Raul Contreras of the Philippines (who became a crisis communication expert), Yoriko Konishi of Japan (became a sociologist and author, see her book at: amzn.to/3m3t3Vf #ad), Ratnati Iskandar Dinata of Indonesia (daughter of Indonesian national hero, became wife of a diplomat), and Judith Reader of UK (not much known about her) are the participants in this discussion. The two girls are not as fluent in English as some of the other participants, but the conversation is still very engaging and insightful.

What happened to these kids ? kzhead.info/sun/Z7RwkdGwppd3gIk/bejne.html
Lol first comment Btw the kids are so cool and smart I love watching them
I'm literally just rewatching this again jbxssd thank you for the info!
Wow! “One nation, under God.”
Hello
Top of the morning 🧢👌🏽
This Filipino guy came packing, with Intelligence, knowledge and humor
And a deep voice
And DEEP voice!
@@Karmaman777 bro did you just steal my comment
And a deep voICe
AND a deep voice
i feel like the indonesian girls want to speak her minds more but limited by the vocabulary... but then i remember indonesia back then have tough times to free themselves from colonization
Yes I feel that too but it could also because of manners, Indonesians are usually very careful in their choice of words in formal settings and we are always taught to be diplomatic
Yesss
@@NasyaAyudianti agreed
@@NasyaAyudianti oh how the world changes dramatically
the indonesian actually had really great points and arguments ...
Im high asf rn and i was NOT expecting the boys voice to sound like that 😭😭
Raul is 16 and sounds 43 😂😂😂
ME TOO 😭😭😭
Instead of working with/for his dad he was working for an education. Unless he actually talked about his childhood in this whole Debate. Things like that was probably respected by those people back then but now preserving your parents/fathers history is most likely better than being yourself.
aye yo for reals! I was expecting him to have that squeaky Asian voice!
@@unbothered87what is an Asian squeaky voice? Most Asian men I know have deeper voice than white and Hispanic men 💀
These kids are older than my parents. There ability to carry out a respectful dialogue while being able to laugh at themselves at such a tender age is inspiring.
I wonder why is korea not on the list
@Usaforlife1exacto !! Que vuelvan las buenas generaciones 😔
@Usaforlife1 that barely happens wdym?
Well in 1956 Korea had just been through the Korean War which devastated their country, that probably didn't help. At the time, it was one of the poorest countries in the world.@@jkookk-rh1wp

Yep like a ph president from 1915-2002

UPDATE ON THE PARTICIPANTS: Judith Reader's conversion to Catholicism deeply shaped her life's trajectory. In 1977 she participated in a documentary centered on her Catholic faith, embarking on a journey with her family to Rome. Now in her 80s, Judith remains an active and devoted member of her church. Yuriko Meguro followed an academic path, becoming a distinguished professor of sociology and emerging as a leading scholar in gender studies in Japan. Her contributions extended beyond academia as she served as the UN representative in Japan on women's issues. She is alive, and is quite "hip" with blue hair! Rarnati pursued her passion for literature, majoring in the subject at an Indonesian university and later earning another degree in France. Her life took an international turn as she married a diplomat, though she passed away many years ago. Raul Contreras found his niche in public relations, working for the Playtex Bra company. His expertise even led him to serve as an advisor to President Aquino of the Philippines. Sadly, Raul passed away in 2012 at the age of 72 due to complications from Lupus.
President Aquino? PNoy or President Corey Auino?
Oh god thank You for this. 🥹
Its President Cory Aquino.@@jjam1025
Pls as a Filipino I want to find out if it is Former President Noynoy Aquino or Former President Corey Aquino. Thank you@

