, and I have dealt with a good (actually bad) amount of racism. And just because I am only half asian, doesn’t mean I’m not asian. That is half of me. 50%. No, I’m not 100% white, no, I’m not 100% Asian, I am half of both. And nobody, NOBODY, can tell me otherwise.

Human is the only definition we need.

If I’m being honest, I’m biracial but cannot really relate in any fashion.

I myself, am biracial. My mother is black and my father white. As a teen, I have to deal with the odd looks when I’m with my father, or questions like, “it’s hard to believe your half black”. Now my mother, it’s clear to tell she is black. But she is on the lighter side, still darker than me though. I have the hair, The voice, the understanding and astonishment of the culture, but I have never felt fully black or white. I would try to tell people my struggles, and people would tell me it was amazing and cool because I got to be too races. But it didn’t feel like it. Was I acting ghetto if I relayed to other, and hung out with other black girls? At some point I realized I wasn’t white. So then forward, how can I be more black? It felt exhausting honestly.

Honestly, i tell people im mixed and they either treated it as a joke or they told me your black just accept it

Wait- why is it bad to ask someone "what are you" I get asked this question all the time and I ask others as well. I ask this question to everybody, not just to people who are "ethnically ambiguous" (which I think is gorgeous) I am always curious about people's heritage. Even when someone looks "white" i'm still curious what they are: German/English/Irish/ etc? I don't want to offend anyone with my question. I just don't understand why it's bad to ask that question 😯

I’m half Asian and half white and I was always told by my dads girlfriends that I looked “exotic.” Like what does that even mean?

People always say that I’m African American cause of my curly hair. A lot of people do not believe me when I say I’m not black and that I have to at least have some black in me? It’s like they never seen a Mexican who mixed with Native American and Italian with curly hair. Cause I’m multiracial I have a lot of genetics in me and I have different traits of all of them in my dna. Not everyone is someone who they look like. Please don’t assume my race and judge me by what I look like.

I’m german and black and I have never been asked this question “what are you?” I’ve been asked “what is your ethnic background?”

As a mixed person who is frequently called mistakenly a “Mexican” or “Hispanic” I’m Nigerian and Swedish and this video was very

I love this conversation. My sister and I made a video about our mixed/black identities as well

growing up as a biracial kid isn' the best of both worlds at all. (i'm half chinese half european). I've been told that i'm 'lying that I'm half chinese,' or 'no offence but you just look white' or 'you don't look chinese at all' or 'you only have european features, you don't have any chinese features' it sucks being biracial sometimes because being judged for your race/s or how you look hurts. when I was little, someone asked my mum if she adopted me, because it seemed crazy to them that a chinese lady could have a white looking baby.

Being half Indian and half white A lot of people would say that I look “Mexican”. I remember one time when I was little of my siblings we were going to the grocery store with my mother who is an white woman and a lady came up to him and asked if you were all adopted

I grew up biracial, half bolivian, half italian and I went to a school where most kids were half English half French decent, so mostly blonde. If I go to the city people think I'm white, but in my high school people said I had Asian eyes and told me I look Chinese. I was friends with all the other kids who didn't racially fit into the homogeneous white that existed. People who grew up in the city think I had it easy but they don't know that you're defined by your environment, if I went to the same school my cousin's went to I'd be the whitest kid in there but in my school I was not invited to any parties, I didn't have anything in common with kids who hunted or fished, I didn't play football and baseball like most the other kids, so culturally I had nothing in common with them. You can't judge everyone by the color of their skin, were a product of our parents, so until you meet someone's family you don't know where they're coming from. Our skin color can be the most deceiving thing and if anyone disagrees, just look at Blake Griffin and tell me if he's ginger, white, black? Can you label him. Growing up biracial I think Blake is a really good basketball player and that's all I really think about him, I acknowledge he's probably been stereotyped for both his ginger hair color and black appearance but nobody truly knows what it's like to grow up mixed like him unless you're his brother or somehow have parents of similar culture to his. Nobody knows your story until they talk to you and learn about you, stop putting people in boxes please.

