I appreciate the older lady bringing up that its not just prejudice against foreigners or someone of a different nationality. There is an extra stigma if you are black. I rarely hear Koreans or others from East Asia admit this. Its important to highlight the unique experience of being Blasian.
Yes many people try to defend the racism by saying it’s all xenophobia and whites get discriminated too, but it’s only true to a degree. Whites are generally treated better
@@hondagirl2001hmmm I don’t know about your statement being definitive. The roots of colourism in east Asian countries mostly come from an idea of white=purity, as this is a value that has pervaded through history… and in the past East Asian people were not in contact with darker people in order to create prejudiced opinions which would affect colourism. However again, there are people who are racist and colourist as a result of modern society and globalisation… allowing for contact with darker coloured people along with ‘culture’ which encouraged racism in Asian countries. But it would be wrong to say colourism cant exist without racism
Yes it's why even though my mom's family accepted my Mom and Dad being together, My mom still decided to leave Korea with my Dad and not raise us there! I didn't understand it as a youngster why she chose to keep us far away from the place I was born, until I got older and I started to peep stuff out and then I started to realize it for myself. It's why even though I love Korea and the culture I really don't full with Koreans outside my family members. I would see for myself how white and Korean kids really wouldn't get the same negative energy that black and Korean kids would get, and if the more Korean and lighter you were then the easier you would have it. Because I've seen kids of lighter skinned Black people have kids with Koreans and not really get much aggression, but for those of us who visibly look different, it was hatred all day, even here in the USA. And I just never felt accepted by Korean people like that except by my own family. Which is crazy because my great grandma and grandma loved me! And I always understood this! I have so many pictures showing how much they loved me! Not just in private but also in public! But Korean people can be real ignorant like that. It way better than it used to be, but it needs to be much better!
I hope that they would take aspiration and inspiration from Nicol David, the former Malaysian world record holder champion for female squash which is the daughter of Desmond David (Malaysian Indian) and Ann Marie David (Malaysian Chinese). All the best
The mother is right antiblackness is a global issue that’s everywhere, but it’s not black ppls ‘problem to fix’ when we didn’t create antiblackness or racism.
Agreed. I was irked by it. Every child needs support when it comes to bullying or racism . I am worried considering she said it's her problem to deal with it when it's not. As parents you are responsible for her and need to help , support, acknowledge her struggles and her issues .
@@plutoprincess777 Lets hope and I hope he as a parent discusses about it with his wife and informs her what is wrong with her thinking and the possible repercussions that could arise from it .
@@milkycider she has Asian eyes and that's it... She doesn't have the same nose she doesn't have the same jawline doesn't have the same face that's not the same ears and she doesn't have the same hair... And she looks absolutely nothing like her father...
@@Lilith-cosplay-world I'm sorry but why do you care what other people say you have your own eyes you can see just like everybody else you can come to your own conclusions and the child literally looks nothing like mother.... People always do stuff like that in the comments section child won't even be theirs and they'll scream out twins 🤡 You literally put any Asian woman next to that child and everybody would say they're the mother just because the child has Asiatic eyes... And that is literally where the similarities between the two start end in begin and stop If you see differently than great but they look nothing alike to me
@@NerdySodaLP I used to deliver chips to his store. Then one day he said his daughter was coming to visit him . She was there one day when I was delivering chips.
I really enjoyed listening to the young woman. She could tell they were mother and daughter because of their interaction, and she explained to the mom that her mixed-race friends have had traumatic experiences because of racism. I hope the mom changes her mind about helping her child through racism. It's definitely her (and the dad's) responsibility to talk their daughter about racism, to help her understand that people can be fearful and hateful towards differences, but it is not her fault and she doesn't need to change anything about herself. I live in the U.S. and as she said, we have a lot more diversity here, but we still have racism. Parents here (myself included) would never say that it is the responsibility of a child to just get through racism on their own.
Yes, I agree. Don’t just leave her out there by herself to figure it out. I hate this new way of thinking where some believe you should let the child raise themselves. Because kids in school can be cruel and brutal about sharing their thoughts. Also, that’s interesting that Asian people can’t see that they are mother and daughter, I could tell they were right off because of their looks/ the physical.
She said the daughter will have to go through accepting that she looks different than the other teenage girls and basically how to be fine with that. She never mentioned that in the context of racism
I think the language barrier misinterpreted what she said, I think what she meant is, “my daughter will get through it.” Not that she will have to do it on her own
@@denissealdana7816 For the child's sake, I was hoping it was a translation issue. But it was said several times and from the rest of her conversation, mom seems to be clueless.
a very small detail i really appreciate is when bomi was shy and didn't want to give one of the younger women a hug, her mom didn't force her and instead gave her an alternate way to say hi with a high five. that's a really small thing that teaches kids their comfort matters, especially with physical touch with others, and a lot of parents don't do that kind of thing. i know of so many people who's parents would force them to hug people they weren't comfortable hugging, or punish them for not showing affection in a specific way. it was really nice to see bomi's mom respect her daughter's boundaries like that. it was also really cool that she suggested a high five instead, because lots of times kids want to express affection, just not in that specific way, so her giving her daughter another way that was more comfortable was really nice.
@niconico_nya Thank you so much for saying this. I grew up like that and it had serious repercussions for me as an adult with the mentality that I don't have a choice.
I was thinking she shouldn't have told her daughter to hug a stranger in the first place. Some kids will just feel obliged. But I appreciated that the girl kind of inherently recognized the "stranger danger" in the hug and stood her ground in her own little way until she decided the hi five was acceptable. And yes, it was good that her mother didn't pressure her any further.
The mom's comments about the future are sort of sad. She is living in the bubble that people are more accepting, even while someone is telling her about second hand experiences. Bullying happens whether someone is Korean, poor, unpopular, etc. But, it happens worse when you're Black no matter if you're mixed-race or not. I hope she sees what the girl was telling her and better prepare her daughter for that. For now, I'm glad that her daughter is happy and healthy.
yes, I agree. I was hoping someone else noticed that. Though I still think she's a good mom, she's a bit ignorant of what Black/darker skinned ppl go thru in Korean society. I do agree with all the points she brought up, but I believe as a mother of a mixed race child, it is her responsibility (as well as the fathers) to teach their daughter about the realities of living in Korea as a mixed race person. she chose to have a child with a Black person, so that means she needs to accept all the aspects of having a mixed child, including the racism they'll have to deal with in the future (cuz its inevitable.) Bomi should be able to come to either of her parents and ask about how/why she's different from others, and get an answer, not a "u have to figure it out urself." her mom prolly wont say it like that, but she is implying it in the vid.
yes, I totally agree. Kids will be bullied for every little thing, but Bomi being half black in a place like Korea the bulling will be even worse. I personally didn't like the mothers notion of when she faces racism and feelings of otherness it will be a her problem thing, and not her( the mother and fathers) job to help and build up confidence and strength to deal with prejudice. The child did not asked to be born and the mother new what could happen by having kids outside her race especially with a black man. When Korea is very anti-black/ any darkskin. Them as parents should be taking the active efforts to prepare their child for the outside world and their views and show her how to deal with them. Instead of thinking or hoping the world is a better place or she will not go through those things purely because you wish it so.
Exactly. And I find it highly problematic that the mom has this mindset that she’s not going to approach the situation with “youre different” like there’s nothing wrong with being different. Telling your visually biracial child that she’s just like other Koreans and she blends in is just setting her up. People will stare, people will ask questions not to mention at SOME point her daughter will deal with the insecuirty of her skin color and hair not being like everybody else’s. you can’t just ignore this part of her identity and just be like “well, I’m Korean and she’s half of me so she’s Korean” the world is not going to see or treat her that way. It is her responsibility as a parent to prepare her daughter for that. This is why i hate when black men procreate with non black women bc they leave all the responsibility of making sure the child is secure in their blackness to the NON-black mom.
I hope they connect with older Black and Korean mixed people so that she can directly learn from their experiences and use that to guide her daughter. It's also very important that she is in community with Black people, whether they're relatives or family friends so thay she can feel pride in all aspects of her heritage. Also hope that the mom realizes she can't just expect her daughter to face everything on her own.... she needs to advocate for her.... that makes me feel a bit nervous for the child...
It really nice to see that the younger generations are open minded and they are aware of the evolution of the world. Also the eldest seems understanding and tries to be nice so it really nice too. I really like your videos , well done!
Yeah it will be Bomi’s internal struggle within herself to love herself the way she is, hair, skin and all but as her mother it’s important that you let her know that in a environment where she might stand out and might not have many that looks like her around her that she is still beautiful and that there’s nothing wrong with her
As a mixed Korean and Black girl who’s now 36, I remember shopping with my mom and people would stop and stare or try to hike the prices. It was crazy the type of racism we experienced but luckily nothing violent. There were people who were really nice also. My dad was really loved by my mom’s family 🤗. I love and embrace both my nationalities.
