  1. 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.

  2. He demonstrated important points.Although Italians ignore Italian Americans,Americans of Italian descent maintain customs and dialects that are being lost in Italy.

  3. What a cool story! Sometimes people far from each other can discover things in common.

  4. I'm black and I have 2 nephews who easily pass for white.In Brazil,where I live,this is very common.

  5. How exciting it is to hold a part of our family's history in our hands. The work you do is very important.

  6. 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.

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

  8. 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.

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

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

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

  12. It is not impossible that these stories were real, since many white masters had children with their slaves.

  13. It's amazing how your family breathes history

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. It's a help from technology. It's a way of "bringing them back to life" and keeping in touch with them.

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

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

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

  20. 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.

  21. You perform a public utility service.

  22. We must remember that when they want to "swear" people from southern Italy, people from northern Italy call them "Africans"

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

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

  25. India is one of the most colorist countries in the world.

  26. 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.

  27. An immoral law. No one can be forced to leave the only land they lived in just because of their race.

  28. Don't mind the haters; move on

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

  30. How sad it is to know that skin color prevented children from playing together in a pool

  31. You said something very correct: pedigree is for dogs, not for humans

  32. We must always learn from past mistakes so that they are not repeated in the future.

  33. During the Second World War,descendants of Italians,Germans and Japanese were also persecuted in Brazil.They were even forbidden to speak their respective languages.

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. It's good that this tension has eased over time.

  37. 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

  38. From the moment Homo Sapiens left Africa, every human being outside Africa is an immigrant.

  39. 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.