I have also been asked this "What are you?" And I say, "Im mixed." sometimes i joke and say "Im a question mark." I never fully knew what to say, but just picking one race felt wrong. So honestly, I'm me, im mixed, and i dont have to pick a side.

my mother is from Honduras with Indigenous ancestry and my father is from the US with European genes. i was raised around multiple races of people but was only ever asked “what are you” and “where are you from” by white people. i always felt ashamed that i’m only fluent in English (although now i recognize that this is a privilege) when there are more languages i could be speaking with others in. now i am at peace since the only reason that my mom didn’t recognize the value in speaking to me in spanish because she wanted her and her children to belong and (unfortunately) feel safe in our small, conservative, aggressively religious town. it has taken me years to heal wounds of inadequacy and loneliness but i now i know i am beautiful belonging to multiple races and “an outsider.” all of my ancestry makes me differently whole and i will always belong to me. i see all of the humans in this video as beautiful (i’m biased but even more beautiful than monoracial) with multicolored threads running through them. we are a mosaic, a tapestry. a collection lives and is being built inside of us. as so many of us have maybe similarly felt that we’ve had no ties or roots to any one culture or heritage, we were created to create and foster our own. we are humanS Being. simple as that

As a biracial person I get allot of comments regarding my skin color like 'oh, but you're white?' .and I'm like 'dude, it doesn't matter what my skin color is.' For those reading this I am 1/3rd Polynesian and 2/3rds Caucasian. And I'm proud of my heritage.

I love this. I’m afakasi - half Samoan and half white. These are awkward conversations I have. “You don’t look very Samoan.” “You don’t really look white.” I’m both! And I look fine. Like... I’m fine.

Good message

I'm half Mexican and have light skin so I think the worst thing is when I tell people and they don't believe me or think I'm lying.

If I had a dollar for every time I got asked if I am adopted I'd be rich 🤣

Love this!

i’m half filipino and half caucasian. everyone asks what i am cause they don’t know. it gets annoying sometimes cause they can’t tell what i am lol

Ok but what would u call someone who has parents that are from way more backgrounds. Like, let’s say a person had a Mom who was half Japanese, half French, while the Dad was half Moroccan, half Nigerian. Wtf would u call that person??

I‘m Swiss-Irish-Korean-Japanese Back then I was 😩, Now I‘m 😇 Always love yourself 🙏 All the best to all biracials

Stop puting people into a Box!

Triracial here, it's so hard to identify myself and I don't see any people that look like me. I see people who look like me maybe once or twice a year. It's very alienating

I believed i was white up until I actually looked into a mirror and went ‘oh I look like coffee cream’ so now I identify as a human

Half white/half Salvadoran and although my facial structure is Latino, my skin is pale, my hair is dark blonde and my eyes are green. My whole life I would always tell people I was white cause it was so much easier than explaining. I always felt very disconnected from my culture because of this. Even to this day I feel like an outsider when I’m around my Salvadoran family.

3:09 omg she is ssoooo pretty

I'm also biracial. I'm korean japanese salvadorian and Honduran. Most people would be like what are you? I would always ask myselfe.......who am I? Most people thought I was Chinese and latina when I would tell the I was latina and asian but I'm korean and japanese. Be yourself. Love Yourself. Also, when I would tell them what I was they would be like, WHAT your not latina and asian your to asian to be latina or your not white enough to ba an asian.

It is so astonishing to realise that we humans still put heads in so much trivial matters

I from an Island where everyone are mixed. We speack french and kreol. We don't use the word "race" to label someone because we know that there is only one race, the human race and this race got different tones, it's a pity to see that those tones are used by few people for wars and dominations. Mixed people are the FUTUR, we are the FUTUR. Thanks for this video ! Love from Reunion Island

Theres got to be a part two.

imagine a whole population like that: that's Brazil

My dad refused to go to my moms Catholic Church with us. He looked on me as a half breed Catholic.

And here I am still confused wether I'm mix-raced or not 😂😂😂

Why are you offended by what are you? It’s a normal question. What a bunch of snowflakes !

Worst part of being Biracial is not knowing what prison gang to join. I kid, I love being biracial

I identify as white mixed race, I don't know my history

esse vídeo definiu minha vida

growing up biracial is so difficult, i feel either "too desi" or "too white"

They are all beautiful and amazing in each and their own individual ways :)

Being half Filipino and half Irish means sometimes you put up with ignorant comments. One time my family was at the airport and there was this lady asking my dad whether he was with us because he is white and we were ordering food. He looked different in her eyes, even though he was clearly standing next to us? My friends sometimes liked playing guessing games to what my ethnicity was and there is always that comment, 'don't worry you look more asian,' or 'you look more white.' Throughout my life there are comments such as, 'you're pale' or 'look you're so white,' like it's a compliment. I didn't give these comments much thought, but looking back they were offensive. It is racism to think that being white or asian or another ethnicity is better than the other, basically erasing my identity. It made me anxious that people will just assume my ethnicity rather than just see me for myself and not treat me differently. Can anyone relate?