I think it’s actually pretty rough that she’s saying she’ll put the responsibility on her daughter to solve if/when she encounters racism in the future
I agree, it will be a problem that the entire family will have to deal with. The mother & father will be responsible for teaching Bomi how to effectively deal with racism. When you choose to have a biracial child that becomes your responsibility as a parent. You can’t just leave the child to fend for themselves
@@KOREAN.21C 나는 파파고를 사용할것입니다 Does mom mean when Bomi becomes an adult? If other kids tell Bomi to take the Black skin off at the playground before playing with Bomi, will the mom tell the 6-year-old to figure it out? 엄마는 보미가 언제 어른이 되는지를 말하는 건가요? 만약 다른 아이들이 보미와 놀기 전에 놀이터에서 검은 피부를 벗으라고 하면 엄마는 6살짜리 아이에게 그것을 알아내라고 말할까요?
I take it as her saying she’s not going to raise her daughter to be weak. People get picked on for various reasons even if they’re all Korean children. I think it’s important to raise resilient people. To raise Bomi to be confident in who she is at a young age puts her far ahead of her peers.
She definitely needs to stand FIRM behind her daughter and walk WITH her when she gets older and has to deal with biases. If she does …hopefully not . My son is part Puerto Rican and Mexican . I’m African American. I WILL always stand firmly by his side. She will need that support !❤
Tbh..... it's easier to blend in as Black if your child is Black and hispanic.......Blasian ....not soo much as Bomi is obviously not all Black and obviously not all Asian......She literally have the phenotype of a Black and Korean person
@@Tee-kc3pnit’s much easier to blend in as a mixed black because you have a more acceptable hair and skin, lightskin…. It’s different when you are dark skinned with 4C hair

The Granny coming from a different era always seems upfront about it all, no fear to say or query. But I think through curiousity she is eventually accepting. 😎 Dig her fashion!!! Love the mum and daughter, so sweet, cute family! Hope to see them again!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Even as a black person, the thing she say, don't bother me really. Nothing she says comes out sounding malice, just an ignorance to certain things. And if that's all she knew growing up, how can someone expect different? But I like the way she interacts with different cultures on this channel.
Bomi will be asking those questions way before puberty! She lives in a society that will remind her daily that she is "different", and will make her believe that her "difference" is synonymous with "inferior" Also, it is not just up to her to deal with it; it's up to you as her parent to be able to help her navigate those uncomfortable situations.
I’m Japanese and Chilean, and I grew up in Chile where there is no diversity back when I was a kid. I heard many hurtful things and was treated very cruelly from a very young age. It’s shocking to me as an adult to think that adults back then had the need to say mean things to a kid. Growing up in countries with no diversity, you just learn not to care what others think of you at a younger age that other people around you.
I'm chilean, and I'm really sorry for what you went through. Things are slowly changing, especially now that we have more mixed kids, but there's still a lot of racism ingrained in our society. People still think that the most beautiful people are european looking ones and asian and black people don't seem to get jobs easily even if they are professionals in the field.
@@danaejerno need to apologize, most countries are like this. Humans are naturally tribalistic and will discriminate against minorities.

It is very sweet that they are trying to warn the Mother about potential racism in the future, like when Bomi starts school. Kids can be cruel, especially if they view you as “different” and it is up to our parents of these newer generations to teach their children about love and empathy towards others. Hearing that this mother has had a mostly positive experience really gives me hope, but also makes me think it will be especially hard for her when she does encounter something bad like this. I hope that no child ever has to experience that sort of thing, but in the world we live in it’s better to be prepared than not.
Mom you and her father will help her embrace her uniqueness. You start while she is young telling her how beautiful she is, how lovely her skin and hair are. You explain to her that different doesn't mean less than. You explain to her that God created her perfectly. He doesn't make mistakes. He only creates masterpieces.
the prejudice in Korea towards mixed people is no way worse oe even the same as in the US, in the US she would actually be praised and gushed over way more. also even though I know its not American culture..the mom saying she has to figure it out on her own was heart breaking. I hope she doesn't grow up to hate her hair and beg her mother to straighten it. GOOD VIBES TO TEENAGE BOMI FROM YEAR 2023
In the US she would be considered Black. I am mixed and only get gushed over and sexualized by other Black people who are self-hating, that is not a compliment. White people view me as black and I am much fairer than her daughter and my hair is less kinky. I went to a predominately white school in CA and was called black (which I am) and racial slurs, I only realized that being mixed was considered different than black once I got around other people of color, especially black people. My insecurity and identity issues started once I got around other Black folk tbh gatekeeping had me very confused.
@Lovequalpeace you aren't making any sense. You were called racist slurs by white people but that didn't affect you?? Only Black people gave you insecurities??? That's a bunch of BS. White people decided you were Black, not Black people?? You live with a lot of anti-Blackness and you need to go deal with it in therapy.
She would only be gushed over by self hating bm & bw. PERIOD! Also, the mom wouldn't have to "do it on her own" if these FKING BABY_MAMA_MAKERS 👨🏿 would raise their kids. They are literally a CURSE to every group of w0men.
do you mean it’s no way “better” than the US? Lmao since you said she would have a better experience in the US than in Korea (which I don’t disagree at all with)
I live in the Bay Area, CA....this is very common - multiracial relationships. We embrace the beauty that comes from those unions. Your family is beautiful and so is your daughter.
This made me feel seen as a half black/half korean child who lived in korea during those not so accepted times back then🥹 i love that it’s being accepted ❤️
There was also the video with her and her mom where her mom was learning to do her hair and that was very heartwarming too. As someone who is Black and Latina and has dealt with discrimination among Latinos, it’s nice to see positive representation and conversations where the mom is learning to advocate for her daughter
Wooh I see that moisture in your baby's hair. Good job immediately doing better with your baby's hair. Just had to give congrats for it. Black hair is a lot of work ^_^. And yes, your daughter looks just like you. Same features and everything. I guess some Koreans aren't used to looking past skin tone but your faces look similar to me.
There’s a video that happened right before this where they brought in a black stylist to teach her. Mom is pretty lost as to baby girls hair but I think she might have learned something from the stylist.
@@tunneleddiscovery5I bet you this mom has the black woman’s number from the previous video on speed dial now. I watched that video too and it was very cute watching the nice lady try to do Bomi’s hair since she was being a typical toddler with a short attention span 😂 I’m sure it’s the challenge for black moms everywhere with toddlers (I’m white and while I had long thick hair as a kid that took forever to whip into shape and braid, I realize it’s a different story for black hair care. I also liked having my hair done so I usually sat still for my mom).
There is no such thing as Black hair. It's called hair type. Black's have different hair types, just like Whites. Not all Asians have bone straight hair. Also stop speaking for all Black people. Not all Black people have hair that's difficult to manage. Please stop lumping all Black people together.
Featurism is huge in East Asia too even South East Asians with lighter skin would face lots of racism due to them on average having bigger lips and wider noses yeah.
The mother said something that is extremely interesting - "If she (Bomi) has a problem with her skin colour!" People should open up their minds to reality that skin colour is not a problem - people are the problem - we're living in a multicultural society and people travel all over the world!
the grandma really rubs me the wrong way??? you can tell she doesn’t like it. i probably just think that because of the rude things she said to the vitiligo girl in that other video.
Yup! Everything about that old lady’s mannerisms was giving prejudice! And then for her to outright admit being okay with their kids in relationships with any other race BUT a black person is telling. She still feels that way imo
I don't really care for her. She seems to have some sort of negativity towards anyone who isn't Korean, as I've seen her reactions in previous videos. I'm always waiting for her to say something that _may_ be offensive to someone. I felt bad for the girl with vitiligo that she talked to.
It's generational hate, can't be mad at something she learned from her parents, The younger generation is more openminded and curious cause of the era they grew up in

I just love the mother and daughter's spirit. The peace, grace and calm with which the mom is responding to these questions tell me all I need to know. Her, her husband and children will be ok. God is with them.
@@loser9890 While it is sad, but bottomline, that is the reality--not just for the issue of racism, prejudice and lack of societal acceptance, but for every issue that a human being faces. The mom (and dad) can only love and care for her, while she overcomes those things. I think people need to take thoughts into who they marry and procreate with and do their homework, so that they can both be allies and support systems for their children. But nevertheless, the children would have to decide on the kind of life they will live--whether a defeated life or victorious one; even in the face of the issues that comes with life. Perspective is key. May GOD bless and help us all.
And no it will NOT be the daughter's problem to solve by herself. Hopefully the mom and father actually give this child the support she needs in the future or she'll be another statistic of young suicide. -- I'm not sure how others were raised but my parents surely never raised me to say "oh you're a black girl in America so here is what's going to happen". You grow up unfortunately experiencing ppl saying things to you on a playground or running away from you in a toy store and pointing
They all are lmao. I do not believe any of the elders from Asian, Latin, Indian, Middle eastern cultures etc accept black people at all it’s a VERY small percent that are open minded. Like 10%
I am pretty sure she is like that towards Non South Koreans as a whole even North Koreans not even North Western European Whites are safe from Racism in The Far East yeah.