i have seen this comment before
I think you meant videography and photography is the closest thing to a time machine. Those came first long time ago than YT. :)
You also have one in your skull
I absolutely loved this. What a beautiful content. But I also got a kick out of...: "What are your prejudices?" Filipino: Against the country that raped and pillaged my country. Japanese: Against the country that had my people hostage Indo: Against the country that colonized and pillaged us Brit: Redheads 👁️👄👁️
That last one cracked me up lol
The most unhonest answer
Isn't Ireland = the country with the most redheads haha
The Brit girl has some real prejudices because she never questions where they come from and take them for granted which eventually grow into an atomsphere that everybody in it has to comply
That was the evolving or in there case devolving of prejudice to racist, prejudice is formulated by actions and conduct I don’t like the way people do things differently, racist, is based on how someone looks like visually, color, she highlighted the color aspect red signifies danger, or harm, so this g prejudice but racist, this is why most Europeans didn’t click with Africans or Arabs not because of their cultures but basically what skin tone they were, black or dark is symbolizes evil in a Europeans mind set, so they seen it as bad, that’s why they didn’t allow for intermarriage, they seen brown as dirty, and white as clean it’s a color spectrum they looked at, this is why Japanese who adopted this ideologies have so much skin lightening creams, because to them lighter means more higher class, they can deny this all they want, but it’s their ideology which what changed them, the Japanese girl, is only saying that about white people, is because they look more like her, light skinned, not because they’re behaviors are on par with attributes around the table. Is why the Bible and Quran, broke a lot of barriers and teaches ethics and principles over colorism, for the prophets like Jeremiah says man looks on the outward appearance and God looks at the heart and intentions, Muhammad says no white man is inferior ti a black man, no black man is inferior to a white man, nor is a Arab inferior ti either or superior to either only by actions, conduct and deeds. Pretty much the right way of doing things. Evolution is a ideology that’s backs racism, because you look at animals to gauge our behaviors, thence you become like animals, carnal, we are not animals but spiritual beings based on attributes of the Gods we serve. Even in the theologies, those who try to embody European Gods, who are war like, Aries, Zeus, ect, they behave like them, cruel, barbaric and inhumane, those who embody eastern Gods, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, are benevolent gods, forgiving and loving, they become the same, you are what you follow. The Abrahamic God, is also very merciful, giving and promotes life, therefore serving and trying to embody Elohim or Yahweh or Allah, you become like him. Our religions are filled with some of the best ethics, principles and attributes, that have timeline trial and error to learn from, what to embody and what not to, but if we rely on these concept ideologies, like evolution we lose all merit because we rely on things that have no merit to them, evolution is a concept idea, that has no actual merit if principles behind them to grab from. Plus evolution even in itself is trying to by pass a lot of facts and claim it for their own by ignoring the context and content to suit their views.
Bilingual kids having such a strong command of their second language on top of being so eloquent in their responses… as Teenagers… that’s amazing. So grateful for this footage and window into time. Thank you for posting this.
Except the UK and the Philippines. Especially the UK. English is PH's official language too.
@@TheseHoesAreLoyal english tagalog then their mother tongue, their dialect in the province. minimum of 3 language but based on my father they also know spanish because spanish are taught to the students during their time and the guy on the video is probably 15 years older than my dad
that lady from Indonesia must be from high-ranking society because no ordinary person could speak English back then. She was so lucky.
I think so. Maybe she is a royal-blood?
Yeah she’s probably from a royal family y’know “Ningrat”
is she somewhat have a relations with Otto Iskandar Dinata?
shes a daughter of indonesia's national hero.
Certainly the access to exchange programs was not granted to most students.
"We aren't exactly lazy it's just that we weren't given a chance to build our country ".the Indonesian girl really had a good point
I respect this so much.
Yasss... and when the oldest girl said that they want to help that country like I mean girl I know you want to try to help but we want to build our country alone because that's are nation and we want independent because when you work so hard for your country, that will make you feel proud that you did it independently and not relying to other countries....

This level of honesty and civility in a conversation is extremely refreshing. I forgot what it sounds like when people don’t try to present themselves as morally superior. I aspire to be as honest as they are even with the pressure of social repercussions.
well said
That’s true. If we tried having this conversation the same way it would be labeled as violent and heavily racist
That Filipino teen is like handling this debate like if it was a casual meeting, he's so chill. He's very fluent too, Geez. Handling things *like a boss.* probably ate a dictionary, his grammar is amazing. _AND_ his accent is smooth as butter. My man.
yes, like my filipino cousin
@@user-vw5vu3hc1y must be hard to deal with😂 when you're not a filipino I don't know why but foreigners are easily on my joke lists to tease😂 even accidentally.

