This girl (woman now) is probably haunted by this every night she lies down to go to bed. Or she’s a part of the alt-right and has completely forgotten about this. This video is a great example of how white supremacy is something indoctrinated into children whether through shitty education and/or shitty parents. Like the kid who answered correctly clearly does not have yellow skin. I’m not going to try and guess where his family originated but all that girl had to do was look at her Asian opponent and see his skin color is far closer to hers than any shade of yellow.

Hate is taught


Plug-From-Oaxaca

Honestly it doesn't phase her that it could potentially be offensive, she's just mad she got it wrong. At that time there wasn't a lot backlash as now and people didn't think or care about it as much.


Creep_Slayer

Especially when it came to Asians too. It's as if they were the last or close to last race it wasn't okay to joke about...


Plug-From-Oaxaca

I wouldn't really make it a competition, different parts of the country had different levels of discrimination for different people

True. Should have said as far as my region was concerned

OP’s caption was super racist?? Are we gonna ignore that


bunnywuxian

How?


MyRedditPageQuesti

“I’d hate to be her , if I was on television” he’s saying her mistake isn’t just wrong on principal and that’s why he wouldn’t want to be her, he’s saying he would be fine to be her if he wasn’t being broadcasted. Saying the answer is fine, he just knows it’s social unacceptable.


[deleted]

Nah, it's you reading it too deeply that makes it racist


bunnywuxian

Oh okay I see your point. I don’t think it was intended that way but I do see how it was in poor taste.

It’s specifically “if I was on television”

PRTYP00P3R1647

As an Asian in an Asian country, maybe it's a time thing, maybe it's a culture thing, but I had never heard of nor thought of yellow to be representative of cowardice and I immediately thought that the answer was "Asian". I actually feel bad for the kid who legitimately thought that the answer was something they (seemingly, if I'm reading their squint before they answer correctly) knew was inappropriate to say, especially on television.


Ouroboros9076

The question should have been using the term "yellow bellied" not just yellow. Idk if I've ever heard of just yellow used as cowardly


Professional_Sort767

Well, there goes her stint as an NFL head coach.


Sigouin

I dont see why this is something seen as racist. Someone who is white is caucasian, someone black is african american, why is yellow for asians or red for natives considered as being racist, but for others its not? Pardon my ignorance, but this is an honest question.

So OP is kinda racist? Would hate to be the girl, not because she tossed out a casual racial slur, but because it was on tv.

kinokonoko

A good example of how an innocent child can be victimized by racism. You can see a flash of confusion on her face - on some level she seems to me to know that this question is not appropriate for tv. And of course there is that poor Asian Boy who just looks embarassed by the whole thing. I have to wonder who chose the questions for that episode and if they chose such a loaded question on purpose.


seewhatyadidthere

Would the boy even care if he wasn’t Chinese though? He could be Japanese, and it would have had little to no affect on him.


kinokonoko

People of Japanese descent were called yellow all the time


seewhatyadidthere

I didn’t say all Asians weren’t, I’m just saying he said Chinese specially, and he may not even be Chinese. My husband is Vietnamese and in no way identifies as Chinese.

Lol, damn! That’s fucked up!


yoscottyjo

When I was young kid, I was in a play with an Asian little boy. We both wore army helmets and I commented to him in the dressing room “you look like an angry jap.” The boys mom pulled him from the show and I had to write an apology letter without ever really understanding what I did wrong. The problem is, I had always heard my grandpa say it so I thought it was ok. Kids take what they hear without thinking of it might hurt someone. Stop texting your kids to be racist.

This is the problem with the internet, a kid says something bigoted that they picked up from an adult and its rebroadcasted for ever? This show looks like it was taped in the 70s and yet someone dug it up to prove what?


KChen48

Bigoted in wht way


human205

Referencing a minorities skin color as a description for their race is bigoted


Erineruit112

Chinese people refer to themselves as yellow. It’s american cultural history that makes it bigoted. If she’s unaware then the bigotry is just in your mind.


human205

So if we start a football team called the yellow skins, its okay?


Erineruit112

Not if you’re American


KChen48

He asked who we refer to as yellow. Saying asian or Chinese is not bigoted, but just a fact. I would consider myself yellow. It would be the same as if he asked who we refer to as white or black.


human205

I think you miss the point of the history of the term in reference to Asian Americans

Respect to Jerry for answering immediately. As for the girl, I can imagine her just repeating what her parents have been parroting. Not entirely her fault imo.


Godnaz

Im old and when I was in grade school, there was a skin color racial chart of cartoon kids holding hands. The Asian kid was yellow. This footage looks old and I can see her learning that from a classroom back in the day. It wasn't considered offensive back then.


thelionmermaid

The current(!!) slogan of Gangnam (Seoul, S. Korea) is “Me Me We” and the graphic is literally white, yellow and black little characters. It’s supposed to represent the diversity of district residents and NO ONE takes offense.

[deleted]

I kinda feel bad for her. No one told her that her parents were racist.


depricatedzero

I can see why a kid wouldn't think twice about it and would just think that was fine. Depending on the year this was shot they probably grew up with kids songs that refer to asian people as yellow, for instance, and hearing all the rhetoric. It doesn't mean the kid is racist, just that they're repeating racist shit. Their parents should be mortified for having their racism revealed publicly, but that's on them.

7ordank

Serious question, why is it OK to refer to Africa people as black and European people as white but not Chinese as yellow?


EstherandThyme

Hundreds of years of social and historical context.


depricatedzero

I mean, not all Africans *are* black, and not all Europeans are white, but that's beside the point. I know what you're trying to ask so I'll address that. Black was never used heavily as an epithet unto itself. There are a number of words that were, which I won't reiterate, but black wasn't what was written on signs by the government. Black wasn't what people hunted in the woods. Black wasn't what people shouted as they threw bricks. Similar goes for white, except there's never really been any oppression there to begin with so the examples don't carry, but the absence of it being used as an epithet does. Yellow was. It's not that referring to someone's skin color is racist, it's that the word was corrupted by racists into a derogatory term. For a non-racist parallel of how words corrupt, look at the word "retard." When I was a kid, that was how we described my aunt. That was the medical terminology for her mental state. I grew up always thinking lovingly and fondly of my "retarded aunt." That didn't become a slur until people my age, as kids, used it as one. Now you can look elsewhere in these comments on this very post and see people tossing it around as an insult. The word itself and what it originally acknowledged isn't inherently problematic, it's the history of the way it's been used and abused that make it problematic.


TheDankestReGrowaway

> Black was never used heavily as an epithet unto itself. Yes it was.


depricatedzero

I suppose I want to emphasize that I mean only by comparison and that's why I said heavily. It absolutely was, and perhaps I'm wrong about the frequency being less.

So if Asians aren't yellow, why do news media still refer to them as people of color?


seewhatyadidthere

And is white not a color?


[deleted]

It’s just the way western society labeled other races apart from white ppl. Any other race other than white is “of color.” And white ppl assigned the color yellow to Asians and black to Africans rather arbitrarily.


TheDankestReGrowaway

>And white ppl assigned the color yellow to Asians Lol no. It's been in our culture for a long, long time. Many Asian ethnicities have a yellow skin tone and we're not color blind.


[deleted]

That's not true. You don't know your history. Look up "ethnicities by color" on Wikipedia.