That old lady was a piece of work. Imagine having to look up to parents/grandparents knowing that they were blatant racists. “Grandma you have soo much wisdom. Tell me again how you hate people you don’t even know because their skin is a different color than yours”. 😂😂😂💀
Bomi is such a precious beautiful girl and it made me happy to hear she likes her curls 💗 May her spirit and wholesome self confidence be protected and supported all the way ✨
The fact that people think it’s ok to look down on others is beyond me. That type of behavior is taught and the blame lies squarely at the parents/guardian/s feet and when that child is old enough to know better, it is on them. I hope people that are being bullied would turn the table immediately and give them a dose of their own nasty behavior. I hope this new generation put a stop to all this hate.
Awwww that was nice. At first I was worried the older woman would traumatize the mother with her old fashion ideals but then the older woman started to open her mind. That was really lovely!
You have a gorgeous daughter and don´t let nobody tell you otherwise. She´s gonna break a lot of hearts and give her daddy a lot of headaches! 🤣 I´m not promoting child labor but... have you thought about getting Bomi into modelling/acting? She´s adorable, and she has such a beautiful mix of facial traits. If you think the little bunny could manage to hold still to play dress up and take photos, and actually enjoy it, you should consider modelling. It could open a world of future connections for her, give her self validation, help her see how different the world and the beauty standards are outside of Korea, and also help her build a reputation for her future. You might want to ponder it, taking into account her exposure in Giggle could give her a push to get her started (but be careful to maintain a proper balance in her life, fame can be a powerful tool, but a dangerous one too). Best of lucks!
I come from several generations of mixed people. Colorism isn't so bad anymore, but my mom used to get mistaken for a white person. My grandma used to complain about my 'blackness' to my mom and it hurt her a lot. Hearing Bomi's mother ask people if Bomi looks like her made me smile though because it took me back. I wouldn't trade being mixed for anything. I love that my family all looks different.
She shouldn’t let her deal with racism herself, she will need her mums support and her mums voice to stand up for her, not alone 🥺 she is beautiful and I hope she has a happy life
I’m very curious if their reactions would differ if the kid was Korean/caucasian. But it’s nice to see how more accepting Koreans are becoming when it comes to interracial relationships. Also Bomi is so dang cute 🥹 what an angel
Sadly, it would be different. They are desperate to do anything that brings them closer to white people. Koreans are known to do the most plastic surgery too (nose, eyes, skin whitening etc). But yes, that child is absolutely gorgeous.
It’d be a different kind of racism. In high school, the guys would think she’s easy since Korean men tend to think as foreigners as promiscuous. She’d face a lot of sexual harassment and fetishization from the guys there if she was half white. If the kid were to have blue eyes, she’d get made fun of as well since obviously Koreans don’t usually have blue eyes. Overall it wouldn’t be harder or easier if the kid was half-white. She’d just experience the racism in a different way. People there just aren’t as open to new cultures and races compared to the west since it’s a very homogenous country.
@@rosesavocado8557idk I do think in some way it would be "easier", because most of the time wasians fit the beauty standards more than blasians, we can see this by the way that the only mixed k-idols we have seen so far tend to be half white and asian, and not half black or asian bc they tend to not have pale skin for asian standards.
You really believe what you just said?😂😂😂 you think a half white Korean is going to be made fun of because she has blue eyes……Koreans women wear color contacts all the time she is definitely not going to experience the same amount of racism as a half black Korean. The racism is base off skin color and stereotypes. Even south East Asian experience racism based of having olive skin In Korea
@@jimihendrix7524 A lot of kids in school in Korea get bullied for having blue eyes. They get called “blink” and “ugly”. I once saw this with a child who had two different colored eyes - one brown and one blue. The kids at school constantly picked on her.
Mother don't let your daughter go 'through it' alone. That's messed up. You must be understanding and supportive at all stages. What are these people talking about? Bomi has her mother's face. Most people are just too 'color struck' to see.
Watching people treat black like some exotic animal is tiring. And expired. You shouldn’t be that surprised anymore. You know what people look like. You’ve lived a whole lifetime of experiences. Get over it
I'm black and Filipina i wasn't accepted by either growing up my black friends called me ling ling, my only friend was black japanese mixed people called him flat face so we stuck together as the only blasians in our school😅
This really made me feel badly for the children born to Korean mothers and American fathers (both white and black) during the Korean War. I've heard those children faced a lot of racism.
Why are there only Korean women ? They should also have Korean men in this interview. What would Korean men think about this mom and her blasian daughter ?🤨
I dont like when the mum said her child has to get through the challenges and figure things out by herself. I hope she realises thats probably not the best mindset to have
The daughter looks more like her father. The grandmother said " The mother has a very bright and good skin." " It will stand out if you two walk together." The other Korean female said" I think not all will have a positive sight." They are being polite in telling her the racism she might face. There probably would be more acceptance, if her daughter would have had a white father.
@rock_lee3145they don’t hate per say it’s just Koreans are very ignorant and the media portrays black people in a bad way. Plus they have no access to black people so they just believe negative stereotypes
I'd like to think that Asian people don't hate black people. One would be that most of them didn't grow up with black people so it is most likely they consider black people as entirely different (rather unknown). Second, unfortunately, prejudice against dark skin came because people working in fields and other physical laborious tasks under the sun had darker skin in these countries. Darker skin simply meant that you were less affluent in a lot of these communities and marriage and kids resulting thereby would have also be abject to that same prejudice. Definitely not justified but rather trying to get across the point that the prejudice isn't against black people.
@rock_lee3145 it's not hate against black people per se, but Korean society (and to an extent, other Asian societies) are colorist. They prefer lighter skin because (as the other person said), it was mostly a class issue. Dark skin meant that you worked in the fields/ manual labor/ farmers while having light skin meant that you're rich/ belonged to the upper class (landlords, white collar jobs, etc). Many (not all) Koreans look down on SE Asians because they (we) are darker. They also look down on darker Koreans. Lots of skin whitening products in Korea (and elsewhere) - even though most Koreans are already fair-skinned. I think the mom is being overly optimistic of their situation. The young lady (the one with the mixed race friend) told her of stories of bullying. I agree with what some others said that she's living in a bubble. I hope they (the parents of Bomi) will be able to help the child navigate this situation as she grows up.
Mom is going to have to do a lot more than cheer for Bomi from the sidelines. She needs to commit to supporting her. I hope this mother learns quickly that the opposition that her daughter will indeed face will be strong. Choosing to have a bi-racial child is an extra responsibility on the parents to ensure her safety, her confidence and her exposure/immersion to the ‘minority’ culture. Bomi will especially need her mother to embrace Black culture and create a community of Black women to support them. Bomi will need to have inner strength to face the challenges that are coming for her - She’ll need to know that she is worthy and beautiful. Protect her at all costs.
I think a confusing statement from the mother is that she will let Bomi deal with problems regarding her race herself. And this is where I think it is complicated. Bomi’s mother may have grown with a more open mindset and obviously fell in love with a black man and had a beautiful child with him. But that doesn’t mean some of the way she finds that her culture handles problems is problematic. She might recognize that Bomi will have it tougher than most kids in school, but think with the Korean mindset that she needs to independently work through it on her own no matter how hard it is. That’s where multicultural relationships can be tricky. It’s not just the difference in skin color, it’s the mindset of how to raise children. Maybe the mom will realize Bomi needs more education on self love and confidence. Maybe Bomi will have to “tough it out” so to speak and will come out the other side tougher because of it. Or maybe Bomi will be the reason that Korean culture evolves and changes for the better when she is older and falls in love because she will learn from her experiences growing up what her future children (should she decide to have any) might need in order to work through these same situations. The future is uncertain for all countries and all generations. The best we can do is learn and grow and try our best to do right by the people younger than us to hopefully continue to bring positive change in every country, regardless of where each country is in terms of diversity and acceptance.
this makes me so glad to live in a place where it's normal to see people of all ethnicities. racism is of course still an issue, but at least all the kids here grow up knowing people can be different and the ones belonging to minorities know they're not alone.
mom & dad are doing such a great job! she sounds like a really happy, confident kid. she doesn't question what might make her different, like her hair, she just revels in it. sweet girl. keep encouraging that confidence and that self assuredness!
The mom keeps saying that it's her problem instead of saying she will stand up for her child and help her through it is crazy… the child is a product of what she decided to do so her Child's problem is not just something she's gonna have to work on, on her own but something she needs to b able to talk about and work through with her parents
Why would that beautiful mixed bby grow to hate her beauty or precious curly hair..she doesn't look any different from any human being on earth.. Weird comments.. Is being black bad or crime.. People don't just get it..black is sooooooo beautiful just like any colour..
I'm a Black Queen that celebrates ALL shades of Black beauty. Black women and Black girls are equally beautiful in EVERY shade. Our skin tones are Exquisite Beauty. Respect the complexion! Black people have the most dominant genes. dark-pigmented, people have a lower chance of developing skin cancer and conditions related to folate deficiency, such as neural tube defects. An SPF of 2 means the doubling of protection of the skin against sunburn. Dark skin, which contains more melanin than fair skin is better protected against UV-induced damage, and melanin is thought to be superior to pheomelanin in its photoprotective properties. I'm a Black Queen that celebrates ALL shades of Black beauty.
