@@PowerRedBullTypology Well to me whether it's race or gender if you're not intrested in someone you're not intrested. However, that doesn't mean we should be racist or mean or disrespectful to the people who we're not intrested in or that we don't like.
Julie's back and forth with hating being fetishized and then being defensive about not being liked because she's Asian SO HITS HOME for me, gosh I LOVE this series. SO many times I had to slam on pause because I had to take a laugh break, because everything hurts so true
just lettin you know asian men with rational minds who supports asian women's dating decision also exists out there. A new chapter for asian is coming, we should cure these old wounds to move forward again.
Love Triangle I don't know who that is. I'm a white chick in an ltr with my Chinese bf. I've dated a little in every race, not because of race, but because it just worked out like that. But I don't criticize if people stay homogenous either. Love who ya love.
It's fine as long as people aren't hung up about race in the first place, but it's not bad to look within to examine the rationale behind attraction and realize any prejudices one may have.
This is my favorite episode thus far... I think after all four episodes, I'm going to purchase the entire set. Wong Fu puts so much effort into their work and I think it's time I support: I got UA-cam Red because of them and if I can give UA-cam my money... I can give it to them directly
the rest of the day wasn't going so well and then boom you responded with a very punny reply (didn't even expect it). I'm about to cry with happiness. GAH! Thanks for being in my life :D #keepinspiringus
If they didn't start with episode 1 and 2 I would have definitely bought it. Because 1 and 2 did the give a Wong Fu vibe. Relationship videos are their forte.
I really really enjoyed this episode, and I love this Yappie series. So far, this series has brought into light what most Asians struggle with, being the "model minority," struggling with stereotypes and so on. But this episode has done a good job highlighting the thoughts of several Asians. Sometimes we obsess over our race so much that we question ourselves and our motives, and it's sad to see that race plays such a big role in who we're friends with, who our significant others can be, and so on. Race shouldn't be a huge deal, but it is, and I love the way you guys highlighted the way Asians think of other races, and the way that other races think of Asians. I'm fortunate to live in a community with a lot of Asians. As a Chinese person dating an Indian, it really struck a chord with me. I'm glad to live in a place where this isn't as big of a deal, but this helped me realize that out in the world, once I leave my bubble, I'll be faced with criticism, just as the people in the video were. I'm glad that Andrew was able to overcome and grow outside his box. I can't wait for the next episode!
I totally agree! I am a black girl living in a community of dominantly Asian population. You do get attracted to who is in your surroundings. I grew up in the white community as well. I am attracted to different races but Asian is closer to the mentality that I was raised with. Respect for your elderly and certain household rules. I do not have to explain so much as if I was dating a white person for example. The mix of culture is so nice. Interestingly enough, many Asian guys love R&B and hip-hop and have similar hobbies as I. I am happy that this serie features a mixed girl, she has 2 cultures, you can see why Andrew and her bonded. It gives a positive light to another minority. It's refreshing. Thank you WONGFU +wongfuproductions @wongfuproductions
@@user-us9gl2fc5p I would date a black girl if i could connect personally with one but its difficult. Dont think they take asian dudes seriously most of the time. Fat people on the other hand, they need to fix that problem because it is unhealthy and unattractive.
I've been watching Wong Fu since the Just a Nice Guy days, and from the chasm between UCSD and SDSU, they have helped me feel included as a fourth generation Japanese American who has always felt kept at a distance in terms of Asian American (and primarily first/second generation) culture. For a long time, there was something deeply beautiful about simply making videos that just so happen to be written by, directed by, and starring Asian people. And now, as an almost thirtysomething, I find myself yearning for something of more socio-political relevance, something to spark conversation, and something that reflects more of the thoughts I have on a daily basis. So this series, coming out in this climate, and being even more relevant to me since I coincidentally date a black woman, this show hits home. Especially the part where Janine/Kaleena tells Phil/Andrew that she wants him to care about her being black. Because that shit matters. Identity matters, and I feel like a piece some people may have missed in this series was the concept of investigating what it means to be an Asian American. Like, what it really means. Past the dim sum and boba and liking Wong Fu. Which is such a complicated question that seems to go unexplored so often. So I just wanted to say thank you, Wong Fu. I feel like I've been such a quiet supporter for this decade+, the least I could do was spend less than what I spent on tonight's dinner for the series, and the literal years of support and affirmation you never knew I credit you for. So much love. P.S. - It's only $8, ya'll. C'mon. A good portion of people spend more money than that at Starbucks. When was the last time Starbucks made you feel visible, heard, attractive, intelligent, artistic, or passionate?
This comment really made my night. Thanks Greg, for sticking by us since those early days, and growing with us, and for buying us a cup of coffee. Hope we can keep things going and continue making an impact. All the best -phil
Wong Fu Productions Damn, Phil. You a real one for this. Even you taking the time to reply is a truly beautiful example of real, heartfelt gestures, no matter how big or small, that have made you and the team such a central and integral component of the API community. In case no one's told you today, your work matters. This series matters. The conversations you spark matter. The acts of creating and showing others that we're capable and talented and have real stories to tell in interesting, unique, singular ways matter. The onus you've dared to put back on your viewership to challenge themselves, their friends, their families in a world that continually places the responsibility and the ability to be and stay woke on the individual, that matters. You've got a lifelong fan, who goes just a even harder for you all now, for this. ✊🏼
Natasel lmao how you gonna disagree with the fact that more non-Asian girls are finding Asian men attractive thanks to hallyu when your not even a girl? I’m in college and a lot of women are more interested in Asian men more than ever before
+Evija *Nah, relationships aren't about revenge. Let ex's be history and gone. He's happy with the new girl. IMO, grudges only exist if you're still clinging on to the ex.*
I still don't understand what is so wrong in being safe and comfortable. I'm black both my parents are black but many times other black people insinuate that I'm not black enough because I don't care about the same stuff they do or listen to same music. So I totally feel you Andrew.
As a fellow Nigerian, I feel you on so many levels. It's like I don't fit in, my principles and ideologies are too liberal, too western, too foreign... and I get 'fetishised' cos I 'look eastern but I sound and think western'
The "black" woman actually looks more Asian than African, except for her complexion, of course. I really don't get why bi-/multiracial people aren't referred to as such. The west is really weird about this.
It’s a tricky topic when you’re mixed with anything. Sometimes when you’re mixed with black and your other ethnicity isn’t “as prevalent” then people will just call you black, even if you’re mixed with Asian or white etc. Sometimes though when you’re mixed, for example black and white, but you look more lighter skinned, you will be called white although you’re mixed. And vice versa. Take Logic and Zendaya for example. Logic is mixed, black and white, yet he’s called white. Zendaya is mixed, black and white, yet she’s called black.
I just want to put in a word about how great the production values are in this series - equal to anything on Netflix, HBO, or network TV. The photography, editing, music, everything was top notch. And that's before acknowledging the acting which deserves all the praise it is getting below. Great job, Wong Fu, top to bottom.
I agree with you! I just stumbled across it today, and I am pleasantly surprised at the acting, editing, lighting, sound and everything else. Quality content, they should be proud.
I actually think Brad's character made a really good point about growing up around mostly Asians because that influences the types of people you're attracted to. I think people tend to be more attracted to what they're exposed to and end up dating the type(s) of people they're surrounded by. If you grow up in a multicultural area, you're exposed to more than if the area you grow up in is homogenous. But, I don't think there's anything wrong with dating one specific type of person if that's what you live around.
