I love how she isn't here for any of that. You say your country doesn't have enough room? Well my house has plenty of extra room, you need a place to stay? Just SAVAGE
Andrew, you have such a wonderful mom! I'm glad you had the balls to post this and stand up to these ignorant commenters. I'm glad to have you as a fellow Canadian! :D
Jeeze, people can be so terrible! Your mom seems like a real sweetheart. She's right, Asian or Canadian or whatever, we're all human. We should treat each other with respect. And seriously, awesome mom is awesome.
I am so sorry for so many ignorant people , Good for you , for standing up and putting a humorous spin on it , So people can see how dumb it really is .. The worst part is If they took the time to know the people they are commenting about , They might find common ground and make new friends instead of Hurt feelings ..
I had never heard of you before this video, which I discovered because Hank green shared it on tumblr! And I'm glad he did, because you seem awesome, and your mom is pretty epic & amazing! I'm sorry people say such hateful things. Thanks to both of you for your example of compassion and grace for people who say such awful things. I hope you know your work is appreciated and you are too! I am now a subscriber to your channel & look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Disgusting people I can't believe how someone can be like that so racist and ignorant, that makes me so mad. I love your mom she so adorable. Good for you!! I love you man you are the best.
I did NOT want to click on this video because I knew it would painful. I will never know the struggle of being judged for the color of my skin or for the background of my heritage, but forcing myself to sit through these painful, disgusting words is important, because doing so acts as more fuel for never having an excuse to not call out racist behavior when I witness it. It was so gross watching this video, seeing and hearing such abhorrent words, but thank fluffy bunnies it ended with a mom-hug and a smile!!
Good job, dealing with these comments head on. Unfortunately most people who leave the hate comments will never see the error in their behaviour. By the way your mom is awesome in this video.
Kuddos to your mom for doing this. She is a beautiful woman. I recently had an incident of 'cyber bullying' on Reddit. I actually confronted the group with love and the result was incredible. Many in the group apologized. Your mom has the right attitude. Very peaceful. Namaste.
Your mom's such a sweet lady. I feel so sad she had to read all that! Her change of expression after reading them all, well it just broke my heart ;A; please give her another hug from me!
Hey! I'm catching up with your videos and this made me so sad. You are such a talented content creator and you deserve so much better. Your mother is precious.
Your mom is a star. I love how incredibly kind and level headed she was in her reactions. Your sweet and wise mom made me smile, but those comments truly made me cry. It breaks my heart that racism and hate are so normalized. Thanks for making this, Andrew. You packaged a really ugly topic into something that calls out the ugliness and calls the people higher. I'll definitely be sharing this video!
1. I love your mother she is adorable and is taking it way better then my mom or I would to being called anything because we are apsnish and 2. Forget them. They have no idea who you are and who your family are and what you have seen or what you have had to do in order to be who you are today. It dosnt matter if it was easy on your family or if it was hard on your family. They have no right to say any of that to you. Yes freedom of speech but really? If you can't be an adult about something in life or the Internet then why be around anyone or why be on the internet. Treat people as you want to be treated, that's all I'm trying to say.
Canada is proud to have you and your mom! I love your mom, she sounds so kind and wise! And your song at the end sounds great as well so I found it and favorited it!
Really, reeeeally great way of addressing this issue. Your moms a genius, especially when she said, all Canadians are immigrants because it was the native people who were there first. Sick analysis! So sorry you have to face such hateful comments. Great video!
omg how did i miss this in my subs?! your mom's so sassy i love it. and i kind of expected there to be an accent*, but the way she speaks is very nice and clear, i respect that. *-inb4 people calling me racist; she does have an accent actually-
People who leave nonconstructive, negative comments aiming to hurt or belittle someone is a person that carries a lot of hate for themselves; you just have to pity these lost souls! You are a super fellow and your Mom tops the list on sweet people! I am glad you are calling these sad people out for their destructive behavior.