I just really wanna clap it up for this family she’s An amazing mother making sure her daughter is loved and accepted and also still trying to learn about her and educate her as well and others around her is amazing
I really hope when Bomi gets older and faces racism cause she will that the mom doesn't really say" figure it out yourself". I can't even imagine what I would feel if my mom told that to me growing up when I was being bullied because of my skin color. My mom helped my siblings and I through everything we dealt with.
I love that Bomi loves her own hair, and isn’t asking why her skin is darker. I’m sure that with her father around all the time, even at a young age she’s capable of basic logic to deduce where her skin tone comes from. And I think a lot of this early exposure of positive experiences with giggle is helping her see that some people might make racist comments, but her mother is immediately politely rebutting those comments, and exposing her daughter to positive influences like the black woman Rianna who did her hair for her. And we see that Bomi’s mother took the hair advice to heart, she looks so pretty and well taken care of. The fact that her daughter loves her hair is probably a direct relationship to these early positive experiences. Even if other kids or grown-ups have mean things to say, she’s probably going to handle it a lot better than a child who didn’t have these early experiences that associate her hair and face with pleasant memories and loving connection, open curiosity and polite conversations. Good for Bomi and her mother being proactive this way. Better for Bomi to overhear loving remarks from Rianna and then the “pretty lady” she high-fives, and overhear her mother standing up to any worries from an elder, than to overhear these concepts as nasty arguments from a young age. Those nasty arguments and bullying will eventually happen out in the world for her, but she’s so fortunate to have these positive experiences as her FIRST experiences, to help nurture her heart and help her through this. I don’t think the mother was being dismissive at all or saying she’ll let Bomi handle it on her own down the line, I think Bomi’s mother is clearly demonstrating by being involved in this project how seriously she takes creating a loving and supportive and educational but civil environment for her daughter, so that she has the support she needs. A lot of people misunderstood, I think Bomi’s mother is getting it right here. I don’t think she’s saying she’s not going to be there to love and console and comfort her daughter or stand up for her in those times. I think she’s just saying, she’s doing her best to give her the tools to be confident and well-rounded now, so that she can face these things better when that time comes. That’s how I understood what she was trying to say anyway, sometimes actions speak louder than words and you have to take the translated-across-languages words within the context of what actions someone is taking. This mother is clearly not neglecting her daughter’s emotional needs, and is really doing her best to be supportive as much as she humanly can.
That old lady still definitely has the same attitude she did back then cause she didn’t even say she doesn’t think like that anymore or that’s she’s changed. She just said the younger generation changed
I love that u r addressing these topics for us all! Thank you and I wish u n Bomi the best of life! Raise her with confidence,pride in herself. N HER Culture Her traditions n Her beliefs n she will stand strong n shine n others will see this and know there is no bringing her down! N that alone will stop most negative people because most ppl like that pick on the weak n unsure, ppl thy know they can beat and make feel bad. Keep up the good work Momma n Papa !
Bless, what a lovely family, You can see proper Mum Dad combo too, I think it shows a lot of change has already happened in Korea so far, with the younger Korean girl taking note of struggles her friends had in school with what struggles Bomi may have too, I think that shows that thoughts are changing a little more amongst the younger generation (Slowly but surely) and that people are more and more taking it to themselves to be a little more understanding. Its that thing of Love has no boundaries or prejudice, we just need to learn how to accept it across the globe init
*She’s so cute and inquisitive! Smart girl (: and I know her mom means well but please never try to make them hug/touch someone or anything like that, kids who grow up obeying adults on matters like this are more likely to get sexually abused because they are raised to believe they have to do it if they’re told to, especially by an adult! RESPECT THEIR RIGHT TO SAY NO! Especially if you then try to teach them they have rights over their bodies and others need consent from them, which goes against making them hug/touch someone…*
It's so important to introduce people to scenarios that are not regularly seen in their culture, and allowing them to learn and ask questions without judgement. I love this channel.
I agree it's tragic, especially because black people are individuals, not a monolith. However, it would be lying to deny some basis for the persistant racism against blacks. Black people are not winning. In America, over 70% of black children are illegitimate. At least 25% of blacks live below the poverty level. Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime, and many don't value education. Even African countries are terrible due to habitual mismanagement and strife. So, with those "specs", how can anyone blame Koreans or any other Asian group for being racist. The very things that they see Blacks "represent" are completely against their cultural values. We must stop lying to ourselves and take ownership of the toxicity that is in the black community. Only then can we clean up the image of black people that gets transmitted to other countries.
i would love it if they brought Han Hyunmin on here so that he can speak of his experience growing up in Korea especially as a black passing Korean person. I feel that the mum is positive of her child's future in Korea which is good but she really needs to see the reality of first hand experience of racism in Korea as a mixed child. The mum is so hopeful and really loves her daughter which the daughter fully deserves but it's so important to show the reality of Korea as a country where bullying is a never ending problem. She's most likely has grown up there and knows that it's not sunshine and daisies there and knows being different or standing out will get you picked on. Even foreign people who live in Korea, have a job there, have a house there are still considered an outsider even if they know Korean even better than a Korean person so what difference would there be with a mixed child? The mum should instil these positive words inside of her before the negative ones do.
I'm so scared for the girl what she's going to experience when she grows up at school or at work in this country since I know she risks being bullied if she grows up low I pray with all my heart that this doesn't happen
It's normal there now I watch this biracial Korean teen girl channel who is from America but raised in Korea she fits in real good and is loved by her peers and community!
@@thankmelater90210 I know who you are talking about and she edits her videos with only positive comments from her peers. These new GenZ kids aren't outright nasty to Blasian kids but they also aren't accepting. Don't expect anyone to have a crush on or date you, Korean kids will say microaggressions things about your hair & skin, and you do get bullied/outcasted at least in one period of your school life.
@@thankmelater90210 I also know two girls who are blasian and they seem to be good and to be accepted in their schools but you should know that in all high schools or colleges in Korea there is a 98% chance Whether they get bullied because of their skin differences or that they don't generally look like Korean and the criterion or just for stupid reasons so when we see the percentage Korean people who are harassed, there is a chance that she will also experience it when she grows up and the mother knows that and I hope that if she has the means that she can put her in a safe school where there will be no problems Or the hardest way is to go live abroad and when she finishes school they can consider coming back to Korea Edit ! Ps:don't think that it's because someone there seems happy and well treated that it's necessarily good you don't know her personally so you can't know if that's actually what she's showing in videos are true
@@Chels4hair exactly what I'm trying to explain given the beauty criteria of Koreans they would be sure that a Korean mixed race person would be accepted especially a blasian no chance and also people forget that Koreans don't necessarily like foreigners who come to their countries ''they tolerate them, it's completely different'' Koreans are quite strict when it comes to beauty criteria I even saw a video of a Korean who interviews foreigners about their lives in Korea And he asked how the dates were going, there was a woman who said that a Korean had told her that they would never go out with a black woman because if he committed to a serious relationship with her they risk having a child, it's not what he wants and he very clearly said that the child risks being harassed at school or at work and that's not what he wants so he prefers don't get involved in it (the girl looked quite shocked and thought what he said was mean but no it's not mean it's just real what they said I don't even think this guy wanted to make her sad or out of spite he just wanted to tell her the truth) South Korea in terms of harassment is more horrible compared to Japan this is the first reason which means that there are more and more suicides even if they send messages of prevention through dramas, newspapers, words of encouragement and safety barriers at the bridge it changes absolutely nothing since the number of suicides each month is not decreasing and also people need to know that in terms of harassment it doesn't happen like in the drama it's times worse in real life in Korea (I don't know if you saw the glory but this series seems to have shocked everyone when they saw what this girl suffered and it's real it's not a story Film where everything is imagining it really happened like that so imagine already someone who denounces this openly traumatized for life there must be many who have suffered worse but don't want to say anything Because of the fear they have
I appreciate the older lady bringing up that its not just prejudice against foreigners or someone of a different nationality. There is an extra stigma if you are black. I rarely hear Koreans or others from East Asia admit this. Its important to highlight the unique experience of being Blasian.
Yes many people try to defend the racism by saying it’s all xenophobia and whites get discriminated too, but it’s only true to a degree. Whites are generally treated better
@@hondagirl2001hmmm I don’t know about your statement being definitive. The roots of colourism in east Asian countries mostly come from an idea of white=purity, as this is a value that has pervaded through history… and in the past East Asian people were not in contact with darker people in order to create prejudiced opinions which would affect colourism. However again, there are people who are racist and colourist as a result of modern society and globalisation… allowing for contact with darker coloured people along with ‘culture’ which encouraged racism in Asian countries. But it would be wrong to say colourism cant exist without racism
Old people always get a free pass for being racist 🙄 I am latina and old people sometimes say the most prejudiced things
Yes it's why even though my mom's family accepted my Mom and Dad being together, My mom still decided to leave Korea with my Dad and not raise us there! I didn't understand it as a youngster why she chose to keep us far away from the place I was born, until I got older and I started to peep stuff out and then I started to realize it for myself. It's why even though I love Korea and the culture I really don't full with Koreans outside my family members. I would see for myself how white and Korean kids really wouldn't get the same negative energy that black and Korean kids would get, and if the more Korean and lighter you were then the easier you would have it. Because I've seen kids of lighter skinned Black people have kids with Koreans and not really get much aggression, but for those of us who visibly look different, it was hatred all day, even here in the USA. And I just never felt accepted by Korean people like that except by my own family. Which is crazy because my great grandma and grandma loved me! And I always understood this! I have so many pictures showing how much they loved me! Not just in private but also in public! But Korean people can be real ignorant like that. It way better than it used to be, but it needs to be much better!
