  • I had a chat with my viewer Leo on how it's like living in Singapore. We had our meal at Crafted by Peter Zwiener, located at Esplanade. Leo is half Japanese, half Mexican interning in Singapore for 6 months. I thought his background was quite interesting and decided to ask his take on Singapore.

      That's because Mexican isn't a race. A sizable minority of Mexicans are of predominantly European descent due to Spanish colonization. Most Mexicans are of multigenerationally mixed-race ancestry, being of mixed Spanish and Amerindian descent.

      This "look" and all it represents, is the future of the human race. It is happening the world over. Singapore is fortunate to have het fair share. With the national policies and aspirational direction of the Singapore govermrnt let's hope you can nurture a superior society going forward.

    Hi Ghib, love your videos and encourage you to continue YouTubing whatever makes you happy. However recently your videos on both channels have distracting background noise, although you/your guest have got microphones on. I’m no expert in this area too, but it would probably help viewers enjoy more if audio was improved. Shooting and hosting wise you did great! I know you put in a lot of hard work! Appreciate always

    I think Singaporeans are simply legit busy. We are always working or schooling at full throttle. We don’t stop to look at strangers cos everyone looks normal to us. But we are known to be warm hearted even if some of us are awkward. But I suppose minding our own business may seem unfriendly it’s kinda the same with New Yorkers?

    Ang moh literally means red hair. I suspect when the Brits first landed in SG the first Brit a Sporean Chinese saw was a brunette so there you go.
    Its not racist per se but may have been abused by some just like how ah neh & bayee mean older brother in tamil & punjabi but have been abused by some for racist purposes.

    • @YummYakitori
      @YummYakitori Рік тому

      The term angmoh (红毛 in Hokkien dialect) didn't originate in Singapore but in southern Fujian, China where most of our ancestors came from. This is why the Taiwanese also use angmoh to refer to all things "European", for example the Fort San Domingo in Tamsui close to Taipei is also named 紅毛城 in Chinese (Ang-mng siann in Hokkien). It was first applied to the Portuguese and Dutch, not the Brits. Interestingly the Japanese used a similar term 紅毛 (こうもう koumou) during the Edo period in tandem with 南蠻 (nanban) to refer to Europeans, but it fell out of use thereafter
