lego 44,165 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Also that racial profiling video even if it was stupid, it wasn't a prank for the sake of it, "This video is a Dramatization of previous events that occurred with us in our tradition clothing while filming in NYC,” they wrote in an updated description of their video. “This video is not against the NYPD, it’s just an example of what we have to go through sometimes when filming in NYC. This is to raise awareness for Racial Profiling. ... We were filming another video for our channel with our cultural clothing but we kept getting followed by Police. So, we decided to film this social experiment on racial profiling. Too many innocent people get stopped and frisked every day because of what they wear or their skin color. We’re against people stereotyping others because of what they wear or what skin color they are. Hope you all can spread the message and help bring an end to this." How can you stage this incident on a plane full of people? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he doesn't deserve it, obviously... However, it's kinda like a death wish if you try to stage yourself being discriminated imo... Like we kinda live in a society where now every single type of people wants to victimise themselves, when there are people out there who are legitimately being discriminated for who they are. Read the description why they did the video, it did happen to them. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so they had to blur the police's face like they were passing it off as real footage? This is obviously not how you do a reenactment. They would have told their viewers in the description of that video if it was, instead of just blatantly calling it a 'social experiment'. They knew people were catching on to the fact that their 'social experiment' was staged, and therefore made the apology video. Pranksters do this all the time on YouTube. I never want to wish this kind of incident to happen on anyone, but I'm not going to defend all of one's actions just because of one incident. Racism is not a thing to be fooled around like that, especially because viral videos like that can further create tension between people already. Coming from a person of colour, I would be ashamed if someone my kind try to stir up **** like that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarryTheKnight 2,181 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Funnily enough, my mom was speaking Yiddish to me on a Delta airline plane this year so no one would know what she was saying, and we were never kicked off. Trump's america is coming y'all. I hope this YouTuber pulls a Taylor Swift and see's Delta in court Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It'll be interesting to see the response from the airline and to know the full story and not just a snapshot. I'll reserve my judgments for then The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I speak Hebrew but it's not that different than Arabic, same sounds and same hysterical faces from people.. it's just scary not to be a white American/European right now.. at any moment someone can treat you like ****.. Well and very often I say Yalla and other Arabic words lol it's really part of me and my Iraqi origins that I love to show up lol See I think it's less about language and sadly more about whiteness. I am half Jewish and speak hebrew, but all my grandparents came from Eastern Europe so I look white. I don't feel scared to speak Hebrew in public despite it being a Semitic language because people can clearly see my family and myself are white. It's a sad, tragic world we live in. One flight I took from london to toronto there was a security delay on my plane because a white passenger reported that a Muslim mother was giving her children pills (I am assuming it was Gravol or something common) but that dumb white broad thought they we're suicide pills or some ****. And that really rattled me because if the mother were white and her kids were white, people would note have even taken notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's understandable that your become ornery when you are a security breach for speaking a different language Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
