At the same time though, I don't blame people for not commenting on the fact that he was made up and not actually black. What do you want them to say, "hey! you're not black!" THAT would be more racist imo.

Anyway, like someone said, no one was malicious or intentionally racist. If anything, this proves that American college students are ignorant of their own history. And stereotypes exist for every race, color and creed.

It could of been worst, but hot ass mess.

How many people know what Ramadan is or anything about Arabian people besides fallafel, alladin, and terrorists?

^^^^^

Isn't this the same girl who said blacks should be happy because we have Beyonce and Rihanna and arabs have no one?

1. I didn't know that this was a game of "Who Has It The Worst".
2. Arabs and African-Americans do not have the same history when it comes to racism in the U.S. Perhaps if you knew a thing about Black history yourself, you wouldn't make such a dumb comparison.

So because they don't have the exact same history with racism in USA the racism cant be compared? Last time I checked racism is racism sis. Regardless of the history.

aM here for grape juice, but the fact that he said it as if it's drunken only by black people is whats disturbing.

I'm not going to even front and act like I didn't drive out 15 minutes last night just to get fried chicken from a Chinese carryout. Am salivatingT.

But anyways, part of me is saddened about how ignorant some people really are, but then again how many Black people actually live in Utah?

I'm not going to watch the video because I know some of those people are going to say something stupid and ignorant. In my opinion, black history is American history and it should taught throughout the whole year.

But this isn't about racism in general, it's about Black History Month, so I still fail to see how bringing up racism against Arabs was warranted in this case.

What I find sad is the black dude saying that Black History Month begins in January.

And the fried chicken comment.

@ them not noticing something wrong with his skin. He looks like he rolled into some mud or something. wtf

I don't see the point at all in dressing up a white actor. I guess it showed the "racism" of the interviewees who "didn't recognize" that they were talking to a white person? Okay.
And there were quite a few stereotypes in this video, but as far as historical knowledge goes, why don't we interview a bunch of black students as well and then cherrypick the ones that don't know anything about Black History Month either? I assure you that you would be able to find quite a few of those.

He interviewed two black guys, and one didn't know when Black History Month starts. That's enough for me.

He put up a hood and glasses to obscure his face. He skin was dark brown. Why would anyone suspect they might not be black. Dressing up as a black guy was a pointless part of it.

I don't see racism in this video. I see stupid stereotypes on both sides, I see a lack of historical knowledge but not racism, and to call it racism is a little insulting.

Oh well. Maybe the US really is just obsessed with race *Kayne-shrug*

Plenty of people, just not many mainstream Americans. I'm not even Arab (or other Middle Eastern ethnicity or a Muslim), but this annoys me:

a) Ramadan is celebrated my Muslims, not Arabs. Not all Arabs are Muslim and the vast majority of Muslims are not Arab (or other Middle Eastern ethnicity); most Muslims are in the other Asian countries like Pakistan, China, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, etc.

b) Aladdin the story is of Arab origin, but the character was actually Chinese. Yes, there were plenty of Chinese Muslims back then and still around 20 million. There are European Muslims too in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina where they're the majority religion.

c) When people talk about terrorist breeding grounds, they think of Afghanistan and Pakistan and call them "Arab" but neither countries are Arab countries. They're not even in the Middle East!

this just seems like typical kids joking around. they were just more upfront about it. honestly every race deals with racism. It's not just one race. though grape juice is not a black sterotype so I dunno what that was. I think racism will end when we stop making it a big deal. jmo. I think sometimes making a big deal out of it is what keeps it present.

[manwhore]

this college kids are mess.. so if you act white your a "tool" but if your black and act white your "classy' I wanted to slap the fu*(*( out of that stupid cun**tt

[Great Username]

I still don't understand what point he was trying to make by painting his skin to look black. Like, wtf? And why would anybody randomly say to him that he's not black?

[Sláy]

Thing is there are racist black people too, obviously, but they aren't stupidly ignorant racist in the same way these kids are. They're being stereotypical and racist without realising it. LMFAO at them...'grape juice' WTF who the **** drinks grape juice to celebrate black history month. Let's put it this way: that education system is ****ing failing if they don't even know the month, at least 2 famous slaves (there are 2 blindingly obvious names) and recent examples (more than Malcolm and MLK ie. Jesse jackson and Berry gordy). SMDH.
