i'm not asian but I understand them so well. i'm half italian and half african. when I was a kid people would aks me where I was from and I would answer I'm Swiss and then they would ask me no where are you really from... i never understood why they wanted to know where I was really from because I consider myself Swiss. It's not that I'm not proud about my roots it's that I grew up in Switzerland and that's the country that influenced me. I want to say to all people with mixed nationalitys and backgrounds be proud of it and even if it doesn't seem like it there will always be people who support you and accept you for who you are :)
GREAT video! I teach in a predominately Black and Hispanic neighborhood where "Asian American and Pacific Islander" is limited to orange chicken, kung fu, and China. We had a discussion on stereotypes, and after this video played, students followed up with a bunch of clarifying (and informed) questions about culture, race, etc.!
I knew he's filipino because his parents have the filipino values of "as long as we are eating we are okay and parents would eat less for their children..."
Unfortunately I don't know any Asians personally, but I would like to become more acquainted with them. They have always aroused my curiosity as well as other ethnic groups. And yes, I was one of those that had the impression that most Asians were good in math. I think many people like myself look at Asians as highly educated people. But I am beginning to learn that is not the case with all Asians. So I would be more than happy if you shared more of your life experiences with me. I also realized many of your struggles are similar to what African-Americans go through in America.
I've always wanted to change the way people see Asians because I see what they're capable of but I've been doing it the wrong way so I'm gonna start trying to make a change😊
I always identified as only Cambodian/Khmer because I used to think the term American was only allowed for whites until I realized people can be American of any ethnicity. Ultimately, Asians are so diversified, you cannot define or lump us into one category.
your videos are always very wonderful.. but perhaps this video is preaching to the choir.. I'm watching this video thinking.. "well.. obviously.. they're not the same.. why would anyone think that?" but I'm saying that living in Koreantown and having 2 Chinese roommates and having a plethora of Asian friends of various ethnicities.. I have post-its of kanji on my wall and just ate kimchi for dinner.. I embrace Asian culture so much that some people have literally thought that I was Asian (I'm Colombian) .. which I guess illustrates the point of this video and answers my own question (why would anyone think we are the same? answer: because it's easier for some to label it that way) .. but if some people out there can't even distinguish a hispanic person from an asian person.. it seems like those are the sorts of people you would want to watch this video in order to gain a greater perspective of the various cultures that inhabit this planet.. so the success of this or any other campaign could then be quantified by measuring the number of people whose perspectives actually did become greater by direct or indirect result of said campaign.. and to that end.. i hope everyone gains a greater perspective of all other cultures out there.. and I suppose it all begins by simply listening to the stories of others.. so I can't wait until the next story time :D
Being blasian i understand. They always hit me with the "youre too dark to be half asian" half japanese half black. I identify as japanese my family believes that whatever race the mother is is the race that their child will be and just because my skin is darker will not change my mind.
Why do Pacific Islanders always get grouped with Asians? We have a very different culture from Asian culture. Asian migration to the Pacific Islands is increasing, but as Pacific Islanders, we don't relate in many ways with the Asian arrivals. There is influence because of these migrations, but we resent when the migrants don't adapt to the island culture. There is much conflict.
Agreed, as a Maori I can relate. We already struggle with what we have, Europeans have taken so much and they're just giving it away. Weird how people think we're like Asians as if we're not our own people, have our own cultures?
It's become all about the CLASS CARD and NOT the race card. As an Indian person, I get super pissed when people think that your chances of getting hired is better when someone with the same nationality as you works as a manager, business owner, executive, administrator and all that. But the truth is that even higher income people from your own nationality and my own nationality DON'T want to hire lower income people like us. So these non-Asians around the world have NO clue at all how the world is really working.

So inspirational. Proud to be who you are and where you come from.

i think its just because these islands geographically belong to the continent asia (:
16keiko no Pacific Island country is in Asia. Majority of the islands are in the middle of the Pacific.
Agreed, as a Maori I can relate. We already struggle with what we have, Europeans have taken so much and they're just giving it away. Weird how people think we're like Asians as if we're not our own people, have our own cultures?
Is this ur main takeaway

I would believe #NotTheSame if this sentiment also applied to white people.
Great, more PC BS. Do you really need this video to make you feel special?
this is a joke lmao