I hope that they would take aspiration and inspiration from Nicol David, the former Malaysian world record holder champion for female squash which is the daughter of Desmond David (Malaysian Indian) and Ann Marie David (Malaysian Chinese).
All the best
The mother is right antiblackness is a global issue that’s everywhere, but it’s not black ppls ‘problem to fix’ when we didn’t create antiblackness or racism.
Agreed. I was irked by it. Every child needs support when it comes to bullying or racism . I am worried considering she said it's her problem to deal with it when it's not. As parents you are responsible for her and need to help , support, acknowledge her struggles and her issues .

I really enjoyed listening to the young woman. She could tell they were mother and daughter because of their interaction, and she explained to the mom that her mixed-race friends have had traumatic experiences because of racism. I hope the mom changes her mind about helping her child through racism. It's definitely her (and the dad's) responsibility to talk their daughter about racism, to help her understand that people can be fearful and hateful towards differences, but it is not her fault and she doesn't need to change anything about herself.
I live in the U.S. and as she said, we have a lot more diversity here, but we still have racism. Parents here (myself included) would never say that it is the responsibility of a child to just get through racism on their own.
Yes, I agree. Don’t just leave her out there by herself to figure it out. I hate this new way of thinking where some believe you should let the child raise themselves. Because kids in school can be cruel and brutal about sharing their thoughts.
Also, that’s interesting that Asian people can’t see that they are mother and daughter, I could tell they were right off because of their looks/ the physical.
She said the daughter will have to go through accepting that she looks different than the other teenage girls and basically how to be fine with that. She never mentioned that in the context of racism
Totally agree. I really hope she'll help her daughter if she needs :(
I think the language barrier misinterpreted what she said, I think what she meant is, “my daughter will get through it.” Not that she will have to do it on her own
@@denissealdana7816 For the child's sake, I was hoping it was a translation issue. But it was said several times and from the rest of her conversation, mom seems to be clueless.
a very small detail i really appreciate is when bomi was shy and didn't want to give one of the younger women a hug, her mom didn't force her and instead gave her an alternate way to say hi with a high five. that's a really small thing that teaches kids their comfort matters, especially with physical touch with others, and a lot of parents don't do that kind of thing. i know of so many people who's parents would force them to hug people they weren't comfortable hugging, or punish them for not showing affection in a specific way. it was really nice to see bomi's mom respect her daughter's boundaries like that. it was also really cool that she suggested a high five instead, because lots of times kids want to express affection, just not in that specific way, so her giving her daughter another way that was more comfortable was really nice.
I noticed that too 💜
@niconico_nya Thank you so much for saying this. I grew up like that and it had serious repercussions for me as an adult with the mentality that I don't have a choice.
Thanks you so much for sharing that will keep this in mind when I have kids 💖
Koreans need to get out more. Get out of that Asian bubble
I was thinking she shouldn't have told her daughter to hug a stranger in the first place. Some kids will just feel obliged. But I appreciated that the girl kind of inherently recognized the "stranger danger" in the hug and stood her ground in her own little way until she decided the hi five was acceptable. And yes, it was good that her mother didn't pressure her any further.
The mom's comments about the future are sort of sad. She is living in the bubble that people are more accepting, even while someone is telling her about second hand experiences. Bullying happens whether someone is Korean, poor, unpopular, etc. But, it happens worse when you're Black no matter if you're mixed-race or not. I hope she sees what the girl was telling her and better prepare her daughter for that. For now, I'm glad that her daughter is happy and healthy.
yes, I agree. I was hoping someone else noticed that. Though I still think she's a good mom, she's a bit ignorant of what Black/darker skinned ppl go thru in Korean society. I do agree with all the points she brought up, but I believe as a mother of a mixed race child, it is her responsibility (as well as the fathers) to teach their daughter about the realities of living in Korea as a mixed race person. she chose to have a child with a Black person, so that means she needs to accept all the aspects of having a mixed child, including the racism they'll have to deal with in the future (cuz its inevitable.) Bomi should be able to come to either of her parents and ask about how/why she's different from others, and get an answer, not a "u have to figure it out urself." her mom prolly wont say it like that, but she is implying it in the vid.
Totally agree. She seems totally unprepared for that and just wants her daughter to deal with it when it happens. Made me sad.
yes, I totally agree. Kids will be bullied for every little thing, but Bomi being half black in a place like Korea the bulling will be even worse. I personally didn't like the mothers notion of when she faces racism and feelings of otherness it will be a her problem thing, and not her( the mother and fathers) job to help and build up confidence and strength to deal with prejudice. The child did not asked to be born and the mother new what could happen by having kids outside her race especially with a black man. When Korea is very anti-black/ any darkskin. Them as parents should be taking the active efforts to prepare their child for the outside world and their views and show her how to deal with them. Instead of thinking or hoping the world is a better place or she will not go through those things purely because you wish it so.
You're absolutely right! I was shocked when she said; "oh well, she'll have to deal with it and figure it out"...
Exactly. And I find it highly problematic that the mom has this mindset that she’s not going to approach the situation with “youre different” like there’s nothing wrong with being different. Telling your visually biracial child that she’s just like other Koreans and she blends in is just setting her up. People will stare, people will ask questions not to mention at SOME point her daughter will deal with the insecuirty of her skin color and hair not being like everybody else’s. you can’t just ignore this part of her identity and just be like “well, I’m Korean and she’s half of me so she’s Korean” the world is not going to see or treat her that way. It is her responsibility as a parent to prepare her daughter for that. This is why i hate when black men procreate with non black women bc they leave all the responsibility of making sure the child is secure in their blackness to the NON-black mom.
I hope they connect with older Black and Korean mixed people so that she can directly learn from their experiences and use that to guide her daughter. It's also very important that she is in community with Black people, whether they're relatives or family friends so thay she can feel pride in all aspects of her heritage.
Also hope that the mom realizes she can't just expect her daughter to face everything on her own.... she needs to advocate for her.... that makes me feel a bit nervous for the child...
i was thinking Han Hyunmin as a good example as he also has a Korean mum and an African dad
That's the problem most of the time they don't nor do they want to.

It really nice to see that the younger generations are open minded and they are aware of the evolution of the world. Also the eldest seems understanding and tries to be nice so it really nice too. I really like your videos , well done!
Yeah it will be Bomi’s internal struggle within herself to love herself the way she is, hair, skin and all but as her mother it’s important that you let her know that in a environment where she might stand out and might not have many that looks like her around her that she is still beautiful and that there’s nothing wrong with her
Exactly!
As a mixed Korean and Black girl who’s now 36, I remember shopping with my mom and people would stop and stare or try to hike the prices. It was crazy the type of racism we experienced but luckily nothing violent. There were people who were really nice also. My dad was really loved by my mom’s family 🤗. I love and embrace both my nationalities.
🙂🙂🙂
I think it’s actually pretty rough that she’s saying she’ll put the responsibility on her daughter to solve if/when she encounters racism in the future
Exactly that's messed up she's just wiping her hands with the situation 😞

I agree, it will be a problem that the entire family will have to deal with. The mother & father will be responsible for teaching Bomi how to effectively deal with racism. When you choose to have a biracial child that becomes your responsibility as a parent. You can’t just leave the child to fend for themselves

Does mom mean when Bomi becomes an adult? If other kids tell Bomi to take the Black skin off at the playground before playing with Bomi, will the mom tell the 6-year-old to figure it out?

I take it as her saying she’s not going to raise her daughter to be weak. People get picked on for various reasons even if they’re all Korean children. I think it’s important to raise resilient people. To raise Bomi to be confident in who she is at a young age puts her far ahead of her peers.
The daughter is so cute omg
I love the way she is talking. Every time something backhanded or prejudice comes up she calls it bad or prejudice in such a polite way.

Bomi will be asking those questions way before puberty! She lives in a society that will remind her daily that she is "different", and will make her believe that her "difference" is synonymous with "inferior" Also, it is not just up to her to deal with it; it's up to you as her parent to be able to help her navigate those uncomfortable situations.

Growing up in countries with no diversity, you just learn not to care what others think of you at a younger age that other people around you.

It is very sweet that they are trying to warn the Mother about potential racism in the future, like when Bomi starts school. Kids can be cruel, especially if they view you as “different” and it is up to our parents of these newer generations to teach their children about love and empathy towards others. Hearing that this mother has had a mostly positive experience really gives me hope, but also makes me think it will be especially hard for her when she does encounter something bad like this. I hope that no child ever has to experience that sort of thing, but in the world we live in it’s better to be prepared than not.
I absolutely love this mom. She is the best. She is so loving and tries her best. Omg.
