You mentioned that you do not want to be more politically correct by giving a full account of your ancestry, but the term "African American" is a strange one for everybody who is not from the United States of America. It presupposes that one should understand that an "African American" is a black person, even though not all Africans are black. It presupposes furthermore that one should understand that an "African American" is a black person from the United States of America, even though America is a continent with 35 different countries. If you think of it, the term is both an example of self-absortion and nonsensical political correctness. A white or black Latin-American would pass unnoticed in the US and be labeled as "white" or "African American". A Mestizo on the other hand would immediately be labeled as "Latino", so you pay to much attention to the colour of the skin.

African American is the descendants of black people who have been in America 200 years or more. Most Latinos don't even call themselves AA. In Colombia they say afro-americano. North Africans call themselves Arab on average or Berber or Nubian, Tuareg. My Morrocan friend does not call herself African. She is pale and speaks Arabic and calls herself Arab

We could start by calling somebody who was born in Italy "italian" and in US "american", there's no need of adding an "Afro" at the beginning. First thing to do to fight racism is drilling in your mind that there's no such thing as "races" among humans. Pigmentation is a non factor, and that's why two brothers with different hair/eyes colors don't think of being of different races.

Tia Taylor but this Tia then belongs to te costumes and not the colors!(imho) for example pick two x people half black from the same African region (so simplify) and the other half one is American the other is Italian. I think they will not address them self as the same because they are "black" this doesn't "matter"(pick this in a good way) they will share half the African culture but the other half will address them as different and I think this is not belonging to their pigmentation is in their heritage. I guess people shall stop here the pigmentation color and start sharing the different heritages people carry. Living here you surely have sensed the same "racism" between Italians from different regions and we are all Italians but not in the whole heritage. Maybe people shall consider this and feel more this instead of the pigmentation (unless of course I'm ignoring some different values people put in it I mean I'm white but I do not address anything to my color I'm not better nor worse just this way... still if you walls laugh I'm more "Spanish looking" than my sister that looks like a German girl both white same parents) but a part of the colors (brought form exactly the two populations I mentioned because of ancestors) we share same heritage so we do not feel this problem. Will be nice if all the people will start realizing that there's more involved. Please let me know if the "color" holds any value that we do not understand. 🙂 P.S.

Some even considered me mixed. Upon correcting them, I had to let them know that I am a typical Black person in America. Needless to say, they were not used to seeing Black people from US, mainly Africans from the continent.

Tia, black people/americans are NOT a monolith, and maybe you're not insinuating this when you're talking about a division within black american community but you do realize every racial group in america has this "problem"? I've meant plenty of mexican-americans and salvadorian-americans that had beef, but identify as latin american, same with asian americans (i.e e.a v. s.e.a) This is why italian-americans get so pressed when they're labeled as white, because they don't identify with certain aspects of "white-american" culture and history. Just because you're black american doesn't mean you share history with the descendants of slaves, point blank period. You're dismissing an entire ethnic group and talking about something you don't seem to understand. This isn't a matter of aa's whining or trying to force others to be politically correct. If a kenyan-american identified their ethnicity as nigerian-american would that be okay with you? You can empathize and relate to the culture, but that doesn't make you ethnically so. There's a difference between race and ethnicity hun.

The use of Afro American was just to draw a parallel to Afro italian (the term used in Italy at the moment to describe people of African descent in Italy and up until fairly recently, the term used to address black people in the states) nothing deeper than that. As usual people are getting too hung up on the semantics. Guess I should have named this video "people of African descent in the USA vs people of African descent in Italy"

At least in America, I feel like we almost try to identify ourselves to a fault...then again, I feel like it's almost necessary. On paper, I'm "white." That's it, point blank. But I'm Italian-American, and it's a huge part of my identity. My family has only been here for 50-60 years. Does that make me different than the average white person who's been in America for hundreds of years? I believe it does. So when I am lumped into the general population as "white," it confuses me, because I can be so unlike the whites who are supposedly the "same" as me. I think this is what causes some of our racial tensions...we tend to put each other in these huge boxes that not everyone fits in. So, I'd like people to stop saying, "you're xyz because you're black" or "you're just saying that because you're white." There's so much more to us than the outward color of our skin. We have cultures, histories, moments of good, and moments of bad. It's cool that you recognize your Nigerian and Jamaican heritage, because I think we've been conditioned to see America as purely black and white. As someone who's lived in both America and Italy, I love learning about the different types of people that make up those two countries. I'm proud to represent both of them in different ways.

