I don't know what I was expecting after she said, but they're also something else.

[u/Worried_Poet_7355]

people must not believe the fair skin sister when she tells people she is black. this is amazing and they are amazing! love this!

[u/Aziara86 → u/Worried_Poet_7355]

1/4 is mixed, not black. But yeah she doesn't look mixed either.

[u/Princess_Spammi → u/Aziara86]

According to most people, mixed = part of the ethnicity

[u/throwaway24822234444 → u/[deleted]]

The 1% rule is not real, it’s just an incredibly racist ideology created out of pure nonsense. Mixed is mixed. Both women in the video are mixed, both women have claim to both of their ethnicities. It’s simple, really.

[u/Proper-Equivalent300 → u/throwaway24822234444]

Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act of 1924 classified a person as Black if they had any African ancestry at all.

It was one of the handful of codified laws. Many times it was only a social code. Racism has many ways to do its thing.

That is in fact what I was saying.

The way I laughed.

Here, please accept poor man's gold:

[u/Xiao1insty1e → u/[deleted]]

I did not, and not why I was using it.

I was pushing back on the idea that they weren't black. If they want to claim it they can.

[u/Xiao1insty1e → u/[deleted]]

Yeah if you had bothered to look at my post history even one time you would know that I was not.

Good day.

[u/Independent-Shoe543 → u/Worried_Poet_7355]

Yes because she's not 😅

[u/Alarming-Prize-405 → u/Independent-Shoe543]

According to you (and you are wrong). Turns out black, white, and brown are social constructs and there is no biological basis for different races. We are all the same. What you consider different is up for social and cultural debate.

[u/Independent-Shoe543 → u/Alarming-Prize-405]

Yes of course I completely agree with that they are complete social constructs and indeed it is a spectrum with no defining divisions between 'races' in genetic/biological terms and indeed there is no use for such, I just meant based on the social construct which is generally visual characteristics, hair eye colour, phenotype, melanin quantity, she would not be considered black? Of course people choose what they identify as but I think it is a bit pedantic to say she is not white in all general purposes of the term.

[u/Alarming-Prize-405 → u/Independent-Shoe543]

Race is not only defined visually, it’s also defined socially and culturally. Even “white passing” people are persecuted (Jews, Romani, Arabs, etc.)

[u/a_dreamer → u/Alarming-Prize-405]

I agree with what you're saying 100%. I also want to add into this discussion thread that for law enforcement purposes, race is defined as what is seen. You aren't asked your race when you're booked after being arrested because it's more important to know what you look like. If they're looking for the lighter of the twins, for good or bad reasons, you want to say she's a "white" female because otherwise, she wouldn't be identified. Say if she were ever kidnapped and human trafficked. It's all nuisanced, which is what I think that you are saying too

[u/SidTheSloth97 → u/Alarming-Prize-405]

If there's no biological basis and we are all the same, than doesn't that make her white simply because her skin is white and she looks white. If there's no basis and we are all the same are we not then simply just what we look like/the colour you see??

[u/Alarming-Prize-405 → u/SidTheSloth97]

Again, according to you. And within a broader social context also no because many people would not consider her white and would still discriminate.

What does your opinion about someone else mean? Nothing compared to their own identification, and again not even in a larger social context.

For example, If Jews have white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, why are they not considered white?

[u/Alarming-Prize-405 → u/[deleted]]

Dude no we are not just simply defined by what/ the color you see I feel like this should be obvious. I’m so beyond confused by this question. Please further explain what you mean and how it hasn’t been answered in my other comments.

[u/VetiverylAcetate → u/[deleted]]

Judaism is an ethnoreligion that does not receive the same social protections that being “white” does.

[u/Alarming-Prize-405 → u/VetiverylAcetate]

Even the US has even historically classified Jews as non-white.

[u/SidTheSloth97 → u/VetiverylAcetate]

I mean if your basing your entire argument on white people being privileged I don't see the point in debating it any further. You're just minimising issues and saying because someone is white they don't feel the same hardship. Which is bs.

My view is that all humans are equal and we are all capable of equal experiences. If you don't believe that I'm not arguing.

[u/VetiverylAcetate → u/SidTheSloth97]

I wasn’t making an argument by linking to a Wikipedia article

[u/Woodbear05 → u/Independent-Shoe543]

Depends what actually determines if you are black