"I think people tend to be more attracted to what they're exposed to and end up dating the type(s) of people they're surrounded by." Totally Agree with this statement. It's basic human nature that we all tend to be more comfortable with what we have had a lot of exposure to.
Yes, agree. Societal views of stereotypes of won its war in the dating scene. Men and women alike go in with implicit biases and expect o e to "act like" the stereotypes they are known for. Which is stupid in my point and all these racial prejudice and predicament usually have people alone. No one can tell you why they are attracted to a race especially if they never experienced the ethnic culture of that person then they are trying to complete a conquest, which fails because once they realize we are all men and women at the end of the day, you should be dating someone for the content of there character and the integrity of themselves and a loving heart..all those characteristics and values in a person should be primary, secondary, and tertiary. The problem with interracial dating usually comes to marriage, where the parent has implicit biases and is doing the same thing that society does. If you aren't for your child's happiness and you feel that being with the same race is going to help..just look at the divorce rates. Race needs to stop being a superficial reason not to date a particular race. However, due to so many factors of what's going on in our society there is a divide between POCs and white people. Environmental factors also play a role in that too, so many individuals are hung up on false innuendoes of what it means to be a POCs and those people find out damn they do not act RATCHET 🤣🤦🏾♀️🤯🙄. Then it says a lot about your character about a person and 10 times out 10 your going to dump this person because if their personality and character not there race.
This is shortsighted of the deeper reality. Let's pretend that you're a black woman (I don't know if you are or aren't, but for the sake of argument). Statistically it's a fact that black women are the least preferred of all racial categories when it comes to dating. Men of all races are the least interested in black women compared to other interracial dating options. All of those men would tell you: "I'm not racist, it's just my preference. There's no racist reason behind it." Let's think about that. Men of EVERY race just "happen" to prefer black women the least? It's just "coincidence" that black women are seen as the least attractive? Obviously racism has something to do with it, otherwise it would randomly vary based on the person. But, people aren't consciously aware of the deep reasons behind their preferences. So, no one thinks that systemic racism is operating within them because they don't consciously see it in themselves. I don't mean to say it's bad to have any preferences, but it is foolishly ignorant to think that racial preferences are merely individual. No, preferences work on a societal level also.
There's been many asian guys I've been attracted to in the past, and could never muster up the courage to tell any of them because I always get the vibe they never want anything to do with a black girl. Same with white guys tbh. I like that this video shows a black girl and and asian together, and overall, I love all the interracial couplings. I love seeing different worlds come together with the best of what they have to share, and make something even better, its so beautiful to me.
@OT7 not true by a long shot. When you are exposed to another group of people, chances are you will find someone attractive because there are attractive people in almost every group of people the more time you spend with them. I was introduced in middle school to Asian students as there was a very high population in my school. So I had my first crush there on an Asian boy and he liked me back.
I think it's easier to meet in a more natural setting like if you work with an Asian man or white man or who ever it will be easier for them to talk to you then ask you out. Other than that you may need to go to a dating site or meet through people.
I see alot of comments saying "they dont, they wont they cant blah blab blab" but really... We have the same issues u do. Why would we ever think a black girl is attracted to us when we've been taught we aren't desired by anyone? And even if an asian guy got a non asian girl its automatically assumed its because of money. Dont believe me? Stop taking words from random commenters and actually see the result. Some twitch streamer girl named lisa peachy married an asian dude and her comments are flooded with whites blacks and latinos saying he must have money, yada yada yada. So from years of being told we arent attractive, and that theres no way someone outside our race can be attracted to us unless its about money, how could we muster up the courage to even approach a black women. Same applies vice versa, black women have been told they are unattractive and therefore feel the same way. If anyone understands black women, its asian men. Stop listening to all these random sourpuss commentors and please take some of what i said to heart
@@josephkim3542 god dang, you are right. It also suck because the media + society = people perception of you. It is truly messed up that us as black women felt and are/have been told that we are undesirable. Then on the flip side it says the same thing to asian men. Yet, when it comes to asian women and black men. It like they are only desirable because of sexual dominance or submissiveness. Not because they see them as themselves, being human. That is why racism is a mother f×Cker. We are now acknowledg the side affects from it. From self hate , colorism, to dating outside your race. Not because you love that person but to erase apart of yourself. That is nasty. The best thing is that it is changing for the "better". Yet, that is debatable.
Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes.
Holy shit this episode brought up so many stereotypes and concepts and just made my head go crazy. Especially melody and the white guy at the bar, the conversation they had blew my mind. Personality and a bit of physical attraction. And then at the end it’s important to recognize that persons ethnicities because it’s important to them and who they are. As well as not make it the reason you’re with them. That’s the definition of balance. It seems to me lately that balance is the answer for almost everything in life
Loved this episode! The only thing I wish you had touched upon is that Asian women complain about being fetishized, but many Asian women fetishize white men. There is so much discussion on yellow fever, but what about on the other side? I cannot count how many times I've heard an Asian woman (as I am one myself) say that they can't date Asian guys because they're gross or that it's like dating a brother (what?). And then they openly admit to only liking white guys, which apparently is ok but it's not ok for white men to only like Asian girls. If we're gonna address WM being attracted to AF for their race, we should also do the same for the other way around.
How is dating a fellow Asian like dating a brother? Lmao Asians are so diverse from Uzbekistan to Turkey to the Philippines to Israel, all so different looking
My question to Asian girls is how do y’all feel about dating black guys. I’m talking like nerdy black guys who might be a little into anime/not really thuggish? Lived in Japan for 3 years. Seems like the Japanese that like black guys seem to be into this thug rapper persona and they try to transform themselves into rap music video thots or something.
@@Euphoryaaa it's misconception by South East Asia, they think blacks are all the same but I'm sure you can win anyone over with some good conversation and self care.
The word 'fetish" is overused anyway. People tend to say a white man has a fetish when he's attracted to an Asian or black woman as if it's not natural for him to like other races of women more than liking a white woman. Basically, it's not a fetish but a preference or attraction.
Love how you guys balance the sensitivities without offending in anyway. That's some stellar writing there that many bigger productions need to learn from!
Well, because they did that, it's not really an accurate representation of reality. For example, they did not include the White Fever Asian girls who only hang around whites and don't date Asian guys because they "look like their brother" and put down other Asian people for laughs and giggles from their only white friends. There are more of these types than the Korean girl and the SJW ginger shown in this video.
“I just thought if I’m taking an Asian girl from them, they should get a white Girl from us” I just laughed so loud at work omg 😂 This was so good, I always look forward to seeing this series!
Lol only white girls in north america dont like asian guys well at least white girls from europe love to date with koreans lol seriously u can see many korean guys dating with super hot white girls in korea but it not so common as koreans are not good at English lol
This is a great series. I grew up in upstate NY, where there is almost no Asian people. As a result I never saw myself dating a non Asian girl, as a way to preserve my culture. Eventually I moved to NYC and later the SF Bay area, and that didn't change. Eventually I ended up dating a black woman and haven't been happier. I never saw myself dating a black woman, but I guess God had other plans.