Great video! You have an awesome mom and attitude against such hateful speech. Of course people should learn that there are human rights freedoms granted to everyone in any country, that certain "hate speech" if targeting a group can lead to criminal charges against person committing such speech and need to know that if the world did not mingle, we could be lacking in so much of the things we take for granted in life. I don't like people who are so narrow minded and accepting of differences.
Aww Your mom is so sweet. And I think this video was really powerful too. People write awful racist things behind their keyboards and I hope seeing that real people read and are affected by these words makes it more real for them. (And especially seeing such a sweet lady reading them!). :)
So many feelings watching this video. Your Mum is an amazing, beautiful person, and SO hilarious.Unfortunately it doesn't shock me, but it breaks my heart hearing the filth that you get said to/about you. Hopefully it will embarrass some of the commenters enough to help them examine and change their shitty behaviour, but I'm cynical and not holding my breath. "You don't remember?" "We were eating at Dennys!" She is perfect, and the cutest : D The hug at the end!
Yyyesss.....Put those racists on BLAST! Those comments were beyond rude and so ignorant. That comment at 2:31 says ssoooo much about the importance of representation in main stream media. If there was more images of North American Asians on tv and movies there would not be such an issue. Hence why UA-cam has been a great avenue for many people of color who can create content for a much wider audience. On another note...your mom's warm and obvious kindness really shines. Keep doing you boo!
+IC Henry Exactly! We have to take away their echo chamber so that they realize they can't say racist, hateful speech and comments without consequence. The internet of the past made it much easier to say it and have it not be called out. However social media is a thing of beauty to get discussions going like black lives matter, unfair and lovely, whitewashedout, curryscentedbitch (currently happening after Azealia Banks used this racist insult in a tweet aimed at Zayn Malik) and to call out the BS.
Your mother is wonderful. What a contrast between the hateful people who leave these sorts of comments and the warmth and kindness radiating from your mother. This video was simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming.
I came here because this video was posted on aplusk's page. I think your mom is awesome and still can't believe those people spreading hate into the world. Regards from Argentina! :)
Wow... The character of a person is measured how they treat people who can't do much about it. In my younger days, I was taught never to call anyone (mean) names. Then you had to back up the insults, no internet to hide behind. You deliver education with humor. I still love that Rob Ford video.
I'm sorry that you receive racist bullshit comments. Your mum was so adorable! Loved the message of this video. I wish there was more (non-stereotypical) representation of Asians in media. So sick of the whitewashing.
that was great! i too have a hard time understanding what people really get out of leaving those comments - much less having those feelings. hearing your mom read them makes them seem even more ridiculous.
When I first saw your video, "Canadian Please", I was so happy to see you in it. Yeah, this is Canadian, we live multiculturally! I'm so sorry you received such disgusting comments. Their comments reflect their disgusting selves. 😓 I love your mom!❤
I'm so sorry that people say and believe such horrible things! I love your content and I think your mom is absolutely awesome! Yes: we're all people, let's be nice to each other!
you are amazing, thank you so much. people really do need to learn about racism and how it affects people all around us. I could never thank you enough. 😊
This came up with a friend the other day, they were wondering is there an appropriate response to a stranger being "casually" racist. Got me thinking about the fact we refer to racism as casual, sometimes. Like how did we get so comfortable with it that now we do it casually?
This video is so, so good. Sorry you receive so many horrible comments. Your mother is awesome.
Your mom is 😎
I love how she isn't here for any of that. You say your country doesn't have enough room? Well my house has plenty of extra room, you need a place to stay? Just SAVAGE
"You don't have enough room? I don't stay in your house."
Simple, but powerful. I love so many things about this video. Keep doing you Andrew.
"I have extra room in my house." SICK BURN.
Oh my gosh she's so sweet! Preach!
Your mom laying down that history tho. "If you don't remember..." *sips tea*
"I have extra room, do you want to stay in my home? You can." Lol love your mom!!!
Mommarolla tugging at my heartstrings once again
"I really don't know what that means but I love pancakes"
Mamarolla dropping some truth bombs.
I love mommarolla!
+colleen JAY BACK OFF, SHE'S TAKEN
:( can come onnnn! Can she at least be my auntie?
Andrew, you have such a wonderful mom! I'm glad you had the balls to post this and stand up to these ignorant commenters. I'm glad to have you as a fellow Canadian! :D

