Guys thank you so much. You talk so well, with so much sensitivity and honesty, and bravely about identity questions. There is so much pressure around this issue it’s great to hear your views.
This presentation was absolutely wonderful and so well done. The chemistry between both of them was very nice! I’m black born and raised in the United States with all of its good and not so good issues. But to see this young lady with all of her international exposure being able to speak fluent Japanese is truly inspiring and gives me hope and inspiration regarding our young people. Her parents did a superb job in raising her! She has such a bright future in front of her! Thank you so much for sharing this video!

Honestly listening to this interview was refreshing because in America I was always taught that I look different than most of my peers (rather than just being an American). I was always taught or pointed out that I was black. When I was in Japan, nobody really brought up that I was black, except for some stereotypical questions I received rarely in the country side (I mean, Aomori is kind of far removed from the big cities). I really think the salad analogy is so true because when I came back to the states I was quickly put into the box category again. Thank you for this! I really love these talks.

The accents make it. Being bilingual, but where the accent from one language bleeds into the other, sounds stilted, but if you can speak both with a native accent it sounds a lot more impressive.
I would like to point out that the reason her identity likely didn’t matter in Japan is because she mentioned being from a very rural, country side where everyone knew everyone and her parents were knows to be well respected English teachers. Her experience may have been very different had she lived in a large city in Japan

One of them is a “race” classification and the other is an ethnic origin classification. We tend to use these things interchangeably in conversation, which is wrong and causes the confusion. One of them, when used accurately, is based on fact on where your family actually comes from and one of them is based on what the agreed lexicon of the era is for something that we desperately need new terms for. South Africa for instance has a high population of what we in America would call white individuals, but if you try to describe someone like this who has immigrated to America as “African-American” that in all likelihood would cause confusion here.

Good question. I’d probably say Caucasian-American or white-American for clarity if we’re talking about race. That’s what I tell Japanese people when they ask about my dad, because I don’t want people assuming that American = white. Because it’s a nationality. I wouldn’t make this distinction though if it wasn’t important to the topic (which it is here). And even though it might seem obvious what color Tiffany looks like, it’s not obvious that she was actually born and raised in Japan and speaks Japanese. It throws you off more since she speaks with an American accent.. Anyway, I feel like you can’t assume someone’s color either, because I’ve been mistaken as being Mexican or just white a lot lol, even though I’m Caucasian-Japanese. Edit: all these distinctions though might be because I’m from the US though.

I'm glad Tiffany had such a positive experience growing up in Japan. It's interesting to compare this video to the one recently done by Asian Boss about a half black half Japanese girl's experience growing up in Japan. There is no guarantee that just because your parents don't raise you to be race conscious that others in your community won't point it out to you or shame you for it. More than anything else, a strong sense of self is necessary to withstand those moments when you feel like you stand out from others in a bad way. Your parents should explain to you what your background is to uplift you/give you pride, not to tell about what you can't do or what society says you can't do.

Dear People of the World, People of African genetic ancestry are not monolithic in their ideology, culture, politics, and values. Despite what the popular media erroneously presents, the black diaspora is not defined by stereotypes or the African American experience. With all due respect to African Americans, they are not the ambassadors for all the world's black people. Racism -- Fact, Race -- Fiction Please join me in my struggle to dismantle the paradigm and remove the word “race” from our vernacular. In some European countries, “race” is a non-existent category, and even saying or using the word “race” or racial statistics is offensive and racist, due to the term’s association with Nazi Germany. Do you remember the Nuremberg Laws of 1935? These laws embodied many of the racial theories underpinning Nazi ideology. If you must label or describe a person, use the word “phenotype”, not race. Phenotype refers to a person’s observable physical characteristics or appearance. Alternatively, using the phrase “genetic ancestry” acknowledges DNA or overwhelming scientific (anthropological, archaeological, genetic) evidence. Phenotype: human variation, observable physical characteristics, truth, physical traits, outward appearance, genetic skin colour, hue, pigment, shape of nose, shape of lips, height, hair texture, facial details Race: scientific racism, fallacy, arbitrary, substitute for science, archaic mindset, harmful, surrogate for biology, lie, non-existent, fiction, illusion, erroneous, unscientific, social construct, political construct, oppressive, divisive, inaccurate, biased, justifies slavery, upholds discrimination, legitimizes segregation, validates supremacy, reinforces stereotypes, human invention, Hitler’s goal, eugenic fantasy, myth, false reality, arbitrary, upholds the bastion of privilege, cancer, mental illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder, harmful, denies and contradicts equality, science fiction, manmade, delusion, medieval, detriment, exclusivity, used as a proxy for inequality and oppression In 1950, UNESCO issued a statement asserting that all humans belong to the same species and that "race" is not a biological reality but a myth. Substantial research from anthropologists, biologists, geneticists, and other scientists have proven over and over that there is no such thing as human biological races.