I was going to say come to Texas because in Dallas it isn't an issue. You'd would think the Texas was worse than the East or West coast but not from what I am hearing.
i love how strong the writing is and how the dialogue is so firm and arguably HEAVY HANDED in parts. This short show literally forces the tough conversations that are not being done in society. To do it on LITERAL, almost UNREAL exposition was a stroke of genius.

Most of my friends are Yappies and the ones who aren't are still oblivious to a lot of the microaggressions Asian men face in the west. Every time I stood up for myself against any sort of racism, whether it was blatant or subtle or jokes, I was always met with resistance. That wouldn't happen if I were any other race and standing up for myself.
Ahhh such a strong observation on Male and Female Asian experiences, as well the role race plays in dating. Really great episode, Wong Fu!!! So sad it's going to end soon.
Right? He was like this is the first non Asian I've dated and it's like umm but she half Japanese??? Everyone really subscribes to the one drop rule when it comes to black people. 😒😒
She said she is proud of her black heritage so that’s what he acknowledges her for. I’m mixed but just cause I’m half Chinese I don’t expect people to acknowledge every single time
I know several Asians that are mixed...mixed as in half Japanese and half Korean or some other specific ethnic group of Asian. Most of them picked one 'side' and ran with it. It's usually pretty obvious why they chose to go with one over the other once you hear them talk about their upbringing and which parent might have had more influence....my point is that it should come down to her preference as far as which half she identifies with and he really shouldn't have made that comment to begin with.
Why does eveyone have to bring black women into this? This video is clearly about the dating struggles of Asian people but somehow folks can't keep black women off their minds. Black women are the only group of people that everyone feels they can disrespect.
@@beepbopboop7727 Girl, don't take that racist proganda data seriously. In real life, an attractive woman gets her picks from numerous of men regardless of race. Those racist studies that say black women are the least desired is just a way to program black women to having low self-esteem/less competitive. It's also a way to contnue programing men from dating black women. Let's be clear, an attractive black woman that's fit and classy is a force to be reckoned with. Other races of women are not superior to black women but we are very unique competition for them. Part of white supremacy is to make the sheep believe that white women or women that look similar (Asians/Latinas/Biracials) are the standard of beauty. If black beauty is recognized more by other races of men then the game changes for other races of women. In a FAIR competition that's not corrupted with racial biases, other races of women could not compete with the unique beauty of black women. We are the polar oppostite of white women. So in the meantime, the white male patriarchy has rigged the game for his white women. Wake up!
@@ms.bubs4fun506 its not just about asians idiot they talk about the fetishization of races and black women was a essential part at the end? did u even watch
Wow, I REALLY loved this episode. Especially how the writing handled some of the nuances that come with interracial dating (and there's just so many). I'm mostly commenting because I wanted to add in my two pennies , assuming there's other gaysians watching this series that left with some feelings unaddressed. The sister's declaration of dating only asian guys because she was tired of being fetishized is something that I resonate so hard with because ohmygoodness are gay asian men fetishized the hell out of. It's exhausting. On the other side of the token, I started to get super critical of my streak of attraction to other Asian dudes because, similar to Andrew, I felt like it was borderline 'yellow fever' (or at least mellow fever). It's taken me years of walking that intersection of being gay and Asian to accept that as a gay man, I'm able to love a variation of myself. And that's not a bad thing. Touching back on Simu's character's comments, I grew up with crude representations of Asian men that eventually translated/manifested into a lot of self-hate. So at 25, dating and being attracted to Asian guys is a unique position of being able to express a form of self-love through openly loving someone who is like me. I only mention all this to reiterate why I found this episode so fascinating. To me, this heterosexual Asian perspective of dating within our race as sort of ordinary (reflected in Brad's comments on the ofscreen Asian Guy/White Girl couple) is interesting. Because from my Gaysian perspective, I think -- in context of the portrayal of Asian men that apparently many of us grew up with -- Asian guys dating other Asian guys is kind of defiant. Radical even. And kinda hot (but maybe that's just me). This is the first video in a long time that's stirred up these kind of thoughts in me. And I'm really thankful that this particular episode finally helped me articulate them a little more clearly, to the point of typing out this long ass comment. Thank you, Wong Fu team. (I feel like this all made sense. But maybe I'm just projecting. If I'm totally misinformed, please downvote my comment so that it can be hidden into oblivion.)
I love how uncomfortable and honest this got. It's such a messy, touchy subject, and it's so refreshing to see it all laid out there. It's endlessly frustrating, because if people see you as white (as in, you're passing), when you express interest in others outside of your race, some will immediately think it's some sort of fetish, which is honestly gross. I'm Latina mixed and I've always been attracted to men with certain features, which includes a lot of Asian men. I feel at this point, if I end up with an Asian guy, some people are going to confirm their assumption. But if I don't, then they will STILL confirm their assumption, as in "Oh, you won't even seriously date them." I just feel that you can't win either way. So perhaps people should just date who they're honestly interested in and try not to worry about it so much, as long as you yourself know that you love them for the right reasons.

Maybe don't assume bad intent straight out of the gate. They missed a trick about discussing mixed-ness here, that's true, but the video wasn't about that.
@Natasel "And act the part. Last I checked, the typical black woman would rather pull teeth that be a nice Asian girl who serves tea, speaks softly, cooks and stand BEHIND her man." WTF are you talking about? We simply serve sweet tea instead. I don't know many black women who don't cook for their families. Black women are constantly standing behind their men whether they be trash or actually deserving. How often do "nice Asian girls" even come into contact with a bunch of black women to have anyone be at odds with one another? The average US born Asian girl that I've been running into is not the old stereotype that you're perpetuating on here any way. Speaks softly LOL ok
@Natasel Failed? Who doesn't like sweet tea? Whatever sucka. Also, the first line was a joke but I am seriously pointing out that some sort of black girl asian girl hate is not a prevalent thing. Most of us aren't even in situations where we'd have to think about one another let alone running into a bunch of demure Asian women doing tea ceremonies to bother hating on.
This was by far my most favourite episode, all of the ones before were funny but this really hit home for me. Thanks for making thoughtful content, Wong Fu.
Brad's "Who's gonna believe that!" line was gold. Glad to see the series incorporating and fleshing out all the different characters. Makes all of them fun and more relatable.
this was absolutely brilliant.... you conveyed the very real questions that I, as an asian-american, ask very often within the context of our society! thank you for telling stories like this that make me feel like i'm not alone!
I can not put my love for this series into words. Thank you guys for portraying everything so perfectly and addressing things that aren't exactly discussed as much. (especially not so personally and specifically) sending all the love your way:)
I'm 4 episodes in and i'm loving this entire channel man. I've been on here for hours. And your Videography is so professional and movie like. And your character is so easy to get attached too. I don't often subscribe to channels but I can't wait to see what you do next. Getting some great insights on Asian culture.
I absolutely adore this sereis and it's relevance in today's society. It's so refreshing to finally have a show touches on topics that sadly I dont feel have ever been discussed to this extent in the media. Wong Fu understands that if you want something done, sometimes you have to do it yourself and I'm completely here for it. I love the execution of it, nothing seems forced but rather brought to your attention to acknowledge. Keep it up!
Now that I understand how to watch Yappie I enjoy it so much now. I was expecting a traditional web series narrative but this is more of a cultural analysis through a web series format and I love the perspective.