Mom you and her father will help her embrace her uniqueness. You start while she is young telling her how beautiful she is, how lovely her skin and hair are. You explain to her that different doesn't mean less than. You explain to her that God created her perfectly. He doesn't make mistakes. He only creates masterpieces.
the prejudice in Korea towards mixed people is no way worse oe even the same as in the US, in the US she would actually be praised and gushed over way more. also even though I know its not American culture..the mom saying she has to figure it out on her own was heart breaking. I hope she doesn't grow up to hate her hair and beg her mother to straighten it. GOOD VIBES TO TEENAGE BOMI FROM YEAR 2023
In the US she would be considered Black. I am mixed and only get gushed over and sexualized by other Black people who are self-hating, that is not a compliment. White people view me as black and I am much fairer than her daughter and my hair is less kinky.
I went to a predominately white school in CA and was called black (which I am) and racial slurs, I only realized that being mixed was considered different than black once I got around other people of color, especially black people.
My insecurity and identity issues started once I got around other Black folk tbh gatekeeping had me very confused.
@Lovequalpeace you aren't making any sense. You were called racist slurs by white people but that didn't affect you?? Only Black people gave you insecurities??? That's a bunch of BS. White people decided you were Black, not Black people?? You live with a lot of anti-Blackness and you need to go deal with it in therapy.
She would only be gushed over by self hating bm & bw. PERIOD! Also, the mom wouldn't have to "do it on her own" if these FKING BABY_MAMA_MAKERS 👨🏿 would raise their kids. They are literally a CURSE to every group of w0men.
Naa girl same as US!? Naaaa tell me how many racism crimes have korea compare to USA? is insanely violent in 🇺🇸
do you mean it’s no way “better” than the US? Lmao since you said she would have a better experience in the US than in Korea (which I don’t disagree at all with)
Bomi is so sweet ♡
She really grasped the hair tips. Way to go mom. Your both are doing a great job raising her!🎉😊❤ stay strong
I live in the Bay Area, CA....this is very common - multiracial relationships. We embrace the beauty that comes from those unions. Your family is beautiful and so is your daughter.
This made me feel seen as a half black/half korean child who lived in korea during those not so accepted times back then🥹 i love that it’s being accepted ❤️
There was also the video with her and her mom where her mom was learning to do her hair and that was very heartwarming too. As someone who is Black and Latina and has dealt with discrimination among Latinos, it’s nice to see positive representation and conversations where the mom is learning to advocate for her daughter
There are lots of Black Latinos. Hispanic and Latino is not a race.
All of this nonsense comes from European colonization. It's time to stop with the color and hair texture crap.
i love how the Mom talks, she seems genuine and kind
Bomi just always in her own world in these videos, mom is answering all these questions and bomi just not a care in the world😂😂it’s adorable tbh
The young lady is so cultured, we need more people with her insight.
Wooh I see that moisture in your baby's hair. Good job immediately doing better with your baby's hair. Just had to give congrats for it. Black hair is a lot of work ^_^. And yes, your daughter looks just like you. Same features and everything. I guess some Koreans aren't used to looking past skin tone but your faces look similar to me.
There’s a video that happened right before this where they brought in a black stylist to teach her. Mom is pretty lost as to baby girls hair but I think she might have learned something from the stylist.
@@tunneleddiscovery5I bet you this mom has the black woman’s number from the previous video on speed dial now. I watched that video too and it was very cute watching the nice lady try to do Bomi’s hair since she was being a typical toddler with a short attention span 😂 I’m sure it’s the challenge for black moms everywhere with toddlers (I’m white and while I had long thick hair as a kid that took forever to whip into shape and braid, I realize it’s a different story for black hair care. I also liked having my hair done so I usually sat still for my mom).
There is no such thing as Black hair. It's called hair type. Black's have different hair types, just like Whites. Not all Asians have bone straight hair. Also stop speaking for all Black people. Not all Black people have hair that's difficult to manage. Please stop lumping all Black people together.
Featurism is huge in East Asia too even South East Asians with lighter skin would face lots of racism due to them on average having bigger lips and wider noses yeah.
Exactly can’t get past the tone because she looks just like her mom
The mother said something that is extremely interesting - "If she (Bomi) has a problem with her skin colour!" People should open up their minds to reality that skin colour is not a problem - people are the problem - we're living in a multicultural society and people travel all over the world!
the grandma really rubs me the wrong way??? you can tell she doesn’t like it. i probably just think that because of the rude things she said to the vitiligo girl in that other video.
Yup! Everything about that old lady’s mannerisms was giving prejudice! And then for her to outright admit being okay with their kids in relationships with any other race BUT a black person is telling. She still feels that way imo
I don't really care for her.
She seems to have some sort of negativity towards anyone who isn't Korean, as I've seen her reactions in previous videos. I'm always waiting for her to say something that _may_ be offensive to someone.
I felt bad for the girl with vitiligo that she talked to.
It's generational hate, can't be mad at something she learned from her parents, The younger generation is more openminded and curious cause of the era they grew up in
@@MsCece78 To be fair there are many people who are her age but more accepting of differences. I think all negative behaviours have reasons behind it but we can still point it out and hope it changes.
@@cinnabhyun8585crazy enough I feel like all non black POC’s grandparents feel like this but just don’t be saying it, some do , some don’t. They parents be 50/50 but the grands usually 90% of the time hold the sentiment of the grandma in this video
I just love the mother and daughter's spirit. The peace, grace and calm with which the mom is responding to these questions tell me all I need to know. Her, her husband and children will be ok. God is with them.
her saying that when she gets older the problems she’ll face are her problems / job to solve is kind of a sad answer
@@loser9890exactly when she goes through those things all she's going to have is her father😢
@@loser9890 While it is sad, but bottomline, that is the reality--not just for the issue of racism, prejudice and lack of societal acceptance, but for every issue that a human being faces. The mom (and dad) can only love and care for her, while she overcomes those things.
I think people need to take thoughts into who they marry and procreate with and do their homework, so that they can both be allies and support systems for their children. But nevertheless, the children would have to decide on the kind of life they will live--whether a defeated life or victorious one; even in the face of the issues that comes with life. Perspective is key.
May GOD bless and help us all.
And no it will NOT be the daughter's problem to solve by herself. Hopefully the mom and father actually give this child the support she needs in the future or she'll be another statistic of young suicide. -- I'm not sure how others were raised but my parents surely never raised me to say "oh you're a black girl in America so here is what's going to happen". You grow up unfortunately experiencing ppl saying things to you on a playground or running away from you in a toy store and pointing
She is absolutely adorable. 😁
Bomi is a gift from God and a beautiful baby girl. You have a beautiful family.
There's no credible evidence to show or support a God in existence anywhere in reality.
@@fresh-eggs lmao
@@fresh-eggsit was just a compliment
@@fresh-eggs I dont think you meant to reply to me, all I said was lmao.. And I know you were, I'm satanist so I just found it funny.
@@mignonne666 Yeah sorry about that. I just realized my error. Lol
She’s such a cute and precious little girl ❤️
her daughter is so adorable. Blasian is beautiful
That old lady giving me bad vibes. No doubt in my mind that despite her granddaughter dating a black man, she’s still prejudiced against black ppl
the title is a tad misleading. Those were not her relatives, just random people.
They all are lmao. I do not believe any of the elders from Asian, Latin, Indian, Middle eastern cultures etc accept black people at all it’s a VERY small percent that are open minded. Like 10%
I am pretty sure she is like that towards Non South Koreans as a whole even North Koreans not even North Western European Whites are safe from Racism in The Far East yeah.
That old lady was a piece of work. Imagine having to look up to parents/grandparents knowing that they were blatant racists. “Grandma you have soo much wisdom. Tell me again how you hate people you don’t even know because their skin is a different color than yours”. 😂😂😂💀
❤What a beautiful child her skin is gorgeous in every way❤
Bomi is such a precious beautiful girl and it made me happy to hear she likes her curls 💗 May her spirit and wholesome self confidence be protected and supported all the way ✨
The fact that people think it’s ok to look down on others is beyond me. That type of behavior is taught and the blame lies squarely at the parents/guardian/s feet and when that child is old enough to know better, it is on them. I hope people that are being bullied would turn the table immediately and give them a dose of their own nasty behavior. I hope this new generation put a stop to all this hate.
I’m glad I’m Canadian cuz it’s so diverse here and a lot of mixed race. It’s so common to be mixed in caribbean/Canada 🇨🇦
So is Canada a less racist country ? Here is USA there is tolerance, yet not full acceptance in some places .
Why would anyone think she's Bomi's teacher? She literally looks like her mother. The only difference is the hair type and skin tone.
They don't see that. All they see is skin color and always will.
Awwww that was nice. At first I was worried the older woman would traumatize the mother with her old fashion ideals but then the older woman started to open her mind. That was really lovely!