@@kimryansolijon5644 wait, no. What?!
Yeee
when the young Filipino man started speaking my jaw was on the floor like.. his voice doesn’t match his age but not in a bad way. He’s well mannered and spoke intelligently.
Fr dude sounds like a grown man.
He sounds like a 30 year old grown man.
I found it kinda funny when I heard him speak and he had this 70s radio announcer voice on the body of a very young boy. He's quite frank and articulate in the way he expresses himself though.
being fluent doesn't make you intelligent, it just makes you fluent.
@@mikei6605 that's another type of intelligence you know, being able to articulately express one's thoughts I mean.
Rest in peace Raul Contreras I admired your point of views and your answers to the questions. You’ll never be forgotten my boy 😢. Rest well 🫡.
Raul made me remind of my former bff and classmate, he wasnt anything special until he open his mouth and talk to you educationally, his charm peaked that moment leaving a long lasting impression.
Tf is that 16 year old’s voice his tone is more professional than two old guys debating to become presidents
indeed
Fuck yeah and they're like fighting and arguing like children aye and interrupting one another Lol! Typical US of A
His voice is more of a vintage radio anchor. 😆
indeed.
Very telling of the present. Manners and nuance have been thrown away.
The Filipino boy was only 16 this time but the level of his intelligence and confidence were superb and beyond imaginable.
Ilan taon na ang lumipas?wala pa din nag bago.,hahaha lagi pa din sinasabi education ang kailangan para sa tagunpay,hahaha lahat ng namuno sa pilipinas lahat nagtapos sa pinaka sikat na paaralan karamihan ng halal na nasa gobyerno lahat nakapagtapos ayaw nilang pagtrabahuhin ang di nakapagtapos na matyaga sa lahat ng uri ng trabaho,anong resulta lahat ng mayaman lalo lang yumayaman,angahihirap na matyiga,di nakapagtapos,di mapili sa trabaho,mahirap pa rin hahaha.
I don't think its superb or mature, thats just the norm back then, we look at it that way because on how much we have recessed/diminished our norm for intelligence and confidence, compared to even a current 16 year old filipino, having a hard time speaking english professionally.

Props to the older woman(the host) for being so respectful, understanding and not treating them like silly little kids that has no problems in life. She talks to them in a serious manner and gives everyone a chance to talk
Yep. Very much different than today, unfortunately. Constant interruptions in modern day talk shows.
Yes I'm so happy about it
Yesss
Now people treat adults like kids especially if they miss penaties in football!👀
You should always speak to children with respect. It forms good habits, rather than coddling or talking down to them.
This is better than most podcasts that debate on issues.
Wow incredible. As a Korean-American I never viewed Koreans the way Yoriko described. Can't say I like it but it's an honest opinion of a child that I can appreciate. Raul blew my mind with his definition of prejudice and consistently afterwards. Love that Judith spoke on the colonialists' perspective - an unpopular view but one that's real. It's great to see some of the people who laid the groundwork for a more inclusive world we live in today
That was the 50-60s man
Yoriko, who was literally born just some time after the Japanese left Korea after having colonized it, was very brainwashed by the Japanese government to dislike Koreans, despite the long history of their abuse towards the Korean people. I hope she’s grown to realize how terrible her people were towards everyone, especially the Koreans
@@OriginalCovfefe How far back do you want to go? "Japan" and Korea have had a tangled relationship from the get-go.
@@ChadGardenSinLA with her, you only need to go back to the 30’s and 40’s. You are right, Japan has a lengthy history of abuse towards Koreans, including before the early 20th Century.
@@OriginalCovfefe In ancient Japan, immigrants from the Korean peninsula invaded the indigenous peoples of the Japanese archipelago.TerribleThey forced many people into cruel and brutal forced labor, turned them into human pillars, and buried them alive.
The Filipino boy just pointed out issues that are still prevalent until these days.
Indeed
Yeah proves that something not changed.
Yeah you're right, now it is directed at the Chinese.
1956 is too far but still no difference
All four of them did. It is admirable to hear them talk with honesty about the social issues particularly regarding prejudices against race in their own respective countries as well as the prejudice against each other's races. These kids are great.
bro when the boy from the Philippines spoke I thought it was another older man host or something, his voice is firm, strong and confident in a very intelligent way
Wow so smart Filipino guy 16
Yeahh exactly
Yes. So true!!! His well educated and smart young man.
@no name What were your teenage years like? were you out there saving the world like Greta Thungberg?- Probably NOT. Everybody is glued to their electronic , including you. It's the 21 century.