I think this has been my favorite episode out of the 4 so far. It is so interesting to see these topics on display in this format. They are things that I have never thought about this deeply as an Asian American myself. While there is SO much to unpack here, it is a very important topic to discuss and something I wish more people were aware of. The message is so powerful. Camera work is amazing as always. I felt some of the script was a little forced, but understandable since this is a short series. Overall I loved it. I hope this reaches more people.
I really love this serie , because I've always been intrested(wanted to understand more) in Asians in the world specially asians americans , my best friend is a european Asian so I've scene racism and all of those stuff where I live. But thanks to you and your channel I can see more and it helps me undertsanding so much things about life! Thanks for everything and sorry if my comment is messy or anythings , I'm not good at expressing :^) , Can't wait for more !!! Greets from France
Thank you for sharing a fun and very insightful video with us! It's great to see y'all starting the conversation on various topics regarding race, sex, etc. that really need to be talked about. I appreciate this episode, and this entire series a lot, and I can't wait for the next one! :)
This is definitely one of the most important shows ever released for Asian Americans. I love that Wong Fu and all the collaborators are using their talents to try and make a change in our communities. Not only is the whole production awesome, but the mission and goal of the show are both very meaningful. Really really good job keep it up!
I’m in an Interracial relationship and I always forget lmao I think people who aren’t very diverse with their surroundings are the ones who find it complicated.
depends where you live. If that Asian man is deep into his Asian community and has few or no friends of other races, things can get complicated because other Asians butt into your relationship
Seems kinda ironic that it's "ok" for the Asian girl at the bar to say she's not into white guys with no repercussions but it's "unreasonable" for the white guy at the bar to not be into Asian girls?? Double standard wuuuuh On another note I loved the ending scene- perfect example of open honest convo :)
@@atriangle3647 yup lol but mostly girls dating with white or black really look like girls asian guys dont like... They also could have been the shooters in the school without dicks of white nerds.
very nice episode. This is actually what me and my friends talk about all the time . The lines are so bold and sincere and straight to the point. I'm living in Shanghai and in terms of dating it's not only wild but...You guys should do an episode here
It's been a while since I've watched something that had me grinning from start to finish. And your videos do so, everytime. 😊 I love that I can relate even being a different race (Samoan). Growing up I felt a lot at times that guys only liked me in high school solely because they always wanted to know what it would be like to be with a polynesian girl just because.
I've seen attractive ppl in all races. If our personalities click and you're good looking enough, we'll date. I grew up in a mostly hispanic area, and that's the way I see dating at least.
This episode was AMAZING. You guys properly hashed out the extremely real issues of interracial attraction and dating and also the human tendencies that we get up to when we date people that share our ethnicity and those that don't.
Such a sensitive topic. Such an AMAZING episode 🙌🏿 I've been noticing that a lot of young Asian Americans interests align more with Black Americans, and I think that's beautiful! We've never really intermingled, and I find it interesting that music and dance is what's bringing us together. *The POWER of the slow jam* 😆💯💕 Side note.. I've recently discovered my attraction to Asian men (and women), and it makes me very confused bcuz I don't want it to be offensive. I'm definitely more focused on personality, but I feel like Asian ppl are raised in a culture that creates a personality type I deeply connect with and enjoy. And also they're super frikkin cute! *AND THAT'S NOT MY FAULT* #ThanksLA 😆👌🏿
I think it's really interesting how I can relate to some of this as someone younger than most of the characters, but also completely not relate to some of this because I'm in a different generation and grew up in different circumstances. I grew up/still live in a pretty diverse area (~50% POC) where the kinds of POC (mainly black, latinx, and asian) are evenly spread, percentage-wise. So no one bats an eye if a black guy gets together with a latina girl or an asian girl gets together with a latino guy, or if an asian girl gets together with a white girl, etc. Everything about my town is essentially average except the fact we're very diverse and live in harmony w/o a ton of racial tension. and I consider myself enormously lucky for that. Anyway thank you so so much for making this series! It's funny and it's also making people think and I appreciate it so much. On to the last episode!
After all the social issues that were brought up, I felt like message you were trying to portray really shone through at the the end. You created such a tender and real moment of what it means to accept someone: seeing them for who they are as a whole, including their cultural background.
Love this line because it’s so true: Dating is the most openly racist and superficial thing we do as society...
is it discrimination too if you only date people from a certain gender?
@@PowerRedBullTypology No at least not in my opinion
@@mistw.9323 why not?
@@PowerRedBullTypology Well to me whether it's race or gender if you're not intrested in someone you're not intrested. However, that doesn't mean we should be racist or mean or disrespectful to the people who we're not intrested in or that we don't like.
The only thing no one wants to be hypocritical
I love watching this series and thinking to myself "So this is what representation in media feels like". Thank you for everything you guys do!
I KNOW RIGHTTTT
Alright I've heard of yellow and jungle fever but brownchitis killed me hahahaha. Also loving the 112 and usher references
danielions playlists latinomonia got me lmao
wow did not expect to see you here i love your mixes ! :)
thanks meghan :))
I don't know about how others are reacting, but Janine Oda has given me a case of blasian fever.
What's jungle fever?
Julie's back and forth with hating being fetishized and then being defensive about not being liked because she's Asian SO HITS HOME for me, gosh I LOVE this series. SO many times I had to slam on pause because I had to take a laugh break, because everything hurts so true
chippa Asian women are the biggest hypocrites who complain about yellow fever but only love white men and worship whitness
just lettin you know asian men with rational minds who supports asian women's dating decision also exists out there. A new chapter for asian is coming, we should cure these old wounds to move forward again.
@steve beineke exactly. I was like "omgggg, do we have _another_ issue now?"
Black women do like Asian men. We just don’t know if they are attracted to us.
we are
Facts sis👏
Speak for yourself sis
@nature giver they're always into white girls bruh that's why we mainly feel like they'll never like us back so we never try
Don't include me in your nonsense I don't love them speak for your self pliz
nothing wrong with dating inside or outside of your race. Obsessing over it becomes the problem.
I guess you haven't met Eurasiantiger
Love Triangle I love that guy
Love Triangle I don't know who that is. I'm a white chick in an ltr with my Chinese bf. I've dated a little in every race, not because of race, but because it just worked out like that. But I don't criticize if people stay homogenous either. Love who ya love.
reb van preach sista!!!
It's fine as long as people aren't hung up about race in the first place, but it's not bad to look within to examine the rationale behind attraction and realize any prejudices one may have.
This is my favorite episode thus far... I think after all four episodes, I'm going to purchase the entire set. Wong Fu puts so much effort into their work and I think it's time I support: I got UA-cam Red because of them and if I can give UA-cam my money... I can give it to them directly
you did GOOD Jonathan.
the rest of the day wasn't going so well and then boom you responded with a very punny reply (didn't even expect it). I'm about to cry with happiness. GAH! Thanks for being in my life :D #keepinspiringus
If they didn't start with episode 1 and 2 I would have definitely bought it. Because 1 and 2 did the give a Wong Fu vibe. Relationship videos are their forte.
I really really enjoyed this episode, and I love this Yappie series. So far, this series has brought into light what most Asians struggle with, being the "model minority," struggling with stereotypes and so on. But this episode has done a good job highlighting the thoughts of several Asians. Sometimes we obsess over our race so much that we question ourselves and our motives, and it's sad to see that race plays such a big role in who we're friends with, who our significant others can be, and so on. Race shouldn't be a huge deal, but it is, and I love the way you guys highlighted the way Asians think of other races, and the way that other races think of Asians.