You have a gorgeous daughter and don´t let nobody tell you otherwise. She´s gonna break a lot of hearts and give her daddy a lot of headaches! 🤣
I´m not promoting child labor but... have you thought about getting Bomi into modelling/acting? She´s adorable, and she has such a beautiful mix of facial traits. If you think the little bunny could manage to hold still to play dress up and take photos, and actually enjoy it, you should consider modelling. It could open a world of future connections for her, give her self validation, help her see how different the world and the beauty standards are outside of Korea, and also help her build a reputation for her future. You might want to ponder it, taking into account her exposure in Giggle could give her a push to get her started (but be careful to maintain a proper balance in her life, fame can be a powerful tool, but a dangerous one too). Best of lucks!
I come from several generations of mixed people. Colorism isn't so bad anymore, but my mom used to get mistaken for a white person. My grandma used to complain about my 'blackness' to my mom and it hurt her a lot. Hearing Bomi's mother ask people if Bomi looks like her made me smile though because it took me back. I wouldn't trade being mixed for anything. I love that my family all looks different.
She shouldn’t let her deal with racism herself, she will need her mums support and her mums voice to stand up for her, not alone 🥺 she is beautiful and I hope she has a happy life
I’m very curious if their reactions would differ if the kid was Korean/caucasian. But it’s nice to see how more accepting Koreans are becoming when it comes to interracial relationships. Also Bomi is so dang cute 🥹 what an angel
Sadly, it would be different. They are desperate to do anything that brings them closer to white people. Koreans are known to do the most plastic surgery too (nose, eyes, skin whitening etc).
But yes, that child is absolutely gorgeous.
It’d be a different kind of racism. In high school, the guys would think she’s easy since Korean men tend to think as foreigners as promiscuous. She’d face a lot of sexual harassment and fetishization from the guys there if she was half white. If the kid were to have blue eyes, she’d get made fun of as well since obviously Koreans don’t usually have blue eyes.
Overall it wouldn’t be harder or easier if the kid was half-white. She’d just experience the racism in a different way. People there just aren’t as open to new cultures and races compared to the west since it’s a very homogenous country.
@@rosesavocado8557idk I do think in some way it would be "easier", because most of the time wasians fit the beauty standards more than blasians, we can see this by the way that the only mixed k-idols we have seen so far tend to be half white and asian, and not half black or asian bc they tend to not have pale skin for asian standards.
You really believe what you just said?😂😂😂 you think a half white Korean is going to be made fun of because she has blue eyes……Koreans women wear color contacts all the time she is definitely not going to experience the same amount of racism as a half black Korean. The racism is base off skin color and stereotypes. Even south East Asian experience racism based of having olive skin In Korea
@@jimihendrix7524 A lot of kids in school in Korea get bullied for having blue eyes. They get called “blink” and “ugly”. I once saw this with a child who had two different colored eyes - one brown and one blue. The kids at school constantly picked on her.
Mother don't let your daughter go 'through it' alone. That's messed up. You must be understanding and supportive at all stages. What are these people talking about? Bomi has her mother's face. Most people are just too 'color struck' to see.
Watching people treat black like some exotic animal is tiring. And expired. You shouldn’t be that surprised anymore. You know what people look like. You’ve lived a whole lifetime of experiences. Get over it
News Flash... It won't end no time soon ... There's a REASON for hype ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
What’s the reason?
@@SuperWisernow The reason is NOT for ALL, just for the FEW
Remember the scripture: Many will come but few will be chosen 💖
So cute…being black + Asian = uniqueness ❤️
I'm black and Filipina i wasn't accepted by either growing up my black friends called me ling ling, my only friend was black japanese mixed people called him flat face so we stuck together as the only blasians in our school😅
This really made me feel badly for the children born to Korean mothers and American fathers (both white and black) during the Korean War. I've heard those children faced a lot of racism.
Why are there only Korean women ? They should also have Korean men in this interview. What would Korean men think about this mom and her blasian daughter ?🤨
I dont like when the mum said her child has to get through the challenges and figure things out by herself. I hope she realises thats probably not the best mindset to have
The daughter looks more like her father. The grandmother said " The mother has a very bright and good skin." " It will stand out if you two walk together." The other Korean female said" I think not all will have a positive sight." They are being polite in telling her the racism she might face. There probably would be more acceptance, if her daughter would have had a white father.
Oh they definitely would be less against multiracial relationships if the partner was white! as they always do
@rock_lee3145they don’t hate per say it’s just Koreans are very ignorant and the media portrays black people in a bad way. Plus they have no access to black people so they just believe negative stereotypes
I'd like to think that Asian people don't hate black people. One would be that most of them didn't grow up with black people so it is most likely they consider black people as entirely different (rather unknown). Second, unfortunately, prejudice against dark skin came because people working in fields and other physical laborious tasks under the sun had darker skin in these countries. Darker skin simply meant that you were less affluent in a lot of these communities and marriage and kids resulting thereby would have also be abject to that same prejudice.
Definitely not justified but rather trying to get across the point that the prejudice isn't against black people.
@rock_lee3145white are favored because since they initiated colonialism they are seen as superior
@rock_lee3145 it's not hate against black people per se, but Korean society (and to an extent, other Asian societies) are colorist. They prefer lighter skin because (as the other person said), it was mostly a class issue.
Dark skin meant that you worked in the fields/ manual labor/ farmers while having light skin meant that you're rich/ belonged to the upper class (landlords, white collar jobs, etc).
Many (not all) Koreans look down on SE Asians because they (we) are darker. They also look down on darker Koreans. Lots of skin whitening products in Korea (and elsewhere) - even though most Koreans are already fair-skinned.
I think the mom is being overly optimistic of their situation. The young lady (the one with the mixed race friend) told her of stories of bullying. I agree with what some others said that she's living in a bubble. I hope they (the parents of Bomi) will be able to help the child navigate this situation as she grows up.
Mom is going to have to do a lot more than cheer for Bomi from the sidelines. She needs to commit to supporting her.
I hope this mother learns quickly that the opposition that her daughter will indeed face will be strong. Choosing to have a bi-racial child is an extra responsibility on the parents to ensure her safety, her confidence and her exposure/immersion to the ‘minority’ culture. Bomi will especially need her mother to embrace Black culture and create a community of Black women to support them. Bomi will need to have inner strength to face the challenges that are coming for her - She’ll need to know that she is worthy and beautiful. Protect her at all costs.
I just saw another video of Bomi and mom ... Mom is getting support from a sister about the care of Bomi's beautiful crown. Great job, mom❤
I think a confusing statement from the mother is that she will let Bomi deal with problems regarding her race herself. And this is where I think it is complicated.
Bomi’s mother may have grown with a more open mindset and obviously fell in love with a black man and had a beautiful child with him. But that doesn’t mean some of the way she finds that her culture handles problems is problematic. She might recognize that Bomi will have it tougher than most kids in school, but think with the Korean mindset that she needs to independently work through it on her own no matter how hard it is.
That’s where multicultural relationships can be tricky. It’s not just the difference in skin color, it’s the mindset of how to raise children. Maybe the mom will realize Bomi needs more education on self love and confidence. Maybe Bomi will have to “tough it out” so to speak and will come out the other side tougher because of it. Or maybe Bomi will be the reason that Korean culture evolves and changes for the better when she is older and falls in love because she will learn from her experiences growing up what her future children (should she decide to have any) might need in order to work through these same situations.
The future is uncertain for all countries and all generations. The best we can do is learn and grow and try our best to do right by the people younger than us to hopefully continue to bring positive change in every country, regardless of where each country is in terms of diversity and acceptance.
Some people really need to go to diverse countries. Because some people's mindset still is sad.
this makes me so glad to live in a place where it's normal to see people of all ethnicities. racism is of course still an issue, but at least all the kids here grow up knowing people can be different and the ones belonging to minorities know they're not alone.
She is so cute ❤
Prejudice is an emotional commitment to ignorance!
Such a cute little one. The small are the culmination from what they are made from. Our essence in in them. Just love them.
mom & dad are doing such a great job! she sounds like a really happy, confident kid. she doesn't question what might make her different, like her hair, she just revels in it. sweet girl. keep encouraging that confidence and that self assuredness!
The mom keeps saying that it's her problem instead of saying she will stand up for her child and help her through it is crazy… the child is a product of what she decided to do so her Child's problem is not just something she's gonna have to work on, on her own but something she needs to b able to talk about and work through with her parents
Why would that beautiful mixed bby grow to hate her beauty or precious curly hair..she doesn't look any different from any human being on earth.. Weird comments.. Is being black bad or crime.. People don't just get it..black is sooooooo beautiful just like any colour..
Not really.
I'm a Black Queen that celebrates ALL shades of Black beauty. Black women and Black girls are equally beautiful in EVERY shade. Our skin tones are Exquisite Beauty. Respect the complexion!
Black people have the most dominant genes. dark-pigmented, people have a lower chance of developing skin cancer and conditions related to folate deficiency, such as neural tube defects.
An SPF of 2 means the doubling of protection of the skin against sunburn. Dark skin, which contains more melanin than fair skin is better protected against UV-induced damage, and melanin is thought to be superior to pheomelanin in its photoprotective properties. I'm a Black Queen that celebrates ALL shades of Black beauty.