This really is refreshing to get back to and a good reference on how the methods and ways of debates and dialogue has slowly diminished in tradition and such respect over the years on some partys
I know I commented earlier but wanted to add: My father grew up in California but he was born a Caviteñon 🇵🇭. If he were alive, he would have loved to see this. He was a quintessential Third Culture Kid and would have found this fascinating like his anthropologist daughter (me). Thank you for this preservation of history heard directly from the youth of that time. Wow
CAVITEÑOS RARRRRRRRHHHHHH🇵🇭
I pray he knew Jesus and you as well so you can both meet in heaven one day and I pray he is resting in peace In Jesus's Mighty and Wonderful Name❤
I like how they are polite and patient with each other now people these days would just cuss each other off 💀
yeah, not sure what happen to the old-tradition of debate where both sides RESPECTFULLY give their opponent time to present the full opinion and each side get into it for further discussion. Now its just "who yell louder" or "who speak quicker" contest and trying to trip each other off with stupid points.
@@tigera6 At this point it’s not even debating anymore
You'll do realize that after having to have the same debates for literal generations people lose patience, right. When talking about civil rights, prejudice, and things that actually impact people negatively in a socioeconomic sense, because it's been done civilly and patiently for literal decades... They don't *owe* you that anymore.

Literally!! And the girl from the UK worded it “you think we were taking away opportunities from your people” like why is it think? She’s correct it’s a fact they took away their resources and opportunities to grow as a country and set them back years
It was so sad to me when the Indonesian girl was asking about decolonization and the English girls started talking about how the colonizsrs were trying to help and must decide when colonies are “ready” to be independent.

Extremely impressed with the calmness in this debate. Even when the Filipino guy straight up said that he had prejudiced against the Japanese, when a Japanese girl is literally sitting next to him, everyone lets him talk and explained his points. The Japanese girl is even willing to understand and acknowledge the reason behind such prejudice.

The original planned date for the independence of Philippines
Damn that guy was so good at understanding and explaining things at such a young age
What well spoken young people at the time. Great talk we need more civilized conversations like this
That Filipino guy speaks better than the government. Edit: I SAID WHAT I SAID PERIODT.
Better speaker than Obama

This was really nice to see. Everyone was so intelligent and kind. Read the description of the video to learn more about the students and some updates about them.
His level of mental acuity and emotional maturity is impressive.
The Filipino and Indonesian kids were beyond incredible. Their thoughtfulness and understanding of geopolitics transcended the contours of their generation. It was a great pleasure to listen to them.
Yes i agree..
Yes, I agree whit you
Agree👍
I a gree
Agree. Rest in peace to both of them
These teens were alive during the slaughter ages. To see them be there so calm, grounded, and open minded to hear DIFFERENT views than their own and not lose their minds with screaming “passion” like adults now in position of power is so eye opening.
very true
These people build our countries and now the current generation is destroying their progress.
damn right
And their grandparents (if 70 and up, if not, great-grandparents) were alive when people were still being transported to Australia!
@@kashifuddinahmed8383 Not true at all. It's the generation before millennials that didn't know how to handle the success those years after WW2 brought them. It was unsustainable and people didn't look far enough into the future, only now are we realizing how important united attempts to improve society really are. It has to be worse before it's better.
Wild watching these nearly 80 years later
The fact that they accept their humanity is very important and I love this
The Japanese Girl awkwardly sitting there looking at girl from Indonesia and the boy from the Philippines like “yeah sorry we invaded you like 15 years ago when y’all were kids”
hehe me so sorry when me country whipped u whole town lol bye

I think she understands that she had nothing to do with it. Most people from most countries are amazing people, it’s their government and their leaders that do the nasty things. I hope even today we stop holding people who weren’t there accountable for the actions of their predecessors.

@@dcarts5616 yes. You have stated the true problem that causes wars and problems, the greedy governments of this world. Every single one of them are extremely greedy to an extent

"when a person loses track of the dignity of the human soul and begins to judge others not on the basis of their being persons, but on the basis of race, creed, economic status - that is prejudice" I carry this definition with me everytime I say the word 'Prejudice' and people ask me what's that.
This video is priceless ❤❤
These kids had much higher IQ than most national leaders today.
Different priorities

IQ has nothing to do with it.

