Yeah, I don't know, it just bugged me. It doesn't really sound all that bad when typing it out or whatever, but just the frequency in which he makes these kinds of comments and knowing his character, it comes off very terribly in real life.
Again, I don't doubt what you're saying. I'm sure you have plenty of reasons to suspect otherwise to what i'm saying. I'm just aware that you're miffed enough to make a topic about it, so I'm doing my best to get you to reflect on it from a well-rounded perspective <3

Sorry, I guess I should've provided some background. His family is super rich, white, etc. His dad grew up poor, very much unlike his current financial position. By saying "like that" he's implying that black people are by default, poor.
Well, I mean nothing he said sounds like it was inherently racist, but it could be lost within the absence of tonality and his character in your post, which I'm willing to trust you on as you know him more than I do. But, from a surface value, it sounds like he's saying "Yeah my dad was brought up around black people", which wouldn't be surprising if he was from a poor upbringing as minorities, for many many self-perpetual and external reasons, are being segregated negatively through the lens of socio-economics in regards to ethnicity.
You'll have to elaborate, i'm not sure i'm grasping your reasoning on why that's racist.

Makes me upset that people think mental and emotional illnesses like depression, anxiety, etc is a choice. Do you really think I or anyone else would CHOOSE that for themselves? Really?
It's actually a factor of both. Saying that it's a choice therefore anyone being depressed is just choosing to be so is a huge simplification that ignores the chronic chemical imbalances that can be at play, and more importantly the often lacking support structure that these people need to kickstart themselves back into a functional thriving lifestyle. But saying that it's entirely not a choice and that it just happens is a huge simplification that ignores the personal steps those depressed need to make, regardless of support structure or not, in order to get out of it, as well as those who put themselves in the situations in which they'll become depressed.
One side ignores the external factors that depressed people often need order to actually fight it, which leads to less altruism and care within society and adds prejudice that can make things harder.
The other ignores the factor that most people have varying degrees of learned victim hood which will entirely hold them back if they don't suck it up, stop looking for things to blame, accept where they are, and personally put in the work themselves.
Actually that was mean of me, it was 25 seconds.
What science is referring to is epigenetics which is a driver on a micro-evolutionary scale so no. They took something that sounds like it could be alluding to a point they want to make, when actually it's not because their point is 99.9% most likely worth fucking nothing.
Ps. Watched 10 seconds of the video. Confident I summed it up entirely accurate, which says more about the video than any supernatural foresight on my behalfsies.