I felt so awkward because I loved heavy metal, rock, new wave, kabuki, Chinese Opera music so you can imagine how I was treated.....errr rather bullied. It was pretty bad. People looked at my skin color and my musical tastes and judged me based on that. It was like, you're Black and you shouldn't be listening to that. But when I got to college, I was thrilled to meet people who didn't judge like that. Didn't matter what race, religion, sexual orientation they were, we all got along because we looked past skin color, religion, sexual orientation and related to each other based on our eclectic preferences. Boy it was so much fun. When my friends and I go out, we attract quite a lot of attention and actually draw new friends in. People are amazed at the diversity of our friendships. It transcends race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and age. Lots of people think we're some sort of club so they'll ask what's our group called. When we tell them how we all met and became friends they're so amazed. The next thing you know they're asking to exchange phone numbers because they wanna hang out with us. I wish the entire world was like this!

Dom, you should feel happy that Italians are NOW considered "white" in the United States, back then Italians weren't considered white in this nation as a result they experienced discrimination, as a matter of fact as an Italian you should be aware of the 1891 lynching of 11 Italian-Americans in New Orleans....A video on KZitem is titled "History Professor: Southern Italians Used to Be Treated the Same as Central Americans". I don't think you would like to go back in time when Italians weren't considered white .

Thank you Tia and Thank you Barbara for your input. It was a very interesting video that touched on topics I was mostly unaware of. I didn't even know that there was an Afro-Italian community (as in, an organized community), and I suspect this is common to most Italians ; I suspect it is because we Italians mostly identify ourselves not by our looks or habits, but primarily by geographical origin, and even more specifically by birth town. Also, just like you said, the continued presence of large groups of immigrants from non-European conuntries is indeed a new thing we're still adjusting to. I have never been a victim of racism, so the only thing I can say is that I hope it isn't causing you too much distress and that I, and most of the people I know, believe that people like you and Barbara only make our country better and richer. Cheers !

I confuse Italians to no end! I'm South African, a descendent from Scotland and England (a few generations back). I look like a white Italian but I speak Italian with a strong South African English accent. Anyway I feel strongly connected to Africans living in Italy, we were born on the same continent so I always start conversations with anyone I see who is African. This video was so interesting! Keeping in mind that after what I've been through in South Africa regarding the apartheid during my upbringing.... the N word is not ok, no matter where you live.

The only African Americans to me are the people descended from the African people enslaved and brought to the United States during the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. If none of your ancestors were black and in the US before the Civil War, then you are not of African American descent. You can be BLACK AMERICAN (an American that's black), but not AFRICAN AMERICAN (which is a specific ethnic group). African American is an ethnic group. We have a history and culture of our own, even languages. You can't just become African American by being black and living in America just like you don't become Igbo just by being black and living in Nigeria. It's not being politically correct, it's just how things are. If you don't have that bloodline, you're are not of that heritage. I wouldn't call myself an ethnic group that I am not descended from. Anyways, ya'll looking gorgeous in the video. Skin glowing!

"Negro" è anche una parola dialettale che può essere di uso comune in alcune zone d'Italia. Un giorno una signora che conosco mi ha raccontato la storia di una "negretta" che frequentava la stessa classe di sua nipote. La bambina era molto brava a scuola e aveva raccontato a questa signora che voleva studiare tanto e trovare un ottimo lavoro per aiutare sua mamma che lavorava tutto il giorno fuori casa per mantenere la famiglia. La signora aveva gli occhi pieni di lacrime e mi disse che quella bambina era fantastica e da allora parla spesso di lei e letteralmente l'adora. Questa signora ha quasi 70 anni, parla un italiano mischiato al dialetto e per lei la parola "negretta" non ha alcun significato negativo, quindi non è facile chiederle di correggere il suo linguaggio, perché lei non capisce il "problema" visto che quella è la sua lingua da 70 anni... Ed è difficile darle torto visto che la sua lingua è praticamente più antica dell'italiano... Durante la seconda guerra mondiale c'erano soldati che lavoravano come traduttori tra calabresi e piemontesi...