Fun fact, the father of the Indonesian girl is one of the founding fathers of Indonesia who helped in their Declaration of Independence and he was murdered a couple months after the independence was declared. His face had appeared on our bill for decades now.
They said that the Indonesian girl is one of the Indonesia's national hero. How come? I mean how was that happened?
What was her name
@@user-tz3lg2vj2w i don’t know about the girl but the girl’s father is one of our national hero. Her father is Otto Iskandar Dinata, he helped the preparation for Indonesian’s independence but was murdered and his body was never found
Her name is Ratna Iskandar Dinata.
Oalah.. anaknya Sukarno??
utterly fascinating
Wow! this amazing!
The Filipino guy was the definition of a gentleman, so much class and eloquence. Dang the Filipinos I meet in my video games are the literal opposite 😭😂
That's unfortunate, the toxicity and vague tendencies of online and irl Culture of modern day Filipinos is something I wish could change within us I mean I know that today's standards have change but looking back people in the 1950s-70s were a lot more well refined and educated considering they didn't even had the internet yet idk. Another thing is people in my country have a sort of Smart shaming or Pabida/Bida-bida in tagalog where people who are more active in class are socially looked down upon for being too vocal about their intelligence or just having more confidence during oral reports or activities which for me as having been experienced it for 4 years really did a big impact for my self-esteem I was so self conscious and also gave me social anxiety but as the years past I just managed to full out their cold and paralyzing gazes as I would rather end it with a big bang rather than to submit to everyone else's agenda
@@ivandevera7665 yeah that's really sad looking at these kids, they are so well mannered, the way they presented themselves, never interrupted others while they're talking, the way they respected each other's opinions and worded their criticisms politely. The kids of our generation could never even sit there infront of the crowd let alone talk so confidently about such sensitive issues of their country. This makes u question if this whole internet culture and social media was for the better or worse cause looking back at this it definitely feels like we're going dumber.

Its actually really refreshing to hear them speaking so openly and frankly about something like this and they all have their own prejudices from their own backrounds. But no one is getting offended. Just discussing how and why the people from their countries feel the way they do. These days adults cant talk about the weather without someone getting offended about something
The young people of this era are honest and open and speak so clearly and intelligently without vulgarity.
Even in 1956, the Filipino guy was already aware avoiding to mention the politically incorrect word today "Negroes". Instead he just used "colored people" in order not to offend black people. Kudos to this guy. He's just amazing orator.
True. I agree. Amazed he didnt even mention negro while the othet 3 mentioned them.
👏🏻👏🏻
But negro means black. Nothing to be offended about it. The politically correct term "colored people" do not just mean black people.
@@facelesstrader1351 I think he didn’t just mean black people. He indirectly probably meant POC in the US in general who weren’t treated great at the time
@@facelesstrader1351 haha.. you’re so naive... try calling a black guy “Negro” here in the US, and see what happens to you. That’s why I called that word “politically incorrect”in the present time. People are very sensitive nowadays, and you have to be careful.
When the filipino kid started talking, I immediately got goosbumps, his voice is soothing and gentle in a way that you would literally feel like listening to it all day everyday and not get tired of it

Its just a normal voice to me lol
@@VictorMarwood it's his opinion
I thought it was really deep
normal in the Philippines tho
Was not expecting that voice fron Mr Philippines there😅 In all seriouesness though i found this discussion fascinating and so intriguing that they addressed this issue in the 60s on an international level with the baby boomers. Wasnt expecting Philippines to adress the geothermic conditions being a contributing factor to lifestyle. I wish i knew where they are now. Thanks for sharing!!
Sir Raul killing it even at 15. Very telling of how far he went in life in his later years.
What did he end up doing?
Contreras had a successful career run in public relations. Having worked for some of the country's biggest firms such as J. Walter Thompson and Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, his most prominent role arguably was as former President Cory Aquino's crisis manager but he wasn't particularly proud of it.
"When a person loses track of the dignity of the human soul and begins to judge others not on the basis of their being persons but on the basis of race,creed,economic status THAT IS PREJUDICE" (THOSE LINES GAVE ME) CHILLS
same
Nothing but a fluff platitude. There is nothing wrong with discrimination towards a race, creed, economic status when the majority of said entity is responsible for crime or any evil. Wont hire a felon to watch your kids? Congratulations you just committed PREJUDICE
@@shizmoo5536 Yes, but to overgeneralize people just because one person associated with a certain race or background did such acts of cruelty is a very dangerous thing. We have to remember that not everyone are alike. True justice should be given to a person as an individual, and not fall into the slippery slope of collective punishment.
@@januaryhannaharanas3739 Only in a perfect world, you think a black man is going to judge a group of skinheads walking by him individually or assume they are out to hurt him? Like I said, racism/discrimination is perfectly fine and is the reason youre alive when statistics are on the side of your assumption. If youre just a racist because someone looks different youre a low iq fool
ok
I've just found out that the Indonesian girl Ratnati Iskandardinata was a daughter of Indonesian National Hero Otto Iskandardinata. That's why she was talking about colonialism bcz her father fought against colonialism. Her father was one of our founding father.
I imagined her as she was from India 🙂 loved her! She talked all the points what any Indian would like to say!
