this part of the interview had me nodding my head and agreeing with Keeho. I experienced everything that he mentioned while growing up in the US as an Asian American and it takes time to just be happy with who you are and not change for others.
Before, (Asian) people were ashamed to say their own culture and thought people would make fun of them and their culture but it's glad that Now it's not that same like K-pop really brought more respect and appreciation to their country.
I hate that some have felt this way and I know it happens all around the world. But I think part of it depends on where you grew up and the people you were around. I live in the south eastern part of the US and the schools I attended were very diverse. My high school friend group consisted of Korean, Japanese, white and black Americans. I am Italian/Hispanic and a first generation American. We enjoyed hearing and learning about each other’s cultures and absolutely LOVED eating at each other’s homes. (Aside from squid, I loved all the Asian foods I tried including Kimchi.) And if anyone had bad thoughts of us, we were not aware of it. Sure I had mean things said to me a few times but honestly I didn’t care. There’s always going to be jerks in this world but we just can’t give them power over us. And we can’t hate others because of a few bad people.
im someone who is mixed but born in united states and i definetely felt this , and especially because i dont know what my culture is exactly , but ive just learned that i can adopt my culture from my dad's side even if its not something that i grew up with as much as my dad did. Keeho makes me valid when I sometimes feel this way.
I agree I grew up In white neighborhoods and I was ashamed to be black the way they spoke about black people it took me having a black roommate in college and us becoming best friends for me to love myself and where I came from

That was most of us wasn't it? We wanted lunchables for lunch, used our "christian" names in everyday life, and spoke with a perfectly neutral accent.
Same . Difference for me was skin color
i relate to him so much
I agree I grew up
In white neighborhoods and I was ashamed to be black the way they spoke about black people it took me having a black roommate in college and us becoming
best friends for me to love myself and where I came from
Personally I never felt ashamed of my roots even though in the country where I live people are pretty xenophobic