I think that the biggest difference beetween afroamericans and afroitalians is that the latter are just italian in the end... USA is a country of immigrants so every different group brought and kept some of their tradition and culture. Italy, otherwise, has a really strong culture and people that come here tend to assimilate this culture and I think, because of that, new generation of people, born from foreign parents, are just italians like the others. This process was favored by the fact immigrants came in italy in little number. For example: afro-americans even speak with different accent from other americans while black italians speak exactly like other italians, with the same local accent. To support my idea I'd say i'm pretty sure that Tia, afroamerican, knows some of her jamaican tradition,while Barbara doesn't know much about her parents country or at least her italians traditions are so much predominant...

I think that would also invoke less racism. It doesn't matter the color of the skin if culturally you are exactly the same. Subcultures on the other hand are always clashing.

In quanto italiana e bianca non ho chiaramente mai vissuto sulla mia pelle il razzismo, ma vivendo in una piccola città e lavorando da molti anni in un piccolo paese di campagna, ne sono purtroppo venuta molto a contatto. Per quello che son riuscita a capire dai tuoi video e da quello che ricevo da televisione, internet e libri, la principale differenza nel razzismo qui in italia è che non si basa più di tanto sul colore, quanto piuttosto sulla provenienza. Non c'è l'accanimento sui neri in quanto "Neri", ma piuttosto in quanto "immigrati". Mi spiego meglio. Da un paio d'anni, qui vicino è stato attivato un centro, in un ex albergo, in cui vengono portati gli immigrati di origine principalmente africana e dove rimangono per un tot di tempo per imparare l'italiano, studiare e cercare un lavoro. I commenti che sento spesso nel mio negozio, e che per la maggior parte, con rarissime eccezioni, sono poste da persone sopra i 50 anni, non riguardano praticamente mai il colore della pelle, quanto piuttosto il fatto che sono immigrati, persone da fuori che "arrivano a rubare il lavoro e a portare delinquenza". E ribadisco che, se invece di africani si fosse trattato di albanesi (per esempio) sarebbe stata la stessa cosa, se non peggio (nel passato c'è stata una fortissima immigrazione dall'Albania, buona parte tramite una sorta di malavita organizzata). Il colore è secondario. La differenza tra una sfumatura o l'altra, tra giallo o nero, viene considerata pochissimo. Chiaramente, come diceva Barbara, le persone di colore sono infinitamente meno e sono più facilmente riconoscibili di altri immigrati la cui colorazione può essere più simile alla nostra. Se non mi sbaglio (e Tia, chiedo la tua conferma), anche la maggior parte degli italiani ha una carnagione molto più scura dello standard americano. Detto questo, il pregiudizio c'è ed è forte, innegabilmente, ma in forme chiaramente diverse dall'America. Anche e soprattutto a livello legislativo.

Si, certo, ovviamente si tratta di generalizzazioni! Più che altro io mi riferisco al tipo di razzismo a cui mi capita (purtroppo) di assistere. Va anche detto che dove vivo (a Siena, in toscana) la percentuale di neri è decisamente bassa rispetto ad altri centri urbani più grandi, come Milano, o anche Firenze. Indubbiamente ci sono anche quelle volte in cui la discriminazione è più marcata a causa di una pelle "troppo scura", ma, per quello che mi è capitato di vedere, sono davvero i casi più rari. La storia delle due nazioni è profondamente diversa, in ogni senso possibile, è chiaro che anche il pregiudizio vive due esperienze separate. Trovo affascinanti i video in cui se ne discute :)

This video is so interesting I always wanted to know the differences between Afro-Americans and Afro-Italians. When I have to say someone is black in Italy I always say "nero" instead of "di colore" and I notice most of my Italian friends (white Italian friends) they looked at me as if I almost said something racist like the n word. Idk why, maybe because they think saying "nero" is more direct instead of being vague like in "di colore" but "nero" to me always sounded like a color as in saying "white person", "persona bianca". And on the opposite "di colore" is specifying somebody who is black starting from the point that this person is non-white, so making a distinction based on a white perspective instead of describing a person like it is like in saying "nero". "Di colore" never sounded okay to me but never asked anybody who's black about it. I'm glad you addressed that!