The worst part is If they took the time to know the people they are commenting about , They might find common ground and make new friends instead of Hurt feelings ..
I loved this so much your mother is my favourite.
+Ava Gordy ok but what if she tried to pick you up from school dressed as Beetlejuice
+gunnarolla HAS SHE?? OMG That's the best
oh my god what a beautiful opening. "I think everyone eats rice - if you don't eat rice, maybe you should learn."
I had never heard of you before this video, which I discovered because Hank green shared it on tumblr! And I'm glad he did, because you seem awesome, and your mom is pretty epic & amazing!

Your mom is the purest human ever
Good job, dealing with these comments head on. Unfortunately most people who leave the hate comments will never see the error in their behaviour. By the way your mom is awesome in this video.
I almost feel like the words are on me and it hurts... You are a very talented and sweet person, wish you the best.
Thanks, Kathy!
subscribed for your mom bro, really sucks that people still think this way in 2016

Such an important video, also your mom is always the cutest!
why do people have to be so damn rude... everyone should just love love love... we love you!
Your Mom is awesome.
Amanda? Woah! Didn't think you would be here! ^-^
Supporting fellow Canadian creators!
Wooo! Us Canadians are the best!
Ye, we gotta let the world know we exist too :3
Your mom is so cool. Bless her.
This is just brilliant!
Your mom is a star. I love how incredibly kind and level headed she was in her reactions.

Those comments were horrifying. I'm so sorry you received such vitriol. Thanks for this video.

+ilikealison LOVED IT!

Great (and important) video, Andrew. Your mom is a gem!
Your mom is so wonderful. Great message at the end of the video.
Revisiting this video because your mom is an inspiration and she has an ability to slay haters while also being polite to them. 10/10 mom points
I love your mom, she sounds so kind. "We are all people" - Mommarolla 2016
Your mom's response to the "we don't have any more room" comment was priceless.
Canada is proud to have you and your mom! I love your mom, she sounds so kind and wise!
And your song at the end sounds great as well so I found it and favorited it!
Ohhhh your mum is so sweet. What intelligent and gracious responses.
Really, reeeeally great way of addressing this issue. Your moms a genius, especially when she said, all Canadians are immigrants because it was the native people who were there first. Sick analysis! So sorry you have to face such hateful comments. Great video!

This made me so sad and so happy at the same time. Your mom is the best.
I love how you're standing up against Asian discrimination, keep up the good work Andrew!
Aww Your mom is so sweet. And I think this video was really powerful too. People write awful racist things behind their keyboards and I hope seeing that real people read and are affected by these words makes it more real for them. (And especially seeing such a sweet lady reading them!). :)
Your mom is so sweet! You are a lucky man to have such a great mom! :)
your mom is a great person. I hope the best for you and your family 😊
Thank you for this. Your response is wonderful and a true reflection of what we should aspire to be as Canadians.
i just had to post that your mom is so sweet..reminds me so much of my po po...am so darn proud that i had a singaporean grand mother
What a lovely lady. She raised you well.
YOUR MOM IS THE COOLEST. This is so great. I hope this video gets a million views. It's so damn good. Good job bud
I love this. Well said, well done. Your mom is a treasure. 💜
Your mother is a precious gift.
oh my god your Mother ROCKS!!! I hope she is on more of your videos! she seriously made my day God Bless!
So many feelings watching this video. Your Mum is an amazing, beautiful person, and SO hilarious.Unfortunately it doesn't shock me, but it breaks my heart hearing the filth that you get said to/about you. Hopefully it will embarrass some of the commenters enough to help them examine and change their shitty behaviour, but I'm cynical and not holding my breath.
"You don't remember?" "We were eating at Dennys!" She is perfect, and the cutest : D The hug at the end!
Another great video Gunnarolla! You're brilliant to deal with these comments this way. Good on you! #proudcanadian