I just really wanna clap it up for this family she’s An amazing mother making sure her daughter is loved and accepted and also still trying to learn about her and educate her as well and others around her is amazing
I really hope when Bomi gets older and faces racism cause she will that the mom doesn't really say" figure it out yourself". I can't even imagine what I would feel if my mom told that to me growing up when I was being bullied because of my skin color. My mom helped my siblings and I through everything we dealt with.
She looks exactly like the mom. Just a different shade. People are so obsessed wit skin tone they don’t even see features
I love that Bomi loves her own hair, and isn’t asking why her skin is darker. I’m sure that with her father around all the time, even at a young age she’s capable of basic logic to deduce where her skin tone comes from. And I think a lot of this early exposure of positive experiences with giggle is helping her see that some people might make racist comments, but her mother is immediately politely rebutting those comments, and exposing her daughter to positive influences like the black woman Rianna who did her hair for her. And we see that Bomi’s mother took the hair advice to heart, she looks so pretty and well taken care of. The fact that her daughter loves her hair is probably a direct relationship to these early positive experiences. Even if other kids or grown-ups have mean things to say, she’s probably going to handle it a lot better than a child who didn’t have these early experiences that associate her hair and face with pleasant memories and loving connection, open curiosity and polite conversations. Good for Bomi and her mother being proactive this way. Better for Bomi to overhear loving remarks from Rianna and then the “pretty lady” she high-fives, and overhear her mother standing up to any worries from an elder, than to overhear these concepts as nasty arguments from a young age. Those nasty arguments and bullying will eventually happen out in the world for her, but she’s so fortunate to have these positive experiences as her FIRST experiences, to help nurture her heart and help her through this. I don’t think the mother was being dismissive at all or saying she’ll let Bomi handle it on her own down the line, I think Bomi’s mother is clearly demonstrating by being involved in this project how seriously she takes creating a loving and supportive and educational but civil environment for her daughter, so that she has the support she needs. A lot of people misunderstood, I think Bomi’s mother is getting it right here. I don’t think she’s saying she’s not going to be there to love and console and comfort her daughter or stand up for her in those times. I think she’s just saying, she’s doing her best to give her the tools to be confident and well-rounded now, so that she can face these things better when that time comes. That’s how I understood what she was trying to say anyway, sometimes actions speak louder than words and you have to take the translated-across-languages words within the context of what actions someone is taking. This mother is clearly not neglecting her daughter’s emotional needs, and is really doing her best to be supportive as much as she humanly can.
These conversations are so important to have, baby girl is adorable !! Bless her always ❤
Aaah nice, I see mom learned well on the hair.❤
That old lady still definitely has the same attitude she did back then cause she didn’t even say she doesn’t think like that anymore or that’s she’s changed. She just said the younger generation changed
The old lady really said 'good and bright skin', what a colourist statement.
I love that u r addressing these topics for us all! Thank you and I wish u n Bomi the best of life! Raise her with confidence,pride in herself. N HER Culture Her traditions n Her beliefs n she will stand strong n shine n others will see this and know there is no bringing her down! N that alone will stop most negative people because most ppl like that pick on the weak n unsure, ppl thy know they can beat and make feel bad. Keep up the good work Momma n Papa !
Happy to see that thoughts are changing in a good way!! ❤
Your daughter is beautiful.
Such a strong mom abd beautiful baby! Blessings to you and your family. Bomi grown up very slow!! ❤
Lol Bomi is chaotic😂😂
Most toddlers are 😂😂
Bomi's a cutie pie
Bless, what a lovely family, You can see proper Mum Dad combo too, I think it shows a lot of change has already happened in Korea so far, with the younger Korean girl taking note of struggles her friends had in school with what struggles Bomi may have too, I think that shows that thoughts are changing a little more amongst the younger generation (Slowly but surely) and that people are more and more taking it to themselves to be a little more understanding.
Its that thing of Love has no boundaries or prejudice, we just need to learn how to accept it across the globe init
BOMI IS ADORABLE! I really like the mom’s mindset
Shes a beautiful little girl 😊
*She’s so cute and inquisitive! Smart girl (: and I know her mom means well but please never try to make them hug/touch someone or anything like that, kids who grow up obeying adults on matters like this are more likely to get sexually abused because they are raised to believe they have to do it if they’re told to, especially by an adult! RESPECT THEIR RIGHT TO SAY NO! Especially if you then try to teach them they have rights over their bodies and others need consent from them, which goes against making them hug/touch someone…*
Maybe in the future the mother will be more willing to talk to Bomi about how to overcome racism.
It's so important to introduce people to scenarios that are not regularly seen in their culture, and allowing them to learn and ask questions without judgement. I love this channel.
“The skin is not as dark as I thought” laughs. 🥴
It breaks my heart to see people are racist. We as black have been through so much and still we’re treated this way.
I agree it's tragic, especially because black people are individuals, not a monolith. However, it would be lying to deny some basis for the persistant racism against blacks. Black people are not winning. In America, over 70% of black children are illegitimate. At least 25% of blacks live below the poverty level. Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime, and many don't value education. Even African countries are terrible due to habitual mismanagement and strife.
So, with those "specs", how can anyone blame Koreans or any other Asian group for being racist. The very things that they see Blacks "represent" are completely against their cultural values.
We must stop lying to ourselves and take ownership of the toxicity that is in the black community. Only then can we clean up the image of black people that gets transmitted to other countries.
12%of the population.... 50% of the crimes.
Bomi looks just like her mom, both are so pretty
Bomi is so cute! And her mom is great as always! 😊
Bomi’s mom is very respectful talking to the ajuma. Good job!
i would love it if they brought Han Hyunmin on here so that he can speak of his experience growing up in Korea especially as a black passing Korean person. I feel that the mum is positive of her child's future in Korea which is good but she really needs to see the reality of first hand experience of racism in Korea as a mixed child.
The mum is so hopeful and really loves her daughter which the daughter fully deserves but it's so important to show the reality of Korea as a country where bullying is a never ending problem. She's most likely has grown up there and knows that it's not sunshine and daisies there and knows being different or standing out will get you picked on. Even foreign people who live in Korea, have a job there, have a house there are still considered an outsider even if they know Korean even better than a Korean person so what difference would there be with a mixed child?
The mum should instil these positive words inside of her before the negative ones do.
black passing? he's Korean and Nigerian
Hello everybody, hope you all have a good time while watching the video 😊😊😊
Babygirl is beautiful. Her smile can make anyone smile back 😁
She does look like mom if you look at her face instead of just focusing on the color difference!
I'm so scared for the girl what she's going to experience when she grows up at school or at work in this country since I know she risks being bullied if she grows up low I pray with all my heart that this doesn't happen
It's normal there now I watch this biracial Korean teen girl channel who is from America but raised in Korea she fits in real good and is loved by her peers and community!
@@thankmelater90210 I know who you are talking about and she edits her videos with only positive comments from her peers. These new GenZ kids aren't outright nasty to Blasian kids but they also aren't accepting. Don't expect anyone to have a crush on or date you, Korean kids will say microaggressions things about your hair & skin, and you do get bullied/outcasted at least in one period of your school life.
@@thankmelater90210 I also know two girls who are blasian and they seem to be good and to be accepted in their schools but you should know that in all high schools or colleges in Korea there is a 98% chance Whether they get bullied because of their skin differences or that they don't generally look like Korean and the criterion or just for stupid reasons so when we see the percentage Korean people who are harassed, there is a chance that she will also experience it when she grows up and the mother knows that and I hope that if she has the means that she can put her in a safe school where there will be no problems Or the hardest way is to go live abroad and when she finishes school they can consider coming back to Korea
Edit
!
Ps:don't think that it's because someone there seems happy and well treated that it's necessarily good you don't know her personally so you can't know if that's actually what she's showing in videos are true
@@Chels4hair exactly what I'm trying to explain given the beauty criteria of Koreans they would be sure that a Korean mixed race person would be accepted especially a blasian no chance and also people forget that Koreans don't necessarily like foreigners who come to their countries ''they tolerate them, it's completely different'' Koreans are quite strict when it comes to beauty criteria I even saw a video of a Korean who interviews foreigners about their lives in Korea And he asked how the dates were going, there was a woman who said that a Korean had told her that they would never go out with a black woman because if he committed to a serious relationship with her they risk having a child, it's not what he wants and he very clearly said that the child risks being harassed at school or at work and that's not what he wants so he prefers don't get involved in it (the girl looked quite shocked and thought what he said was mean but no it's not mean it's just real what they said I don't even think this guy wanted to make her sad or out of spite he just wanted to tell her the truth) South Korea in terms of harassment is more horrible compared to Japan this is the first reason which means that there are more and more suicides even if they send messages of prevention through dramas, newspapers, words of encouragement and safety barriers at the bridge it changes absolutely nothing since the number of suicides each month is not decreasing and also people need to know that in terms of harassment it doesn't happen like in the drama it's times worse in real life in Korea (I don't know if you saw the glory but this series seems to have shocked everyone when they saw what this girl suffered and it's real it's not a story Film where everything is imagining it really happened like that so imagine already someone who denounces this openly traumatized for life there must be many who have suffered worse but don't want to say anything Because of the fear they have