African Americans are the people whos ancestors were so called stolen from Africa and forced to work as slaves in America by the Europeans. Also not all come from Africa some are native to the Americas. And it's believed that some native American black people were taken back to West Africa. So really there's people everywhere. But we all look the same so we just call ourselves African Americans. African Americans spent 300 years building America for free as slaves while being tortured put into zoos, rapes, aten alive by dogs, families torn apart, forced to not have education, brainwashed to forget our language and culture. Then 50 years after that being segegrated tortured and poverished daily in modernized America. After 50 years here we are. While Nigerian Americans just got here and their ancestors did not have to expirence any of that.

Im “African-American” or a black American & I don’t think it’s too “politically correct” for us, as descendants of stolen African slaves in America, to have a title of our own to identify with. I mean, we don’t have much else. We created and made our own history here in America. Everyone gets to rep their ppl, their country, their culture, lingo and food but we kinda get side swept and thrown in the mix & overlooked and just thrown with all the other blacks.. when in fact we have created and invented SO MUCH in the USA and internationally but we don’t get acknowledged for it & we’re still looked down upon the most by just about everyone 😂 it’s insane. I’m all for pan-african love & unity but I just feel like we have a right to call something our own. It’s like whatever we have or create is never really ours, it’s for everybody.

Henares Morena I've always identified as half Jamaican half Nigerian in America but that was never an option on official government forms. On government forms I was always black or African American (these were always listed as ONE option). I've always seen African American to mean what Jessie Jackson (who coined the term) meant it as: an American of African descent... so even though my preferred "label" was Jamaican/Nigerian, I always considered myself American of African descent. Anyways, in this video, the term AA is used in the traditional sense, American of African descent to draw parallels to Italian of African descent (Afro Italian). The whole "AA means descendent of slaves" is a new concept and I addressed that in the video. Fun fact, in Italy they don care about any of this, you can tell them your origins a million they'll always see an American as just American... black American if you're lucky and they say Afro-americani to say the same thing.

I just think it's weird to see some speak as authority figures about groups they're not a part of.

I think the main difference is that (in general) the US is affected by racism while Italy and Europe in general are more affected by xenophobia. I am not racist nor xenophobic so it really takes an effort for me to understand where the differences between "us" and "then" come from, but I think in the xenophobe mind it isn't really about the color of your skin, it's about you being an immigrant who supposedly steals jobs (read: lowers the price of labor), steals women/men to steal their money and their children ruin the italian genes (or whatever it is that makes us italian), does not follow the same traditions and culture bla bla bla. You could be the whitest looking african or eastern european, but if you are not italian or from countries considered acceptable (because you're not an immigrant if you go away from them), you will always get some kind of comment from xenophobes. I don't really think our problem really comes from racism, but again there are so many shades of it that I wouldn't be that sure. About the whole n word-poc-black discussion, I think there's no way we can use negro if not in very specific contests like those tia mentioned, but at the same time I do consider it very sad to call people black, white, yellow and brown and I see that it's really becoming a thing in italy whereas I think it's really something that shouldn't be imported here from america cause that's the last thing we need. The same concept goes for di colore, but maybe it's the least horrible way to call somebody, I think in Italy we use it just for black people because we don't really see "yellow people" or "brown people" but either "chinese" and "indians" which is not good either since they're not the only countries of Asia. So what I say is we should find another way to define ourselves, people with black skin, people with yellow skin, people with brown skin etc.

This is very eye-opening. I am a Hispanic ("Latina" to other communities but I identify with my native american side more strongly than any possible european descent) and have dealt with colorism more by other Hispanics than by any other groups. I fail to understand why it is still an issue, but I imagine is it a cycle of pain that keeps a momentum in people's hearts.