This need to be posted at the right place. Good work! Good content
Your mom should be your regular sidekick, she is pure genius! hilarious!
Your mom is the best. Getting angry at racism is a perfectly valid response but I like how kind she was with her answers.
Your mother is wonderful. What a contrast between the hateful people who leave these sorts of comments and the warmth and kindness radiating from your mother. This video was simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming.
I came here because this video was posted on aplusk's page. I think your mom is awesome and still can't believe those people spreading hate into the world.
Regards from Argentina! :)
You and your mom are maple flavoured awesome! What a delight to come across your videos. Love your work keep it going!
Wow... The character of a person is measured how they treat people who can't do much about it. In my younger days, I was taught never to call anyone (mean) names. Then you had to back up the insults, no internet to hide behind. You deliver education with humor.
I still love that Rob Ford video.
Mommarolla speaking the truth and throwing that shade! Love that your mother is so open to doing these things with you. :)
I'm sorry that you receive racist bullshit comments. Your mum was so adorable! Loved the message of this video.
I wish there was more (non-stereotypical) representation of Asians in media. So sick of the whitewashing.
Momarolla is the best! It amazes me how sweet, kind and funny she was in response to some absolutely terrible things! She deserves all the pancakes!
I dont know why UA-cam sent me this video..I just named an Asian American guy as the most attractive guy out there next to Justin Trudeau.
Im sorry you have had anyone send you these kind of insults. My best wishes for your mother.
Your mother is so precious.
your mother is awesome to go along with your video idea. keep the great videos coming
more people need to see this. i still can't believe you haven't hit 100k subbies...
Your mum is so lovely :) Good on you for making this video.
I sooo love this thank you for being awesome!!
Hahaha this is so funny. You've gotta own your haters, and you did it with this one 👊
If I ever need a room when I'm in Canada I love to stay at your moms. She and you are awesome!
Man, you are seriously the best. No wonder with a cool mother like that.
that was great! i too have a hard time understanding what people really get out of leaving those comments - much less having those feelings. hearing your mom read them makes them seem even more ridiculous.
This is actually so lovely like your mom is awesome. "I don't stay in your house" is such a great response.
You and your mom rock!
Just.Be.Better
Glad to call you fellow Canadians!
you and your mom are both awesome! I'm proud to be your fellow Canadian :)
People are so ignorant, I'm so sorry, bby.
When I first saw your video, "Canadian Please", I was so happy to see you in it. Yeah, this is Canadian, we live multiculturally! I'm so sorry you received such disgusting comments. Their comments reflect their disgusting selves. 😓
I love your mom!❤
Your mum is awesome :D
your mom, dude... your awesome, sweet, amazing mother. give her a big, BIG bear hug from me for this.
You are so well spoken with such a fantastic clear voice - this video was wonderful... Your mum is adorable too BTW 💙💙💙💙
I love your mom so much, shes so nice!
I mean I love all your videos, but I will admit that your Mom videos are my favourite :)
Fried rice and Denny's are my guilty pleasures
+mintjaan omg meee tooo though
All of that and Darry Queen
I've never had Denny's before :( Are there any in Toronto?
There is one now, near Dundas and Bay!
Wow I just didn't know you'd get so much racist comments... thank you for this
I'm so sorry that people say and believe such horrible things! I love your content and I think your mom is absolutely awesome! Yes: we're all people, let's be nice to each other!
SO MUCH YES!!! Also your mom is adorable! 😁
you are amazing, thank you so much. people really do need to learn about racism and how it affects people all around us. I could never thank you enough. 😊
