Wishing you the best in achieving your goals this year!

Politely, I don't give a eff about inclusiveness when it comes to calling a specific holiday. Those people who feel offended are shallow and doesn't really appreciate the true meaning of the holiday itself. I grew up knowing it as Chinese New Year and will continue to call it as such. Wishing you and your family a Happy Chinese New Year! 👍

sambal bij?

Chinese eten vies, waar is Chinese mensen daar veel vies.

Because you can and don't let anyone tell you otherwise 👊🏼

First time stumbling upon your channel... mind to share how your American English is so good and smooth, even better than the local white Dutch people??

I'm a CBC, born & live in Canada... I feel like over the years the white people are more aware of racial sensitivity and refrain from cracking racist jokes in schools or workplaces.... However, there's still a small pocket of losers who just like to make fun of any Asian-looking people and telling them to "Go back to China"... it's unfortunate but we gotta move on with life... no point bringing down our level to fight with them.... but one of these days I will just say "look guys, why are you so proud?? your ancestors stole this land from the indigenous!! just because you are uneducated & ignorant, doesn't mean it never happened!!!" - and then hope no physical altercation ensues lol......

Veel geluk in het nieuwe huis 🎉. Ik weet dat jullie nu druk zijn maar hebben jullie plannen met het Lentefestival (of Chinees nieuwjaar zoals het in de Nederlandse volksmond wordt genoemd)?

Weesp is litterally 10 minutes by train or car from Amsterdam. But Weesp isn't really the usual kind of city suburb, it has a beautiful small historic center of it's own, with some nice shops too ... Check it out and you'll be pleasantly surprised! Wish you and your family lots of luck and happiness overthere!

Weesp is gemeente Amsterdam so technically you didnt move 😀 Veel geluk in jullie nieuwe woning,

If you speak English, you are either an American or English, Australian or Canadian or Indian.

Wonderful video, thank you

Excellent.. Proud of you all.

I am a Dutch 'native' from Amsterdam, and although many Dutch people are not great fans of modern China (mostly because of the Chinese government with their often anti-western political views) i never heard anyone saying anything bad about (former) Chinese immigrants, or their now Dutch children and grand children. Never ever.

Of course you could never be Dutch because it's an ethnic identity. I don't think anyone can really become Dutch not even Flemish people and Boer people from Africa could truly become Dutch but their children would be, unlike you. Though I do suppose that the Chinese diaspora is treated considerably better and generally liked more then Moroccans and Turks or the other groups from North Africa the middle east or SubSaharan Africa aside from the dutch decedents around the cape.

2024 wasnt a good year for most Europeans, Billions and Billions wasted on Ukraine

Get ready for Lunar new year! Year of the Snake!

Fabulous Igrien, keep up the great work!

I am living in Eindhoven since 2009, and we have more and more expats living in this city because of technology companys around. Both of my kids are born here. From time to time, I am also thinking about to how my kids are gonna identify themselves, if they will feel lost simply because they find themselves are not belong to any part of the society. But again, since our neighborhood is so diverse, at this moment, my kids are not feeling any exclusive at all. I think over time, the world will become smaller and smaller and we are all simply the citizens of earth.

Well, that's easy, how tall are your Children? :) Ah you are Dutch :) And Chinese :)

Dankje wel

Heerlijk winkelen bij Oriental in Rijswijk zie ik

You make a great point about national identity sometimes feeling like a club that others can’t join, even though it’s mostly based on where you (and/or your parents) just happened to be born. It can offer a sense of belonging, but it can also fuel an “us versus them” mindset that separates people. In a way, it’s both very real (because it shapes how we see ourselves and each other) and an illusion (because we’re all human, and these boundaries are mostly created by ourselves and the systems around us). That’s why I really admire people who navigate multiple cultures or move to a completely different environment and still find their own path. It’s not always easy to balance different traditions or languages, but it also opens you up to new ideas about who you can be-beyond just your “official” nationality. It’s a reminder that we don’t have to cling too tightly to one label. We can embrace whichever elements actually help us grow, rather than just what we’ve been told to accept. Maar even in het Nederlands: ik vind het supermooi hoe jij je eigen weg zoekt in al die culturen. Ga zo door!

veel succes met je doelen!

You have the best of both heritage.

The topic starts at 07.12, before that she talks us on a walk through China town and talks about her book project. It’s two videos and topics fumbled together

OMG Dutch subtitles appear so much longer... ;-)

Think about it the other way, would chinese people consider a blonde, white girl born in China to be chinese? I don't think so. I guess you have to accept that sentiment, but look at the positives, you can communicate with both worlds and find a way to fit in.

ik kijk uit naar het boek!

As a dutch born kaaskop, I'd say you may feel you belong to wherever you want to belong. Chinese, dutch, chinese-dutch or dutch-chinese. There are so many chinese in the netherlands that you don't really stand out and in China you may not stand out at all, but depending on yr level of knowledge of the language, people there may also wonder where you are from

You also speak English like a native. How did that happen?