I'm fortunate to live in a community with a lot of Asians. As a Chinese person dating an Indian, it really struck a chord with me. I'm glad to live in a place where this isn't as big of a deal, but this helped me realize that out in the world, once I leave my bubble, I'll be faced with criticism, just as the people in the video were. I'm glad that Andrew was able to overcome and grow outside his box. I can't wait for the next episode!
I totally agree! I am a black girl living in a community of dominantly Asian population. You do get attracted to who is in your surroundings. I grew up in the white community as well. I am attracted to different races but Asian is closer to the mentality that I was raised with. Respect for your elderly and certain household rules. I do not have to explain so much as if I was dating a white person for example. The mix of culture is so nice. Interestingly enough, many Asian guys love R&B and hip-hop and have similar hobbies as I. I am happy that this serie features a mixed girl, she has 2 cultures, you can see why Andrew and her bonded. It gives a positive light to another minority. It's refreshing. Thank you WONGFU +wongfuproductions @wongfuproductions
You should talk about anti blackness in Asian culture
Edit:
I was happy to see that it was brought up in the next episode!
Spot on! No black No fat in Asian culture
@@user-us9gl2fc5p I would date a black girl if i could connect personally with one but its difficult. Dont think they take asian dudes seriously most of the time. Fat people on the other hand, they need to fix that problem because it is unhealthy and unattractive.
They do touch on it in Episode 5
I'm black I would definitely date an Asian guy!
I’m an asian dude and I’ve dated every race including blacks girls before. Honestly, not much different from other races
“Dating is the most racist and superficial thing we do as a society” LMFAO
I've been watching Wong Fu since the Just a Nice Guy days, and from the chasm between UCSD and SDSU, they have helped me feel included as a fourth generation Japanese American who has always felt kept at a distance in terms of Asian American (and primarily first/second generation) culture. For a long time, there was something deeply beautiful about simply making videos that just so happen to be written by, directed by, and starring Asian people. And now, as an almost thirtysomething, I find myself yearning for something of more socio-political relevance, something to spark conversation, and something that reflects more of the thoughts I have on a daily basis.
So this series, coming out in this climate, and being even more relevant to me since I coincidentally date a black woman, this show hits home. Especially the part where Janine/Kaleena tells Phil/Andrew that she wants him to care about her being black. Because that shit matters. Identity matters, and I feel like a piece some people may have missed in this series was the concept of investigating what it means to be an Asian American. Like, what it really means. Past the dim sum and boba and liking Wong Fu. Which is such a complicated question that seems to go unexplored so often.
So I just wanted to say thank you, Wong Fu. I feel like I've been such a quiet supporter for this decade+, the least I could do was spend less than what I spent on tonight's dinner for the series, and the literal years of support and affirmation you never knew I credit you for. So much love.
P.S. - It's only $8, ya'll. C'mon. A good portion of people spend more money than that at Starbucks. When was the last time Starbucks made you feel visible, heard, attractive, intelligent, artistic, or passionate?
This comment really made my night. Thanks Greg, for sticking by us since those early days, and growing with us, and for buying us a cup of coffee. Hope we can keep things going and continue making an impact. All the best -phil
Wong Fu Productions Damn, Phil. You a real one for this. Even you taking the time to reply is a truly beautiful example of real, heartfelt gestures, no matter how big or small, that have made you and the team such a central and integral component of the API community.
In case no one's told you today, your work matters. This series matters. The conversations you spark matter. The acts of creating and showing others that we're capable and talented and have real stories to tell in interesting, unique, singular ways matter. The onus you've dared to put back on your viewership to challenge themselves, their friends, their families in a world that continually places the responsibility and the ability to be and stay woke on the individual, that matters.
You've got a lifelong fan, who goes just a even harder for you all now, for this. ✊🏼

+Evija *Nah, relationships aren't about revenge. Let ex's be history and gone. He's happy with the new girl. IMO, grudges only exist if you're still clinging on to the ex.*
I still don't understand what is so wrong in being safe and comfortable. I'm black both my parents are black but many times other black people insinuate that I'm not black enough because I don't care about the same stuff they do or listen to same music. So I totally feel you Andrew.
Well those people are racist, they think you should behave and think in a certain manner just because of the color of your skin.
As a fellow Nigerian, I feel you on so many levels. It's like I don't fit in, my principles and ideologies are too liberal, too western, too foreign... and I get 'fetishised' cos I 'look eastern but I sound and think western'
Yup be the first one to call our own nappy headed and other s who look like us too dark and other ignorant names too. Smh.
Omg me too. My lil brother told me I have a lil white girl trapped in my body.. Lol
@@seriekekomo STFU you make no sense a person can't be racist if they don't see a black person black enough
The "black" woman actually looks more Asian than African, except for her complexion, of course. I really don't get why bi-/multiracial people aren't referred to as such. The west is really weird about this.
Who says they aren't referred to as such? People go by many names and labels.
I said the same thing lol she is way more Asian passing
It’s a tricky topic when you’re mixed with anything. Sometimes when you’re mixed with black and your other ethnicity isn’t “as prevalent” then people will just call you black, even if you’re mixed with Asian or white etc. Sometimes though when you’re mixed, for example black and white, but you look more lighter skinned, you will be called white although you’re mixed. And vice versa. Take Logic and Zendaya for example. Logic is mixed, black and white, yet he’s called white. Zendaya is mixed, black and white, yet she’s called black.
Malibongwe Shezi because back in the day, white people decided that any percentage of black is black. Because racism and slavery. The end
Because the whole mixed blacks count as blacks thing mostly applies in the US, Bob Marley was considered white in Jamaica
Yellow Fever pisses me off so much! I'm gonna have a discussion with my mom. #stopfetishizingdad

I just want to put in a word about how great the production values are in this series - equal to anything on Netflix, HBO, or network TV. The photography, editing, music, everything was top notch. And that's before acknowledging the acting which deserves all the praise it is getting below. Great job, Wong Fu, top to bottom.
I agree with you! I just stumbled across it today, and I am pleasantly surprised at the acting, editing, lighting, sound and everything else. Quality content, they should be proud.
@@MissLlah Yes, this needs to be on tv or paid streaming services. Too good for UA-cam,
I actually think Brad's character made a really good point about growing up around mostly Asians because that influences the types of people you're attracted to. I think people tend to be more attracted to what they're exposed to and end up dating the type(s) of people they're surrounded by. If you grow up in a multicultural area, you're exposed to more than if the area you grow up in is homogenous. But, I don't think there's anything wrong with dating one specific type of person if that's what you live around.
"I think people tend to be more attracted to what they're exposed to and end up dating the type(s) of people they're surrounded by." Totally Agree with this statement. It's basic human nature that we all tend to be more comfortable with what we have had a lot of exposure to.
I'm black and grew up in the bay area with just about every race and I'm pretty much attracted to everybody too
Eh, I'm a white person that grew up in a very white place. I'm attracted to just about everything under the moon and stars.
I say this all the time:
Having a preference is all okay it’s the reason behind the preference is what makes it racist (prejudice) or not
Natasel huh??