Hi girls! Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and opinions about living in Italy as black individuals (I use the word black cause I live in NYC and as Tia says that’s the “politically correct” word here ehehhe)...I really appreciate Tia’s videos because it reflects a genuine interest in understanding a different culture (Italian in this case) which is something I rarely found over here..I would be glad to talk with you both about my racism experience as a white Italian in Italy and abroad (not only the US)..right now I would just like to report you a definition of racism that a Spanish-Chilean friend gave to me concerning the way racism is different between America and Europe in general...due to the wide difference between our histories he said to me that he founds the Europeans having a form of “local” racism, meaning that you can find racism within a country against other countries, areas of another countries but not the whole, against single region or even within a city..saying that he basically meant that racism in Europe is a whole complex topic that would take a round table of people from all over the world to discuss but it still would be hard to define it as it is defined in the USA! Again though, thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and I’ll keep watching your videos for sure!! Best

There is a movement for the census because for so long black Americans who are descendants of slaves and cannot lay claim to any other place as our home have been purposely left without self identification for centuries. When we finally started finding pride and identity in our culture we had an influx of immigrants from other predominantly black nations in the late 1960s (thanks in large part to the civil rights movement and the act created in 1964) who started identifying as African American and that left people confused and questioning what an actual generational black American is. That was unfair to us as a people.

Purely psychologically speaking, and speaking of an individual person, after any negative period of time or experience, you really can't move on from it until you stop thinking about it, stop rehashing all the negative details, stop talking about it. You reach a point where you kind of just say, you know what, it happened, I can't change it, I can learn from it, but I won't let it define who I am and I can let it go. I wish so much that every person, every family, every nationality, every race that has something truly horrific in their past, could reach a point where they say, you know what, it's over and I don't have to keep bad memories alive, and I want the hate and the hurt to be nothing but a distant memory that doesn't even come to mind anymore. I feel like racism in the US is fueled by the history of slavery. I'm white American, but I'm descended from people who came from Italy and Northern Europe well after slavery was ended, and yet I've been called "white devil" by people who apparently want to keep hate alive. Racism definitely goes both ways, I wish we could just stop feeding it and let it die.

I feel you about the Afro thing... that's why I chose to be called Black American. You said yourself that many people within America don't identify with being American. I chose that name because I do identify with being American. Being black and American has a different set of experiences than being a Black immigrant from somewhere else. We don't have a home country to identify with other than America. My great great grandmother was from Chicago! I have the mindset that my people built America with their bare hands. We have a different sentiment of ownership of America from that fact alone. I absolutely love what you did with this video, but some things stated were more of the sentiments of more recent immigrants or Blacks with home countries they identify with.

"Being black is an experience" ain't that the truth. Interesting conversation Tia. Your friend is gorgeous and I'm loving the look you are serving! The point about referring to a person as black was something I often hear. What's interesting to me is that an African generally, will not refer to themselves as black. Heck even referring to an African as African was at one time problematic but I think the younger generation is embracing it. It's almost always by country of origin. As they travel internationally that's when they are told they black.

Linda Tinah TV africans not wanting to be called black is interesting to me. i've heard that african immigrants in america,because of the bad reputation of african americans will not call themselves black. now white americans unless they hear an accent. will not call any "black" person they see "african". or they assume that any person of subsaharan descent had the same experience of what is (stereo)typical of the "black experience ". i think maybe african immigrants try to form their little ethno islands so that they don't become "black". the problem is that. 1.american culture is considered cool to many people 2.much of that coolness is a product of black/africanamerican people. 3.african immigrants' children see people who look like them being cool so they imitate. african americans want to be in touch with our heritage so we add in things like dashikis or kente . add in the people from the west indies. really there is a pan-afro hip culture. o you got people whose rap chant autotoon sing wine twerk heavy percussion which could be real drums drum machine or beating on buckets. if you are on a street in some african country and you pass by men are going to admire your backside if it is round and ample, they will do the same in kingston,port au prince,or philly. people will talk too loud when they are close to you. i guess i don't act too "black" but i know how many of us are. black negro african, caribbean. afrolatino naija akata whatever.