Japanese is their culture, their citizenship and their country. So in all fact if a white person or even like an Asian Indian was to be born in Japan they’re Japanese or even if you was born in America and was brought to another country from the age of 2 and grew up in that country and learned the language u r a citizen of that country.

Being that there are many correct explanations of what race and ethnicity actually ARE on this comment board...Unfortunately the people who have made this concept up would beg to differ Shana. www.census.gov/mso/www/training/pdf/race-ethnicity-onepager.pdf But I can understand your confusion. :) To say anything is of 0 importance is probably not helpful and quite defensive. Whatever Tiffany defines herself as is the ultimate answer anyways. Unless you have a DNA test that can definitively say what her complete genetic makeup is, I’m assuming we’re utilizing the one-drop rule now.

You are of African origin. Our descendant were African.

Thanks Yes Iam alllthatandmore, you’re correct, the predominant research DOES state that we are ALL descendants of populations from Africa. Excellent point! www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/science/ancient-dna-human-history.amp.html Edit: But also origin, actually doesn't solely dictate "race" or "ethnicity" or sometimes even at all, if you'd like to refer to any of the official sources on this matter or merriam-webster. And if you look at the link above to the Census Bureau one of the very first sentences says that "race" is based on SELF identification. Everyone likes to leave that part out. We really should have a class on this in school or SOMETHING. www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_03_c-godeeper.htm www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html

I feel like this answer is very simple. America is a country/nationality and Black is an ethnicity. She is Black-Japanese or Japanese-Black. Right? For example, I'm half Black half White so I'm Mixed, to put it simply, but I am British and American (nationality) So I am Mixed race-British/American... I do think it's inappropriate to claim an ethnicity that is not yours, If a Japanese (ethnicity) person claimed to be Black, I think that is inappropriate because they do not share the Black experience, a Japanese person CAN say they are African (if they were born and raised in an African country) and still have claim to the African culture while not losing their Japanese ethnicity or gaining a Black ethnicity.

I never realize I was black until I moved to the US. The complex of superiority and of inferiority that exist here is really cancerous. Your parents gave you a blessing by raising you in Japan.

My opinion is don't think of multicultural background and just live your life.Dont too much about you are an Asian or African or American or European. But just consider all human values that make yours and others life better. Love ❤️ and Wishes 💐 from Kerala 🌴 India 🇮🇳

Totally agree with what you guys said, like why does everything gotta be defined?! And yes indeed I noticed that too, especially in America. I mean, regardless our ethnicities, the color of our skins and whether our genders are female/male/trans/genderfluid/intersex/cis/demi/binary/non-binary,ect ..whatever the term each individuals identify as or not (respectively), at the end of the day we share the same race which is Human Being. This is actually shocking to me, the fact that in 2019 some ppl still don't want to acknowledge it.

In my opinion, Tiffany was born and raised in Japan. Therefore, she is Japanese regardless of her skin color. Diversity in Japan still have a long way to go.

@@RougeLino I understand what you're saying but I for example am half german half japanese but primarly grew up in germany. But the influence my japanese mom had on me was so big, I would feel very alianated if someone were to tell me that I'm not japanese... and it would also not be accurate. My point is she doesn't have to go around saying shes african or something but she is definitely not just japanese.

@@naoli5481 well... I guess, since it doesn't have a definition, everyone can have an opinion on it. Personally, I was born in Congo raise in France (from 2 to 18) with a a lot of time in Kinshasa for holidays and as many *real* African people, I feel weird when people talk about countries and cultures that they never put a foot in.

I feel like her heritage is African American because of her parents but her nationality is Japanese.