Yes, agree. Societal views of stereotypes of won its war in the dating scene. Men and women alike go in with implicit biases and expect o e to "act like" the stereotypes they are known for. Which is stupid in my point and all these racial prejudice and predicament usually have people alone. No one can tell you why they are attracted to a race especially if they never experienced the ethnic culture of that person then they are trying to complete a conquest, which fails because once they realize we are all men and women at the end of the day, you should be dating someone for the content of there character and the integrity of themselves and a loving heart..all those characteristics and values in a person should be primary, secondary, and tertiary. The problem with interracial dating usually comes to marriage, where the parent has implicit biases and is doing the same thing that society does. If you aren't for your child's happiness and you feel that being with the same race is going to help..just look at the divorce rates. Race needs to stop being a superficial reason not to date a particular race. However, due to so many factors of what's going on in our society there is a divide between POCs and white people. Environmental factors also play a role in that too, so many individuals are hung up on false innuendoes of what it means to be a POCs and those people find out damn they do not act RATCHET 🤣🤦🏾♀️🤯🙄. Then it says a lot about your character about a person and 10 times out 10 your going to dump this person because if their personality and character not there race.
This is shortsighted of the deeper reality. Let's pretend that you're a black woman (I don't know if you are or aren't, but for the sake of argument). Statistically it's a fact that black women are the least preferred of all racial categories when it comes to dating. Men of all races are the least interested in black women compared to other interracial dating options. All of those men would tell you: "I'm not racist, it's just my preference. There's no racist reason behind it."
Let's think about that. Men of EVERY race just "happen" to prefer black women the least? It's just "coincidence" that black women are seen as the least attractive? Obviously racism has something to do with it, otherwise it would randomly vary based on the person. But, people aren't consciously aware of the deep reasons behind their preferences. So, no one thinks that systemic racism is operating within them because they don't consciously see it in themselves.
I don't mean to say it's bad to have any preferences, but it is foolishly ignorant to think that racial preferences are merely individual. No, preferences work on a societal level also.
Yea but a race is not a preference. There is too much variation within each race for the simple race category to be a preference.
@av rmx I do agree that culture is a very big factor. There are other factors too though.
There's been many asian guys I've been attracted to in the past, and could never muster up the courage to tell any of them because I always get the vibe they never want anything to do with a black girl. Same with white guys tbh. I like that this video shows a black girl and and asian together, and overall, I love all the interracial couplings. I love seeing different worlds come together with the best of what they have to share, and make something even better, its so beautiful to me.
@OT7 not true by a long shot. When you are exposed to another group of people, chances are you will find someone attractive because there are attractive people in almost every group of people the more time you spend with them. I was introduced in middle school to Asian students as there was a very high population in my school. So I had my first crush there on an Asian boy and he liked me back.
I think it's easier to meet in a more natural setting like if you work with an Asian man or white man or who ever it will be easier for them to talk to you then ask you out. Other than that you may need to go to a dating site or meet through people.
I see alot of comments saying "they dont, they wont they cant blah blab blab" but really... We have the same issues u do. Why would we ever think a black girl is attracted to us when we've been taught we aren't desired by anyone? And even if an asian guy got a non asian girl its automatically assumed its because of money. Dont believe me? Stop taking words from random commenters and actually see the result. Some twitch streamer girl named lisa peachy married an asian dude and her comments are flooded with whites blacks and latinos saying he must have money, yada yada yada. So from years of being told we arent attractive, and that theres no way someone outside our race can be attracted to us unless its about money, how could we muster up the courage to even approach a black women. Same applies vice versa, black women have been told they are unattractive and therefore feel the same way. If anyone understands black women, its asian men. Stop listening to all these random sourpuss commentors and please take some of what i said to heart
She is biracial --> blasian
@@josephkim3542 god dang, you are right. It also suck because the media + society = people perception of you.
It is truly messed up that us as black women felt and are/have been told that we are undesirable.
Then on the flip side it says the same thing to asian men.
Yet, when it comes to asian women and black men. It like they are only desirable because of sexual dominance or submissiveness. Not because they see them as themselves, being human.
That is why racism is a mother f×Cker. We are now acknowledg the side affects from it. From self hate , colorism, to dating outside your race. Not because you love that person but to erase apart of yourself.
That is nasty.
The best thing is that it is changing for the "better". Yet, that is debatable.
Damn Brad stole this episode. Every scene with him was hilarious.
2:26 I spit out my food when Brad says he hates Yellow Fever. Also love the callback to their earlier Yellow Fever 1 + 2 videos.

Holy shit this episode brought up so many stereotypes and concepts and just made my head go crazy. Especially melody and the white guy at the bar, the conversation they had blew my mind. Personality and a bit of physical attraction. And then at the end it’s important to recognize that persons ethnicities because it’s important to them and who they are. As well as not make it the reason you’re with them. That’s the definition of balance. It seems to me lately that balance is the answer for almost everything in life
Loved this episode! The only thing I wish you had touched upon is that Asian women complain about being fetishized, but many Asian women fetishize white men. There is so much discussion on yellow fever, but what about on the other side? I cannot count how many times I've heard an Asian woman (as I am one myself) say that they can't date Asian guys because they're gross or that it's like dating a brother (what?). And then they openly admit to only liking white guys, which apparently is ok but it's not ok for white men to only like Asian girls. If we're gonna address WM being attracted to AF for their race, we should also do the same for the other way around.
that's something for Asian women to talk about. my sister has been married four times already to white men. she's now divorced again.
How is dating a fellow Asian like dating a brother? Lmao
Asians are so diverse from Uzbekistan to Turkey to the Philippines to Israel, all so different looking
My question to Asian girls is how do y’all feel about dating black guys. I’m talking like nerdy black guys who might be a little into anime/not really thuggish?
Lived in Japan for 3 years. Seems like the Japanese that like black guys seem to be into this thug rapper persona and they try to transform themselves into rap music video thots or something.
@@Euphoryaaa it's misconception by South East Asia, they think blacks are all the same but I'm sure you can win anyone over with some good conversation and self care.
The word 'fetish" is overused anyway. People tend to say a white man has a fetish when he's attracted to an Asian or black woman as if it's not natural for him to like other races of women more than liking a white woman. Basically, it's not a fetish but a preference or attraction.
This might be my favorite episode yet..

Love how you guys balance the sensitivities without offending in anyway. That's some stellar writing there that many bigger productions need to learn from!
Well, because they did that, it's not really an accurate representation of reality. For example, they did not include the White Fever Asian girls who only hang around whites and don't date Asian guys because they "look like their brother" and put down other Asian people for laughs and giggles from their only white friends. There are more of these types than the Korean girl and the SJW ginger shown in this video.

This is a great series. I grew up in upstate NY, where there is almost no Asian people. As a result I never saw myself dating a non Asian girl, as a way to preserve my culture. Eventually I moved to NYC and later the SF Bay area, and that didn't change. Eventually I ended up dating a black woman and haven't been happier. I never saw myself dating a black woman, but I guess God had other plans.
I was going to say come to Texas because in Dallas it isn't an issue. You'd would think the Texas was worse than the East or West coast but not from what I am hearing.
Yes, follow God's plans and you will be OK.

and arguably HEAVY HANDED in parts. This short show literally forces the tough conversations that are not being done in society. To do it on LITERAL, almost UNREAL exposition was a stroke of genius.

Ahhh such a strong observation on Male and Female Asian experiences, as well the role race plays in dating. Really great episode, Wong Fu!!! So sad it's going to end soon.