James Walker I can't speak for all Africans but there are many who have gone to other parts of the world who wouldn't describe themselves as black as their first option not because of wanting to distance themselves from African-Americans. What I'm trying to get at is the fact that they are from a country within a continent where the majority of the population "look like them" albeit different hues, so there hasn't really been a need to identify by colour. They'll distinguish from one another by tribes and so on. I don't mean to write an essay but people of my generation especially forget or aren't aware that the term black was originally a racial slur but in the 60's the black power movement decided to "take back" the word and embrace it as empowerment. Much like the younger generation is trying to do with the n word ironically. You've probably heard of the slogan black and proud. The same name of the record which James Brown released in the 60's.

I appreciate this conversation so much. It highlights such an unspoken reality. I am of Sudanese-Angolan heritage and was born in Chicago, IL but moved to Italy at 7 months old, living there until school age with my twin brother, Sudanese grandmother and her husband. The issue I’ve always had was growing up was the difference between Italian and American culture especially among other non-immigrant African American people. I learned to acclimate to it to be accepted in American schools but it was always such a strain for me because my identity as a person was socially formed in Italy even though I’ve lived in America longer. Additionally, other non-immigrant African Americans always pointed out that I “acted white/different/weird” which was soul crushing for me as a child because I was just being myself but to them my “behavior” was unacceptable. It wasn’t until my HBCU college experience that I begin to meet other African people that were non-American immigrant who didn’t culturally acclimate to American norms that I begin to feel at home. Many of them has either out right rejected American culture or like myself learned how to “code switch”. This was such a relief because even among own family, there were often culture misunderstandings. Other than my twin brother, no one else seemed to understand me and my twin was the only validation that I had because otherwise I would have always felt like I didn’t fit in. My twin went on to live in 5 different countries after we graduated college. We’ve spoken about this many times as to why that felt more natural for him to move and live elsewhere and also how are cultural diversity affected the way we date and view the behaviors in non-immigrant African Americans. I love love love this. ❤ The only thing is I don’t refer to myself as “black”. I refer to myself as Sudanese or African or Afro. Black Law. It’s some deep stuff.

Tia, ho adorato questo tuo video come ogni altro, grazie a te mi sono appassionata all'argomento e devo dire che concordo con te (e con Barbara) su praticamente ogni punto che avete toccato. In particolare sulla N word ha ragione Barbara, tutti sappiamo che è offensiva, tutti sappiamo che viene usata in contesti discriminatori, chi dice il contrario sbaglia. È vero che deriva dalla parola latina ma è anche vero che l'italiano si è evoluto dai tempi dell'impero romano e la "G" è andata a decadere. Volevo portare un altro punto alla vostra discussione: io sono sarda e come sapete, il sud della penisola italica è sempre stato "conquistato" da popolazioni provenienti dal nord africa, per cui la nostra pelle raramente è bianca candida come quella del nord europa. Per esempio, mio padre è scurissimo, sembra che provenga direttamente dal Marocco o dall'Egitto. O ancora, una mia amica ha non solo la carnagione scura ma anche tratti del viso e capelli afro, ma entrambi i genitori sono bianchi e lei non è stata adottata. Nessuno però si riferirebbe mai a loro come a persone "di colore" o "nere". Le sfumature e le tonalità della pelle e i lineamenti nel sud italia sono veramente infiniti. Ragiono molto spesso su cosa voglia dire in italia essere neri o bianchi perché in effetti, al di là del passaporto non vedo alcuna differenza. Sono molto naive in questa mia idea perché mi rendo conto che purtroppo le discriminazioni ci sono e pure tante, però davvero, vorrei che tutti potessero ricordarsi che noi italiani in primis siamo un pout pourri di culture e colori diversi. Ecco perché concordo con te,Tia, quando affermi che il razzismo in Italia si manifesta più sul versante della provenienza che non sul vero colore della pelle. Purtroppo è così! Detto questo,grazie per questi video, sono molto interessanti! Ps. Ho scritto in italiano sennò ci mettevo millenni ad esprimermi in inglese corretto 😅
