  4. The most intriguing thing about this story is the fact that there are Mexicans of various ethnicities (white, black, indigenous, Asian).The people who made this classification wanted to put different groups together and put them in the same box.
    39
  5. It is very useful to know what people of different ethnicities and nationalities thought decades ago. The conversation took place completely without filter.

  9. To this day,it is common for immigrants to change their name when they arrive in America.A Brazilian named João moved to Utah and now introduces himself as John.
    22
  10. It's amazing how much you learn about immigration in the US in half an hour of conversation with your father.Listening to him talk makes the time pass quickly.

  11. This research into our ancestors is always a fascinating adventure.

    15

  18. When they came to "do America" ​​in pursuit of the American dream,they weren't warned that the "dream" would cost them such a high price.

  21. We must remember that Lincoln was a child of his times.Most white men of the 19th century thought like him.We must not deify or demonize historical figures.

  22. Your conversations with your family are always rich in details and good stories

  24. Finns,Estonians and Hungarians descend from the Finno-Ugaritic tribes.They are white,but with some kinship with peoples of Asia

  27. All our ancestors made mistakes.What we must do is not make the same mistakes they made.

  28. This video was quite explanatory. Many people think they belong to a single ethnic group and don't know the history of their ancestors.
    6
  29. I already knew that many Chinese had immigrated to San Francisco in the 19th century.Knowing that an 8-year-old girl's education was almost hindered by prejudice is revolting.

  30. Those who don't know their own past don't know themselves
    5
  31. It's always exciting when we see our family's story pass before our eyes.

  32. The German people are strong-willed and have prospered wherever they have come. This must have scared off the people who wanted to keep the US a WASP nation. P.S:How nice that you left your hair natural.

  33. How do you "go back to your country" when you're already there?
    5
  34. Thankfully,society has evolved and today the acts carried out by the KKK would be considered heinous crimes.
    4
  35. Perhaps this is due to atavism.This occurs when certain characteristics of a certain people remain "dormant" for a long time and then reappear in their descendants.

  36. Congratulations on reaching the 100 video milestone!I'm curious to know which characters will be in the next video.
    4
  37. This story is very important to you because you are of both black and Italian descent.

  38. Imagining that one did not take advantage of the benefits of sunlight(such as,for example,vitamin D)just because they thought that the skin would be "too dark" imagines how those people did not think outside the box.
    4
  39. A person can be a villain and a victim at the same time.This man certainly suffered prejudice from white people,but he was a slave owner.

  40. We have to be worthy of the effort of our ancestors
    4
  41. Thank you for this video series!The fear we feel in the face of the unknown causes us to misclassify it.

  42. Congratulations to you for exposing these idiots.When people have no arguments,they attack the interlocutor and do not attack the idea under debate

  43. This goes to prove that racism is stupid.When the chess game is over,the king and the pawn go into the same box.
    3
  44. We must learn from past mistakes and move forward.
    3
  45. We must keep in mind that some indigenous groups already had the concept of democracy.And that this was not a "blessing" that was presented to them by the Eurodescendants.
    3
  46. Certain people have to understand that people are not originally from just 2 places on this planet(Africa and Europe).And that, even on these two continents,people are very different from each other.
    3
  47. Many people prefer to "forget" the fact that abortion(with the euphemistic name of "planned parenthood")and racism have always gone hand in hand. It is not about oppressing women,but about exposing racist people

  48. Don't worry! Mistakes always happen. And the only person who doesn't make mistakes is the one who spends his life criticizing other people's work.
    3
  49. I really liked something you said:you are not trying to diminish America.Mistakes have occurred in any nation. We must learn from the mistakes of our ancestors and move forward.

  50. I think that both those who celebrate the date and those who don't have their reasons.I am a black Latin American and I would celebrate the date if I lived in the USA.No country is perfect. Celebrating the 4th of July does not mean that you agree with the slavery just as celebrating a German national date doesn't mean you agree with Nazism

  51. Kudos to Jeremy for doing this research on people who have had to hide their identities.It's very cruel to tell a child they can go out in the sun so their skin doesn't turn dark.

  56. I've heard that a former member of the British Royal Family was of black descent,but I didn't know who it was.This is great to show that we know less about our ancestors than we should know.

  57. Doing DNA is important for us to discover who our ancestors were and how our history was built.

  58. People from the North of Italy call people from the South "Africans". In other words, not even in Italy you will be free from being pejoratively compared to an African.

  59. YouTube is confusing value with fact.When you demonstrate a fact it doesn't mean you agree with it.

  60. I think that certain countries are not prepared to deal with people of mixed race. P.s:Danielle,your natural hair is beautiful.

  61. Your family is a synthesis of America's history.

  62. It is not impossible that these stories were real, since many white masters had children with their slaves.
    2
  63. It's amazing how your family breathes history
    2
  64. I don't think it's wrong for a person to adopt the habits of other peoples.I think this cultural appropriation thing is boringBut I don't think it's right for someone to impersonate someone they're not.

  65. Cleopatra was an Egyptian of Greek descent.Her ancestors came from Macedonia.The pharaohs,yes,were black.We must fight racism with facts,not lies.
    2
  66. It's a help from technology. It's a way of "bringing them back to life" and keeping in touch with them.

  67. Why shouldn't a well-sung and well-played country song be played on a radio station dedicated to playing country music?

  68. When the lack of arguments meets the desire to express oneself, the result is always deplorable.

  69. Just like in the USA in Brazil, Italians were associated with anarchism

  70. We would all like to change something about our body. But certain changes are not healthy. Hair straightening can cause a lot of damage to the scalp. And your natural hair is beautiful.
    1
  71. You perform a public utility service.
    1
  72. We must remember that when they want to "swear" people from southern Italy, people from northern Italy call them "Africans"

  73. I like the way you and your husband came to an agreement on naming your children.

  74. DNA tests can show us that we are descended from what we hate.

  75. India is one of the most colorist countries in the world.
    1
  76. Your detractors are demented.What Rachel did was assume an identity that was not hers.Unlike you,who always made it clear who your ancestors were.
    1
  77. An immoral law. No one can be forced to leave the only land they lived in just because of their race.
    1
  78. Don't mind the haters; move on

  79. It's always good to remember that Elvis' natural hair was blonde.

  84. Sometimes your last name isn't a great source of information about your family's origins.Many families from Europe changed their last names when they came to America.
    1
  85. Passing for white was the most common thing in the world.The part of our DNA that influences the color of our eyes,hair and skin is tiny.Often our appearance does not demonstrate our ancestry.
    1
  86. It's good that this tension has eased over time.
    1
  87. We must always take into account the results of a proposal,and not our feelings about the proposal.But it's just sad to separate people solely by their ethnicity
    1
  88. From the moment Homo Sapiens left Africa, every human being outside Africa is an immigrant.
    1
  89. The barriers that separated people of different ethnicities are gradually disappearing.Many people did not marry people of another race because it was forbidden and frowned upon.