Stumbled upon this and really love the episode BUT he shouldn’t say that she’s not Asian. She’s Asian, she’s black and she mixed race... 🧐
Right? He was like this is the first non Asian I've dated and it's like umm but she half Japanese??? Everyone really subscribes to the one drop rule when it comes to black people. 😒😒
@@birdiewolf3497 right and the one drop rule is about white people keeping their purity but everyone else wants to act like black is some tainted shit
@jeremysev Meh im mixed. Cant choose a side because i dont look like any of them. So that only applies to some mixed people
She said she is proud of her black heritage so that’s what he acknowledges her for. I’m mixed but just cause I’m half Chinese I don’t expect people to acknowledge every single time
I know several Asians that are mixed...mixed as in half Japanese and half Korean or some other specific ethnic group of Asian. Most of them picked one 'side' and ran with it. It's usually pretty obvious why they chose to go with one over the other once you hear them talk about their upbringing and which parent might have had more influence....my point is that it should come down to her preference as far as which half she identifies with and he really shouldn't have made that comment to begin with.
I love this episode! The conversation about Asian men having a hard time dating sounds exactly the same as Black women.
BeepBop Boop so true. We’re the most open to anything but we’re never choose.
Why does eveyone have to bring black women into this? This video is clearly about the dating struggles of Asian people but somehow folks can't keep black women off their minds. Black women are the only group of people that everyone feels they can disrespect.
@@beepbopboop7727 Girl, don't take that racist proganda data seriously. In real life, an attractive woman gets her picks from numerous of men regardless of race. Those racist studies that say black women are the least desired is just a way to program black women to having low self-esteem/less competitive. It's also a way to contnue programing men from dating black women. Let's be clear, an attractive black woman that's fit and classy is a force to be reckoned with. Other races of women are not superior to black women but we are very unique competition for them. Part of white supremacy is to make the sheep believe that white women or women that look similar (Asians/Latinas/Biracials) are the standard of beauty. If black beauty is recognized more by other races of men then the game changes for other races of women. In a FAIR competition that's not corrupted with racial biases, other races of women could not compete with the unique beauty of black women. We are the polar oppostite of white women. So in the meantime, the white male patriarchy has rigged the game for his white women. Wake up!

Wow, I REALLY loved this episode. Especially how the writing handled some of the nuances that come with interracial dating (and there's just so many). I'm mostly commenting because I wanted to add in my two pennies , assuming there's other gaysians watching this series that left with some feelings unaddressed.
The sister's declaration of dating only asian guys because she was tired of being fetishized is something that I resonate so hard with because ohmygoodness are gay asian men fetishized the hell out of. It's exhausting. On the other side of the token, I started to get super critical of my streak of attraction to other Asian dudes because, similar to Andrew, I felt like it was borderline 'yellow fever' (or at least mellow fever).
It's taken me years of walking that intersection of being gay and Asian to accept that as a gay man, I'm able to love a variation of myself. And that's not a bad thing. Touching back on Simu's character's comments, I grew up with crude representations of Asian men that eventually translated/manifested into a lot of self-hate. So at 25, dating and being attracted to Asian guys is a unique position of being able to express a form of self-love through openly loving someone who is like me.
I only mention all this to reiterate why I found this episode so fascinating. To me, this heterosexual Asian perspective of dating within our race as sort of ordinary (reflected in Brad's comments on the ofscreen Asian Guy/White Girl couple) is interesting. Because from my Gaysian perspective, I think -- in context of the portrayal of Asian men that apparently many of us grew up with -- Asian guys dating other Asian guys is kind of defiant. Radical even. And kinda hot (but maybe that's just me).
This is the first video in a long time that's stirred up these kind of thoughts in me. And I'm really thankful that this particular episode finally helped me articulate them a little more clearly, to the point of typing out this long ass comment. Thank you, Wong Fu team.
(I feel like this all made sense. But maybe I'm just projecting. If I'm totally misinformed, please downvote my comment so that it can be hidden into oblivion.)
I love how uncomfortable and honest this got. It's such a messy, touchy subject, and it's so refreshing to see it all laid out there.
It's endlessly frustrating, because if people see you as white (as in, you're passing), when you express interest in others outside of your race, some will immediately think it's some sort of fetish, which is honestly gross. I'm Latina mixed and I've always been attracted to men with certain features, which includes a lot of Asian men. I feel at this point, if I end up with an Asian guy, some people are going to confirm their assumption. But if I don't, then they will STILL confirm their assumption, as in "Oh, you won't even seriously date them."
I just feel that you can't win either way. So perhaps people should just date who they're honestly interested in and try not to worry about it so much, as long as you yourself know that you love them for the right reasons.
Hoop Monster I completely agree with you. Im like you. I think like you said all that matters is you know you love them for the right reasons.

RageElixir rage elixir watching wong fu, thats new😂
I love how open ended this series is, it's not like there's a right or wrong decision, but more so have the choice of seeing how multiple personalities could view one certain circumstances, please keep it up Wong Fu
I'm so obsessed with this series because of the humor and how relatable this is, Great work!
This series is so good. I want it to never end!!!
Why can't the Blasian girl say she's Asian? It's not a lie... do y'all gatekeep that heavy?
That’s what I was thinking.
Maybe don't assume bad intent straight out of the gate. They missed a trick about discussing mixed-ness here, that's true, but the video wasn't about that.
@Zhou Xi The problack community? You mean hotep bammas? Yeah, most black people do not fall into that category.
@Natasel "And act the part. Last I checked, the typical black woman would rather pull teeth that be a nice Asian girl who serves tea, speaks softly, cooks and stand BEHIND her man."
WTF are you talking about?
We simply serve sweet tea instead. I don't know many black women who don't cook for their families. Black women are constantly standing behind their men whether they be trash or actually deserving.
How often do "nice Asian girls" even come into contact with a bunch of black women to have anyone be at odds with one another?
The average US born Asian girl that I've been running into is not the old stereotype that you're perpetuating on here any way. Speaks softly LOL ok
@Natasel Failed? Who doesn't like sweet tea? Whatever sucka.
Also, the first line was a joke but I am seriously pointing out that some sort of black girl asian girl hate is not a prevalent thing. Most of us aren't even in situations where we'd have to think about one another let alone running into a bunch of demure Asian women doing tea ceremonies to bother hating on.
This was by far my most favourite episode, all of the ones before were funny but this really hit home for me. Thanks for making thoughtful content, Wong Fu.
I LOVE THIS SERIESS!!!!!
Me here in Brazil thinking... ''how they can be so light, intelligent and acid in their lines and be not artificial.''
Is just so good and authentic.
Brad's "Who's gonna believe that!" line was gold. Glad to see the series incorporating and fleshing out all the different characters. Makes all of them fun and more relatable.
I am so happy that YT suggested this. I am officially hooked just from this episode. It is fun and has depth. Good job! And please keep creating!
this was absolutely brilliant.... you conveyed the very real questions that I, as an asian-american, ask very often within the context of our society! thank you for telling stories like this that make me feel like i'm not alone!
wowwww this episode was my favorite so far!! so many words that ive wanted to say for a long time but couldnt find the correct words to explain!!