Personally as a multiracial person the greater conflict is social and cultural identity. I am not fluent enough in any language but English to pass and I never feel like I belong in any community.

lol I got Asked if adopted all the time 😂

Why am I crying? Like I’m really crying...

2:05 so freaking nice

I’m having a baby and my boyfriend is 1/2 white 1/2 black and I’m white and I worry about my child dealing with these difficult issues of not being enough of anything. I see my boyfriend go through it and I can see how difficult it is.

Who has both race listed on their birth certificate??? cause my parents were told they had to choose one?

It was hard when I was young cz I was the only one in school, but as an adult there is more awareness and the world is smaller, people are more informed, any form of ignorance is just absurd today. that said I am great at math and sports, great credit score and a huge... basically superhuman. Guys mix. life is more interesting

This makes me cry oh god

Just recently I had someone recognize I was mixed race before I mentioned it... I identify as me...

I get this all the time when I was dark hair people thought I was Italian

i identify as a bad science experiment and people need to stop this frankescience, my parents were wrong for that b.s.

Yes I’m biracial I love thiss

1:04-1-15 how did wybie from coraline get on here

I'm thought it supposed to be mixed not biricial is when you white in black

You can wasly tell who is mixed with asian. I can see orhers being asked that question "what are you"?

When they ask you what are you, where are you from? Look them straight in the eye and tell them I am human from a place called earth! Have you heard of it?? !

Do people really ask you where your from??wtf America's a different planet

normal day in brazil ( i am brazilian)

in many countries is much more common whte dad and black mom see in portugal,france,spain,all african countries ,all latin contries,all carribean countries white dad and black mom is much more common

I find it extremely rude when people ask what are you? Like what do you think I am ? A freak from outerspace? An alien from jupiter? NO! a human

I was mixed race indonesian-arabs-chinese n i'm malay race whic means mostly malay race r multirace like the others

LOGIC IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I’m Biracial And I Can Improve. I’m Black And Hispanic

Im half white half polynesian. I always check white on everything since I wasnt raised in the Polynesian culture however I identify as American ☺

I’m half German half Colombian, but since I grew up in Germany I thought as a kid I was German. Meanwhile other kids told me I’m an immigrant, because of that I wished that I had blue eyes and blonde hair. I also must say Colombians are mixed people there can look so different, meanwhile my fathers parents had ancestors from different cultures of Europe. I think there are much more mixed people than we see, since you don’t have to be dark skinned to be mixed….

love this but also I have an identity crisis every three business days lmao

Am from Africa and I have blue eyes and white skin and every one that I meet be like your from Africa but why are you white

From Singapore

I agree as Brazilian Luso-Italo-Indo-greco-palestinian

I FEEL everyone of your pain. You don't even feel human. You travel the world alone because a BOX is what Others want you to call home🙄😔.

Really does make you feel you aren’t enough growing up bi racial

I can pass for Italian. My brother looks German . My mother was white . Dad Spanish. always felt alone. In the south in late 70's , my mom said tell them you are white nothing else. Time to be unique and proud!

" bi-racial" is not a dirty word, ok.

Im a human being i was born in the planet earth

All of them look like people from my country

I'm biracial (italian and spainard) and I'm pale as heck. And thats okay. 😊

I am mixed to

Yes I’m biracial, I’m white and black

What is biracial?

I’m biracial myself and I’ll go to my grave before ever telling anyone where I’m from

I love the i identify as human, because folks that is what we are.

All of the American continent is a mix of races, why hang up so much on the biracial concept we all have more than one in our gens

Thankfully I’m black

Dices biracial y punto!! Joder, qué manía con dramatizarlo todo macho

This had made me realize I can’t just assume I know what somebody is just from first glance

They are all so beautiful.

Good afternoon, Love who you are regardless of what anyone says or think of you. You are all beautiful people what you look like really does not matter.

Biracial people are beautiful and unique. I always get attracted to biracial looking people. Especially asian+white omg so charming.

I pray that people that are racist can see that it's so ridiculous to hate someone because of the way a person looks. Were all the Human Race at the End of the day 💪🏼🙏🏼

i am biracial, i have native heritage too and i'm latino, i'm black and white, media constantly shoves the pure paleness of white people and the pure darkness of black people and i feel so outcasted, i want to embrace my blackness but i'm scared i'm not black enough, i don't feel i can embrace whiteness either

The green eyed hippie is fake btw.
