So the other day I was interested in this girl, but she wasn't interested in me
cause she said I was Asian.
So today I'm gonna go around and ask people
if they have personal preferences when it comes to race and culture
when picking a partner.
This is Vancouver talks.
I've been asking people on the street
what their personal preferences is in terms of race or culture
when it comes to looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend.
- Oh, damn. A deep question. - Damn. (Laughs)
- I'm Muslim and I'm not allowed to date.
- You're not allowed.. (laughs)
That's a good answer though.
- I don't care. No. - You don't care? No?
- Yeah. I don't care, but my parents would. - Oh. Your parents would.
- Yeah. For Sure. - Yeah
I think I prefer, like...
maybe the international ones, Mexican girls or Brazilian ones.
- Ok. Ok
- So, not only Russians. But Russian girls are very beautiful.
- So he's Russian. - Yeah, I'm from Russia but...
- Just to make sure nobody's guessing. - like, Russian girls are very beautiful
but Mexican and Brazilian, beautiful too, I think. - are, are...
- are better than Russians. - No no no. (laughs) No.
- like, uh, Russian girls are beautiful inside, soul.
Russian soul, Russian soul. - I got you. I understand, I understand.
Um, a good person. I don't really look for something on the outside.
- Oh, no? - Not at all.
- So, your parents are not like, you know, you have to date...
- My parents don't even know, like, what nationality they actually are.
Do you look specifically for a race or culture?
- No
- It doesn't matter? - It doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter. - It doesn't matter.
- Do you specifically... - No, no, no. I'm not looking for anything.
-Oh, okay. - It would just have to be like, I don't know.
It could be any race, any culture, any nationality.
Just a huge dick, please.
That's what he's, yeah ...
It's the interests.
If you have similar interest, that's a big thing.
Interests are a big thing, as well as personality.
If you have a similar personality that's a big thing too.
I don't give a fuck what colour you are. - Ok.
- So... - I like Romanian girls.
- Romanian girls? - Yeah, and Latinas.
- So you're both Russian? - Yes.
- Okay. Latinas, okay.
- We are studying in school, and there are a lot of Asian girls.
- Oh, yeah. There is a lot of Asian girls in Vancouver.
- I don't like Asian girls. - Don't like?
- They're not sexy. - No? Really?
- No. - Why, why not?
- I don't know. I don't like them. They have no, like...
butts or tits. - Yeah, that's true. That's true.
- But sometimes they're beautiful. - Yeah, ok.
- Black girls are the best. - Pardon?
- Black girls are the best. - Black girls, okay.
Say it, you can say it louder. There's no black girls around us.
No, we're good. - I can find some.
- They're not re- It's really hard to find black girls in Vancouver.
It's Toronto you want to go to.
- Hmm, no. - Personally, it's half...
I like half-races. - Halfers?
- Yeah, yeah. - Ok.
Like half what? Is there specifics?
- Any. It doesn't matter. - Doesn't matter?
Like, Oriental? Half European? - Yes, both. Yeah.
- Oh, okay. - Yes.
- Nah, you know. If they're good looking... - Dude, if they're hot, they're hot.
- Yeah. You know. - Yeah. If they're hot, they're hot.
- For me, um, I got adopted so... like to Caucasian people, and I mean
growing up in Kamloops there's like 10 black families of like 80,000 people so
my preference is Caucasian. So like that's just like what it is. That's what I prefer
and I've never dated an African-American. I've never dated an Asian.
It's just like, when you grow up when there's only that culture
it's hard to, like, go out of it.
- It makes sense. - I agree.
- Comfort zone kind of thing. - Yeah, comfort zone...
Like, it's not really preference. I'm sure if there was a nice African-American or
or a nice Asian person were to like approach me and like want to date me
I would probably give it a try, yeah.
Do your parents tell you who to date?
Like, do your parents tell you, like, "oh only Russian".
- No, no, no. - No, they don't care?
- No. - Oh, okay. That's good.
- I told my mom I want a black baby.
- What did she say?
- She likes it. - She likes it?
- She told me that black and the European race... - It's ok?
- When they mix their, like, babies are gonna be pretty. - Pretty? Okay.
But your parents don't force you to, you know... - Oh, no.
- My parents don't because they adopted
African or Haitian-Canadians, like, they don't have a say on it.
- Well you live in Canada, like what do you expect, you know.
You're gonna meet a bunch of different people, you know? They should expect to, like...
And if your parents get mad, like, it's their fault
they brought you here. - Oh damn, yo.
- Damn. - He low-key right.
- It's true though. It's, yeah.
That's cause your parents grew up in a different... - ...Country.
Yo, all first generation immigrants right here.
- Do you have kids? - Yeah.
- Do you care who they date?
- I don't... - As long as I like them...
- ...no race and culture doesn't matter. - My daughter dated a guy from India
and I was fine with it.
- Is there is there a race or culture that you would not date?
- No. - Just, like, personally. Like, your experience...
- No. If she fine, she fine. - If she fine, she fine.
- That's true. - If she look good, she look good.
- If she likes me - which is very rare - ... (laughs)
- You're roasting yourself. - ...Imma smash.
- Imma smash! (laughs)
- Yeah. She can't be racist, cause, you know.
- Yeah, that's true. That's true.
- Yo, black lives matter. Okay?
- Keep the door open, right? Keep the door open. Yeah.
Is there, like, a culture or race that you don't like?
Like, on your list. On your top list.
- I don't think it's a culture. It's like a type of person.
- Yeah - Oh, type of person.
- You too? Yeah. - Yeah.
- Like if you're a shitty person, you're at the end of the list.
- So it doesn't matter where you're from... - Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- Yeah that's good.
Is there specific, like I'm not trying to be super racist
but, like, it's there in the world.
Is there a specific race, a feature
or something of a race that you do not like?
Like a smell or like... I shouldn't say smell
that's like obvious who I'm talking about. - (laughs)
Holy shit, I said I wasn't gonna be racist
Ahh, shit.
- I like a certain amount of thickness. - If you're racist, yeah, I don't like that.
- Yeah.
- Dude. I don't know, man. If they're good-looking... - Yeah.
- You gotta go after them.
- When I say smell, I mean mothballs, obviously.
- Obviously. - Of course, of course.
- Obviously. I lo- I love... I love curry...
I love curry... so much. - (laughs)
- (laughs) He just totally screwed me over.
Totally screwed me over.
I guess in the end it doesn't matter
what race or culture you pick
cause in the end, love is what matters.
I found a girl.
She's a really good listener.