I can not put my love for this series into words. Thank you guys for portraying everything so perfectly and addressing things that aren't exactly discussed as much. (especially not so personally and specifically) sending all the love your way:)
Finally someone said Salvadorian on any type of social media, you really don’t here that term. Thank you Wong Fu!! 👏🏾 🇸🇻
@Jose Moran but y'all got pupusas!!! As a blasian I gotta say that shit is AMAZING
I'm 4 episodes in and i'm loving this entire channel man. I've been on here for hours. And your Videography is so professional and movie like. And your character is so easy to get attached too. I don't often subscribe to channels but I can't wait to see what you do next. Getting some great insights on Asian culture.
Yippie has been such an amazing show. It highlights many important issues there is often overlooked. Really hope for more episodes!
I absolutely adore this sereis and it's relevance in today's society. It's so refreshing to finally have a show touches on topics that sadly I dont feel have ever been discussed to this extent in the media. Wong Fu understands that if you want something done, sometimes you have to do it yourself and I'm completely here for it. I love the execution of it, nothing seems forced but rather brought to your attention to acknowledge. Keep it up!
Now that I understand how to watch Yappie I enjoy it so much now. I was expecting a traditional web series narrative but this is more of a cultural analysis through a web series format and I love the perspective.
Peaches and Cream is considered a “throwback” now?!?!?
I need to re-evaluate my life
cgsoldier4196 dude tell me about it. It hurt to write these lines 🤣
Phil, T-pain's stuff are throwbacks now.
I didn’t even know what they were talking about lol
R. E. saaame
Bruh that song came out 17 years ago lmao
Wong Fu you all outdid yourselves, enjoyed every second of it.
I like everything about this series, the message, the acting, the quality, the hair and makeup being realistic it's amazing
The writing this episode was really good.
I clicked on that notification SO FAST
not ready for it to be over 😭😭
I think this has been my favorite episode out of the 4 so far. It is so interesting to see these topics on display in this format. They are things that I have never thought about this deeply as an Asian American myself. While there is SO much to unpack here, it is a very important topic to discuss and something I wish more people were aware of. The message is so powerful. Camera work is amazing as always. I felt some of the script was a little forced, but understandable since this is a short series. Overall I loved it. I hope this reaches more people.
okay i loved this episode
I really love this serie , because I've always been intrested(wanted to understand more) in Asians in the world specially asians americans , my best friend is a european Asian so I've scene racism and all of those stuff where I live. But thanks to you and your channel I can see more and it helps me undertsanding so much things about life! Thanks for everything and sorry if my comment is messy or anythings , I'm not good at expressing :^) , Can't wait for more !!! Greets from France
Thank you for sharing a fun and very insightful video with us! It's great to see y'all starting the conversation on various topics regarding race, sex, etc. that really need to be talked about. I appreciate this episode, and this entire series a lot, and I can't wait for the next one! :)
Yes Finally!!
This is definitely one of the most important shows ever released for Asian Americans. I love that Wong Fu and all the collaborators are using their talents to try and make a change in our communities. Not only is the whole production awesome, but the mission and goal of the show are both very meaningful. Really really good job keep it up!
I love how Phil’s acting has gotten way better over the course of these long years Wong fu fo lyfe
Brad was amazing in this episode! The material really gave him the chance to shine! 🙌🏼
I’m in an Interracial relationship and I always forget lmao I think people who aren’t very diverse with their surroundings are the ones who find it complicated.
depends where you live. If that Asian man is deep into his Asian community and has few or no friends of other races, things can get complicated because other Asians butt into your relationship
Seems kinda ironic that it's "ok" for the Asian girl at the bar to say she's not into white guys with no repercussions but it's "unreasonable" for the white guy at the bar to not be into Asian girls?? Double standard wuuuuh
On another note I loved the ending scene- perfect example of open honest convo :)
I was waiting for the white guy to bring it up when the asian girl got offended but it never happened.
asian women get a free pass on everything.
I think that was the joke
@@atriangle3647 yup lol but mostly girls dating with white or black really look like girls asian guys dont like... They also could have been the shooters in the school without dicks of white nerds.
agree, it shouldn't be OK regardless
very nice episode. This is actually what me and my friends talk about all the time . The lines are so bold and sincere and straight to the point. I'm living in Shanghai and in terms of dating it's not only wild but...You guys should do an episode here
I love how you guys blend serious topics into the story ❤😊
Fantastic Episode! The bar banter was hilarious too!
It's been a while since I've watched something that had me grinning from start to finish. And your videos do so, everytime. 😊
I love that I can relate even being a different race (Samoan). Growing up I felt a lot at times that guys only liked me in high school solely because they always wanted to know what it would be like to be with a polynesian girl just because.
Same for black women 😪 our complexion and hair.. never our character or interest
the scene with melody and the white guy at the bar is so incredibly written and acted out,, props to the screenwriter and the actors
I am so glad this found it's way onto my suggested feed.
I loved this truly, well done and keep up the awesome work!!
-cheers
Ugh that ending, these two are so cute!
It's okay to be mixed... Just sayin. She's not black, just as much as she's not Japanese. She's both. And that's okay
Tuncs Alive369 yea I’m like, “isn’t she mixed”?
@@TheDejesius I can only imagine her Japanese side like "am I a joke to you?"
It's ok to acknowledge that she's socially perceived as and treated as black. Do you think any dude with yellow fever will bother her?
I've seen attractive ppl in all races. If our personalities click and you're good looking enough, we'll date. I grew up in a mostly hispanic area, and that's the way I see dating at least.
These guys deserve more for all the hard work and effort they put in- good job👍🤗
This episode was AMAZING. You guys properly hashed out the extremely real issues of interracial attraction and dating and also the human tendencies that we get up to when we date people that share our ethnicity and those that don't.
Such a sensitive topic. Such an AMAZING episode 🙌🏿
I've been noticing that a lot of young Asian Americans interests align more with Black Americans, and I think that's beautiful! We've never really intermingled, and I find it interesting that music and dance is what's bringing us together. *The POWER of the slow jam* 😆💯💕
Side note.. I've recently discovered my attraction to Asian men (and women), and it makes me very confused bcuz I don't want it to be offensive. I'm definitely more focused on personality, but I feel like Asian ppl are raised in a culture that creates a personality type I deeply connect with and enjoy.
And also they're super frikkin cute! *AND THAT'S NOT MY FAULT* #ThanksLA 😆👌🏿
Absolutely love this series! It's weird to finally feel represented lol #BlasianPride!
"I'll send you her LinkedIn" - my fav line in this episode
I think it's really interesting how I can relate to some of this as someone younger than most of the characters, but also completely not relate to some of this because I'm in a different generation and grew up in different circumstances. I grew up/still live in a pretty diverse area (~50% POC) where the kinds of POC (mainly black, latinx, and asian) are evenly spread, percentage-wise. So no one bats an eye if a black guy gets together with a latina girl or an asian girl gets together with a latino guy, or if an asian girl gets together with a white girl, etc. Everything about my town is essentially average except the fact we're very diverse and live in harmony w/o a ton of racial tension. and I consider myself enormously lucky for that.
Anyway thank you so so much for making this series! It's funny and it's also making people think and I appreciate it so much. On to the last episode!
date your own kind
After all the social issues that were brought up, I felt like message you were trying to portray really shone through at the the end. You created such a tender and real moment of what it means to accept someone: seeing them for who they are as a whole, including their cultural background.
