This video took a complex matter and made it very simple to comprehend. Thank you, even my 10 year old could understand this.

Disregard these "you have a flaw" comments... This is a great video! Simple and to the point. This video was used as a reference for an Anthropology class I was in. This really helped!

Very, very well put and explained. The use of the jelly beans as an analogy/parralells was brilliant. Thank you for the information!

[MrSanford]

This is awesome. I used jelly beans as a verbal analogy off-the-cuff yesterday in class, but you've made some fantastic connections here that I can't wait to show my students today.

Dangit, now I want Jellybeans. 1 sec I'm going to walmart.

I am such a hands on learner, I loved the concept that I can take and use to explain to students. This takes a complex and often misunderstood subject and breaks it down perfectly. AMAZING JOB!!!

So basically from the video race is your color ethnicity is like where your parents and ancestors are from and nationality is where your citizenship is

Perfect description. Too often people consider African-American to be a poltically correct team for the Black race. Which is why a British Jamaican or Ethiopian Canadian may get mislabeled as an African American by someone who doesn't feel comfortable just saying Black or is misinformed. When I traveled outside the US I understood how fluid nationality is. When I began referring to myself as African-Jamaican people were confused even tho I was considering denouncing my American citizenship altogether instead of getting dual citizenship. In American we tend to hyphenate our ethnicity and nationality i.e Chinese-American or Mexican-American but I rarely hear people saying European-American or Italian-American. To everyone in Jamaica we are all Americans regardless of ethnicity or race which can be annoying sometimes since American can also be a slur insult in some countries. Moreso, they consider the Chinese Jamaicans and Indian Jamaicans etc to all just be Jamaicans. You really did illustrate all of this simply and beautifully. Thank you so much

amazing, thank you so much. The way you explained this made it very easy to follow, even for somebody who is not a native speaker of English, such as myself. You really broke these terms down to their core message, no long winded explanation that you'd need a degree in sociology to understand (like most websites and books). My paper thanks you.

I was waiting to come across this for a while, really cleared up my misunderstandings. Thanks.

[hochi]

This is tremendous tool to use for myself and my extended family. Thank you for putting this together.

This is the most helpful video to help me understand the difference between all 3 of those categories.😁🥰

[drumcrazy]

Thank you for finally explaining this clearly! Every other video makes it so political and confusing!!!

[EvanNumberSeven]

I appreciate the simplicity and direct delivery. The first video I clicked on, this woman mentioned racisim, 1%, minorities, and 'power' in the first minute when all I want to know what nationality my jelly bean is...

[gracedickinson]

Thank you for making two banger videos I use to teach my students :)

[raquelojeda]

[davidnichols]

I teach AP Human Geo and Ethnic Studies, and I use this video every year for both. Thank you for making this!