@davidwen maybe you should meet David Wen, he is a Chinese American who has been living in Netherland for a few years. :)

Regardless of your nationality, everybody should be proud of your own heritage and culture. Be who you are and find the balance.

My Chinese Dutch friend sent me this-I’m a Chinese American living in The Netherlands who grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown-your story resonates with mine too. Immigrant parents (especially my mom) who came with nothing and gave us everything. And being bicultural. It’s a story that many of us overseas Chinese share too. And it’s so important to tell these stories of our parents and our culture, so I wish you all the best and good luck!

Mijn opa kwam in de jaren 50 naar Nederland vanuit Sicilië en moest ook voor alles aanpassen. Hij kon op zijn minst 5 talen maar niet Nederlands. Dat kon hij nog steeds niet toen hij oud was. Mijn oma is Nederlands (ook een mengsel van Indisch, Brits, Duits and Joods) en die heeft hem veel geleerd. Mijn vader is Nederlands met een beetje duits, dus ben ik maar 25% Siciliaans waarvan dat ook gemengd is tussen allemaal volkeren (we komen uit Chiusa Sclafani een door noormannen gestichte dorp) en toch hoe ik me opgevoed ben voel ik me meer Siciliaans dan Nederlands. Ik luister meer naar Italiaanse muziek en ik kook veel liever Italiaans, Ik kan ook net zo goed Siciliaans verstaan alhoewel praten wat moeilijker is. Ik doe well mee met dat cultuurtje van jullie maar dat Nederlandse identiteit is gewoon niet zo sterk bij mij.

As a Dutch man married for almost 20 years to a chinese born chinese wife, I know it is not easy, be proud of yourself

It is perfectly normal to ask a person where they’re from (originally) in my opinion. When I, a Dutch white skinned person, visit to the north, where my brother lives, people ask me where I’m from. They say I sound from the western part of The Netherlands, specifically (around) Amsterdam. Im not offended, although I should be, I don’t wanna be associated with people from Amsterdam, they’re a special bunch. Most people are just curious and interested, and have no harm in mind.

This is a really sensitive one one !! I personally dont like this ultra nationalistic kind of mind state, how ever embracing ur culture language & being just yourself gives u abit of peace 🕊️

Waar is die supermarkt

Respect for your mother. She must be a tough cookie.

need more vlogs die zijn super leuk om to kijken :)

is your father dutch or Chinese because your title is quite vague are you dutch Chinese or Chinese Chinese living in the Netherlands and did you not have a dutch father ??? just say your Chinese father ditch your Chinese mother

I am a 66 yo male, born in (then) Djakarta. From an 'Indisch' (mixed Dutch-Indonesian) military background. My parents & their 5 sons came in January 1967 to the Netherlands as it was the last possibility for people of mixed ancestry (remnants of Dutch colonialism) to come. Call it sth of a repatriation. Racism was sth I really endured. I grew up not far from Geuzenveld, in Osdorp. On one occasion was asked by a 'friend' not to enter his house, because his mother hated coloured people. Suffice to say that that was the last time I ever spoke to him. Even later racism was still lurking. But I refused to get defined by these nasty experiences. Other people don't get to determine who I am. Although born in Indonesia, and I am aware of & appreciate my Indonesian culture & background, I am Dutch & feel Dutch. Not because Indonesia is inferior to the Netherlands, but this country shaped me in every which way. The fact that I am gay as the oldest of 5 boys has also a lot with that. Also I know what it means to be a Christian in a country where at least 80% were Muslim. Don't get me wrong, my dear mother was Muslim, so was her father who was a devout. He was the one who told me that Jews, Christians and Muslims were children of Abraham. That we were related & shouldn't fight or hate each other. Problem was that you were still different than the other children. Here in Amsterdam I feel protected & secure. As a student I lived in England for a while, and I took an Interrail on several occasions. I love Europe, but Amsterdam is the place where I want to be & someday to die. You don't notice you live in a paradise, till you are out of it. Sure the Netherlands has its problems, but somehow or other we managed to talk the problems away & stay in communication. Last but not least I want to proclaim this to the world: 'Amsterdam, er is geen stad die ook maar aan je tippen kan.'

As an Dutch “ethnic European” in the Netherlands I never ask a Dutch person who “has the looks from another continent” about “where do you come from”… I just want to get to know the person as a person, not “why someone looks differently from me”. It’s up to anyone themselves to reveal their identity, whether it’s cultural, gender or looks. The world today is mixed and it’s a wealth to get to know people who are different from yourself. Evolutionary the most diverse population will be the strongest to stand the future.

Your title already says how you feel: A Dutch Chinese is a Chinese. A Chinese Dutch is Dutch.

Je bent pas een Nederlander als je thuis ook Nederlands praat. Punt. Anders ben je net een toerist.

Very annoying: Subtitles i can't get rid of in the same language as spoken...

Support all Asians living in Western countries!

@Mrhouse must be racist Trump supporter!
